Plot:
Yuji and his friends are members of the extensive Japanese sub-culture of "otaku" or science-fiction fanatics. Yuji's particular obsession is collecting plastic figures, still inside their blister packages. His goal is to find a mythical figure named "Hellbanker" which is not to be found in any store in Japan. Mixed in with this storyline is a seemingly unrelated subplot set 200 years in the future, after a global environmental disaster, in which two men are fighting over the contents of a mysterious box that can supposedly save the world. How can the two possibly be connected?
