▍About the Series
“Getter Robo Arc” is the final “Getter Robo” manga by Ken Ishikawa. It serves as a sequel to the “Getter Robo Go manga”. It reintroduces the Andromeda Country from the “Shin Getter Robo” manga as the main villains. It was published in Super Robot Magazine in 2002 and has been put into a permanent hiatus when Ishikawa passed away from heart failure in 2006.
The story centers on the conflict against the Andromeda Country, the new enemy of humanity that seeks to destroy the source of the getter rays that has devastated its civilization. Hope rests on the titular Getter Robo Ark robot, but the appearance of another mysterious Getter Robot, piloted by the son of Ryoma Nagare, introduces another complication to the conflict.
