A mysterious stone known as Skull Stone is currently split apart and scattered across the planet. It is said to have the power to reveal the location of the largest deposit of gold in the world. This legend has entranced the trio of villains in this show: the "Doronbo Gang, who is on a pursue of fame, power and wealth. However, their hunt for the Skull Stone is not as easy as they imagined, mainly due to the faulty information they receive from their leader, and most of all, due to a righteous duo of pursuers called the "Yatterman". Unlike the previous series, this show does not cover any specifically notable time/space travel (apart from the 38th episode, in which the two sides convert their own mechas into time machines). Instead, the places the characters travel to and the individuals they meet are generally homages (or spoofs) of existing ones (to emphasize that they are NOT actual historical events of characters, but modern ones existing in some other random places of the world). These fictional characters/places are usually represented by purposely misspelled names or familiar actions. For example, a revolution leader is named "Yashington" as a homage of George Washington; and a place resembling ancient Japan is named "Yametai", as a spoof of Yamatai. However, the climax part of each episode involves a clash between the heroes and the villains, both of whom are after their own goals. As before, the villains have terrible accidents in each episode. |
