List of Busou Shinki episodes

Scene opens at night with a white shinki (Kaguya) and a dark shinki (Strarf) in an aerial battle with each other above the city. The white shinki is shot down and crashes on the top of a truck driving down a rural road. The white shinki attempts to stand and reveals a deep wound in her chest. She loses consciousness and collapses from her injuries. The scene changes to the boy Tsubasa who is dreaming of becoming a master of a shinki and staring longingly at the shinki figurines through a store window. Meanwhile the lifeless white shinki falls off the truck and is carried away by crows who finally drop her up in a tree. Tsubasa is walking home when he sees the small figure up in a tree, gleaming. He climbs the tree and gently retrieves the small lifeless shinki. The scene changes to an ominous dark room where a male silhouette is shown asking Strarf "a shinki to actually defy orders, be sure to bring her back". Strarf acknowledges with "yes master". Next scene is Tsubasa's bedroom where he is attempting to revive the white shinki with software downloaded from his computer. At first this seems unsuccessful but the figure slowly regains consciousness, but without any memories. He names her Kaguya and this imprints him as her new master. He repairs the physical damage to her and her armor as she joyfully learns simple things about the world. Meanwhile, the Strarf is shown with a pile of lifeless Arnval style shinki, stating "This is not her. Where are you?" The next morning Tsubasa takes Kaguya to Ken's hobby shop and he is told about a criminal that is destroying shinki in the area. Tsubasa enters Kaguya in a video game-like contest against another shinki at an arcade. Kaguya wins the match but loses control afterward damaging and almost destroying the other shinki and the venue. The crowd turns on her but she escapes the arcade and is confronted by Strarf. The two battle but during the battle Kaguya's armor turns from white to black revealing to Strarf that Kaguya is the dark Arnval type 01 she seeks. This so startles Kaguya that she surrenders to Strarf who takes her back to the institute. Meanwhile Ken explains to Tsubasa about the institute and the origin of Kaguya. They decide to rescue her from the institute. They arrive as chaos erupts with Kaguya who has turned dark, has again lost control and is shooting the place up. Tsubasa grabs her, stops her rampage and she changes color back to white. But the chaos has freed the institute's new giant gynoid robot named Athena. The institute workers identify her as incomplete, very dangerous, out of control and equipped with military grade armor. Athena calls to Strarf who then enters Athena's chest by compulsion and makes Athena fully operational. However Kaguya realizes this is a mistake and battles Athena eventually destroying her and freeing Strarf who she protects and regards as a younger "sister". The episode ends in Ken's hobby shop with Ken in a wheelchair and with a broken arm from the battle at the institute. He is being helped by Tsubasa, Kaguya and even Strarf happy and busy at work.
