SynopsisIn the 25th century, a spaceship carrying 300 people leaves the earth in search of a new world in the solar system, but an unexpected accident occurs. They crash into a black hole which is connected to another universe. The people on the ship are cast adrift in an emergency capsule to a planet called Ismo. The story begins 12 years after they have reached Ismo.
Ismo is a star of the Onam System, which corresponds to the Solar System in our universe. It is the only planet left in the Onam System. The Death Star called Yomi is a comet which regularly approaches the Onam System.
There were once 8 planets in the Onam System. Many years ago, in the time of the gods, there was a war against the evil monster Yamatano Orochi (an 8-headed snake-like creature). The gods won the battle. Yamatano Orochi was locked into 8 stones, one of which is buried deep in the center of each planet. Nobody was supposed to have access to the core of the planets. However Tsukuyomi, an evil god who rules Yomi, succeeded in reaching the stones one after another, destroying 7 of the planets using his powerful robots, the Sky Warriors. However, when he tried to acquire the last stone from the planet Ismo, the most powerful Sky Warrior, Susanoo, got out of control and was blown away.
A million years later, the Death Star Yomi is approaching the Onam System once again. Tsukuyomi, the master of Yomi, plans to take this opportunity to realize his dream of ruling the entire universe. He is desperate for the last stone containing Yamatano Orochi. If Tsukuyomi can get hold of this stone, Yamatano Orochi will return to life and its power will become his. Tsukuyomi needs Sky Warrior Susanoo to capture the stone, and sends 8 Sky Soldiers to get Susanoo back. But it is too late. Susanoo no longer belongs to Tsukuyomi. It belongs to Takeru, a 13-year-old boy from Earth, who happened to discover the buried robot Susanoo and woke it from its million-year-long sleep. Takeru becomes involved in the battle against the Sky Soldiers and their evil master, Tsukuyomi. Susanoo stands up to protect his friends and their planet.

The protagonist lives in a world where humans are no longer dominant and live in simpler times. The hero finds a buried mecha in the ground uses it to defeat an enemy that humans have never seen before. The mecha is originally meant to be a fighting machine for the enemy, but is found by the hero just in time. Themes such as overcoming impossible obstacles, despair, a great journey, betrayal, and love are similar. Both have big doses of comedy, but Yamato Takeru is more lighthearted and not as much fanservice.
-SPOILERS-
Other large similarities include both having mysterious extraterrestrial antagonists who command a group of elite beast-looking soldiers, each having a unique and powerful mecha. Add to the fact that one of these soldiers forms a heavy rivalry with the hero and in the end becomes an ally. Both have the hero meeting new friends along the way who join in the journey to reach the enemy stronghold. Also, it seems the hero's mecha in Yamato is very special much like Lagaan in Tengen Toppa. They change form throughout the series and end up combining with an enemy mecha to obtain massive power. The heroes' love interests end up becoming the enemy and they are forced to make tough decisions in the conclusions of both series.

Both feature semi-sentient giant robots left behind from a forgotten era. The mecha designs also have some close similarities.
