LatestIzzy and the others race through the ruins... and find Justice skewered on a bed of spikes. Worse yet, his overuse of his tattoo powers has weakened his regenerative ability, leaving him on the verge of death. Izzy and Tamaki tell Tom to take him and flee while they face off against Arya to buy him more time. When Justice realizes that Izzy and the others are fighting to save him, he knows that he was wrong to become so obsessed with vengeance, and his mind turns toward saving them instead...
The story follows Justice Akazuka (a.k.a. Seigi), a young man who is good at martial arts. One day, Seigi rescues a homeless old man from some thugs, and the man gives him an object that imprints a tattoo on his palm. However, it is not an ordinary tattoo, but a special weapon that gives Seigi supernatural powers such as warping space-time. Seigi then meets a female American agent named Izzie, whose duty is to recover the tattoos. He decides to help her and gets wrapped up in a cross-national conspiracy.

Tattoo activation sequences slap harder than the plot deserves.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The manga ran for years but the anime got ONE season—classic case of adaptation rushing to catch up and faceplanting.
Tomokazu Sugita (Gintama's Gintoki) voicing Tom Shredfield means at least one character knows this whole thing is ridiculous.
