Primal forces compete in Neo-Tokyo's Olympic stadium, raw genesis and ragged apocalypse vying for the devotion of a city's survivors and the attention of the entire world. Creation's champion is the anguished Tetsuo, flesh betraying his humanity to unnatural transformation and transcendence. Destruction's heroes range from the manic Kaneda and Kai, toy soldiers atop stolen war machines...to dire American troops, men fearful as boys attacking the mighty Akira...to the grim Colonel, unleashing heavenly power in a reckless attempt to reclaim his old world from the new one he's helped set loose. Choose your side...as if there are any winners in this deadly game.
