Synopsis
Continues the story of Fafner
In a remote area of the Japanese archipelago, Tatsumiyajima serves as the primary hub for a group of islands. The inhabitants enjoy calm lives, with youth attending school free from worry. Yet this peace masks a deeper reality. Humanity's survival hangs in the balance, and Tatsumiyajima stands as the final barrier against a strange, unknowable threat. At the heart of this conflict lies the colossal mecha Fafner, a dragon-shaped guardian charged with protecting the last remnants of humanity.
In this installment
It is now 2148, two years after the events of the Fafner in the Azure TV series. Tatsumiya Island and its survivors have begun to recover, but protagonist Kazuki is in a critical state—nearly blind and partially disabled from his past battles against the Festum. He clings to the promise his deceased friend Soushi made to return to the island and set things right. Kazuki’s spirits lift when a life form is detected inside an unmanned submarine that drifts into Tatsumiya Bay one evening. However, the individual aboard is not Soushi; instead, it is a cryptic boy named Misao Kurusu, who claims he might not be fully human and says Soushi sent him. Misao’s appearance sparks renewed hostilities between the Human Army and the Festum, forcing the Fafner pilots into their most perilous battle yet, with the fate of two species hanging in the balance.
