Plot
There are mysterious lifeforms known as "Emorgies" that can amplify people's emotions and give them special powers. Reiji Doki, a member of the Galaxy Federal Police who can transform into Gavan Infinity, travels across the multiverse, solving incidents regarding criminals misusing the power of the Emorgears accompanied by the researcher Daisuke Date and the autonomous artificial intelligence "AGI". The team also have the occasional assistance of other officers who also bear the title of Gavan in their respective universes, such as Setsuna Aikokuin/Gavan Bushido, an artificially created human and former soldier, Kiki Iwai/Gavan Luminous, a forensic researcher and Kunai Kazanami/Gavan Raiya, a ninja who also can travel between dimensions. Later Reiji discovers that Tesshin Mikage, a former member of the Galaxy Federal Police and his predecessor who turned rogue and now calls himself Death Gavan, is responsible for spreading the Emorgears across the multiverse for the awakening of an ancient evil called Aza Zorth.
