content
Japan in 2039. Ten years after the outbreak of a deadly virus Japan is still under the occupation of the organization GHQ , which was an international organization as a first aid on the spot to clean up the mess of Christmas 2029 and the incident as Lost Christmas to note. After all these years the epidemic is narrowed and society would be on the way to normalcy, were it not for the resistance that is rising within the population against GHQ, which governs ruthlessly and despotic. The organization has occupied Japan since Lost Christmas, which a rebel group called Undertaker under the leadership of Gai Tsutsugami ( 恙 神 涯 ) wants to change.
One day, 17-year-old Shū Ouma ( 桜 満 集 ) meets the girl Inori Yuzuhira ( 楪 い の り ), who is not only the singer of a well-known band, but also a member of the Undertaker group. Inori is seriously injured after a mission on behalf of the Undertaker and is pursued by units of the GHQ who are looking for a substance (void genome) that Inori had previously stolen and was supposed to bring to Gai Tsutsugami. Shu takes the Void genome, but instead of leaving as he was told, he sees Inori in danger and wants to save her. The container bursts and the substance is released. Through contact with the Void genome, Shu receives the power of kings and is now able to manifest the individual personality of a person into a weapon. As a not entirely voluntary participant, Shu joins the resistance and has to bring his newfound strength under control.

reception
According to the German magazine Animania , the anime was obviously staged according to the recipe of the previously successful Code Geass , the idea of a foreign occupation of Japan, the resistance movement against it and the relationships between the characters were based on the model. In addition, there is a processing of the situation in Japan after the earthquake and the nuclear reactor disaster of 2011 , because of which foreign aid was used. In doing so, however, "the feeling of unwanted dependency [...] is inflated into political foreign determination". Some may see the series as a “simple copy” of Code Geass, while others may see it as an original work. The animations were successful with a change between the classic cel look and impressive computer animations, plus chic and fan service- friendly character designs and matching music.
