Guilty Crown
With a focus on the action and power this time around, the upcoming release of Guilty Crown from FUNimation gives us a look at the kind of stand Gai takes in the face of a superior physical force and counters it with Shu having to get involved, which reveals the Void power and scale quite clearly. The show, released in two parts next week, hits a lot of these themes along the way when it comes to Shu and whether he should get involved or not, and this is one of the early defining moments for him.
Plot concept: Shu’s entire world was shattered after a meteorite crashed into Japan, unleashing the lethal Apocalypse Virus. The chaos and anarchy born of the outbreak cost Shu his family and reduced him to a timid, fearful shell of the boy he’d once been. His life took another unexpected turn after a chance encounter with the stunning pop star, Inori. This mysterious beauty introduced Shu to the King’s Right Hand: a genetic mutation that allows him to reach into hearts of mortals and turn them into weapons.
Shu finds himself caught in the crossfire between those who desperately seek his newfound strength. On one side lurks a clandestine government agency, and on the other, Inori and the spirited band of rebels known as Funeral Parlor. The choice is Shu’s to make – and the world is his to change.
