Dimension W (Japanese: ディメンションW (ダブリュー) Hepburn: Dimenshon Daburyū) is a Japanese manga series written by Yūji Iwahara and published in Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan magazine (formerly in Young Gangan) since 2011. The series is licensed in North America by Yen Press. An anime television series aired between January and March 2016.

Synopsis

In the year 2036, a fourth dimensional axis called Dimension W is proven to exist. Cross-dimensional electromagnetic induction devices, known as Coils, were developed to draw out the inexhaustible supply of energy that exists in Dimension W. New Tesla Energy and governments built sixty giant towers around the world in the pattern of a truncated icosahedron to stabilize the energy from Dimension W and supply power to the entire world. This "world system" is nearing its tenth year of operation as the story begins in 2072, and Coils of various sizes provide remote electrical power to everything from cellphones to vehicles and robots. However, dangerous unregistered Coils that do not send information back to New Tesla are being used for illegal purposes, and bounty hunters known as "Collectors" are tasked with confiscating the illegal Coils. Among the collectors is Kyouma Mabuchi, a Coil-hating loner who one day stumbles upon Mira Yurizaki, the gynoid "daughter" of New Tesla's ailing intellectual founder. When her father disappears while activating an experimental double-ringed Coil, Mira decides to join a reluctant Kyouma and follow the illegal Coils, in the process discovering shady business involving New Tesla.

Characters

Main Characters

Kyouma Mabuchi (マブチ・キョーマ Mabuchi Kyōma)
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono[2] (Japanese); Christopher R. Sabat[3] (English)
A Collector who has largely sworn off all Coil-related technology and has a hobby of restoring old gasoline-powered cars in a junkyard. In the past, to get an experimental prosthetic body for his terminally-ill fiancee, Miyabi, Kyouma joined special-ops unit Grendel and took part in a war over competing ideologies within New Tesla Energy. The war was won with the destruction of Easter Island, though Kyouma lost his memories regarding the battle and lost Miyabi in surgery at the same time. To earn a living and to help prevent dangerous Coil malfunctions, Kyouma became an independent contractor who hunts down illegal Coils and those who use them. His preferred weapons are large throwing spikes. In the series he is most often shown driving a white Toyota 2000GT.
Mira Yurizaki (百合崎 ミラ Yurizaki Mira)
Voiced by: Reina Ueda[2] (Japanese); Jād Saxton[3] (English)
A highly advanced robot who exhibits human mannerisms and insists that she is a normal girl despite her robotic headgear, metallic tail, and other inhuman physical attributes. Her body was originally designed as a prosthetic for Miyabi Azumaya and bears her physical proportions. After hearing news of her "father's" death, Mira decides to help Kyouma collect illegal Coils. She can override computer systems, use her tail to directly interface with Coils, and can detect dimensional distortions. When Koorogi repairs Mira after a stack of cars falls on her, he adds skin-folds to conceal her Coil.

