VIRUS ‐VIRUS BUSTER SERGE‐

In the year 2097, Neo Hong Kong is a society where genetic and cybernetic advancements have led to the coexistence of enhanced humans and intelligent machines. However, this progress has also introduced a new danger: digital viruses that can take control of their hosts. STAND, an elite task force, is responsible for confronting these threats using advanced armored cybernetic suits called "variable gears." During the unveiling of a prototype gear, it becomes infected with a new virus, forcing STAND to deal with the rogue machine. A mysterious figure named Serge appears and draws the attention of STAND's leader, Raven. Impressed by Serge's potential, Raven has him fitted with a variable gear, awakening his hidden combat abilities. Serge successfully defeats the infected prototype and is offered a place in STAND. His sudden strength and mysterious past, along with his possible link to the autonomous orbital station "Incubator," remain unexplained.
