Plot

In the heart of Tokyo, Inuyashiki Ichirou leads a life steeped in cruel misfortune. Aged only 58 but bearing the weight of a man in his seventies, Ichirou's existence is a bitter blend of monotony and heartache. His toil to provide for his family is met with cold indifference, his sacrifices just seen as a financial obligation. His only companion in this cruel world is his loyal dog, the sole creature that offers him unconditional love. The weight of his life grows heavier when an incurable cancer diagnosis strikes, pushing him further into the abyss of despair. As he prepares to share his grim prognosis with his unfeeling family, Ichirou finds himself alone in his sorrow. He seeks solace in a heartfelt conversation with his canine friend, the only empathetic ear in his life. During this poignant moment, a mysterious figure emerges from the shadows. A blinding celestial light from the night sky descends upon the pair, altering Ichirou's life in unimaginable ways. Emerging from the cosmic event, Ichirou discovers his disease has vanished, and his body transformed. He now possesses powers that could either save humanity or bring about its destruction. This newfound ability gives Ichirou a chance to redefine himself, to step out of the shadows of obscurity and rise as a hero. The world that once dismissed him as a decrepit old man could now look upon him in awe. But as Ichirou embraces his destiny, he must grapple with the reality that he may not be the only one gifted - or cursed - by the cosmic phenomenon. Balancing the scales of good and evil, Inuyashiki Ichirou must decide what kind of hero he wants to be.
