The show's other major distinguishing point is that it's something of a {{buddy cop}} show: Hokuto and Ginga are complete opposites (the former is an introverted nerd, the latter is a boisterous jock) but they're forced to work together because only two people working in tandem can pilot Dendoh.

** It also incorporates a lot of unused elements from ''Project Z'', a proposed third ''GaoGaiGar'' show, most notably the two protagonists are patterned after Mamoru and Kaidou. The nonsensical idea of two kids being forced to pilot a MotionCaptureMecha together was originally a somewhat more understandable result of the two protagonists having to use their alien powers to fuel the new human-built Gaogaigar's Hell and Heaven attack in the absence of a G-Stone, as the last one was trapped on the other side of the galaxy with Gai and Galleon at the end of ''FINAL''.

Dendoh tells the story of an AlienInvasion of Earth by mechanical aliens known as the Galfa and two elementary school kids, [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Hokuto Kusanagi]] and [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Ginga Izumo]], who are chosen to fight them by a giant kung fu robot called Dendoh. As chosen pilots of mankind's last, best superweapon, they are recruited by the organization GEAR to etc. etc. etc.

As people familiar with SuperRobot anime can tell by now, Dendoh is pretty [[{{troperrific}} standard]] for the genre, and intentionally so. Where it excels is in its storytelling - not being StrictlyFormula in spite of its genre conventions - and its likeable cast of characters and their relationships. And of course, tons of {{Shout Out}}s.
