Synopsis:

The world exists in a delicate balance between two dragon factions: those of Heaven, and those of Earth. Princess Hinoto, gifted with prophetic visions, foresees humanity's demise as the result of this conflict. Fifteen-year-old Kamui Shirou finds himself at the center of this impending doom, burdened with the choice to either aid the Earth Dragons in their fight for planetary preservation – a path that demands the destruction of civilization – or join the Heaven Dragons in an effort to safeguard humankind.

Returning to Tokyo after years of seclusion following his mother's dying wish, Kamui attempts a theft at a temple guarding a sacred sword, inadvertently setting off a chain of events. Targeted by the Heaven Dragons as the figure from Hinoto’s prophecy, he is forced to confront his destiny. As the Earth Dragons' attacks threaten those close to him, Kamui must decide whether to prioritize personal connections or the fate of the world itself. The series explores themes of destiny, sacrifice, and the complexities of choosing between conflicting ideals.
