Probably nothing. It is after all essentially an anime setting. Why are the only heroes who can pilot these things and save the world a multinational group of teenagers attending a stereotypical Japanese high school? Because they are. There's no real need to go into much depth, most of these settings don't have anything beyond a sort of vague "World Government" that sends the heroes suggestions (well they say they're orders, but since when do heroes ever actually treat orders as more than suggestions) about what to do next.

Bonus points if said "World Government" is composed entirely of slightly older people from the same high schools as, and with skill sets similar to, the heroes.
But for some reason they can't be the ones operating the world saving McGuffins because, um, reasons.
