A high-energy supernatural action anime about a martial artist drawn into a cross-national conspiracy through a mysterious tattoo that grants reality-warping powers.

The story follows Justice Akazuka (a.k.a. Seigi), a young man who is good at martial arts. One day, Seigi rescues a homeless old man from some thugs, and the man gives him an object that imprints a tattoo on his palm. However, it is not an ordinary tattoo, but a special weapon that gives Seigi supernatural powers such as warping space-time. Seigi then meets a female American agent named Izzie, whose duty is to recover the tattoos. He decides to help her and gets wrapped up in a cross-national conspiracy.
