Orphan Amou Shiiba activates a rare Kenbu AMAIM with AI Gai to fight Oceanian mercenaries.

In the mid-20th century, due to economic collapse and a shrinking population, Japan became a failed state, necessitating foreign nations to intervene. However, this began a war between the competing foreign powers for control of Japan through the use of autonomous mecha units called AMAIMs in a conflict known as the Boundary War. By 2061, the war has long ended, but Japan remains divided into four occupied regions. Amou Shiiba is a young orphan who is slowly rebuilding an abandoned AMAIM he found. While scavenging for parts, he comes across an AI core containing an autonomous AI calling itself Gai who requests Amou save him before his battery runs out. Amou plugs Gai into his salvaged AMAIM, and Gai begins rebuilding it and learns it is a rare manned model called Kenbu. Meanwhile, Oceanian mercenaries falsely accuse Amou and his scavenger friends of terrorism, forcing him to pilot Kenbu to destroy the AMAIMs sent after him. (Source: Wikipedia)

Realizing his presence will only endanger the couple, Amou leaves in the middle of the night and borrows their son's abandoned fishing boat. As Amou and Gai leave Oceania's territory, they are ambushed by the Asian military. While Amou and Gai put up an effective fight, they are quickly outnumbered and pinned down until they receive assistance from another manned AMAIM. (Source: Wikipedia)
