Synopsis:

Yuuta Hibiki awakens in unfamiliar surroundings with complete amnesia, his disorientation compounded by a disembodied voice guiding him toward a strange reality. He discovers a hidden world of colossal entities emerging from a pervasive fog, a phenomenon invisible and inaudible to those around him. Aided by a sentient robot named Gridman, Yuuta finds himself thrust into a desperate struggle for survival. He joins forces with Rikka Takarada and Shou Utsumi, forming the Gridman Alliance to combat these mysterious threats. The series explores themes of identity, perception, and the burden of responsibility as the group investigates the source of the monsters and seeks answers within a world rapidly succumbing to chaos. The narrative emphasizes collaborative problem-solving amidst escalating danger, offering a character-driven exploration of courage and connection in the face of the unknown.
