This is the show that hands a high schooler three servants and expects you to just accept it, and you do, instantly. Koichi Yamano goes from ordinary student to heir of an alien castaway, and his crew is the flex: Rodem the black panther who slides into human shape when the situation calls for a face, Ropros the winged monster built for the sky, and Poseidon the silent giant who does not negotiate. The Babel Tower buried in the desert is 1973 Toei doing scale on a budget, and it still lands, because the show treats psychic power as work rather than spectacle. Yomi makes it matter. He is not a monster of the week, he is another esper with a plan, and the war grinds from Asian sand to city streets across all 39 episodes. Watch it for the moment Rodem changes and nobody in the room blinks.

Koichi is a young student whose simple life changes when he learns he is the reincarnation of an alien protector who crashed on Earth. Taking up the duty of guarding the planet, he joins forces with three alien companions who have powers of their own and fights the forces of an evil cult leader set on controlling the world. The struggle carries Babel from the deserts of southern Asia to Manhattan's upper east side, and finally to a showdown with the cult's master in a base hidden in the Swiss Alps. Along the way, the young hero has to master the psychic power sleeping inside him to defeat humanity's enemies. The series is a mecha and science fiction adventure with a supernatural streak.
