Like many science fiction films, Human Lost asks the age-old question: what does it mean to be human? Drawing from its source material, death plays prominently as a theme with the film’s story and its main character (who has the same name as Dazai’s protagonist in No Longer Human). All the while, an enemy seeks to undo the actions of S.H.E.L.L. He later meets Yoshiko Hiiragi – the Second Applicant – who helps him in his ordeal. Having also transformed himself, he’s able to retain his humanity and becomes the Third Applicant – a rare specimen seen as a savior for humanity. A young man named Oba Yozo loses his close friend when he turns into a beast called a Lost. The S.H.E.L.L (Sound Health Everlasting Long Life) medical system helps society by inserting nano-machines into every Tokyo citizen, healing wounds and resurrecting people back to life – albeit at a risky cost. In the year 2036, Japanese society has evolved their lifespan by removing all remnants of death and disease.
