Plot
In 1999,the world has been reduced to an apocalyptic wasteland due to an inexplicable gust of wind that wiped even the most basic memories,such as speech and civility,from the minds of the world's populace. Wataru befriends a young man named Johnny who,prior to the incident,was part of a government experiment designed to expand the memory capacity of the human mind and,therefore,was able to retain his memories. Johnny helps Wataru regain his speech and teaches him other basic functions. However,as a result of the physical toll his body endured due to the government experiments,Johnny dies after encouraging Wataru to travel the world.
Wataru encounters a strange woman named Sophia after she helps him escape from an encounter with an unmanned Police Mech Unit and agrees to take Sophia to New York City. Together the two travel to Los Angeles where they help save Sue and her father,Little John,from a mob. Sue was to be offered as a bride to appease a "god",which in reality is a Construction Mech controlled by a man,but fled to escape her fate. However,upon realizing that if she were not sacrificed another woman would be in her stead,she flees from the group to rejoin her tribe. Wataru destroys the Construction Mech but Sue is killed in the conflict. Little John remains in Los Angeles to keep order of the tribe and rebuild society.
Wataru and Sophia resume their travels only to be attacked once more by the Police Mech. Sophia rescues Wataru and brings him to an advanced city called Eternal Town for medical attention. When Wataru regains consciousness,he discovers that the city is run by a super computer that has brainwashed two of its original citizens into running the day-to-day operations of the city. The super computer attempts to persuade Sophia and Wataru into becoming citizens as well but the two escape with one of the original citizens,Lisa. As they depart from the city,Lisa begins to recall memories from her past including the fact that the other citizen who was brainwashed into running the city was her father. As a result,Lisa decides to remain in Eternal Town. Sophia then explains that she is a member of an alien race that is responsible for the wind that erased Earth's citizens' memories. Sophia makes a wager with Wataru that if he is able to convince another person to join him in his travels,she will return humanity's memory.
Wataru and Sophia are chased across the country by the unrelenting Police Mech until they reach New York City. Upon arriving,Wataru drops Sophia off in order to defeat the Police Mech by himself. After destroying the Police Mech,Sophia saves Wataru as he falls from a building. Sophia leaves in order to rejoin her race and convince them that humanity deserves to have their memories.
