nihongo|"Babel II"|バビル２世|Babiru Ni-Sei is a 1971 manga series by Mitsuteru Yokoyama.

The series follows Koichi, a Japanese schoolboy who learns he is the reincarnation of the alien entity "Babel". As such, Koichi is entrusted with Babel's powers and joined by three protectors: Rodem, a shape-shifting black panther; Ropross, a Pteradactyl-like flying creature; and Poseidon, a giant robot that always rises from the depth of the ocean when summoned. The boy hero commands his new found powers and companions to defend the Earth.

Yokoyama's manga has been animated three times. In 1973, as a television series. In 1992, as an original video animation series. And in 2001, as a 13 episode television series.
