An animated adaptation of the short-lived manga series "Triton of the Sea" (1969-1971) by Osamu Tezuka. The series begins with a conflict among two rival clans. The Triton clan claimed control over Atlantis, but they were mostly wiped out in an extermination campaign by the Poseidon clan. The white dolphin Ruka managed to save a single boy from the massacre, transporting the boy to the coastal caves of Japan. The boy called "Triton" was raised by the foster father Kazuya Yasaki. The clan leader called "Poseidon" used a tsunami to destroy Kazuya's village, but failed to kill Triton. As a teenager, Triton returns to the sea and starts a revenge campaign against Poseidon and his family. He faces and kills every one of Poseidon's children in combat. Meanwhile Triton meets Pipiko, the last surviving mermaid, and falls for her. After concluding a truce with Poseidon (due to their conflict with a common foe), Triton marries Pipiko and has several children with her.
