EX-ARM is a sci-fi battle action series that will begin airing in January 2021. Set in the near future of 2030, where fields such as androids and AI have developed significantly, the story follows the fight against criminal organizations over an over-technological weapon called EX-ARM and the mystery of EX-ARM. I would like to introduce a number of incidents that have appeared in EX-ARM together! !
Case File No. 1: The Beginning of the Car Accident
A traffic accident that occurred on June 12, 2014. At the time, a traffic accident occurred in which high school student Akira Natsume was hit by a large truck while crossing an intersection. Natsume Akira dies after being taken to the hospital. However, 16 years later in 2030, EX-ARM "No. 00", the unit containing Natsume Akira's brain, is discovered. Natsume Akira is confiscated by the police as an EX-ARM with large-scale hacking capabilities, but he has no memory of what happened after the accident. He is then assigned to the EX-ARM Countermeasures Division after Shiga places significant restrictions on his abilities.
Case File No. 2: EX-ARM's First Contact "Olympic Terrorism"
A large-scale simultaneous terrorist attack using a new type of bomb that occurred at 4:38 on June 28, 2020. It caused over 2 million casualties and missing persons, and greatly changed the security situation in Japan. However, these are just the official announcements, and the truth is that 17 percent of Tokyo's total area was instantly wiped out by a mysterious high energy accompanied by a powerful electromagnetic pulse from EX-ARM. These are considered to be the first contacts of EX-ARM, and it is speculated that all EX-ARMs, including Akira Natsume's EX-ARM "No. 00", were involved. As a result of this incident, Japan was abandoned by the world's financial markets and lost its position as a developed country.
Case File No. 3: Serial suicide bombing terrorist incident "No. 9 Incident"
Serial suicide bombing terrorist incidents occurred in Tokyo. Similar incidents have occurred frequently recently, and the characteristic of these incidents is that "people without any bombs suddenly explode." The targets were mainly people who were deeply involved in the Tokyo Bay Megafloat concession, and the people who became the bombs were poor residents. The terrorists' demand was to stop the construction of the Tokyo Bay Megafloat, and the EX-ARM used in that incident was No.09, which had the ability to create a bomb by changing the composition of the human body's internal substances.
Outcome of the Incident
The Task Force was called in to rescue the street children who had been turned into bombs by flash freezing them with liquid nitrogen, but in the meantime, the next terrorist attack occurred. The Task Force identified the culprit from the words and actions of the person who had turned them into bombs. The culprit had somehow brainwashed poor residents into bombs. In the end, the bomb was detonated remotely, and the location was identified from the remote range, and the Task Force employee Kondo shot and killed him. However, No.09 did not have the ability to brainwash others, and even the culprit had been brainwashed by someone else and had his memory rewritten, so they were unable to find the mastermind behind it.
Case File No. 4: Sexaroid Brothel Raid
An incident in which four employees and bodyguards of a sexaroid brothel and seven androids were destroyed. However, at the scene, the android, made of tungsten alloy, was cut with a sharp blade, and the perpetrator was equipped with an EX-ARM "No. 17" leg blade. The area where the investigation was conducted was named after the joint base camp created by the participating countries of the United Nations forces after the Olympic terrorist attacks, and was an area where extraterritoriality was applied. As a result, Akira is unable to make any major moves, and in order to get a clue, he goes inside Alma and infiltrates a sexaroid brothel.
Outcome of the incident①
The perpetrator of the attack is Rean Varius, a doctor in the Republic of Muanji. He lost his fiancee and her daughter in the Muanji massacre that took place in the Republic of Muanji in 2026, and participated in the subsequent revolution. Rean's goal was to kill President Morau, who carried out the massacre, and the android Elmira.
Outcome of the incident②
Rean and the Task Force corner Morau and Elmira, but the two bring out a bipedal tank and begin indiscriminately attacking civilians using the EX-ARM, which has space disappearance. In order to subdue the bipedal tank, the Task Force deploys the SA-class combat body "Ogre", which is No.00's trump card, to subdue it. Afterwards, it turns out that Morau is already brain dead and is only connected to Elmira through a brain implant, and Elmira is only faithfully carrying out the command to protect her master. In the end, Elmira self-destructs when Akira rewrites her GPS location, but her actions cause chaos in the world.
Case File No. 5: The Muanji Massacre
A massacre that took place in the Republic of Muanji in 2026. President Morau was nicknamed "Head Hunter Morau" because he massacred citizens who rebelled against him and used the space disappearance EX-ARM "No. 13" to erase his head and above. Later, the government was overthrown by a coup, but Morau escaped by making a deal with Japan. At this time, it is said that Japan accepted the asylum due to vested interests, although it received a lot of criticism from the international community.
Case File 6: The Bardeen Republic Royal Family Attack and Plant Attack
A terrorist incident that occurred in the Bardeen Republic in 2022, eight years ago. An incident in which Al-Jaad's relatives were assassinated by a missile carried by an unmanned drone. On the surface, it was a terrorist act of retaliation, but the truth was that Hayama Masakuni, the head of the Japanese company Jinkokusha, had funneled weapons and funds to a terrorist organization. At the time, Al-Jaad's uncle had been blocking foreign capital from entering the country, and the Republic of Bardeen, which had lost its uncle, had its plant business taken over by a Japanese company.
Plant Raid Incident
The construction of the plant carried out by a Japanese company was far from what was originally planned, as the Japanese company had embezzled construction costs and cut corners. However, the Japanese company's engineers, outraged by this, were planning to make an internal complaint. One of those engineers was Minami's father, Kamizono Kazuma. Together with their fellow engineers and Al-Jaad, they were trying to expose the company's higher-ups, but to stop information from leaking out, all the engineers, including Minami's parents, were killed. However, Minami's younger brother, Souma, barely survived and underwent a full-body cybernetic surgery to stay alive.
