Everybody knows that we live in a time of constant change. That change is inevitable anywhere you look. The world evolves just like we do. The decadent society is, by definition, a victim of its own creativity. Similarly, in the world of “Deca Dence”, we see many such co-relations to our world. This peculiar story leaves us wanting for more, as we are intrigued by the concept of ‘Cyborgs’ as a society living and surviving together with humans. “Deca Dence Episode 12” titled appropriately, “Decadence” which is the last episode of this post-apocalyptic cyborg societal world adapting series. The Season Finale arrives soon enough.
Decadence (ˈdɛkəd(ə)ns) : moral or cultural decline as characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury.
In this harrowing story, we see a “Dystopian Game” world, a bit similar to HBO’s Super Hit “West World” series, including the risk to lives. Even “Attack on Titan” comes to mind. But rest assured, it is nothing like it. As there happens to be a baffling emergence of mysterious life forms called, ‘Gadoll’. And they wipe out the human population by 90%! The remaining 10% pool out their wisdom and creates cyborgs and this dystopian world called the “Deca Dence” to kill the gadolls and survive as a futuristic civilization. Deca Dence is a 3000 meters-high mobile fortress city surrounded by walls, built to protect the denizens — Gears and Tankers from Gadolls. Outside those walls are the monstrous Gadolls.
Cyborgs: Originally meant humans who had some part of their bodies changed to machinery, but gradually the trend shifted towards mechanizing the entire body. Though they are still called Cyborgs, they are quite different beings compared to the early Cyborgs. (According to Deca Dence Fandom: Wiki)
