In short: In the future, the "Metal Confront" games are the most popular televised sport in the world and many robot contestants compete for the title of Best Metal Fighter in the World. Kurenai Ken, along with teammate Saeba Shoko (who was, at first, adamant), pilots the Super Robot Fighter, Red Baron and enters the contest with dreams of becoming its champion.

Along the way, he has to, however, face an army of other rivals from around the realm including Kaizer. the Tetsumen Tou ("Iron Fist" - a reference to the original Red Baron TV series) doctors, Tiger and ShinRon.

With mecha at the core, robot design, combat scale and technical spectacle are the draw. Voice work is led by Kappei Yamaguchi as Ken Kurenai and Rie Iwatsubo as Shouko Saeba. Think of it as a pick for fans of giant robots and large-scale battles. With 49 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
