In order to avoid a large-scale war in space, each country devised a system called the Gundam Fight, in which Gundams representing each country fight each other on the Earth ring, and the winning country is given the lead for the next four years. Then, in the 60th year of the future century, the 13th Gundam Fight tournament was about to be held. Domon Kasshu, who is chasing his brother Kyoji who escaped with the Devil Gundam, which has the ability to regenerate itself, wanders around various places with his crew member Rain Mikamura, and continues to fight Gundam Fights as the Gundam fighter representing Neo Japan. During the journey, he fights with Chibode, Sai Saicee, Georges, and Argo, who later become his friends as the "Shuffle Alliance," and they come to respect each other and become reliable companions.
