Synopsis:

In a nation burdened by corruption and inequality, a clandestine group known as Night Raid fights to dismantle a tyrannical government. Composed of skilled individuals dedicated to revolution, they operate as assassins, targeting those who perpetuate the suffering of the populace. The narrative follows Tatsumi, a young traveler who joins their ranks with idealistic intentions. He navigates a morally complex world where the pursuit of justice necessitates difficult choices and the elimination of powerful adversaries.

The series explores themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the blurred lines between right and wrong when fighting for a greater cause. As Tatsumi confronts formidable opponents and witnesses firsthand the consequences of his actions, he grapples with his own values and the true cost of revolution. Set against a backdrop of political intrigue and deadly combat, the anime offers a grounded examination of rebellion and the human cost of striving for a better future.
