In 2019, Kaito Yashio and Akiho Senomiya are the sole members of the Robotics Club at Central Tanegashima High School in Kyushu, Japan. Kaito is a laid back student and a skilled gamer who is just trying to help Akiho, his childhood friend. She is an energetic positive-thinking girl who yearns to complete the ongoing project of the club: building a functional replica of Gunvarrel, the main robot of a once popular TV series. As they gather new members and try to assemble the robot, Kaito starts stumbling upon secret reports that might reveal a conspiracy of large proportions. Unaware of what he is actually dealing with, Kaito little by little starts discovering clues laid by the mysterious Ko Kimijima.

I Love Giant Robots!The gang complete the construction of the GunPro-2, using the monopole motors and a laser-activated fuelling system, and successfully put it through its first activation test. Shortly afterwards, though, Nae informs the group that they will be unable to use JAXA for a week as there are plans to launch a rocket. Whilst Kaito goes off to search for Kikijima's next report, the others run more tests on the GunPro-2, where Junna notices something odd about its walk cycle. As Subaru runs alongside it to figure out what is wrong, a sudden gust of wind sends the robot toppling towards him. Meanwhile, as Kaito finds the location of the seventh report, Mizuka confronts him, warning him not to pursue the reports. Just then, Kagome Kagome once again plays on their Pokecoms and a strange noise plays upon Mizuka answering it, causing her robotic legs to go out of control and work her towards a cliff edge. - 02
Gunvarrel Takeoff!Whilst everyone else works on fixing up the GunBuild-1, Kaito, Nae and Airi head to Kimijima's lab to retrieve data for the device Sawada gave him, although Kaito undergoes a seizure when he attempts to activate it. Just then, they are confronted by some armed droids run by Kimijima and Sister Centipede. However, Sister Centipede manages to have the droids shoot each other, only to be erased by Kimijima shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, as Akiho and the others complete the GunBuild-1, which she renames the Super GunBuild-1, she reunites with Ken'ichirō before learning of Kaito's condition. Despite his injuries, Kaito insists that he be Super GunBuild-1's operator, believing that the device Sawada gave him can trigger his Slow-Mo at will, giving him a chance against the Sumeragi. Akiho objects, however, believing using the device could kill him. Kaito assures her that he will help her meet Misa face-to-face again, giving her the Slow-Mo trigger. - 03
The Flag Has Been ClearedAs Kona becomes intrigued by rumors of Gunvarrel's last episode being leaked, she and Kaito go to solve the conditions for unlocked Kimijima's 3rd report, finding the tasks pretty tedious. As Kaito manages to beat the Kill-Ballad cheater whilst passing the time, Kona gets infected with a virus whilst trying to analyse the data. Later that night, Kaito tries to get information about Kimijima out of Mizuka, whilst Misa is sent by her higher-ups to investigate Kimijima's reports. The next day, after the gang use Kanna to record motions for the GunPro-2, Kaito and Kona manage to unlock the third report, which talks about plans to use a magnetic storm to destroy mankind, mentioning Misa's Exoskeleton company as being part of it. Upon arriving back home, Kona learns that the top three ranked Kill Ballad players had in fact died in their homes half a year ago.
