The Counter EX-ARM Squad heads to the Yokosuka Special Economic Zone to retrieve the EX-ARM held by the former president of the Mwange Republic, Jason Mraw, who has taken exile in Japan.
But his android, Elmira, shows up in a Bibot and uses an ability resembling that of an EX-ARM to stop them. Her attacks make her targets vanish, and Akira and the squad are powerless against it. That's when additional equipment sent by Shiga arrives at the scene.
Androids were still a sci-fi concept 
back in my day.
كان الرجال الآليّون مجرّد عناصر
في عالم الخيال العلميّ في عصري
Les androïdes n’étaient encore
qu’un concept de SF à mon époque.
nella mia epoca quello degli androidi 
era ancora un mondo di fantascienza.
androides ainda eram coisas de
ficção científica na minha época.
в моё время андроиды были
только научной фантастикой.
