悪の組織ワルドックの野望を打ち砕くために、
おじいちゃんの作った無敵ロボ・ギャンブラーZで戦っているんだ!
A boy from a Pachinko parlor in Yokohama. As you can see, he is a hot-blooded type.
In order to shatter the ambition of Warudoc and his evil organization,
He uses the invincible robot "Gambler Z", which was built by his grandfather, to fight them off!
Toru Kamikaze is the main protagonist of Super Robot Gambler Z. He lives in a Pachinko parlor in Yokohama, where he researches about Pachinko in his spare time, even if he is not old enough to play it himself.
One day, Toru was suddenly informed by his father and grandfather about an evil person known as Warudoc, who has an army of claw robots and is hellbent on conquering the Earth by means of cheating. He has been entrusted the super robot Gambler Z, which was created by his grandfather, to fight Warudoc and his army. He initially brushed off the information as a joke, but sometime afterward, his father went missing. Immediately afterward, Warudoc's claw robots started attacking.
In order to protect the city and to locate and save his father, he pilots Gambler Z and fights back the evil claw robots with his awesome special moves like "Royal Straight Flash" and "Renchan Bazooka".
Toru also has a girlfriend who is known by the name of Satchin, whom he is deeply in love with. She is a very nice girl who cooks really good food. Warudoc notices this and starts kidnapping her. Enraged, Toru pilots Gambler Z and fights Warudoc, and saves his girlfriend.
However, Warudoc makes improvements on his claw robots, making his army even stronger. Toru tries to fight them off, but Gambler Z's strength is no match for the powered-up robots. In a pinch, Toru calls help from his cousin Hiroshi Jingu, who uses the more powerful super robot Great Gambler to destroy Warudoc's upgraded robots.
Knowing that he is not skilled enough to fight Warudoc at this point, Toru undergoes further training while Gambler Z is being repaired.
In the meantime, it's up to Hiroshi Jingu alone to continue the fight against the evil Warudoc's army and rid the Earth of cheating.
During the training, Toru comes up with a new special move, but Gambler Z's performance could not keep up with it, so he decides to remodel it and give it a power upgrade. At the same time, Hiroshi also has his Great Gambler remodeled and powered-up. Now, with more abilities and being much more powerful than ever before, the two super robots can fight Warudoc's army together as a team!

新必殺技をあみだしたんだけどギャンブラーZの性能がそれに追い付かないのでパワーアップ中。それだけものスゴイ技なんだね。
I've come up with a new special move, but Gambler Z's performance can't keep up with it, so it's currently being powered up. It's that great of a technique.
