The premise

The year is 2022. It is an era of chaos, half a century after the government announced the coexistence of humans and kaijins. Aoi Izumi, a young human rights activist calling for the elimination of discrimination, meets a man named Kotaro Minami, the one called "Black Sun," who is a candidate for the next Creation King.

Horror Vault's take

Half a century after humanity was forced to acknowledge the existence of kaijin — monstrous beings born from secret experiments — an uneasy and deeply unequal coexistence has taken hold. When a passionate young activist fighting for kaijin rights crosses paths with the enigmatic super-powered warrior known as Black Sun, she is drawn into a conspiracy far older and darker than any protest movement. This grim tokusatsu reboot trades Saturday-morning spectacle for unflinching social allegory, interrogating what it truly means to be human. Loyalty, betrayal, and survival collide as hidden factions maneuver toward a reckoning that has been generations in the making.

Content: Violence, Human Experimentation, Body Horror, Themes Of Systemic Discrimination And Genocide
