AZURLANE: ARS NOVA

John Azurlane, one of humanity's best commanders, got falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit and is now serving as one of the penal units.
.....

The siren was never meant to destroy humanity... it was the "X", interdimensional interuniversal parasites that corrupt anything and consumes life. And the funny thing is, the Azurlane's kansens managed to finally destroy all of them thus the humanity is saved.

But a new threat emerges: "Fleet of Fog", ww2 ships with glowing sigils, equipped with nanomachine based technology, and are capable of adapting and evolving.

Also, an unexpected miracle happened which has no any relations to the new enemy; dubbed as the "Ars Nova" phenomena, a supernatural phenomena that gives random people an ability to transform at will where their transformation reflects their innermost psyche, deepest or direst desire, preferences, tastes, occupation and many more. Others says it brings out the "worst" in people.

Because how the transformation works, governments began exploiting these people, reshaping their psyche through conditioning and brainwashing -- and in that way, they had a leash on the awakeners

A special group of awakeners, most were criminals and others considered to be undesirables, they all had been brainwashed, conditioned into thinking they were mere sacrificial pawns and thus the Kamikaze Penal Unit program was created -- awakeners that had their alter forms based on kamikaze weponries and other explosives, due to their psyche and mind brainwashed by the program

John Azurlane was among of the penal units. As a penal units, they were the new frontliners and ocean shall be their graveyard. With their strikes collides, it generates an explosion which only affects the target. If things goes dire, they can self destruct -- a reminder they were just merely replacable, a disposable weapon, a human no more.

Another new enemy threat emerges somehow, making the rest questions if the reality is still the same.
