Plot Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The central character, Johnny Sokko<\/strong>, is an ordinary boy whose life takes a dramatic turn after a shipwreck leads him to a secret island base controlled by the villainous Gargoyle Gang (known as Big Fire in Japan). Alongside Jerry Mano<\/strong> (originally J\u016br\u014d Minami), an agent of the global anti-terror group Unicorn<\/strong>, Johnny discovers a gigantic robot engineered by the captive Dr. Lucius Guardian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
