Kenji wrote "The Book of Prophecy" in his boyhood. Now this childish fantasy has become the scenario for the Friend's fiendish plot to destroy mankind. Kenji goes underground and waits for a chance to fight back.

The giant robot has already been built and now awaits the Great Awakening... With the Friend's identity still a mystery, the countdown to the apocalypse continues, day by day, minute by minute - for on December 31, 2000, humanity will meet its final hour.

Fourteen years after "Bloody New Year's Eve" brought the world to the brink of extinction, Neo Tokyo in the year 2014 has fully recovered and become a thriving, multi-ethnic metropolis. Kanna has survived the chaos and is now 17 years old - and has just stumbled upon a terrible truth that may change her destiny.

Out in the middle of Tokyo Bay, a man called Shogun is trying to break out of Umihotaru Prison, a maximum-security island fortress, so he can save the world. Accompanied by a frightened young manga artist, these two men are prepared to risk everything as their daring escape plan grows deadlier by the minute. However, the prison authorities will do whatever it takes to return Shogun and his reluctant companion to custody.

Kenji, Otcho and Maruo have just driven their dynamite-loaded truck under the robot... where they see what a poor relation to the giant robot they dreamed up in their childhoods it actually is: just two legs with caterpillar treads, held together by an enormous hot air balloon, with cloth hanging down to disguise the underside.

Yakumo was an ordinary high-school student in Tokyo when he met an immortal girl named Pai, whose quest for humanity led them on a great adventure that has become a modern legend! Yakumo returns to Japan believing that he can resume his old life as a high-school student, ignoring Pai's warning that to do so will subject everyone he knows to the evils of hell itself!

Pai and Yakumo discover the existence of a statue that may help end their quest, but to obtain it they'll have to take on the dwellers in the dark, who need the statue to revive a dread demonic lord and bring about an inhuman kingdom of immortal evil!

Yakumo has been searching for Pai, the girl he loves, for years. When he finally finds her, she's in big trouble! Pai has forgotten all about her inhuman heritage and mystical powers, and an evil group of supernatural Puppet People are on the hunt for her! Can Yakumo use his new special attack moves to rescue Pai and restore her memories? Or will she run from him - and the truth - as well?

Pai's supernatural powers have returned, but not her memories. She discovers that her Sanjiyan, the monstrous source of her power, is on the loose and can only be controlled within her by the Claw of Shiva, a sorcerous artifact that the memory-challenged Pai just happens to have bagged and tossed into the trash!

Both the dashing relic-hunter Jake McDonald and the nefarious Choukai, are trying to get their mitts on a certain mystic incense burner. And when Choukai traps Pai within a sorcerous binding circle, Yakumo is torn by the fateful decision of whether or not to pay the artifact as ransom to free Pai and by doing so, dooming Pai's memories and his own chance of returning to his mortal existence.

Pai, the beautiful 300-year-old amnesiac mystic, and her companion-cum-immortal slave, Tokyo student Yakumo Fujii, may have found the clues they seek to help them discover the secrets of the Sacred Land. Joined by the dashing relic-hunter, Jake MacDonald, Yakumo and Pai discover an ancient temple that may hold the key to returning Pai and Yakumo to their human forms.

The return to Kunlun turns out not to be the heartfelt reunion Pai had hoped for, but could instead reveal her incredible journey to be only a ruse that could well release the evil Kaiyan Wang from imprisonment in the Sacred Land!
