Intro
High-Rise Invasion (Tenkuu Shinpan) is a Japanese survival horror, psychological thriller, action, and supernatural anime based on the manga written by Tsuina Miura and illustrated by Takahiro Oba. The anime adaptation premiered on Netflix in 2021 and covers the early portion of the manga's story. The series takes place inside a mysterious alternate dimension known simply as the High-Rise World—an endless city composed entirely of skyscrapers connected by suspension bridges. There are no streets, no ground-level escape routes, and seemingly no way to return home. Every building functions as both a prison and a battlefield. The world's purpose is not random. It is an enormous selection system designed to produce the perfect individual worthy of becoming God. To achieve this, countless ordinary people are abducted from Earth and forced into a brutal survival game where death, despair, and psychological pressure are constant.
The High-Rise World*
Upon arrival, every person suddenly finds themselves standing on the rooftop of an unfamiliar skyscraper. The environment consists of:Hundreds of interconnected skyscrapers
- Rooftop suspension bridges*
- Office buildings*
- Hotels*
- Hospitals*
- Apartment towers*
- Shopping centers*
The sky always appears unnaturally clear despite the nightmare occurring below.
Leaving the rooftops is nearly impossible.
The lower floors usually contain abandoned interiors, but survivors cannot escape the city by reaching street level. The entire environment is enclosed by an invisible system that prevents normal escape.
Communication with the outside world is almost nonexistent except through mobile phones brought into the world
The Goal of the World
The High-Rise World exists for one reason: To create God. *The administrators continuously observe every survivor. Through endless combat, fear, sacrifice, and decision-making, certain survivors prove themselves worthy of ascending beyond humanity. *These exceptional individuals become known as God Candidates.
**Masks:Masks are the greatest threat in the series:Originally human beings themselves, Masks have had their minds overwritten by the world's system—Once someone wears a functioning Mask, their personality is largely erased and replaced with programming—Masks become living weapons whose sole purpose is advancing the selection process—Different Masks possess different behavioral programming.
Examples include:Smiling Masks,Sniper Masks,Maid Masks,Dealer Masks,Baseball Masks,Police Masks,Sword Masks—Although they retain human bodies, their minds become obedient to the system.* # Angel Masks:After synchronization with the system,many Masks become known as Angels** An Angel is essentially an evolved Mask whose body and mind have been optimized for combat. *Their objectives include:Eliminating weak survivors, Driving humans into despair,Protecting God Candidates when ordered,Encouraging evolution through fear, Human minds remain intact | Minds are largely overwritten by the Mask's programming
(Rika Honjo was inside his apartment-in the high rise realm)—(Meanwhile Yuri and Mayuko,Kuon were with sniper mask whom were searching for Rika’s apartment through the skyscraper buildings)
