As a result, Ajin that have escaped from government custody (such as Satou, the main antagonist) are bent on exacting revenge from governments.

Governments claim to protect Ajin, but in reality, most use them as subjects for cruel and inhumane experiments, as their abilities to completely recover from fatal wounds provides an unlimited source of organs and bodies in dangerous tests (such as live-fire weapons testing). Different "black ghosts" have varying degrees of intelligence: most are completely reliant on their Ajin for directions, and others, such as Kei's, are more independent and likely to engage in self-initiated actions.Ĭonsequently, Ajin are considered dangerous and inhuman by the public, and most are captured by governments. "Black ghosts" are resistant to physical injury, exhibit extraordinary physical strength, and have sharp teeth and claws. Ajin can also create "black ghosts", highly dangerous combat-oriented entities that are only visible to other Ajin. In the world of Ajin, a small number of humans (termed "Ajin") possess immortality and extreme regenerative abilities that trigger upon death, allowing them to completely recover from any mortal injury in a matter of seconds.
