In a world where the line between advanced technology and ancient magic is blurred, former Japan Self-Defense Force sergeant, Emi Sakamoto, faces her greatest challenge yet. During a routine mission, Emi's squad was ambushed by an unknown enemy. Amidst the chaos, a mysterious entity known only as Tank-Kun struck, sending Emi hurtling into a parallel dimension teeming with futuristic marvels and otherworldly threats.

Awakening in a neon-lit metropolis, Emi quickly realizes she is no longer in her world. The sprawling cityscape, known as Neo-Tokyo, is a blend of high-tech skyscrapers, advanced transportation, and covert government agencies. Amidst this urban sprawl, she discovers the Witchblade, an ancient and sentient artifact of immense power. This relic bonds with Emi, bestowing upon her a suit of armor that adapts to her will, enhancing her strength, agility, and endurance.

As Emi grapples with her new reality, she meets a diverse array of allies and adversaries. Sachi, the AI embedded in her smart glasses, becomes her constant companion, providing real-time data and tactical support. Dr. Akihiko Tanaka, a scientist specializing in ancient artifacts, helps Emi understand the Witchblade's origins and powers. Yuki, Emi's best friend from her past life, inexplicably appears in this new world, becoming her confidante. Captain Ryu, leader of a covert defense force, recruits Emi to battle extraterrestrial threats.
