Synopsis

Kouta and Mai encountered a young man adrift in a sea of self-loss; he recalled nothing of his past save for the name Jiro. As a rainstorm intensified, Kouta attempted to shield Jiro from the downpour, but a chilling realization struck him: the young man’s hand felt strangely metallic, prompting a disquieting question – was Jiro a machine? Meanwhile, Ryoma studied the blueprints of an android, a project undertaken by a colleague. The model was designated Hakaider.
