The one shall stand on a golden field clothed by a blue cloak... Shall unite the lost world with us once again... And shall bring peace and prosperity once and for all.

The war called the Seven Days of Fire ended the industrial age 1000 years ago. Now a forest that gives off deadly gas, the Decayed Sea, rules the world. In this world, without a mask your lungs will deteriorate in 5 minutes. The gigantic insects rule the forest. If the humans try to burn the forest or kill one insect, the king of the forest, Ohmu, will attack the cities.

 

A princess of the Valley of the Wind, Nausicaa, governs in place of her ill father. One night, a Tormekian ship crashes in the valley. Nausicaa saves a prisoner of the ship, Rasuteru, the princess of Pejite. Rasuteru asks to burn all the cargo in the ship and dies.


The crashed ship of Tormekia held the egg of the giant that caused the Seven Days of Fire. The day after the crash, the royals of Tormekia comes to reclaim their position, kills Nausicaa's father, and takes over the Valley of the Wind. The ruler, Kushana, decides to take Nausicaa back to Tormekia with her. On the way back to Tormekia they are attacked by Pejite's gunship. All of Tormekia's ships crash into the Decayed Sea and Nausicaa, Kushana and some others escape on a spare gunship. Nausicaa departs alone on her mehve, her personal glider, to save Pejite's gunship that also crashed in the Decayed Sea.

 

Nausicaa saves the boy who was riding Pejite's gunship. His name was Asuberu, Rasuteru's brother. They encounter upon quicksand at the bottom of the Decayed Sea where the air is clean. There they find out the truth about the Decayed Sea. The Decayed Sea was born to clean the human world and the insects were born to protect the forest. After the trees took in the pollution from the soil they turned it into sand and fell to the bottom of the forest. In the Valley of the Wind, the giant was starting to take its shape. The Pejite people during the absence of their prince were planning to destroy the Valley of the Wind before the giant completely awoke from its sleep. They planned to make the insects destroy the city. Nausicaa who tries to warn her people is captured in Pejite's dungeon. Rasuteru's twin sister decides to change places with Nausicaa in the dungeon so Nausicaa can go warn her people. Nausicaa was about to fly out of Pejite's ship when a Tormekian ship invades them.
Yupa, Nausicaa's teacher, comes to help Pejite's ship from danger and Mito, a friend of Nausicaa's, takes Nausicaa back to the Valley of the Wind on his gunship. The armies of Ohmu have already started to charge towards the valley. A small Pejite ship was luring them with an Ohmu's baby. Nausicaa tries to stop them and the small ship crashes to the ground. Although the baby Ohmu is safely on the ground, the armies of Ohmu continues to charge against the valley. Kushana who had safely come back to the valley decides to use the giant. The giant was not completely ready yet and instantly collapses into slush. Nausicaa orders the pilots of the small ship to transport her and the baby in front of the charging Ohmus. The Ohmus run over the baby and Nausicaa, but stops before they reach the valley. Nausicaa and the baby have miraculously not lost their lives and the people of the valley praise with joy to see their princess once again.
