In the distant future, the supposedly crazy and ingenious scientist Zorndyke, while he manipulated the magnetic fields and achieved instability of the earth's crust by restructuring it, also the polar ice caps began to melt through climate changes and large parts of the world were submerged in the water, through mutation-thinking creatures of the water and created the earth with human traits beginning to fight against humanity with great success. The rest of the people fight against him and his creatures, especially the submarine fleet of the Blue Dome underwater station . Officer Mayumi Kino is part of the leadership of the ultra-modern submarine Blue Submarine No.6 . She wants to convince the melancholy, headstrong specialist Tetsu Hayami to fight with her in order to finally defeat Zorndyke. He finds a level-headed, dying and sad Zorndyke and has to discover that the creatures he created in response to immense environmental destruction and the death of his family, endowed with feelings, are very intelligent, lovable and worth living. These fight under their ingenious, angry, angry leader in the form of an upright shark and the "son" Zorndykes, even only for their survival and a place in the big, wide world. In the end, in favor of peaceful coexistence, an even greater catastrophe, the entire destruction of the earth in the form of a massive use of nuclear material on both sides, can just be prevented.
