It stars a young man named Ryo Takatsuki, who at the beginning of the series believes that he was in an accident causing his right arm to be severed from his body. However, as the story progresses, it is revealed that he was actually a test subject for experiments involving genetics and an "ARMS" nanomachine implant, along with 3 other youths.

00:00Even the most lethal of poisonous snakes is powerless if you cut off its head.
00:19Rather than fighting pointless minor battles, we should take out the enemy command post.
00:24What's that mean?
00:26You're right. So what's the plan?
00:28Well, we'll be more effective if we all split up.
00:31Ryo, you're the first battalion.
00:34Me?
00:34I think we'll all agree that the enemy's primary goal will be to locate and secure your arms and Jabberwock.
00:41There's going to be a lot of people out there looking for you, and that's why...
00:46Kay and Yugo will be with you.
00:47What?
00:49Ryo will be needing your support to help him control his powers under duress, so just don't let me down.
00:55Right! You can count on me!
00:57Damn, what a pain in my ass.
01:00Battalion 2 will consist of Hayato and Juzo.
01:03Hmm. You got it.
01:04And Al and Carol.
01:06What? You mean I'm stuck babysitting these little pukes?
01:10Hmph. It's not our fault you're immature.
01:13Yeah, so just grow up already, will ya?
01:17These two are hardly your average children.
01:20That's your assignment, so quit whining.
01:24And last but not least, there's Battalion 3, Takeshi and me.
01:28He and I will be working on a separate special mission.
01:30Huh?
01:31I need your help.
01:34I'm not gonna be able to do this without you, kid.
01:38Everybody got that?
01:40Now our first assignment is to locate the enemy command post.
01:43You go.
01:44We'll need you to use your powers to link us all telepathically.
01:47Sure!
01:47Good. It's time for less talk and more action.
01:51You all have your assignments?
01:53Move out!
03:34So he was a birthday present, huh?
03:36Lucky you.
03:37Yeah, I'm seven years old today.
03:40We're having a huge party over at my house.
03:42My mom promised she'd make all of my favorite foods, too.
03:46Wow!
03:46Sounds like you got quite an evening planned out.
03:49Happy birthday, kid.
03:51Thanks, mister.
03:52I hope we make it home in time.
03:55The party starts at seven.
03:56I don't know.
03:58The lights are acting weird.
04:01I wonder if the time is broken.
04:03They've been red for a while now.
04:06Hmm.
04:07The radio's on the fridge, too.
04:09I can't call in and find out what's going on.
04:11But, papa, mama will be waiting for us.
04:15But, papa, mama will be waiting for us.
04:15But, papa, mama will be waiting for us.
04:15That came from Main Street!
04:43How awful.
04:48Misa, did you hear that?
04:50Yes.
04:51Unfortunately, we've got a prime view as well.
04:54It's begun.
04:56Welcome to the snark hunt.
05:00Unbelievable.
05:02Those slimy bastards.
05:04They rigged the traffic lights so those people would be trapped.
05:09Misa, what else can you tell us about this snark hunt?
05:13I seem to remember hearing about it in the 80s.
05:18Right.
05:19Operation Snark Hunt was conducted in 1987.
05:23It took place in the Targus Republic, in the Middle East.
05:26The original government used it to reclaim control and get their own men back in office.
05:30They preyed on the people's fears, making them revert to their baser instincts.
05:37It's a simple but effective form of psychological manipulation.
05:40Instead of welcoming the revolutionary government they had so desperately needed, they turned on it and destroyed it.
05:55Operation Snark Hunt was the brainchild of Colonel Gantz Gahl.
05:59He was an expert in military psychological strategy.
06:01But even then, he was over 80 years old.
06:05He must be either dead or retired by now.
06:07The time has come.
06:26Time to go to war.
06:30Cut the bureaucratic bullshit already and mobilize all available police units!
06:35Watch your tone, Capito.
06:37We can't do anything until all the media communications have been restored.
06:42We need more information before we can...
06:45Get your fat ass on the phone and use your goddamn covert connections and get it!
06:49I... I don't know what you mean!
06:53You son of a bitch!
