ORIGIN 5
You got a death wish, Tanaka—?
To carry out his new central dogma—“protect Mai Hirose”—ORIGIN dons his exo-muscle armor and charges into battle against wave after wave of identical GON replicas. Victory seems within his grasp, until a powerful new foe bursts onto the scene. With the Kyoto A.I. Institute coming down around his ears, flight is ORIGIN’s only chance at survival—but for Mai’s sake, he will overcome his programming and fight on, armed with a new weapon:
an independent WILL…!

He is ORIGIN. And he is not what he seems.
