In 2067 Japan isolates itself behind a strict veil, shutting its borders after the world imposes harsh limits on advanced robotics, creating a secretive nation where no one may enter or leave. By 2077 the barrier is broken when S.W.O.R.D., an independent force unaffiliated with the United States, sends agents inside to investigate rumors that Japan is developing prohibited robotic bio‑technology. Their covert mission sparks a clash of machine against man, threatening humanity itself.

Spoilers ahead
In the 2060s, robotics and cybernetics have advanced to a level that changes how people think about technology and control. Global opinions grow uneasy about autonomous machines, and in 2067 the United Nations issues a unilateral ban on further robotics research. Japan, home to the powerhouse Daiwa Heavy Industries, pushes back with strong protests but cannot overturn the ban, ultimately withdrawing from international politics. To safeguard its secrets, Daiwa drives a bold, cloaked program led by Toshiyuki Morikawa as Kisaragi, a figure whose research pushes the envelope even as the rest of the world looks away. E. network—270 offshore installations—casts a vast energy field over Japan, severing all external communications and making satellite surveillance nearly impossible.
