Synopsis:
In a world ravaged by catastrophic environmental events, humanity clings to existence amidst widespread chaos. The narrative centers on Kakugo, a youth burdened with his father's legacy – exceptional combat prowess and advanced armored technology designed for protection. Tasked with restoring order within his community, Kakugo’s path becomes increasingly complicated by the actions of his own sister. She possesses comparable abilities and equipment, yet her approach to achieving peace is starkly different: a radical solution involving the elimination of humankind. The series explores themes of responsibility, familial conflict, and the blurred lines between protection and destruction in a post-apocalyptic landscape where survival demands difficult choices. It depicts a compelling dynamic as sibling rivalry escalates against the backdrop of a fractured world grappling with its future.