Episode list

No. Title Original air date English airdate[3] Ref.
1 "Collector"
"Kaishū-ya" (回収屋) 		10 January 201627 February 2016[33]
A Collector named Kyouma Mabuchi is called in by Mary to confiscate illegal Coils acquired by an ambitious local gang. As Kyouma waits in position, he's surprised to see a kidnapped girl brought in, but deals with the criminals anyway. The last criminal standing grabs the girl as a hostage but Kyouma is unmoved and the girl is forced to defend herself, throwing a couch at her attacker and revealing herself to be a robot. She slaps Kyouma unconscious in apparent embarrassment and escapes with most of the illegal Coils. Kyouma is later woken by his old friend Albert Schuman, who chides him for falling asleep on the job. Kyouma brushes him off and pursues the girl, confronting her on a nearby rooftop. Meanwhile, Albert has located Dr. Yurizaki and asks he return to New Tesla. Yurizaki refuses, activating a device that burns-out all Coils nearby before vanishing in a pillar of green light. This also shuts down the robot girl Kyouma had captured, who is examined and reactivated at Mary's with a legal Coil. After getting over the embarrassment of being naked, the girl begs Mary and Kyouma to let her become a Collector. 
2 "Loser"
"Rūzā" (ルーザー) 		17 January 20165 March 2016[34]
The robot girl, Mira Yurizaki, believing her father to be dead, begs to become a Collector to follow his last instruction: "pursue the illegal Coils." Mary grants her wish and Kyouma reluctantly agrees to work with her. The two go to the highly publicized event of a strange, masked art-thief nicknamed "Loser" as he never succeeds in stealing the artwork in his heists. While Mira traces the source of Loser's camera feeds, Kyouma infiltrates the museum and confronts Loser himself. While making their way down to the museum's new exhibit, Loser lets on that he knows about Kyouma's past, and that the art piece contains his real target: a special "Numbered" Coil. However, the museum's curator gets impatient and uses a pair of robotic dolls overpowered by illegal Coils to attack both Kyouma and Loser. Kyouma subdues the robots while Loser takes the Numbered Coil and escapes. The curator, afraid of being discovered using illegal Coils, tries to conceal the evidence but ends up causing a catastrophic malfunction in the damaged Coils and a dimensional collapse — resulting in his body cloning and merging with the dolls in a grotesque, twisted mess. 
3 "Chase the Numbers"
"Nanbāzu o Oe" (ナンバーズを追え) 		24 January 201612 March 2016[35]
Mira Yurizaki is paid six million Yen by Mary for collecting the robotic pigeons powered by illegal Coils, and Kyouma helps her purchase a trailer so she has her own private space. Kyouma leaves to ask a contact, Dendendo, about the Numbers Coils: new Tesla prototypes made before the large stabilizing towers were built, which draw energy from the depths of Dimension W, making them powerful and potentially dangerous. Mira, meanwhile, cleans and furnishes her trailer, and meets the children who play around the auto yard. Three of them are endangered when a stack of wrecks collapses, and Mira reveals her robotic abilities to save them and is decapitated in the process. Kyouma is taken in by police who investigate him for possible negligence but he is released on the word of Claire Skyheart, chief operations officer (C.O.O.) of New Tesla Central 47, and the grandmother of one of the children, Shiora. Koorogi is able to put Mira back together, and the children visit her, agreeing to keep the secret that she's a robot. Also, Albert gives Claire Skyheart his final report on the incident with Dr Yurizaki, and they mention plans for Kyouma. 
4 "The Mystery Hidden in Lake Yasogami"
"Yasogamiko ni Hisomu Nazo" (八十神湖に潜む謎) 		31 January 201619 March 2016[36]
Albert hires Kyouma to investigate the drowning of reclusive mystery novelist Shijuro Sakaki in his residence at a remote hotel on Lake Yasogami, infamous for ghost sightings. Mira becomes unnerved, seeing a ghostly figure though there is no matching record in her logs. Kyouma visits the dam and a memorial for those who died in the flooding of the artificial lake 21 years ago, while Mira scans the books in Sakaki's study — gruesome ghost stories which further unnerve her. Kyouma confronts Albert who reveals that protesting students took a Numbered Coil to demonstrate that the hydro-electric dam would soon be obsolete, and expeditions to recover the Numbers all met with death. Sightings and deaths stopped a decade ago when Sakaki bought the hotel, but now the ghosts have returned. Koorogi reconstructs a household robot's memory, showing spectral figures attacking Sakaki, and suggests their Dimension W materialization resulted in more data than could be stored, overwriting fragments in real time. Meanwhile, visually reconstructing Yasagami village, Mira finds herself trapped in a vision with the past layered over the present, and is attacked by a ghost. A journalist is found drowned in a hotel van, and three other guests kidnap Sakaki's grieving sister, Marisa. Mira is bound and looked over by Shiro Kamiki, who reveals that in Mira's present he called himself Shijuro Sakaki. 
