One night, a monster comes out from a lake and starts attacking the childhood and born-in-the-same-day friends Takeshi Kido and Kentaro Shiratori. When the monster is about to kill both of them, a thing called Kopu calls and tells them that they are the chosen to protect the world from the Evil creature Goumon. Kopu gives a radar to Kentaro and Takeshi and the ability to transform into the powerful monster Barom One by joining their hands. Now both boys must destroy the monsters possessed by Goumon.

After being their bodies swapped, Excel and Hyatt from Excel Saga return to normal after Nabeshin's instructions to fusion themselves as a monster that is very similar to Barom One (even Excel says she wanted to be Takeshi).
