Sent to jail after being accused of murdering Getter Robo creator Dr. Saotome, Ryoma Nagare must once again team up with his former comrades and pilot Getter Robo when Saotome returns from the dead and threatens humanity by unleashing his greatest creation - the Shin Dragon. Their efforts, however, are in vain as they fail to stop a nuclear warhead from hitting Shin Dragon, resulting in a massive Getter Ray contamination that wipes out 99% of the planet's population. Thirteen years after this great catastrophe, mankind continues to fight for survival against the Invaders. Out of the remains of the nuclear blast comes Shin Getter, piloted by the artificial human Go. With remnants of the Japanese military by his side, Go - along with co-pilots Kei and Gai - must use Shin Getter to exterminate the Invaders once and for all.

Where it came from
Getter Robo: Armageddon, released in 1998, represents a gritty, high-octane reimagining of Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa’s classic mecha franchise. Produced as a 13-episode original video animation (OVA) series, it served as a dark departure from the more whimsical tone of the original 1970s television anime, focusing on themes of cosmic horror and unrelenting war. The series was created to satisfy an aging fan base seeking a mature, cinematic take on the Getter Robo mythology.
The visual identity of the series was defined by a stark, aggressive art style that emphasized the mechanical brutality of the Getter robots. Directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa for the first three episodes and subsequently by Jun Kawagoe, the production is frequently cited for its chaotic, visceral animation sequences. Upon its release, it was received as a cult classic, celebrated by enthusiasts of the super robot genre for its uncompromising atmosphere and bold departure from the franchise's traditional storytelling conventions.
