Story

The great war that had engulfed the world was finally coming to an end. However, there was no glimmer of hope to be seen on the faces of the people who survived the rough seas of the war... For the end of the world war was not, in other words, the path to peace, but at the hands of one - who had acquired great power - an insane scientist....!?

"King Crimson"

Called a genius scientist, his research began to take a distorted direction at some point, and eventually, using his own body as a test bench, he advanced into a realm that he should never step into as a human being. As a result, he gained unimaginable power in exchange for his own body, and at the same time, he acquired the ability to manipulate people's minds at will, a terrifying thing called tele-learning! - So he began plotting to rule the world!

The terrifying slaughter group he controls, which came to be known as the Crimson Legion, began its secret maneuvers with the momentum to conquer the world. One day, Dr. Yen, a world-famous scientist, was attacked by the Crimson Corps, and the doctor and his family were kidnapped. Dr. Yen's research - for a mad scientist who was forced to live outside the atmosphere because he was unable to adapt to life on earth as he continued to modify his body, it was the most important thing. It was research into the effects of tetroxine that he wanted to obtain.

On the other hand, in the city that had been devastated by the Crimson Legion, people began to take up arms and rebel for their freedom. Called the "Tokyo Resistance", they fought bravely against the Crimson Legion. However, their desperate resistance was in vain, and their companions fell one after another, and their weapons began to run out...

Just as everyone threw themselves into the depths of despair and began to look up at the sky, there was a young man who bravely stood up from the rubble! The man was the son of Dr. Yen, Daichi, who was being held captive by King Crimson! Angered by the fact that his relatives were kidnapped, he carries a weapon...

"Father, mother, sisters! Stay alive!!"

With a roar that cuts through the dark night, the man begins his march towards the final battle!
