On the trail of a ring of gem thieves, "Weekly Japan" reporter Kotaro Rai ends up in a battle against an evil that threatens all of Asia. Kotaru follows a lead to gem trader Gen Kai Ryu, not realizing he is actually the leader of the jewel thieves. Gen Kai's gangsters capture Kotaru, and right when Gen is about to execute him, a blue diamond placed in one of the stolen rings begins to glow and speak. The voice orders Gen to stop and a blue figure comes out of the ring. He introduces himself as Diamond Eye. He shoots at the gangsters, revealing they are actually ancient evil beasts known as Zensei Majin.
