Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King

Tokyo was suddenly assaulted by the Great Collapse, causing everyone in the city to fall into a coma and enveloping Tokyo in a red mist. Five months later, univeristy student Kamina Chihiro awakens, and curtains rise on the fierce Vermillion legend!

The man who was like a father to the solitary Chihiro transforms into a giant troll before his eyes. When Chihiro is struck by the creature's blade, his eyes glow a deep red and something begins to awaken inside him!

Only the chosen warriors known as Vessels of Heroic Blood are able to turn their own blood into weapons. First Chihiro, then his friend Kotetsu awaken as Vessels of Heroic Blood. But who keeps transforming innocent people into monsters?!

Chihiro and his friends are bewildered by Dux's unexpected words. Believing he's destined to destroy everything in his life, Chihiro ignores the warnings of his friends and uses his immense power against Tokyo!

Chihiro can't stop thinking about what Yuri said to him. Does it have something to do with the lost memories of his childhood? The past Kakihara describes to Chihiro is a heartbreaking tragedy.

As a mysterious series of murders occur in Tokyo, Inuki goes missing. Chihiro desperately searches for Inuki, until Yuri appears before him. Meanwhile, Inuki continues to plunge towards destruction.

Chihiro and his friends are shaken by Inuki's death, but have no time to grieve as the agents of Chaos continue their mission to exterminate the Heroic Lineage.

Hoping to resist fate and save his friends, Chihiro decides to work with Yuri and asks Marie, Tsubaki, and the Guardian State to fight with him. Rather than destroying Tokyo, he now wants everyone to work together so the Heroic Lineage survives.

Chihiro is betrayed by Yuri and deserted by the Guardian State. No matter how much he fights them, his prophetic dreams of despair keep coming true. Despite this, he continues to desperately struggle to change fate.

The AVAL Science Foundation has been attempting to cause a Second Great Collapse by installing artificial keystones throughout the city! At this rate, everyone in Tokyo will be transformed into monsters, and the city will become a hellscape!

Friend and foe alike are slain by the end of a bloody battle. All they leave behind are the blood crystals that serve as their grave markers... However, the survivors must continue to fight for the fate of the world.

As Chihiro and his allies head to the location of their final confrontation in order to end it all, a terrifying enemy blocks their path! How will the story of the couple that has continually resisted fate end?
