| Wallpaper Description: |
Set several years after "The Great Uprising", a future geological phenomenon near Tokyo, people have developed a power granting them the ability to deconstruct, reshape, and crystalize matter at a molecular level using only thought and willpower. These people have come to be known as "Alter" users, and with only 1% of the newborn generations receiving such special power (though later in the series it is stated that the number has increased to 5% and steadily continuing to rise), some feel a superiority over normal humans.
There are two opposing forces of alters: the Native Alters, a group of Alter users who live outside the central city and avoid any relationships with the government; and HOLY, an organization of Alter users that are a subgroup of an organization called HOLD. HOLD functions as the Mainland government's super police force of the Lost Ground, while HOLY, composed exclusively of Alter users, serves as the 'special operations' group, aiding HOLD in performing dangerous missions that might require the help of an Alter user.
Kazuma (dubbed "The Treasoner" in the manga and "The Shell Bullet" in the anime) and Ryuhou are the two Scryed characters bearing a rivalry used to drive and focus the plot. They spend much of the series trying to defeat each other, even when they are forced to work together. Neither can forget their bitter rivalry.
There is also a narrator, Kanami. Kanami is a friend of Kazuma's whom Kazuma protects. She narrates the series with her dreams, unknowingly using her alter power to 'scry' the emotions of the people she feels closely about. Her ability to peer into the emotions of the main characters is used frequently through-out the series to bring insight to the characters, and to tease viewers during previews for the next episode.
The series progresses through the initial introduction of the Alter power to a wider reaching understanding of the politics and reason for "The Great Uprising". Each episode showcases a new Alter user, and their Alter, or a growth of the Alter of a previously introduced character. "The Great Uprising" is later revealed to be caused by a similar event in a parallel universe where all creatures are independent thinking Alters. During one of Ryuhou and Kazuma's battles, they open a gateway to the parallel universe, causing another uprising and attracting the attention of the Mainland government. The Mainland sends its agent, Kyouji Mujo, to the Lost Ground in an attempt to exploit the power of the parallel universe for economic gain. Mujo develops delusions of grandeur after becoming the defacto head of the Lost Ground government and absorbing the crystal entity from "the other side" to add to his already formidable Alter power. Both he and the crystal entity are defeated by the separate efforts of Kazuma and Ryuhou, respectively. The Mainland once again attempts to exert control over the Lost Ground by sending in a fleet of refined Alter users under their control, but they are defeated by Kazuma and Ryuhou.
After defeating the Mainland forces, Kazuma and Ryuhou engage in one final battle to settle their rivalry. After exhausting themselves to the point that they are too weak to maintain their Alters (and indeed, barely able to stand up), the fight on with their bare hands. In the final scene, a silhouetted fist is raised by the victor, Kazuma.
The concept of an "Alter" bears a striking resemblance to the "stands" present in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure; both are manifestations of some personal energy that give the user extraordinary abilities and manifest as a variety of objects, and each individual has a different power that they draw upon their abilities to bestow upon them. While the stands in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure often take the form of a human or humanoid entity (this is not always the case, as with Hol Horse of part 3 whose stand is a gun), Alters rarely resemble human beings; the most notable exceptions being Sou Kigetsuki's three female Alter creations (which are just pieces of his real Alter), Ryuhou's Zetsuei, and The Crystal, which bears quite a striking resemblance in appearance to the hero of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure's third series Stardust Crusaders, Jotaro Kujo's "Star Platinum".
