Megaton Musashi is set in a world where mysterious alien forces known as Dracters have wiped out 99.9% of the human race. The remaining survivors take refuge in the Ixia shelter. Asides from a handful of chosen personnel, all the survivors have had their memories of the day of destruction erased so they could live a normal life. However, some of the survivors retained their memories and are chosen to fight to reclaim Earth from the aliens. Amongst the ones who retained their memories, some are chosen to pilot giant robots called Rogues.
Megaton Musashi revolves around Yamato Ichidaiji, a student, and his friends as they tackle school life and protect the world with mega-class robots called Rogues against aliens. The story is a crossover between mecha and school life.
