- Synopsis
- 20th Century Boys centers around normal, average guy Kenji [Casshern’s Toshiaki Karasawa], who has turned into a mere shadow of his rebellious, determined childhood self. He runs a failing convenience Store [the backbone of Japanese Society surely] with his battleaxe of a mother and a part time employee with a disastrous inflection. His life is boring and simple, even his sister has run away, leaving him to care for her baby, Kanna.
Everything changes when he goes to a School Reunion and awkwardly meets his friends from the good ol’ days of 1973, when rock is revolutionary and ‘things mattered’. While nostalgia should be setting in, Kenji gets involved in a conversation about a certain new ‘religious’ group that people are flocking to. Not just that, but a killer virus has been sweeping the globe, wiping out all who come into contact with it. Disillusioned, Kenji thinks nothing of it until he discovers that this new religion, calling itself the ‘Friend Group’ is using the exact same symbol he and his childhood mates used back in the day when they swore to ‘Protect The World’. In fact, this group and their leader ‘Friend’ seem to be enacting every single idea he and his friends though of when they were younger. Such horrible, deadly things they thought of…
Soon, Kenji and everyone he loves must join together and fight to save the world before 01/01/2000.- Rankings Position
