Dr. Kazuki, who perceived of an invasion of Earth by the Izaru people builds a robot based on the science of magnetism and sphere joint theory. Undergoing a dangerous augmentation process, Dr. Kazuki's daughter Mai becomes the pilot of "Mighty" or "Magnetman Minus". Takeshi Hojo becomes the pilot of "Puraiza" or "Magnetman Plus". The pilots would hold each other and then physically trasform their joint bodies in a metallic plate locking itself on the Gakeen (Short for "Gathering Keen") robot's frame thus enabling the super robot to move and fight. This sequence was notable, to an adult's eye, for its almost-sexual connotation.

Where it came from
Magne Robo Gakeen premiered in 1976 as a production of Toei Animation, emerging during the peak of the Super Robot boom in Japanese television. The series was designed to capitalize on the popularity of magnetic toy gimmicks, which allowed for modular reconfiguration of the characters. It serves as a classic example of the 'gattai' or combination subgenre, where the protagonists, Takeru and Mai, would physically combine their respective ships to form the titular robot.
The character design was heavily influenced by the aesthetic sensibilities of the mid-1970s mecha boom, characterized by bold silhouettes and vibrant color schemes intended to drive toy sales. While the series did not reach the same long-term cultural ubiquity as contemporaries like Mazinger Z, it remains a significant touchstone for collectors of vintage die-cast toys and 1970s animation, representing the experimental spirit of the era's toy-linked television programming.
