Unfortunately, most melee weapons and the steam-pressure guns used by the bushi are not very effective against them.
On the island country Hinomoto, people have built fortress-like “stations” to shelter themselves from these creatures. People access the stations and transport wares between them with the help of fortified steam locomotives. One day, a hayajirō hijacked by the kabane crashes into Aragane Station and they overrun the city.
A young engineer called Ikoma uses the opportunity to test the success of his anti-kabane weapon, the “piercing gun”, but is infected in the process, although he manages to resist the virus and become a Kabaneri, a human-kabane hybrid.
