About Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~

Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ (Code:Realize～創世の姫君～) blends action, adventure and fantasy by M.S.C (2017). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: Restricted to an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of London in fulfillment of a promise to her father, lonely Cardia lives day to day isolated from the world. Her body carries a deadly poison that rots or melts anything her skin touches, prompting the locals to call her a “monster.” One day, her quiet solitude is interrupted as the Royal Guards break in to capture her.

Soon after, it is then that Cardia meets Arsène Lupin, a chivalrous thief, who helps her escape the soldiers' clutches. She soon finds herself on a journey with Lupin to locate her father, who holds the answers to her enigmatic condition.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Impey Barbicane (Shoutarou Morikubo) and Cardia Beckford (Saori Hayami) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
