Plot[edit]
Inuyashiki Ichiro is an elderly, friendless man with an uncaring family. One fateful evening, he is
struck by a mysterious explosion in a public park, which is of extraterrestrial origin, and his body
is replaced by an incredibly powerful, but still outwardly human, mechanical body. He quickly
realizes the extent of his body's powers, and after saving a homeless man being beaten by a
pack of teenagers, he decides to dedicate himself to doing good, using his powers to heal those
with incurable diseases and fight crime.
However, a teenager who was with him at the time of the explosion, Shishigami Hiro, had the
same fate as Ichiro, but unlike Inuyashiki, Shishigami becomes a psychopath who goes about
using his new found abilities to murder people, from classmates that annoy him to innocent
families, including young children, just for amusement. His acts of merciless cruelty brings him
the attention of the police, who can do nothing to stop him, even as it does not take long for Hiro
to become the most wanted and dangerous criminal in the country. The series then keeps
following these two different individuals who once shared the same, bizarre experience, as their
paths are destined to clash, and in the end, their ultimate fates.
