BASIC PLOT
A mysterious boy with no memory escapes from a palace chased by shooting guards. He runs into a girl who names him Rose (for the rose-shaped scar on his forehead) and takes him to the home of a young genius scientist. He discovers that the boy is actually a clone of the late Emperor Idea, who possessed mysterious powers. Rose returns to the castle to assume the duties of the late emperor, but the emperor's body is stolen and another clone is created. The two face off in a classic battle of good and evil.
