Based on Kei Sazane's light novels, Why Nobody Remembers My World anime follows Kai Sakura Vento, who witnesses the world getting "overwritten." In this "rewritten" world, Kai observes humanity's plight due to the absence of the hero, Sid.

Ravaged by dangerous monsters and dragons, the new world is nothing like the previous one, where Kai and others thrived. However, he refuses to be bogged down by the adverse situation.

He resolves to break free from this world. In this quest, Kai also gains new strength and allies. The anime will thus showcase Kai's struggle and his adventures in an adverse world.
