Synopsis:

Set against a backdrop reminiscent of feudal Japan, this series follows a group of individuals who wield unique, miniature Gundam-like machines. They operate within the decaying grandeur of Jaburo City, a place haunted by lingering shadows and forgotten conflicts. The narrative centers on their efforts to combat malevolent entities and unravel a sinister scheme originating from the city's ruins.

The story explores themes of legacy and responsibility as these pilots grapple with the burden of their powers and the history embedded within their machines. It blends action sequences with introspective moments, examining the characters’ personal struggles alongside the larger conflict threatening to consume them. The atmosphere is one of quiet determination amidst decay, suggesting a focus on character-driven narratives rather than grand spectacle.
