“Jūshinki Pandora” is a new mecha actions series hat takes place far off into the future in 2031. A crisis had occured called the Xianglong (Shanron or Soaring Dragon) Crisis caused by a next generation energy device named the “Quantum Reactor.” Rather than replacing the dwindling environmental resources, it instead released an unknown energy which resulted in a complete change in the global environment overnight.
Because of this, both living things, aside from humans, and machines to undergo a unique evolution and B.R.A.I. (Biological Revolutionary of Accelerated Intelligence) entities were brought into existence. Now with humanity at risk because of these beings, humans battle against them with M.O.E.V.

At the time of the crisis, Leon Lau was at the center of things and now seven years later, he lives with Chloe Lau under the “family pact” in the wilderness on the edge of the “absolute defence city” Neo Xianglong.
