Valkyria Chronicles

Senjou no Valkyria · 戦場のヴァルキュリア

Set on a fictional continent resembling Europe in the 1930s known as Europa, the world finds itself divided between two massive factions. The eastern side is governed by the monarchical Imperial Empire, while the western side consists of the Federation, an alliance of democracies. Both superpowers are locked in a perpetual struggle for ragnite, a vital mineral utilized for both weaponry and medical applications. The neutral nation of Gallia holds abundant reserves of this precious substance, making it an irresistible target when the Empire launches an invasion to seize the wealth for themselves.

Amidst this sudden aggression, the narrative centers on Welkin, the son of a celebrated war hero, alongside his adoptive Darcsen sister Isara and Alicia, a dedicated member of the local town watch. Together, this diverse group joins a makeshift militia unit designated as Squad 7 to push back against the invading Imperial forces. Operating under Welkin's leadership aboard the Edelweiss tank—with Alicia serving as a scout and Isara piloting the vehicle—the squad fights alongside a colorful array of companions to reclaim their homeland and secure their livelihoods.

Blending a dramatic wartime backdrop with elements of romance, the narrative explores the bonds forged in the heat of battle as ordinary individuals rise to extraordinary challenges. The struggles of Squad 7 highlight personal resilience and collective determination against overwhelming military might, offering viewers a deeply character-driven journey through a continent torn apart by greed and ambition.
