By 2029, the world had undergone four global conflicts and embraced a new era of technological advancement that had profoundly altered society. With widespread cybernetic enhancements, robotic artificial intelligence, and cyborgs, humanity had become more machine than human. Nevertheless, this cutting-edge shift also catalyzed the evolution of crime, as hackers, corrupt authorities, and other opportunistic individuals found ways to manipulate inventive systems for their own gain. Amidst the rampant criminal activity in Japan, the government established Section 9, an elite team of highly skilled operatives tasked with countering these threats. Leading the charge was Major Motoko Kusanagi, a fearless and tenacious woman who spearheaded Section 9's efforts to combat cyberterrorism and safeguard the nation's stability in the face of an ever-advancing future.
The series follows Motoko Aramaki, an enigmatic character, as she investigates an incident at an organ factory and its consequences. In an attempt to rectify the situation and protect herself, she must avoid being captured. Meanwhile, the other members of section 9 are delving into Motoko's past to unveil her true identity.

But Rika, once a sweet girl in Yuuta's life, manifests herself as a powerful and monstrous entity that violently protects him, leaving Yuuta helpless and unable to control her murderous tendencies. With the "Jujutsu" sorcerers, the world's secret guardians against the likes of Rika, hot on his trail, Yuuta wishes for nothing but total isolation to prevent further bloodshed. However, his captor, the master sorcerer Satoru Gojou, has a different plan in mind. He wants Yuuta to join Jujutsu High School, where he can learn to harness the power of Rika while serving the greater good. Yuuta, now a first-year student, begins his training in Jujutsu arts, joining forces with his new classmates: Maki Zenin, an expert in Jujutsu weaponry; Toge Inumaki, a spellcaster who uses words as weapons, and Panda, a peculiar walking and talking panda. As he progresses, Yuuta finds his place in the world and finally starts to feel comfortable with his abilities. However, he soon discovers that the dangers of the Jujutsu world are far greater than wicked spirits.

On his way back from a nearby convenience store, Subaru Natsuki is suddenly stranded in a foreign city. He finds himself surrounded by unfamiliar faces speaking a foreign tongue, realizing he has been transported to an entirely different world. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper throws him out for being insolvent, leaving him hopeless and immediately encircled by a gang of ruffians. However, just when he believes there is no escape, a mysterious young lady named Satella comes to his aid. She's on the hunt for a burglar that Subaru had seen earlier. After Satella wards off the aggressors, Subaru pledges to help her in her quest to capture the thief. After a few bizarre events, the pair ends up in an underground cellar where stolen goods are kept. When they infiltrate the cellar, they are unexpectedly attacked by a shadowy assailant resulting in both of them receiving fatal injuries. Subaru awakens to find himself transported back in time to the morning of that same day and begins a complex cycle where he relives past experiences.
Upon awakening, Subaru Natsuki finds himself in an unfamiliar room with Rem and Ram standing before him. Despite feeling disoriented, Subaru wastes no time in playfully jabbing at the sisters over their unique communication style. However, Emilia interrupts before he can make much headway in that regard, thanking him for repeatedly sacrificing himself to save her from Elsa Granhiert's wrath. After explaining that she brought him to her residence due to his injuries, Emilia introduces Subaru to Roswaal L. Mathers, the hooded figure who owns the mansion. During breakfast, Subaru expresses his desire to serve as a butler alongside Rem and Ram, and Roswaal quickly grants his wish. Despite initially adapting well to this new role, Subaru ultimately finds himself back at the mansion with no memory of the past few days. Troubled by this, he suspects that his "Return By Death" ability might be a factor but can't say for sure. Will Subaru unlock the secrets of his power and uncover the truth behind his deaths, or will he remain lost in the enigma?

Rikuo's ultimate goal is to unite all the youkai clans in Japan into his own "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons," and he eventually learns to embrace his destiny.
