In Reideen season 1 episode 1, titled "The Reborn Legend," we are introduced to a group of astronauts who have returned from an expedition to Mars. Upon their return, they discover that their world has drastically changed. The Tokyo Bay area has been engulfed by the sea and the world seems to be in a state of constant chaos. In the midst of this, we meet our protagonist, Jinguji Akira, a high school student who is struggling to come to terms with the recent loss of his mother.
While coming back from school, Akira sees a strange object falling from the sky and crashes into Tokyo Bay. Intrigued by the object, he decides to investigate and comes across a mysterious girl named Mari. Mari seems to have a connection to the strange object, which they soon discover is a giant robot. As they explore the robot, they come across an inscription that reads "Reideen."
Later that night, Akira and his friend, Kageyama, are ambushed by some strange shadow creatures. In the midst of the attack, the Reideen robot activates and seemingly comes alive, destroying the creatures with ease. Akira realizes that he may hold the key to unlocking the true power of the Reideen, and along with Mari, they must learn more about the robot and its history.
Meanwhile, the world's military is aware of the Reideen's existence and is determined to capture it and its pilot for their own gain. They launch an attack on the high school, hoping to capture Akira and the Reideen. However, with the newfound power of the robot, Akira is able to defend himself and his friends.
As the episode comes to a close, Akira and Mari are left pondering the true potential of the Reideen and what lies ahead for them. What secrets does the robot hold and how will it be used in the ongoing conflict engulfing the world? Only time will tell as the legend of the Reideen is reborn.
