However, humans are known for their ability to adapt and this time they will not give up that easily. Many seed ships are being created, which are later sent in different parts of space and are designed to be the last stronghold of the human race. Although, seed ships do have weaponry, they use robots called gardes, or guardians to protect the main ship from any possible threat that might occur. Not much is known about other seed ships, because the distance between them is so great that it takes more than 100 years only for one message to be delivered. In this lovely setting, Knight of Sidonia focuses on one of these seed ships. Sidonia has its own guardian Saitou Hiroki, who is a guardian's pilot and Sidonia's top 1 ace. However, one day, due to some unknown circumstances, Hiroki refuses to take medicine anymore, which increases the lifespan; he takes his grandson with him and hides from the people of Sidonia. Eventually, Hiroki dies and it forces his grandson to the surface. One of the Sidonia's leaders immediately understands that Nagate is the only grandson of one of the greatest ace pilots Sidonia has ever had and that his grandson is believed to be as skilled as his grandad and sends him on a mission. Right on his very first mission, Tanikaze faces the main foe of humanity that has not attacked Sidonia for a long while-gauna. Can Tanikaze defend Sidonia?—Scientiiaa
