* Based on Tezuka Osamu's early masterpiece, The Next World.

Bateito Island mysteriously appeared in the Southern Strait several years ago — once a beautiful place. But both the Star Country and the Union tried to claim it, and the resulting conflict polluted and destroyed the island. Presently the biologist, Dr. Yamadano — researching the worldwide pollution in general, and the catastrophic changes on this island in particular — discovers a new race of humanoid beings, the Fumoon, apparently born of this wasteland.

Returning to his laboratory with one such specimen, Dr. Yamadano calls his good friend the private detective Higeoyaji, asking him to help escort the new life form to the 222nd International Conference, where Dr. Yamadano is planning to share his discovery with the world. The doctor reasons that this new species may be a sign that the organisms on Earth are about to change completely. But the being prematurely awakens from anaesthesia, destroying the laboratory by unleashing telekinetic powers, escaping into the night. Higeoyaji follows the Fumoon, and both are kidnapped by a space ship of unknown origin...

Kenichi, Higeoyaji's apprentice detective, gets on the case, noting that the glittering trace left behind by the escaping humanoid being, matches those found at numerous sites of animal disappearances. Kenichi and his sister Peach Yamadano at the conference held in Star Country. It becomes apparent that Higeoyaji must be held captive on Bateito Island... but how are the Fumoon involved in all of this, and what will mankind's fate be?

Twelve-year-old Linn Youki loyally ed his father when the world laughed at the scientist for saying that Earth was about to be invaded from outer space. But Linn did not expect to become personally involved--until he met Takoro, the strange young deputy sheriff from another world who was on the trail of notorious space criminals. There were only four Kurodako Brothers, but they plotted to use their alien science and natural shape-changing powers to become the secret masters of Earth. With Takoro's help, Linn became the mighty super-hero, Muteking, to foil their schemes. There is plenty of action and laughs in this light-hearted comedy-drama about a roller-skating costumed hero, his friendly but bumbling alien partner, a gang of klutzy would-be world conquerors, a beautiful police chief, an obsessed scientist, a sarcastic dog, an officious flying saucer, and others. This unusual but appealing cast of characters will charm viewers' hearts while it amuses them.
