A soldier from inner space. Within Isa’s veins runs the blood of an outer-space being, which he inherited from his father, Saki.

A recon unit from outer space with no memory of her past. She is very curious about Isa, the rst human she’s ever encountered.Who is most worthy of being called human?• The alien life-form with an insatiable curiosity about humans.• The young ghter struggling to dene his own humanity.• The ghters who wish to end the oppression of humans on Earth-5.

Earth-5 Combat Specialists

Sensing an opening in inner space’s defenses, outer space sent a reconnaissance unit disguised as a human girl to inner space. The girl landed on the planet Earth-4, which had been wiped of human life by the creators.However, during the process of inltrating inner space, the recon unit lost her memory. Her directive to investigate and document the weaknesses of humans grew vague, leaving her merely with a curiosity toward them. She drifted through the desolate ruins of Earth-4, knowing only that she felt compelled to learn more about the human race.Inner space soon detected the spy from outer space. They sent a rookie operative, Isa Jo, to Earth-4 to destroy the recon unit. This decision sparked much controversy within the ranks of inner space’s defense forces, as Isa’s father’s blood had been tainted by that of outer space, making Isa something not entirely human. Our universe is divided into two dimensions—inner space and outer space—that are locked in an eternal power struggle. In order to defend against outer space, the leaders of inner space have created several planets known as “earths” where they cultivate aggressive life-forms called humans. Humans act as inner space’s defensive front line. However, the inherent emotional instability of humans is the cause of much concern for the leaders of inner space, who are known as the “creators.” Every so often, humans will overcome their natural desire to destroy beings dierent from themselves and choose instead to live in peace.Each time humans stray from their intended purpose, the creators wipe the planet of its human population. They then create a new earth and cultivate humanity anew. In wiping out their defensive front line, however, they give outer space an opportunity to launch an assault.Soon after landing on Earth-4, Isa came face-to-face with the recon unit amid the devastated remains of the planet. Isa could have destroyed her then and there, but after watching the seemingly harmless girl indulge her curiosity about humans, Isa began to question his task. He sensed a strange connection with the girl and wondered if her natural impulses might be the most human of qualities. Instead of killing her, Isa decided to observe her for a while.Furious at Isa for what they perceived as betrayal, the creators summoned the Nebulox, an elite group of highly trained human ghters from Earth-5. The creators ordered the Nebulox to exterminate both the alien recon unit and Isa.The Nebulox consented to this task on the condition that the humans of Earth-5 receive expanded rights and privileges. And so the hunt begins… 70043A_Wii_Sin Punishment_SS_manual.indd 3-4 5/12/10 12:50:15 PMSIN & PUNISHMENT CONTROLS
