Seasons / Episodes

Having burned bridges and betrayed the Syndicate, Hei and Yin are now fugitives, forced to flee Japan and forge a new path. Their journey leads Hei to Suou Pavlichenko, a young, enigmatic 13-year-old caught in the crossfire of escalating conflicts between powerful factions and formidable Contractors. Back in Tokyo, Hell's Gate endures – a stark reminder of Hei’s previous struggle against the devastating Saturn Ring weapon. While the immediate threat of erasure has subsided for Contractors, the potential for abuse remains ever present as old rivalries reignite and new powers emerge. Across Japan and into Russia, Misaki Kirihara and her Public Security Bureau team find themselves battling an increasing tide of Contractor-related incidents while simultaneously confronting the pervasive influence of the Syndicate, who maintain a disturbing level of control within both Japanese law enforcement and global intelligence agencies.

Description:

Two mysterious gates – Heaven's Gate in South America and Hell's Gate in Tokyo – have opened, reshaping the world and creating people with extraordinary powers called Contractors. These individuals, with abilities beyond normal human limits, are now essential in a changed world. The United States' global power has diminished, overshadowed by a secretive organization known as the Syndicate. In this new order, Hei, a Chinese Contractor, operates in the shadowy streets of Tokyo. He carries out dangerous missions – from spying to assassinations – navigating a world of deception and betrayal. Hei’s actions will have far-reaching consequences, impacting China's standing as a global force.
