Description:

An invitation from Hitler during World War II tempted Dr. Asagumo to join the development of a dangerous weapon named "Big X" in Nazi Germany. Despite his apprehension towards the devastating impact of the weapon, Dr. Asagumo agreed to work on it. However, he and his cunning collaborator, Dr. Engel, concocted a subversive scheme to thwart the project. Before his demise at the hands of the German army, Dr. Asagumo surreptitiously concealed a card with the secret of Big X inside his son, Shigeru's body. The furtively-hidden card was discovered, twenty years later, in Tokyo where Shigeru's remains laid. A faction tied to the Nazi regime took responsibility for the theft of the card and proceeded to carry out the Big X project, aided by Dr. Engel's grandchild, who had now joined the Nazi Alliance. The substance was later revealed to be a limitless body-expanding drug. Akira, Shigeru's offspring, heroically retrieved Big X from its adversaries and confronted the Nazi Alliance and Hans Engel, who were plotting global domination.
