Sousei no Aquarion

Twelve thousand years ago, the Shadow Angels attacked humanity and harvested human life force before falling into a long sleep. After a catastrophe devastates much of the world, they awaken and begin hunting people again. DEAVA’s only real answer is Aquarion, a giant machine that reaches full power only when the hearts, bodies, and souls of three gifted pilots known as Elements unite.

Apollo, a feral boy raised among street children and believed to carry the soul of the legendary Apollonius, is drawn into DEAVA alongside Silvia, Sirius, and the other trainees. Piloting Aquarion demands more than combat skill, forcing its pilots to merge emotions, desires, and memories. As an ancient war resumes, secrets of love and betrayal born thousands of years earlier begin shaping the people fighting in the present.
