Appleseed

Deunan Knute, a skilled soldier, struggles to survive in the aftermath of a brutal Global War. The vast majority of humanity has perished, leaving her among the last remnants of a once-thriving civilization.

During a heated skirmish, Deunan finds herself on the verge of defeat when she is unexpectedly saved by Hitomi, a Second Generation Bioroid. This encounter turns her life upside down, igniting a chain of events that will redefine her existence.

In a moment of desperation, Deunan captures Hitomi while attempting to flee. However, her escape takes an unexpected turn when she is confronted by Briareos Hecatonchires, her former lover, who has undergone a transformation into a cyborg.

Deunan discovers she has been brought to Olympus, a city that claims to be a utopia for both humans and Bioroids. As she learns more about her current situation, the realities of this new world challenge her perceptions of survival and humanity.

Accepting her new reality, Deunan becomes a member of the elite ESWAT organization. Through her training and missions, she uncovers alarming truths about the Bioroids' engineered lifespans and their grim future.

A devastating terrorist attack orchestrated by a rogue faction of the Regular Army results in the destruction of life-extension facilities critical to the survival of the Bioroids. This incident triggers a tense atmosphere in Olympus, further complicating Deunan's mission.

Amid rising tensions, Deunan and Briareos embark on a dangerous mission to locate the Appleseed data, which is believed to hold the key to restoring Bioroid reproductive capabilities. Their journey leads them to the site where the Bioroids were initially developed.

While they are close to uncovering the necessary data, disaster strikes when Dr. Gilliam Knute, the Bioroids' creator and Deunan’s father, is fatally shot by a soldier. This betrayal sends ripples of chaos through their already precarious mission.

Colonel Hades unveils a conspiring plan suggesting that the Bioroids aim to dominate humanity, igniting a fierce debate between Deunan and General Uranus. Briareos reveals that the Elders had crafted the D-Tank's deadly virus to keep Bioroids in check, complicating the moral landscape further.

After a narrow escape from the Regular Army, Deunan and Briareos find themselves on the shores with their destinies hanging in the balance. Here, Briareos reveals his vulnerabilities and urges Deunan to push forward despite the darkness surrounding them.

Yoshitsune Miyamoto, a skilled mechanic, arrives in his Landmate to assist in repairing Briareos. Deunan's return to Olympus is marked by her success in utilizing the Appleseed data, reviving hope for the Bioroids by restoring their reproductive capabilities.

Seething with anger, Deunan confronts the Council of Elders, demanding accountability for her mother's death. The Elders shock her with their revelation to systematically eliminate all humans, aiming to establish Bioroid dominance over Earth.

As tensions spiral, the Elders activate the city’s defenses, leading to a fierce showdown with ESWAT. With significant losses on both sides, Deunan faces a critical moment where she must enter a password to disarm deadly defenses, with the fate of many at stake.

After dealing with various malfunctions during the final confrontation, Deunan successfully secures the D-Tank filled with harmful virus material. This pivotal moment symbolizes both a hard-won victory and a sign of the continuing struggle ahead.

In the aftermath, Deunan reflects on humanity’s flaws and the uncertain future they face. She is determined to fight for the next generation, whom she believes are the true new race of man, holding onto hope despite the challenges that lie ahead.
