PLOT
Akira Natsume awakens from a 16-year coma in the year 2014 after being struck by a truck and discovering himself inside a machine. He is welcomed by policewoman Minami Uezono and her android sidekick Alma as he gets used to the new interface. They demonstrate to Akira how his brain is housed inside an EX-ARM, a destructive weapon. The three must escape from a smuggler ship captained by an enemy using only cunning and battle prowess. Akira is reluctant to fight at first, but he soon remembers his brother's words from before the accident. He is motivated by the memories to act, taking control of Alma's body to use martial arts to battle his opponents. He finds the destructive potential of his EX-ARM by skillfully hacking and seizing control of the ship after Alma plugs him into one of the ship's ports. Akira meets the other members of the EX-ARM Countermeasure Prevention Team, a police division tasked with lessening the impacts of EX-ARMs, once they have safely returned to land. He decides to join the squad and put an end to the terror these weapons inflict after witnessing the crimes committed by people who crave the power of EX-ARMs.
