LatestAs Chronos and remaining members of the Apostles of the Stars fight the monsters outside Eden, Train and Sven go inside to rescue Eve, determined to save her even if it would cost them their lives. While Sven tries to get close to Eve, Train has to face off against his own inner demons first.
The bounty hunter Sven is barely scraping by when he crosses paths with the Black Cat (a.k.a. Train Heartnet) and the young bio-weapon Eve. The three new companions will need more than luck to survive when they find themselves sought by both the Chronos Numbers and a Taoist revolutionary group called the Apostles of the Star.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Black Cat hit that perfect 2005 anime licensing sweet spot—Tokyopop manga, Funimation dub, AMV culture explosion. It was everywhere and nowhere at once.
The anime diverges hard from Kentaro Yabuki's manga after episode 16 because the manga was still running—meaning Eve's full potential and the final Chronos arc exist only in print.
