An EX-ARM auction is organized by an individual who calls themselves "Auctioneer." Criminal groups from all across the world flock to the Megafloat hoping to get their hands on them.

The Counter Squad is asked by the government to investigate the auction undercover as the bodyguards of Jinkokusha, the leading group in the Japanese underworld. They are immediately dragged into an inter-group conflict, and Akira loses consciousness in combat. When he wakes up, he's greeted by Auctioneer.
The demonic light that destroyed Japan.
...الضوء الشيطانيّ الذي دمّر اليابان
Das teuflische Licht, das Japan verwüstete …
La luz demoníaca que destruyó Japón.
La luz demoníaca que destruyó Japón.
La lumière du diable
qui a anéanti le Japon.
La luce demoniaca che ha portato
 il Giappone alla rovina...
A luz demoníaca que
destruiu o Japão...
Дьявольский свет,
который разрушил Японию.
