Plot

Dr. Torahiko Kouenji is a fictional character renowned for his archaeological achievements in uncovering ancient writings from the Earth's deepest layers. These writings revealed the existence of 13 mystical artifacts known as "Star Pieces" (スターピース, Sutā Pīsu), believed to possess wish-granting abilities when gathered together.

In his quest to locate the Star Pieces, Dr. Kouenji developed a series of search robots, referred to as "B-Robots". However, an unforeseen complication arose when a trio of these robots, led by Cobrander, were prematurely activated before completing their sleep-education program. Consequently, they embarked on a spree of misdeeds within the town.

Fortunately, another team comprising three fully trained "good" B-Robots had completed their sleep-learning curriculum. These robots, along with Yuzuru Kouenji, Dr. Kouenji's grandson, and his companions Sayuri Mitaka and Kuranosuke Kichijouji, united forces to search for the elusive Star Pieces. Together, they navigated through challenges posed by the rogue B-Robots while striving to achieve their goal.
