Now she is scheduled for only five more crossings. Then a new ship, a posh, streamlined beauty, will take her place. It is then that the Claridon will pass into oblivion.

Professor Yamatone and his family visit present day Egypt, and discover an ancient tomb that apparently belonged to a "god of justice, (and) protector of the weak". When the Professor was later taken captive by "Gorgo", agent of the evil Dr. Erich Nazō (ナゾー) (also known as Dr Zero), the Professor's daughter Mari, pleaded for "the god of justice" to save her father. As she began to cry, her tears fell into the ancient tomb, reviving Ogon Bat, who came to her help. From then on, the little girl would always call on the Ogon Bat to fight against evil - usually in the form of Doctor Zero.