06:54I know all about your involvement with the Egregory.
06:57How they told you to stay out of the way until this is over.
07:00Close your eyes to whatever's happening and then bury all the fucking evidence!
07:04I have no idea what you're talking about!
07:06Don't you play dumb with me!
07:08Is it really worth the big fat promotion they promised you
07:11if every man, woman and child in this town ends up getting killed?
07:15Sir, the TV is back online!
07:17Huh?
07:17So, are any of the local channels back up, or...?
07:20No, just the cable networks.
07:22The mayor's on the news, but he's acting strange.
07:26Uh, greetings, citizens of Isora.
07:30Currently, the city is, uh...
07:32completely cut off from the outside world.
07:36We have been temporarily taken over by a military force of unknown origin.
07:43Your safety is guaranteed.
07:46We're all safe.
07:47Right?
07:48Stay calm now!
07:50Huh?
07:50Please!
07:51Oh, no!
07:53Citizens of Isora!
07:55There's your guarantee!
07:57We decide whether you live or die.
08:01Never forget who is in control here.
08:04The name is Gantz.
08:06Colonel Gantz Gaw!
08:08Now then, our reason for being here is really quite simple.
08:17We demand that these nine people be turned over to us.
08:22If they have not been remanded into our custody by midnight tonight, we will attack the city and kill everyone in sight.
08:30Whoa.
08:31That is so wrong.
08:33They're turning the entire city against us.
08:36I see.
08:36I see.
08:38So that's a snark hunt.
08:41And here's a little added incentive from us, just in case.
08:45If our demands are not met, we will execute nine randomly selected hostages at the initial bomb site.
08:53No!
08:54Papa!
08:55The aroma of blood and gunpowder, the crisp, charred air of the battlefield, it's so rejuvenating!
09:10I feel myself being reborn.
09:12One by one, my tired old cells come back to life.
09:16The Aggregory are gods among men.
09:18They gave me the weaponry I needed to realize my dream and the younger body to make sure I could see it through.
09:28That does it.
09:29I am going to rip off each one of their heads and piss in their skulls.
09:32No!
09:33Don't be an idiot!
09:34Go with them now and you'll get killed!
09:35Let go!
09:36You're acting like a great big baby, Hayato.
09:39Would you please chill out?
09:40Don't give me an excuse to kick your ass, geek boy!
09:46Hayato, I want you to listen to me.
09:48The children are right.
09:50If the Red Caps find out their strategy is working, then even more will die.
09:55Do they understand?
09:58I know it's hard, but you must learn to endure.
10:01Be still.
10:08Yes, sir.
10:13Please!
10:13Get out of my way!
10:16Don't hurt her!
10:17Let my daughter go!
10:19Take me instead!
10:20I'm begging you!
10:33No!
10:35Papa!
10:37You're not going anywhere.
10:40One more word and you'll join your daddy in the afterlife, girly.
10:44Heh heh heh heh heh heh.
10:49Huh?
10:50Huh?
10:52You fucking bastards!
10:54That's enough!
10:56Leave them alone!
10:58You want a piece of me?
11:00Then give it your best shot, asshole!
11:03And when you get to hell, you can tell him Hayato Shingu is the one of Senshou!
11:08No!
11:09No!
11:12Oh...
11:12No!
11:13Oh!
11:14No!
11:14What's that?
11:19Yeah!
11:21No!
11:22Just watch me, kid. I'll get even for you.
11:39Don't touch me.
11:45Don't cry.
11:46Somebody help me!
11:47What the hell is that thing?
11:49Is that some kind of sword?
11:51Holy shit! I think it's part of his arm!
11:54No. Wait a sec.
11:57Citizens of Isora City, he is Hayato Shingu, one of the nine criminals we're looking for.
12:05You can all see for yourselves that he is no ordinary human being.
12:09His body houses a very dangerous weapon.
12:12A weapon made by extreme genetic mutation.
12:16He's a member of a group called ARMS, and they should all be considered dangerous.
12:20Our mission? Protect you from these horrific creatures.
12:24So I ask of you, turn these nine traitors over to us and save yourselves!
12:29Hayato, get out of there!
