A synopsis on Valvrave the Liberator: A new age where 70% of the human population lives in space 

thanks to the development of “Dyson Sphere”, a city in space. The world is divided into two main 

powers: The Dorrssia Military Pact Federation, a power which grew out of a military alliance, and the 

Atlantic Rim United States (ARUS), which grew in power as it expanded its trade agreements. The 

minor nation of JIOR has declared neutrality between these two forces and maintains its peace through 

economic prosperity. Within the JIOR’s Sphere, Haruto Tokishima lived an ordinary life as a high 

school student in the division known as “Module 77”-until the Dorssian military begins their sudden 

invasion! But the whole world will be shaken when Haruto meets the mysterious humanoid weapon, 

Valvrave!

“Valvrave the Liberator is an exciting new series that fans have been looking forward to watching” says 

Hideki Goto, the president of Animation Business of Aniplex of America. “Valvrave the Liberator is 

another example of how we continue to provide the fans with the latest and greatest content right after it 

airs in Japan.”
