Dr. Kazuki, who foresaw an invasion of Earth by the Izaru people, builds a robot based on the science of magnetism and sphere joint theory. After undergoing a dangerous augmentation process, Dr. Kazuki's daughter Mai becomes the pilot of "Mighty," also known as "Magnetman Minus." Takeshi Houjou becomes the pilot of "Puraiza," also known as "Magnetman Plus." The pilots would hold each other and then physically transform their joint bodies into a metallic plate that locks onto the frame of the Gakeen (short for "Gathering Keen") robot, enabling the super robot to move and fight. To an adult's eye, this sequence was notable for its almost-sexual connotation.
