Story

Long, long ago, in the distant past… or was it in the far-off future?

The mighty empire of Yamato exists at peace under the rule of its god incarnate the Mikado.

Oshtor, Mikazuchi, Munechika, and Shunya are celebrated as heroes for driving back an invasion from the ancient land of Arva Shulan.

Troubling times have returned for the country. Monsters are appearing everywhere, and seemingly separate events are starting to connect, pointing to a larger threat. Former allies are now working together to figure out how to react.

Their adventure starts with an uncertain future, one spoken of only in old stories. Somewhere, a hidden beginning remains shrouded in mystery, but a period of peace is about to be broken.

Characters

  • Oshtor (voiced by Kentaro Tone) – A warrior from the frontier province of Ennakamuy. Following the events of Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, he has been anointed as the Imperial General of the Right, one of the Twin Shields of Yamato. He wears the mask that he inherited from his fallen master Dikotoma.
  • Shunya (voiced by Yuko Minaguchi) – A girl from distant Arva Shulan, the land at the ends of the earth. She traveled with Oshtor and his allies in their adventures but is currently recuperating in the mountains of Ennakamuy.
  • Munechika (voiced by Saori Hayami) – The daughter of Murasame, viceroy of Izumo. As demure and polite as she appears, Munechika’s ladylike affectations barely conceal a burgeoning warrior’s spirit.
  • Mikazuchi (voiced by Yuya Uchida) – A man hailing from Ashiwara, the City of Squalls. Following the events of Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten, has been anointed as the Imperial General of the Left, one of the Twin Shields of Yamato.
