Psychic Wars

In the bustling corridors of an Osaka hospital, the methodical world of modern medicine collides with the uncanny. Ukyo Retsu is a brilliant, steady‑hand surgeon whose reputation rests on the precision of his scalpel and the certainty of diagnoses. One night an elderly woman, steeped in an unsettling mystique, pleads for the removal of a massive growth that doctors have labeled cancer. The operation that follows shatters the comfortable boundaries of his practice, ushering him into a realm where ancient myth silently watches the fluorescent lights.

When the tissue he extracts proves not to be a disease but a relic of a 5,000‑year‑old demon, Ukyo is thrust into a reluctant role as humanity’s guardian. The creature’s lingering presence gifts him with extraordinary physical abilities—strength, speed, and durability that defy his scientific understanding. This sudden empowerment forces him to reevaluate the limits of his expertise, blurring the line between healer and protector as he grapples with a responsibility that feels both alien and inevitable.

Alongside him is Fuyuko Asahina, his steadfast partner whose compassion and insight complement his newfound power. Their bond, forged in the controlled chaos of the operating theatre, becomes a compass as they navigate a world where empirical evidence and prophetic whispers intersect. Together they embody the tension between rational inquiry and the inexorable pull of destiny, suggesting that love and duty may be as vital to the battle as any physical strength.

The film’s tone weaves a quiet, atmospheric tension through the neon‑lit streets of contemporary Japan, juxtaposing sterile hospital rooms with lingering shadows of forgotten deities. It is a meditation on the fragile balance between science and legend, inviting the audience to wonder how far a modern mind will go when confronted with an ancient evil that threatens all of humanity. The story promises a haunting, pulse‑quickening journey that tests both intellect and spirit, all while staying rooted in the richly textured world of Japanese myth and modern life.
