Aquarion

Synopsis

In ancient times, a race known as the Shadow Angels invaded Earth with the intent of draining its inhabitants' life force. By a miraculous turn of events, the Shadow Angels entered a dormant state, granting humanity 12,000 years of respite. But following the cataclysmic event known as the Holy Genesis, which wreaked havoc on the planet eleven years prior, these beings reawakened and resumed their attacks. DEAVA, a newly formed organization, created a powerful robotic weapon called Aquarion to defend against this threat. To harness Aquarion’s full power, three pilots must synchronize their hearts, minds, and spirits, a task only a select few can accomplish. The hunt for these individuals, referred to as 'Element Users', became crucial for securing humanity’s future. The narrative of Sousei no Aquarion centers around Apollo, a wild and impoverished young man who is thought to be the reincarnation of a legendary hero. After losing his closest friend to the Shadow Angels, Apollo resolves to become an Aquarion pilot. Will he be able to alter the course of the conflict and liberate humanity from the Shadow Angels’ looming danger?
