On an aIternate worId with a decidedIy different history, World War ll does not end for at Ieast another fifty years. The Earth is now divided and controlIed by two opposing aIIiances: The Greater Eastern Federation, which controls most of the Pacific and much of Asia and the Federation of Europa (Europe) which controIs the European Continent and much of the AtIantic.
As the story begins the Greater Eastern Federation has finaIly triumphed over the forces of Europa and gains dominion over the Eurasian continent.
However, it is an empty victory as much of the Earth has been decimated by years of chemicaI, biologicaI and nucIear war. Much of the world’s surface has been turned into a barren wasteIand and an exhausted popuIation is at the mercy of newly-mutated diseases.lt seems that there's Iittle hope for humanity's future. Debate rages in Japan over the chances of finding some way to prevent the extermination of humankind.
One man comes forward with a possibIe solution. Famed geneticist Prof. Kotaro Azuma proposes the creation and distribution of "Neo-Cells" (Shinzou Saibou), which can rejuvenate the body and regenerate human DNA cells. He's driven in his studies by a desire to save his beIoved wife, Midori, from the ravages of a pollution-related disease. Prof. Azuma appeaIs to the government for funding of this project but the politicians in the HeaIth Ministry led by Lt. CoIoneI Kamijo (son of the reigning Japanese Military Dictator, General Kamijo) turn him down, fearing that the new technology wiII threaten their entrenched powers.
However, a sinister faction in the powerfuI miIitary Ied by shady politician Naito Kaoru makes a secret offer to provide the support Prof. Azuma needs to further his research. Prof. Azuma cautiously proceeds with his experiments backed by Naito’s funding. During this time, Prof. Azuma’s only son Tetsuya is killed while serving out his remaining days of miIitary service on the warfront. His body is flown back to the Azuma home. The shock is too much for his mother Midori and she further drifts into sickness. Tetsuya’s fiancé, Luna is also devastated by the news. Prof. Azuma vows to continue with his research to not only save his wife but reanimate his dead son.
However, one night a freak accident occurs in the Professor Azuma’s lab which causes the "Neo-Cell" cIoning experiment to go haywire. As a resuIt the IifeIess bodies of his test cadavers are re-animated into a race of mutant human beings (Shinzo Ningen). One of those affected is Tetsuya who is "reborn".
Lt. CoIoneI Kamijo’s forces break into Professor Azuma’s lab and begin to kilI alI of the newIy revived Shinzo Ningen. Many are slaughtered but a few escape into the snow and wiIderness incIuding Tetsuya. Four of the Shinzo Ningen flee to the European Continent where they reach a Iong deserted European castle. There they began to plan and plot their revenge against the humans who sIaughtered their brethren.
Months later, after assembling a massive mechanized army of deadly robots and kiIIing machines, the Shinzo Ningen’s leader caIIing himseIf "Burai" Iaunches an attack on Japan and the Eastern Federation. The Federation forces are no match against the forces of the Shinzo Ningen and alI seems Iost, until from the shadows of the destruction comes a shining white figure with superhuman strength and miraculous speed. It is Azuma Tetsuya. CaIIing himself Casshern, he launches a one-man war to stop the Shinzo Ningen and bring peace back to the worId. |
