In 1977, Professor Senjiro Shiba discovered a bell in some old ruins. After deciphiring the engravings on the bell, the bell tells the tale of a ruthless alien empire known as the Haniwans who has conquered numerous planets. Also, the bell also holds the secret of how to defeat the Haniwans, using a giant robot known as Jeeg. The bell holds the blueprints on how to build Jeeg. Shiba immediately starts working on building Jeeg.

Several years later, Professor Shiba completes the robot, Jeeg, and its power source, an amulet that is shaped like Jeeg's head. Unfortunately, the Haniwans arrives on Earth to conquer the planet. They encounter Prof. Shiba an mortally wound him. His son, Hiroshi, find him, tell him about the Haniwans, Jeeg, and gives him the amulet before his death. Since then, Hiroshi pilots Jeeg, Robot of Steel and battles the Haniwan Empire.

After many failures, the Emporer of Darkness appared from out of nowhere, repremanding Queen Hikima.  The Queen did not like being belittled by someone she did not know.  However, she should've kept her mouth shut.  The emporer killed her with demon fire and claimed her armies as his own as well as her high soldiers.

After a long and lengthy battle against the Haniwan Empire, the empire crumbled as Jeeg destroyed the Haniwan Empire and the Emporer of Darkness; thus, peace returned to the world.  Hiroshi Shiba retired his mecha after the Haniwan Wars and entrusted them to his sidekick, Miwa Uzuki.  Sadly, in 1983, Hiroshi Shiba died of a mysterious disease.  His body was cremated, and his ashed were stored in an urn inside a secret shrine.  Afterwards, Miwa decided to look for a surrogate.  It took her 16 years, and Janne, became the new pilot of Kotetsu Jeeg.

Janne answered an ad for the "Public Hers Cleaning House" sweepstakes just for fun after she beat her rival, Fro Dawg, after moving to a new mansion.  Days later, she received a mysterious package, containing a 3D message from Miwa herself.  The next day, a big pile of robot parts arrived on her doorstep and a small package in her mailbox, containing an amulet.  She donned the amulet and forgone a mysterious transformation.  Her body began to float in the air and turn from flesh to steel.  Then, her metal body molded into a robot's head.  Seconds afterwards, the parts begin flying to the head, connecting to it until it formed a giant robot; thus, Kotetsu Jeeg "The Robot of Steel" was born anew.

Janne had a hard time trying to understand that she has become the pilot of a mecha that became a part of her!  A few days later, a young woman came to her mansion.  Her name is Miwa Uzuki.

Miwa Uzuki came to Janne, slowly helping her understand the situation that she was in.  Miwa pilots a large aircraft called "The Big Shooter".  This giant aircraft can carry ALL of Jeeg's parts including several spares.  Whenver Janne asks... or shouts... for a certain Kotetsu Jeeg add-on, Miwa would fire it from her aircraft, and Janne would use it to her abilities.  Also, Miwa can recall any Jeeg parts to her aircraft.

Janne was reluctant at first.  However, she didn't really have much time to decide whether or not to willingly become Jeeg's newest pilot.

Somewhere in Souther Japan, a small cult worshipped the Haniwans and worshipped them as gods.  One day, a female cult follower sacrificed herself on an altar.  Through her death, she was regenerated as Queen Hikima herself.  Three other male cult followers killed themselves and regenerated into Hikima's three generals:  Ichimu, Amaso, and Mimashi.  The rest of the cult followers became Hikima's stone warriors, legions of followers that would do her bidding.

Their first order was to kill Hiroshi Shiba, the original pilot of Kotetsu Jeeg.  However, when they heard that Hiroshi is dead, they turned to Jeeg's newest pilot, Janne.  Hikima ordered for Janne's assassination so that Jeeg would not recapture the glory it had gained many years before.  Janne & Miwa worked together to fight against the Haniwan Empire, and eventually, Janne managed to control the Robot of Steel as good as Hiroshi Shiba did back in 1977.  Although there were periods of time where the Haniwan Empire did not make any moves, Janne & Miwa were ready for the battles ahead.

In a climactic battle against Queen Hikima, Hiroshi's spirit came to Janne and told him her story.  Janne, being the man-hater that she is, was not too happy about hearing men speak out about stuff... even dead men.  Janne & Hiroshi's spirit merged and the two became "Mini-Jeeg".  Mini-Jeeg fought Queen Hikima until the end.  Queen Hikima died, leaving a gaping hole in the Haniwan Empire.  Unfortunately, that was not the end.

Thought long dead since 1977, The Emporer of Darkness emerged from the shadows after Queen Hikima died.  He recontructed the remains of the Haniwan Empire and even resurrected Ichimu, Amaso, and Mimashi.  Also, he recruited a fourth general, a woman named Flora.  Quickly, Flora became his most favorite generals, favoring her for important missions than the others.