5 "The Potential of the Dead"
"Mōja no Kanōsei" (亡者の可能性) 		7 February 201626 March 2016[37]
The ghostly Shiro Kamiki tells Mira that he will exterminate anyone to protect his world. Spectral figures rise out of a fog to attack those at the hotel. Kyouma notices that they are effected by bottled water, and Albert triggers the hotel's fire sprinklers to stop them. Mira struggles with her own mortality and enforces her will upon the logic of the bound world, meeting another "ghost" before awakening to tell Kyouma that the Numbers is hidden inside the dam. The kidnappers take a drugged Marisa Sakaki into the dam but are defeated by Kamiki. Elizabeth "Ellie" Greenhough-Smith, who is also looking for the Numbers, is warned off by Loser who realizes that Albert has been trying to trap them. As Kyouma and Mira race to the dam, she explains that the Numbers has stored an alternate reality in Dimension W taken from the night of the flooding, for which Kamiki was responsible, where he was able to save the students from the accident but not his sister. The real Kamiki, who changed his name to Sakaki, also wished to keep his friends alive and so allowed the Numbers to preserve them while protecting the real world. Kyouma soaks himself in spring water to fight Kamiki, while Mira shatters Kamiki's perceptions and allows him to see the truth before powering down the Numbers. 
6 "The Wind of Africa"
"Afurika no Kaze" (アフリカの風) 		14 February 20162 April 2016[38]
Prince Salva-Enna-Tibesti, C.E.O. of robot manufacturer Islero and C.O.O. of Central 60, arrives in Japan. His younger brother, Prince Lwai-Aura-Tibesti, runs off to excitedly explore Japan but finds it much like Isla until he spots "samurai" Kyouma returning from the Azumaya family grave. An Islero bodyguard finds them and tries to attack Kyouma who easily disables the man's transformable vehicle. As Lwai pulls him away, Kyouma realizes Lwai has an artificial body. He goes to the Azumaya kimono shop and is welcomed by his "sister," Tsubaki, who provides Kyouma a new happi coat. It is revealed that Kyouma suffered memory loss which made it impossible for him to accept or forgive certain things, such as his involvement in the death of Miyabi Azumaya five years ago. However, Kyouma now vows to get back what he lost. Salva's retainer, Lashiti, arrives to reclaim Lwai, who obediently goes along. Prince Salva instigates Lwai's visit to Mary's that night, fighting and severely damaging her robot bodyguard Four before leaving a letter of challenge for the Collectors. Prince Salva tells Claire Skyheart that in 7 days at the forbidden ruin of Easter Island he will start a war to prevent war. 
7 "The Voice Calling from the Past"
"Kako Kara no Yobigoe" (過去からの呼び声) 		21 February 20169 April 2016[39]
A flashback shows how Kyouma met his fiancee, Miyabi Azumaya, and joined Grendel in order to save her life. Grendel was sent to recapture facilities on Easter Island but Kyouma doesn't remember what happened, told afterwards that they'd won the war but Miyabi's surgery was a failure. Feeling that he lost everything because of Coils going wild, Kyouma has hated them ever since. Presently, Kyouma decides to take up the invitation and go with Mira to Easter Island, where the biggest dimensional malfunction in history occurred. Salva explains to New Tesla that he has summoned Collectors to investigate Easter Island so that whatever is found is shared rather than starting another war within the company. The Collectors include Harry & Debbie Eastriver, Yuri Antonov, Jason "Hero" Chrysler, Hitman K.K., Scorpion Cat Cassidy & Sanchos, and Elizabeth Greenhough-Smith & Loser. They are to retrieve a single Coil which has begun working and seems to be allowing the region to recover from the nothingness of possibility. Because Coils do not function there, they travel on a D.A.B.'s airship which suffers power loss as it closes under adverse weather. A strange sphere breaches the ship killing the flight crew, and the airship crashes. Kyouma and Mira are flown by Al along a different route to Easter Island. 
8 "The Island That Fell into Nothingness"
"Kyomu ni Ochita Shima" (虚無に落ちた島) 		28 February 201616 April 2016[40]
Al lands on Easter Island and Kyouma and Mira race in his V-10 toward the research facility and ground zero of the disaster. A flashback shows that the King of Isla adopted Salva from an orphanage before siring a natural zon, Lwai; as children, Salva tells Lwai that he dreams of making the world Lwai will rule. In the present, Collectors Hero, K.K., Yuri and Cassidy come ashore and assist Lwai in sheltering Prince Salva and Sanchos who are comatose after being touched by the sphere which caused the crash. Learning that the hunt is still on, the male collectors begin searching for the target Coil, leaving Cassidy behind. The sphere makes a reappearance but seems oddly disinterested in women. Lifeforms and machinery which had been trapped in null possibility begin moving again, including large shielded robots that are still responding to Grendel's attack. Fighting one robot, Kyouma and Mira team up with the Eastriver siblings. They have a close call passing through a region of nothingness, and Kyouma summons his courage to continue when they are unexpectedly confronted by Loser. 
