Himi, known alternately as Kyo-O or the Lord of Chaos, stands at the heart of a fractured world. Her premature birth, fulfilling a prophecy designating her as the Chōjin’s destined adversary, shatters the fragile equilibrium of a post-apocalyptic realm. Found as an infant by marauder Buju, her arrival catalyzes his metamorphosis from violent pillager to devoted protector.
Wielding dual-edged gifts—resurrecting the dead and afflicting the wicked with violent madness—she embodies both ruin and salvation. Her significance draws the ambitions of warring powers: Caesar, Tokyo’s tyrannical sovereign, and Münchhausen II, who covets her as a weapon for global conquest. Intertwined with their clash is Caesar’s strained bond with his android daughter Alector, whose alliance with Buju and Himi sparks charged confrontations between familial duty and hunger for dominance.
A pure-hearted makemono named Idaten develops unrequited feelings for Himi, though their potential remains uncharted. The saga culminates with Himi surviving as a living harbinger of change, her presence kindling fragile hope. Joined by surviving allies, she embarks on a symbolic pilgrimage to Osaka to challenge the Chōjin’s lingering shadow, cementing her role as a catalyst for moral transformation and a precarious world’s uncertain future.
