To most of Society, Witches are nothing more than myths and legends of a bygone era. However, there are a few people who possess the Witch genome; a gene that may give the person special, supernatural abilities. For them, a secret organization named Solomon (STN) was formed to track and hunt them down before they became a threat to the rest of Society. The story follows the members of the STN-J, the Japanese branch of Solomon. Unlike other branches of the STN, the STN-J captures Witches alive. Armed with a substance called Orbo, an invention developed by Administrator Zaizen, the Hunters subdue the Witches of Japan and send them to a facility called the Factory. It was during one of these Hunts that a member of the team was killed. With morale falling, Solomon Headquarters sends a new Hunter from Italy to join the STN-J as a replacement for the fallen Hunter; a young girl named Robin Sen

S1E26 - Time to Tell
The final episode uncovers the origin of Project Robin. It is here that Amon and Robin confronts Zaizen in a final showdown to uncover the truth behind Todo's project. The episode ends off with the Factory destroyed, and most of the STN-J escaping unharmed. The only exceptions are Amon and Robin who have either escaped or been killed in the resulting collapse of the Factory. At the ending, the reactions of the various other characters hinted at them being alive but are said to be dead for their own safety. After the ending song, there is a scene in which a woman wearing similar clothes like Robin comes out of a taxi as a new hunter for STN-J.