9 "The Key to Adrastea"
"Adorasutea no Kagi" (アドラステアの鍵) 		6 March 201623 April 2016[41]
Loser is determined to block Kyouma's path until he regains his memories of his role in Easter Island's destruction, and shows that he has incorporated four Numbers into his suit, giving him tremendous power. Their battle is interrupted when the strange sphere reappears and Kyouma touches it and loses consciousness. Kyouma and Salva seem to be reliving their pasts, when Grendel was sent to Isla to protect Central 60 and help Salva put down a revolt. However, Lwai is accidentally caught in the crossfire and is badly injured by one of Salva's war machines, much to his shock. New Tesla learns that the man behind the Isla revolt is Haruka Seameyer, a former student of Dr. Yurizaki. Kyouma and Grendel are tasked with hunting down Seameyer, who recruits many of Yurizaki's students to revolt against New Tesla. In the present, Loser and Ellie travel deeper into the lab, codenamed Adrastea, where he was once a researcher. Kyouma finally realizes he is trapped in an illusion. The sphere then approaches Kyouma, revealing itself to be Seameyer, who also wants Kyouma's memories. Meanwhile, Mira tends to Kyouma's unconscious body when a huge robot attacks. 
10 "Resurrected Nightmare"
"Yomigaeru Akumu" (蘇る悪夢) 		13 March 201630 April 2016[42]
Mira works with the Eastrivers to destroy the robot, but is nearly lost in the region of nothingness before Kyouma recovers to save her. Kyouma reveals he woke up by removing an implant that had been secretly placed in his ear, and that he's begun to regain his memories. A heavily damaged Lwai then arrives, warning that Hitman K.K. and a mind-controlled Yuri had attempted to take his life. Meanwhile, Chrysler confronts Loser, and it is quickly revealed that Chrysler is also secretly using Numbers in his suit. Kyouma, Mira, Lwai, and the Eastrivers then encounter K.K., who tells them that was hired to ensure nobody finds the Coil hidden on Easter Island and sends Yuri to attack them. Kyouma is separated and forced to fight one of his old Grendel teammates, Doug, who is now a lifeless puppet under the control of K.K. Kyouma destroys Doug's control device, putting him to rest, but K.K. escapes and kills Lwai. An enraged Kyouma is about to kill K.K. when he is stopped by Mira, and a second Lwai appears, explaining that he has multiple bodies. 
11 "The Lost Genesis"
"Kieta Jeneshisu" (消えたジェネシス) 		20 March 20167 May 2016[43]
Loser defeats Chrysler for his Numbers, fully powered as he proceeds deeper into Adrastea. Lwai explains that he can remotely inhabit robot bodies from Isla. Told about the implants, Lwai wakes Salva who joins them and explains that he is seeking Genesis, a Coil allegedly capable of creating "something from nothing", hoping it can regenerate Lwai's body. While the others hold off robots, Kyouma, Mira, Salva, and Lashiti enter Adrastea. They encounter Loser, who confirms that he was a researcher and the destruction of Easter Island was caused by the malfunction of an experimental transporter. Loser then uses one of his Numbers to show the group a memory: Loser, Seameyer, and Dr. Yurizaki had worked together to create Genesis until Dr. Yurizaki and New Tesla shut the project down, sending Seameyer into madness, eventually developing his own Genesis and ruthlessly experimenting on his own scientists. Trapped in a pocket dimension, Seameyer says Kyouma took Genesis and teleported away - and only Kyouma knows where Genesis is. When Loser asks what Seameyer has done with his wife, Sophie, Seameyer replies that he punished her for foiling his plans by turning her into a giant monster, and sends it to attack them. 
12 "The Future Reached"
"Tadoritsuita Mirai" (辿りついた未来) 		27 March 201614 May 2016[44]
Loser battles Seameyer's monster, but quickly loses the upper hand. Meanwhile, Kyouma feels guilty over having caused the teleporter accident, but Mira points out that if it were not for him and Miyabi, she wouldn't exist since she was originally supposed to be Miyabi's replacement body. Remembering Miyabi, Kyouma regains his resolve, and allows Mira to enter his memories to restore them. When Kyouma awakens he finds Salva, Loser, Ellie, and the Eastrivers ready to help him fight Seameyer. Mira flees as her Coil is about to overload and she is captured by Seameyer, but Kyouma taunts him by deliberately allowing him to look into his memories. Kyouma reveals to Seameyer that Miyabi refused to be restored by Genesis, and honoring her wishes, Kyouma destroyed it. Seameyer goes mad with rage, but is quickly defeated by the combined efforts of Kyouma and his friends. Seameyer has a dying vision of Dr. Yurikazi comforting him in his last moments. Outside, Mira's Coil overloads, but Dr. Yurikazi suddenly appears and entrusts Mira with a new Coil. After the battle, Loser succumbs to his wounds and the surviving Collectors return home. In the epilogue, Kyouma and Mira continue working together as Collectors.
