Plot
The story follows twin brothers Yamato and Yūto Shiroaya and their childhood friend Michiru Iguro. Yamato obtains a mysterious bracelet from a fortune teller that enables one-way time travel to the future with a single return option to the present. When Yamato tests the device, he arrives in a future only five minutes ahead of his original timeline, where mobile Buddhist statues are destroying the city and slaughtering civilians. During the chaos, Michiru dies while protecting Yamato, but not before urging him to investigate the statues' origins and weaknesses to prevent the catastrophe.
Yamato and Yūto join survivors in researching the statues, but conventional military forces prove ineffective against them. The situation escalates until the appearance of Jirō Fuyukawa, a man wielding unexplained powers capable of destroying the statues. Jirō reveals he possesses an ability called "Odo Genius" from having previously time traveled himself to fight the statues. He transfers this power to Yamato, who prepares to confront the lead statue, Aizen Myōō, in an attempt to alter the timeline within the critical five-minute window.
