EP 1Kaito and Akiho face a robot tournament deadline to save their club
Oct 12, 2012Kaito Yashio and Akiho Senomiya are the sole remaining members of their school's Robotics Club. After submitting a budget request, they visit an old hangar to inspect GunBuild-1, a large robot modeled after the unfinished anime Gunvarrel. The vice-principal grants the requested funds only if the club wins a robot tournament scheduled in two weeks, threatening disbandment upon failure. As the pair considers the difficulty of this challenge, a mysterious girl is observed filing a report.
EP 2Kaito and Akiho secure parts for the Tanegashi Machine robot despite high costs and control challenges.
Oct 19, 2012Kaito and Akiho locate the dormant Tanegashi Machine robot in storage but discover its batteries are depleted. Akiho visits Tetsuharu 'Doc' Fujita to purchase replacement parts, only to find the prices prohibitively high. Kaito consults shopkeeper Mizuka Irei to identify Doc's vulnerabilities, hoping to negotiate a lower cost. This investigation leads Akiho to meet Doc's granddaughter, Junna Daitoku, though she offers little assistance. Akiho ultimately secures the necessary components using an advanced allowance, promising to repay the debt with tournament prize money. Following the repair, the pair focuses on controlling the unit. Kaito must also manage Akiho's "elephant mouse syndrome," a condition resulting from the S.S. Anemone Incident seven years ago that causes time to fast-forward for her. Recognizing her exhaustion, Kaito agrees to operate the robot, provided she designs the controls to resemble his preferred game, "Kill-Ballad."
EP 3Tanegashi Accel Impaaaact!
Oct 26, 2012Kaito, Akiho, and teacher Mitsuhiko Nagafukada attend the Robo-One tournament without lodging. During practice, Kaito feels a strange sensation.

Kaito experiences an inverse elephant-mouse syndrome, slowing time. He executes a counterattack dubbed Tanegashi Accel Impact, knocking both robots out. Kaito loses the best two out of three match. Later, he meets Kill Ballad creator Frau Koujiro. The vice-principal plans to disband the robotics club. Kaito proves Mr. Pleiades is classmate Subaru Hidaka. The school technically won, so disbandment is cancelled. Subaru joins the club to keep his secret. Akiho seeks JAXA help to complete GunBuild-1.

Nov 2, 2012Akiho attempts to secure financial backing from her father, Ken'ichirou Senomiya, president of the Tanegashima Space Center, for their giant robot initiative, but her mother dismisses the idea. Kaito assists transfer student Frau Koujiro, whose real name is Kona Furugouri, with moving into her dorm. Akiho also approaches Mitsuhiko’s uncle, who operates a candy factory, to request sponsorship. Meanwhile, Subaru enlists Kaito’s help for a Robo-One tournament in Las Vegas. When Subaru asks about Kaito’s past participation, he remembers an event on September 11, 2010, involving a mass fainting incident on a ferry where both he and Akiho contracted inverse variations of a specific syndrome. That evening, Kaito detects a mysterious voice from his Poke-Com, revealing a girl through its AR interface.
EP 5Kaito investigates a mysterious girl while uncovering a hidden report about solar catastrophe

Kaito and Junna visit the beach, where they find a beached whale, and he suggests she join the Robotics Club after leaving karate. That night, Kaito follows a strange voice to an abandoned building and meets Airi, an Iru-O app that has tried to contact him for 8 years. Airi shows him Kimijima's Report No. 1, written out of fear for his life. The document claims NASA discovered monopoles at the Sun's south pole in 2000 and covered it up. It predicts solar flares in 2012, 2015, and 2019, leading to an explosion in 2020. As Kaito questions the accuracy of these predictions, Mizuka reacts strangely when he mentions Kimijima.

The group meets Nae to persuade JAXA, where Subaru presents a report on the first run's failures and proposes an improved design. He incorporates Junna's idea to use augmented reality via Poke-Com to mimic Gunvarrel's appearance, removing the need for extra weight.

Akiho suffers an EMS seizure as the Sumeragi destroys GunBuild-2, prompting Kaito to protect her. They discover an obelisk, identified by Akiho as a space elevator from a leaked Gunvarrel episode. Sawada explains the structure was hidden by NoAH's Ark AR technology and that the solar flare news is propaganda for Project Atum. Misaki plans to launch black hole bombs from SERN at Tanegashima to create a magnetic storm. Sawada reveals Kimijima orchestrated the Kimijima Reports distraction and uses Misaki as a puppet. Kaito resolves to fight Misaki again, cheering Akiho. Meanwhile, Kona learns about her mother's death and is rescued by Nae, Sawada's ally.
