An unparalleled war fought 30.000 years before the story that we are about to see, is the beginning of the adventure of Moby Dick 5; Atlantis the submerged continent (which here has moved into space) and the kingdom of Mu. The first of the two kingdoms is linked to a mineral that makes its inhabitants highly combative, the second, on the contrary, to a mineral that regenerates itself from love. War produces an energy depletion in both kingdoms that leads them to disappear, but not entirely. Ra-Mu the ruler of Mu, predicting that the kingdom of evil Zarkon would one day return to destroy the earth, develops a science fiction work of preserving his lineage. Daughter Madora will sacrifice her own body and become a cyborg and five warriors will be prepared for reincarnation.

In the first episode "The awakening of the white whale", the earth is shaken by terrible and inexplicable natural catastrophes and here we begin to get to know the characters, the earthly boys in which the five warriors of Mu will be incarnated, Ken Shirogane a very impetuous and courageous boy will be Kein; Rei Shiratori , a girl of fervent intelligence and sensitivity, will be Reiner; Yozuro Shiraki a loyal boy capable of sacrificing himself for his friends, will be Jonas; Manabushi Rokawa a child compared to the other technology enthusiast, will be Garaxe; Rokase Shinmu the easy-going of the team passionate about nature, will be Shiishi.
The human characteristics of these boys will allow Madora to summon the spirits of the five warriors of Mu.

In the second episode "The sons of Mu", the five boys will find themselves unaware of everything on the island after a sign has materialized on their body.
Here they will meet Madora who will lead them in the presence of the spirit of King Ra-Mu, who will explain to the boys that the catastrophes that are happening on earth are a sign that the kingdom of Atlantis has awakened.
The five warriors have technological spaceships at their disposal and slowly they will discover the powers they possess, in a game of parts between the new and the old personalities.
The ancient empire of Mu re-emerges from the depths and a splendid white whale appears from the depths (banner of the ancient kingdom). Meanwhile, a huge meteorite hangs over the earth's surface.

"All men are children of Mu" reassures Ra - Mu, promising the boys his intervention. His spirit is resurrected in the White Whale. The boys take on the role of ancient warriors and Ra Mu tells them about the ancient and deleterious war between the two kingdoms.
The third episode "The lost homeland", he continues what happened to the two continents, and it turns out that Ra-Mu forced the Atlanteans to take refuge in space, stealing their powerful weapon and forcing King Zarkon to hibernate. Now the evil queen Condra searches for the Olymphalcon to awaken Zarkon.
Pleasant characterization of the characters and the setting between science fiction and mythology. Ambitious for the eighties, today it appears heavily retro, even if the themes appear current, perhaps because the struggle between good and evil is as old as the world.
