Cid Kagenou is back to rule the roost with his delusions of grandeur, ready to spout cosmic bullshit that, by pure absurd coincidence, always turns out to be resoundingly true. This time, the scene of madness is the Lawless City, a den of criminals and scum ruled by three ruthless rulers, including the Vampire Queen Elizabeth, ready to awaken and unleash a massacre of epic proportions. While his faithful Shadow Garden girls take things deadly seriously, fighting in the shadows and dismantling financial conspiracies and dark cults, Cid wanders around under the new and tacky identity of "John Smith," worrying only about raking in money, acting mysterious, and pulling off his usual atomic moves as a supreme supporting character.
