Story Details

After the events of Civil War, which ended in the reveal of the presence of undercover Revanchist members within organizations such as the Coalition, the state of the United Universes had also been put into disarray. With the Revanchist having leaked their own infiltration of multiversal organizations, as well as the darker details of the Coalition Civil War, public distrust of the Multiversal United Nations across the world of the Secretariat, as well as other in-the-know worlds such as Avalon and Wolfgorge, is at an all-time high, and it has fallen on the shoulders of Deputy Secretary-General Akane Tsunemori to assuage the done damage, especially after the resignation of her predecessor, Ritsuko Akagi, alongside her trusted aides.

When a media mogul residing within the world in which the UN Headquarters is based, known as Elliot Carver, organizes campaigns gathering supporters at an alarming rate that advocates for the impeachment of the Office of the Secretary-General, Akane, along with a select group of other members of the UN, is forced to step in and confront Carver, but when they do, they find themselves entangled in a mysterious web of conspiracy darker than they'd imagined, and it is up to them to unmask the evil beneath the surface for the greater good, even if that greater good has forsaken them.

In the aftermath of the incident, as Carver is arrested and his plans are brought into the light, Ginoza muses to himself privately about how Carver was able to control the flow of information and context as he liked, and the danger of what such a power could bring if left unchecked. With that, he begins work on a new endeavor, simply titled "Project V."

Trivia

• The title is a reference to and is based on the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, in which Elliot Carver acted as the primary antagonist.
  • "Tomorrow Never Lies" was originally intended to be the title for the film Tomorrow Never Dies, but was changed at the last minute due to a typo in the marketing campaign.

• Though the story was originally conceived with the intent of being a one-off narrative, it was later repurposed to build up for the Project V Arc.
• Some degree of content was cut from the final story, including a prolonged climactic battle between the protagonists and Carver's forces led by his chief of security Stamper, another character from Tomorrow Never Dies.
