Each planet is an independent nation, and each has its own culture and unique style. They have also developed technologies that are different from science, such as magic and alchemy. In this world, there is a legend of "Parts of God". Its name is "Jiguruhazel". "Jiguruhazel" is a general term for a group of "parts that hold unknown powers" scattered around the world, and it is said that a collection of these parts exists as a living organism. This life form is called the "Jiguruhazel Monster", commonly known as the "Bakujuu"!! Only those with a strong "mind" and who have mastered a special "jutsu" can control this Bakujuu. If you imagine the composition of the parts and chant "Jiguru", the parts will assemble themselves and form a shape. If you chant "Hazel", the parts will break down into pieces. Making full use of these techniques, the boys, accompanied by their explosive beasts, set out on a journey in search of the legendary "Parts of God"! And so the "Legend of Jiguruhazel" has begun! In pursuit of the "God's Jiguruhazel," which is said to grant immense power, the young warriors, accompanied by the Jiguruhazel monsters, engage in a battle for the "God's Jiguruhazel"... ■Explanation"Bakujuu Goushin Jiguru Hazeru" is currently airing on Animax!
