Original Story
The year is 2911 and the solar system consists of 50 planets. I.C Blues, a gambler, makes a bet with the boss of a criminal syndicate known as Bloody god that it is possible to navigate to all 50 planets within the space of one year. Taking up the challenge of I.C Blues is the JJ9 team, made up of Rocky, Beat and Birdy, who have purchased a super robot capable of transforming into a train from the space merchant D.D Richman. This robot is Sasuraiger.
As Blues and the JJ9 team start the challenge, it soon becomes evident that the Bloody Syndicate will do anything to ensure the JJ9 team loses the bet. Sasuraiger will become the JJ9 team's best defense as they adventure across the stars.
The original concept was adopted from the novel Around the World in Eighty Days. The names have a noticeable western influence.
The anime was available in Indonesia in the form of VHS and Betamax with the title "Wonder Six". The name referenced the six characters who were on the adventure.
