God Hand - Plot

Plot

The game's backstory reveals that long ago, a fallen angel became the Demon King Angra and tries to destroy the world of humans using an army of demons and spectres. A man holding the power of God within his arms defeated Angra, sending him into exile once again. The man was then given the title of "God Hand" by the people he saved. A clan of humans was established to protect the God Hands that said that anyone who possesses them will be "capable of becoming either god or demon." The game's protagonist is Gene, a 23-year old fighter who has one of the God Hands, that sought after by a group of demons. Although he often appears outspoken and macho, he has a keen sense of justice and is accompanied by 19-year old Olivia, a descendant of a clan who protects one of the God Hand and fled. With most of her family killed by the demons, Olivia meets and joins Gene. The game's primary antagonists are the Four Devas (consists of the proud leader demon Belze; the large and fat demon Elvis; the extroverted and hedonistic female demon Shannon; and Azel, also known as "Devil Hand", a human who uses one of the God Hand and earlier joined the Devas to achieve his own goals), a society attempting to resurrect Angra and take over the world. God Hand also features a number of recurring minor enemies that Gene encounters on his journey, including a pair of twin, extremely flamboyant homosexuals; the trio responsible for cutting off Gene's original arm; a gorilla wearing a lucha libre wrestling mask and outfit (with a suspicious zipper on his back); an android; an aspiring rock trio; and a group of midgets wearing Super Sentai-style clothing. Nearly all of the battles are bookended by comical gags and dialogue.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:

    The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
