The anime follows Apollo, a young man haunted by a troubled past and rumored to be the reincarnation of a forgotten hero. Driven by personal loss, Apollo strives to master the demanding process of piloting the Aquarion alongside two other individuals, forging a crucial connection to unleash its full potential. The series explores themes of destiny, sacrifice, and the bonds forged in the face of overwhelming adversity as humanity fights for survival against a relentless, otherworldly foe.
