Moldiver

Plot

The story follows Mirai Ozora, a girl living in Tokyo in 2045 whose main interests are shopping and modeling. Her older brother Hiroshi works as an inventor for the corporation ZIC and creates the Mol-Unit, a device that lets objects operate outside normal physics, granting flight, super-speed, strength, and invulnerability. The unit can remain active for only 666 seconds, just over eleven minutes. Hiroshi uses the Mol-Unit to become the superhero Captain Tokyo, seeking personal fame.

Mirai discovers the device and alters the costume it generates to a more feminine design, causing a malfunction that makes the costume randomly switch between Hiroshi's and her own version. Hiroshi then lets Mirai use the Mol-Unit, and she approaches her new role more lightheartedly than he does. A villain named Dr. Machinegal, who is actually Hiroshi's former teacher Professor Amagi, leads a robot army including the Machinegal Dolls, androids named after famous models and actresses.

The youngest Ozora sibling, Nozumu, creates his own Mol-Unit and adopts a supervillain persona out of spite toward his brother and sister. Mirai, initially unaware of these threats, is drawn into superheroism and accepts the responsibility.
