Synopsis:

In a land ruled by tyranny, the Ken Empire suffers under the iron fist of Shogun Keiro. Driven by an obsessive quest for a legendary sword, Keiro’s relentless campaign leaves devastation in its wake. Taito, a young man unknowingly reborn from a celestial being, emerges as the empire's unlikely champion. Haunted by visions of past atrocities, Taito strives to harness his immense power to challenge the Shogun and bring justice to the oppressed.

The series explores themes of responsibility, control, and the burden of extraordinary abilities. As Taito navigates a world steeped in political corruption and ancient mysticism, he seeks mentorship from other individuals touched by celestial power – warriors who must learn to wield their strength with discipline. Taito's journey is not simply about defeating a villain; it’s a personal struggle to master his potential before it consumes him.
