In the year 1999, humanity begins to advance beyond the solar system. The leader of the planet Gishin, Emperor Zule, aims to conquer the galaxy and ends up in a conflict with Earth as a result. In an act aimed to eliminate the Earth, he sends a baby named Mars to live among humanity. Mars is accompanied by Gaia, a giant robot that utilizes a new power source strong enough to destroy an entire planet. Once Mars grows up, he will destroy the Earth by activating the bomb within Gaia. However, upon arriving on Earth, Mars is adopted into a Japanese family and given the name Takeru. Seventeen years later, Takeru has grown a love for humanity and he refuses to detonate the bomb as ordered by Zule. However, the bomb within Gaia is set to explode if Takeru were ever to die, which would ultimately result in the Earth's destruction.
Takeru possesses psychic powers (ESP) and decides to join the Earth defense forces and becomes a member of the Crasher Squad (an elite space defense force) where he and his friends take a stand against the Gishin attack.
Unknown to the Gishin, five other robots were created in secrecy along side Gaia by Takeru's father and sent with Gaia to protect Takeru. The five other robots are Sphinx, Uranus, Titan, Shin and Ra. Whenever Earth is in danger, Takeru is able to summon the five other robots to combine with Gaia form the giant robot Godmars.

Where it came from
God Mars, released in 1981 by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, emerged during the height of the mecha anime boom. The series is a loose adaptation of Mitsuteru Yokoyama's manga Mars, shifting the focus from the original's psychological drama toward the Super Robot genre popular at the time. It was produced to capitalize on the audience's appetite for transformable robot designs and high-stakes space opera narratives.
The visual design of the series and the titular robot was heavily influenced by the aesthetic sensibilities of director Tetsuo Imazawa. The character designs by Kazuo Komatsubara helped bridge the gap between classic manga tropes and the sophisticated mecha action demanded by 1980s television audiences. Upon release, it was particularly well-received for its dramatic storytelling and the iconic design of the God Mars robot, which remains a recognized figure in the history of giant robot animation.
