Synopsis:

In the aftermath of a mysterious Martian probe incident, Tokyo is beset by the emergence of enigmatic entities known as Ancients. These creatures, impervious to conventional weaponry, rapidly spread chaos globally, prompting widespread scientific concern and societal disruption. Humanity’s only defense lies in the MARS suit, a technologically advanced weapon requiring specific genetic compatibility. Takeru Hinata, a young man grappling with personal struggles, unexpectedly possesses this crucial DNA. Recruited by the AAST, a specialized police unit, he must master the MARS suit and confront the Ancients while navigating a complex web of conspiracy and self-discovery.