12:31Run!
12:33You son of a bitch! This whole damn thing is your fault, you big freak!
12:37Get out of here!
12:39He's right! Get the hell out of our city!
12:42Wait! You don't understand!
12:44I'm not...
12:45Hey, you! If we turn this mutant over to you, you'll leave us all alone, right?
12:49That's right. All we want are the nine criminals.
12:51Well, what are we waiting for?
12:54Get the bastard!
12:55Get out of here!
12:56Yeah, take us somewhere!
12:57Death to the mutant!
12:58Death!
13:02We aren't afraid of you!
13:06Stop! Stop!
13:07Nothing like a few ringers to speed things along.
13:13How many are there?
13:14Ha ha ha! Less than you think.
13:17The Gantz theory of mob mathematics.
13:20When one person takes action, three follow him.
13:23When three people take action, they can influence an entire dozen!
13:27Fear and anger are wonderful tools for manipulating the masses.
13:31They're nothing more than a pack of pathetic vermin.
13:34That makes the redcaps like cats, toying with the rats until they can get their paws on the arms.
13:43Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
13:53Will you guys knock it off?
13:56I don't want to fight you, you morons!
13:59That's enough already!
14:00Leave him to us! We'll take care of him!
14:03Wait, no!
14:05Twist and turn!
14:08Oh!
14:08Ah!
14:11Don't just stand there!
14:13Buckle up! Time to burn some rubber!
14:18Hang on! Wait a minute!
14:20Do you even know how to drive?
14:22Are you kidding?
14:23This is just like one of those arcade games!
14:26Ah!
14:27Ah!
14:27Ah!
14:33All I can say, Al, is that you must really, really suck at video games!
14:41Ah, well, at least he managed to lose that crowd.
14:45Now listen up.
14:46Our job just got quite a bit harder.
14:49You moron!
14:51I always knew you were stupid, but I had no idea you were downright retarded!
14:55You just guaranteed they'll hand our butts over to the redcaps!
14:59Ha!
15:00Ha!
15:01Ha!
15:01You know, I don't blame her for getting scared.
15:04I was taking on the Egregori long before I even met Ryo and Takeshi
15:13I hunted them all down and I killed them
15:19Payback for killing my parents
15:22I wanted... no, I needed power
15:27Then there was Jabberwock
15:34God, how I envied Ryo
15:37Vengeance would be so easy if I had strength like his
15:42I craved that kind of power
15:45Even after, even after I saw how much pain it caused him
15:52The look in her eyes when she saw me using my arms
16:04The girl knew
16:08She could see right through me
16:11She saw how evil I am
16:14How filled with hate
16:16I'm just...
16:21Oh, Hayato, I understand
16:24My heart aches as yours does
16:27That's how I know you're not a bad person
16:30Your tears show your kind heart
16:33You've come a long way, my dear boy
16:36Up until a few weeks ago, all you ever thought about was getting your revenge
16:41Whoever thought we'd see you seeking vengeance on someone else's behalf
16:46I'm proud of you, Hayato
16:49You're doing just fine
16:52Yeah, do you think so?
16:56I guess there's a first time for everything, old man
16:59Hey, Ryo, quit whacking off and get back to work
17:04Hayato, where are you?
17:06Listen up, I'll keep those dipshit redcaps busy for a while
17:10You and the girls go find the main command center
17:12What?
17:16Hayato, let it be suicide
17:17Not if I can help it
17:19Besides, we can't just sit here with our thumbs up our butts
17:22I never want to see anything like that again, ever
17:26You've picked a very dangerous task for yourself, Hayato
17:30You're telling me
17:33Don't you worry about a thing, believe me, this is gonna be fun
17:36Well, there's my ride
17:42Good luck, old man
17:43I'll have to leave the babysitting to you
17:46Don't be stupid
17:47You can't go out there
17:49Not by yourself
17:50Huh?
17:51You are the heir to the Shingu school
17:54I can't let anything bad happen to you
17:56And besides, why should only you get to have all the fun?
