Plot[]
Kaito Yashio and his friend Akiho Senomiya are the remaining members of their school's Robot Research Club. After Akiho hands in a budget request to the staff room, both she and Kaito, who spends his time playing games on his PokeCom device, visit an old hangar containing a large robot the Robotics Club has been working on since its foundation, GunBuild-1, based on a popular robot anime, Mobile Battler Gunvarrel, whose final episode was never aired.
The next day, Vice Principal Kaoruko Usui agrees to give the Robot Research Club their proposed budget on the condition that they win a robot tournament taking place in two week's time, with the club to disband should they lose. As Kaito and Akiho contemplate if they can pull off such a feat, a mysterious girl is seen making a report.
