In post-WWII Japan, Dr. Shikishima has built up Shikishima Industries to be a technological powerhouse, working on developing robots. However, at the heart of their success lurks a dark secret from the war, something that cost the life of Dr. Kaneda, Shikishima's mentor. Now Kaneda's son, Shoutarou, is about to learn the truth, and it will change him forever.

This reimagining swaps typical giant robot tropes for a grounded, post-war period piece heavy with corporate espionage and generational trauma. Instead of mindless battles, the spectacle emerges from the friction between technological progress and the heavy shadows of Japan's recent history.