18:01Honestly, use your brain for once, Lamert
18:03The more decoys we have, the better our chances
18:06I bet my psychokinesis will help, too
18:09Thanks, I mean it
18:11Besides, you couldn't find your own butt with two hands and a flashlight
18:16Ow!
18:17I swear, you're all dumber than a box of rocks
18:20I can't believe you're volunteering to become one of Japan's most wanted
18:24Well, let's get this show on the road
18:28Time to play one seriously twisted game of tag
18:32We gotta find him!
18:34Where the hell is he?
18:37Keep searching!
18:39He can't have gotten that far!
18:47Let's dance!
18:49Simon says you are all going to die!
18:52There he is!
18:54He's only one kid!
18:55Go get the little bastard!
18:56Twisted game of tag
18:59What is...
19:04What is...
19:05You little...
19:11Fools!
19:16These idiots have got you doing their dirty work for them
19:19Maybe a Shingu-style ass-whippin' will open your eyes.
19:26What? Scared of an old man?
19:31That bastard. He's ruining everything.
19:36Guess what, soldier boy? You're it.
19:44Well, I think that's our cue.
19:46Looks like we better get moving.
19:51Wait a sec.
19:52Yes?
19:53Why me? Why did you pick me?
19:56My arms isn't really that powerful. I'm only gonna slow you down.
20:02Hey now, that isn't true.
20:05I took everything into consideration.
20:07The layout of the battlefield, the size of the opposing forces, adaptability under duress.
20:13You were the most suitable candidate of the bunch.
20:16What?
20:17The truth of the matter is, I really need your help, and you're the only one who can do it.
20:23I need you to help me find something.
20:26Find something?
20:27That's right. And it's probably hidden over there.
20:30I saw a tower.
20:34I saw a tower. The tallest and most centrally located building in the city.
20:40It's comprised of a hotel and a large shopping center.
20:44More than likely, there's a bomb planted in there.
20:46We've got to find it before it goes off.
20:49But that's insane. They wouldn't...
20:51Yes, they would.
20:52They chose that building because it's the perfect base for the cleanup operations.
20:57What do you mean?
20:58I saw it in 1987, back when Colonel Gantz Gaul was conducting his first snark hunt.
21:05That's for part two of his master plan.
21:07Listen, to suppress any future uprisings, they killed off all of the people left in the city.
21:15Buildings and other structures were all left intact.
21:18Only the living creatures were incinerated.
21:19It's a terrifyingly accurate weapon of annihilation.
21:24Then they repopulated the capital and rebuilt it as if nothing had ever happened.
21:29And this time, I have no doubt they're going to want to keep what happened here under wraps too.
21:33That's sick!
21:35You may not want to hear this, but those bombs are most effective when detonated from high altitudes.
21:41I won't do it!
21:43There's no way! I'm too scared to move!
21:46I... I can't! I just can't!
21:49I'm not like Ryo and Hayato. I don't have that kind of courage!
21:58No, maybe you're not brave like those two are.
22:02But the way that you fight, the reasons you fight, that's why I picked you to be my partner.
22:08What? Courage?
22:10Are you kidding? I'm almost too scared to move myself.
22:14But I have to.
22:15I can't just sit back and watch all those innocent people get killed.
22:19Especially not my own son.
22:23So...
22:24I fight.
22:26I fight because I love you all.
22:29That's the way I've always fought.
22:31Courage has nothing to do with it.
22:34I have to.
22:36I'll try.
22:37Stay down.
22:44It's showtime.
22:45Don't worry. You'll be fine.
22:47I'm gonna help you.
22:50Together we'll draw out your true power.
22:52You'll be fine.
22:55Thanks for votre says!
22:58You will be fine.
23:07Turn it to you.
23:08You'll be fine.
23:09You will be fine.
23:12I want nothing to do with the love of one
23:18I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
23:25I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone
23:31I'm alone, in my heart
23:37当たり前の夢 存在していたね
23:47君と歩いてく日々に 偶然重ね続けた
23:55うるまいの輪にしてく そんなイメージを
24:02描いてゆこう 揺れながら染めないで
24:08変わらない声で Please call my name
24:14太思い出したように Call my name
24:20見えない気持ち 信じてしまいそう
