‘Mecha-Ude’ follows Hikaru Amatsuga, a young boy who comes across a strange mechanical arm. To his surprise, said arm turns out to be sentient. As it turns out, the arm, Arma, is actually a ‘Mecha-Ude,” and not just any Mecha-Ude, but one that has been dormant for 100 years.
The two of them team up alongside Aki Murasame, a girl with her own Mecha-udes, who joins an organization, “ARMS,” which is at war with “Kagami Group,” who is bent on taking away every Mecha-Ude for their gain.