One day, Flora thought of a way to kill Janne.  She would send out a mecha to destroy a part of the city, only to bring the Robot of Steel into the open, so that she could capture it.  She sent out the Shell Giant, Jaundice to do the dirty work.  The plan worked.  Jeeg came to the scene to battle the monster and won.  Unfortunately, Jeeg was captured and rendered immobilized.  The Big Shooter was also captured as well.  Thus, Janne, Miwa and two other friends with them (Skitz & Cham cham) were captured too.

They were thrown in a cell, awaiting execution later on.  Fortunately, the escaped and slaughtered Ichimu, who was in their way.  They eventually encountered the other generals.  Flora insisted on having a one-on-one battle with Janne.  Mimashi did not like the idea, for he wanted to kill Janne himself.  Flora did not give him the chance; she killed him, thinking he was incompetant.  This angered Amaso, and Flora killed Amaso as well.  Flora fought Janne one-on-one.  Unfortunately, Janne successfully killed Flora in a heated sword battle.

The Emporer of Darkness grew angry over this incurring failures and fought Janne and her group himself.  He defeated Skitz.  He defeated Cham Cham.  He even defeated Janne.  All seemed lost until Hiroshi spoke from Janne's amulet.  Once again, the two merged and became "Mini-Jeeg".  Mini-Jeeg fought the Emporer of Darkness and killed him, thus, ending the Haniwan Empire once more.  After the battle, Janne brought Hiroshi back to the secret shrine so that his spirit can finally rest in peace.  Mini-Jeeg is now resting.

Knuckle Buster: Jeeg clenches boths fists and fires them at once.  Unlike other flying fists, these fire from the wrists.

Dynamite Punch:  Jeeg fires the standard flying punch from the elbow.  At times, Janne can fire both at once, but she needs to recall them both afterwards.

Ankle Buster: Jeeg fires one of his feet to attack the enemy, similar to the Knuckle Buster. However, Jeeg cannot walk straight after using this move until the foot is recalled.

Dynamite Kick: Jeeg fires one of his feet, up to the knee, at the enemy, similar to the Dynamite Kick. The rules on the Ankle Buster apply to this move as well.

Jeeg Laser: Jeeg fires laser beams from the eyes.  The destructive power can range from defensive to destructive.

Jeeg Drills: They are a pair of large drills that enables Jeeg to fly. These drills can be fired to the enemy.  To use the Jeeg Drills, half of both Jeeg's arms must be removed.

Jeeg Bazooka:  Jeeg uses a large bazooka attacked to its arm.  To use this, Jeeg must remove one of its arms and aim with the other.  Jeeg can use this move once per transformation, so this is really a one-time shot.

Jeeg Lancer: The Jeeg Lancer is a large staff that can be use like a normal spear.

Subtereanean Module:  Jeeg's arms are recalled for this.  In the arms place, Jeeg uses diamond-hard drills as its arms and metal, spiked tires around its soldiers.  This is a very powerful Jeeg upgrade.

Magnetic Rope: Jeeg fires this from the abdomen.  It is a long rope that ties around the mecha, rendering them immobile for about 60 seconds, depending on the mecha, ensnared therein.

Wheel of Misfortune: This is a new Jeeg attachment. In Jeeg's hand, he holds a large circular disc, laced with sharp spikes. He spins this around and throws it like a discus.

(Finisher) Blitz-Jeeg: Kotetsu Jeeg has two Jeeg Bazooka armed, along with the Jeeg Lasers from the eyes and the four circular niches on its upper chest. Jeeg fires all these weapons at once, hence the anecdote: "Blitzkreig". The Jeeg Bazooka rules apply in this move though Jeeg can fire the Jeeg Bazooka twice... one for each bazooka. (Note: If Kotetsu Jeeg used the Jeeg Bazooka earlier, it cannot use this finisher.)

(Finisher)  Spin Storm:  Jeeg fires this from the red, circular portion of its abdomen.  It is a powerful, concentrated energy beam that can destroy most mechas.Fired from the belt

(Finisher)  Jeeg Breaker: A mere bear hug.  Jeeg wraps his arms around the enemy's waists and squeezes as hard as it can.  If Kotetsu Jeeg uses this move while in the Subtereanean Module upgrade, the Jeeg Breaker can be even MORE damaging.

(Super Finisher) Super Spin Storm: Kotetsu Jeeg has a strap-on belt around area where the Spin Storm is fired. This Jeeg upgrade magnifies the intensity of the Spin Storm 20 fold. Jeeg fires this mega-concentrated beam at the enemy with even more power than the original Spin Storm. Jeeg only uses this special finisher whenever it is low on energy or in an "It's him or me" scenario, normally used as a desperation move. After using this move, Kotetsu Jeeg is dangerously low on energy.
