Aquarion
Plot Summary

Thousands of years in the past, a powerful race of mythical beings ruled over the humans. They were dubbed as the Shadow Angels; they had powers that enable them to gather the life force of mankind. Because of an unexplained event that took place, these beings laid asleep for 12,000 years.

Unfortunately, a huge catastrophe, also known as the Holy Genesis, happened and it led to the Shadow Angels’ awakening in their city of Atlantdia. For a span of 11 years after this catastrophe, these powerful beings had continued to lay waste on mankind. They started to invade human cities again to gather life force, not just for them, but also for feeding their legendary Tree of Life.

For humanity to have a fighting chance, authorities approved the use of the robotic weapon called Aquarion, along with this, the DEAVA organization was formed. For the Aquarion to function, a pilot of three must synchronize their bodies, hearts, and souls into one – something only a number of people can accomplish. These types of people were dubbed as “Element Users” and the search for them was the world’s first priority.
