EP1:
The episode opens with the academy class (Rebex, Cleo, Aura, Briana, Arrow) breaking the fourth wall in charming, distinct voices to introduce themselves — playful, fast, and immediately endearing. They feel like a tight-knit, fun group right away.
Rebex: "Hi everyone, my name is Rebex, I am a prodigy at the C.H.O School! My strength is that I can remember even the most "minute" details of anything & forget them in just "minutes!"
Then he stares at the screen expecting a response.
"C'mon say something."
Cut to
Cleo: "My name is Cleo, I am one of the prodigy hunters of class XII-E, My strength relies in analytical & deductive reasoning. While I may not be the strongest, I... like cats..."
Briana: "Helloooo everybody! My name is Briana, my strength is agility & empathy, I am glad to be here in the C.H.O school, I hope I can be a successful cyborg hunter!"
Aura: "Hi my name is Aura, I want to protect & be protected. I have core strength & speed. Did he just- Nevermind."
Arrow: "Hiya my name is Arrow, I want to spread kindness and purity as much as I can! I love chocolates & cheesecakes! And you know I also have this knack of-"
Rebex screams from behind: "We're giving an interview bro!"
Arrow: "Right right... Oh yes and my strength is explosive kicks & believing in love!"
The tone snaps hard in the second scene: a brutal cyborg attacks and overpowers the entire class, slamming them around and subtly planting rackers on their bodies (backs/skin) during the physical struggle and close grapples. Weapons are shattered; the class is down in puddles of blood and rain, helpless.
Rebex the last person standing thinking: "The cyborgs seal their circuits when... when.... AHHH!"
The cyborgs lifts him up and throws him away.
Just as things turn fatal, silver-haired Daniel arrives late. He first saves Aura, his feet dragging the street, upon stopping he puts her aside gently, as he does this, -
(Signature of Daniel Vossler): A black and white glitch that takes place on Daniel for a single frame, almost like the whole show turned into black and white silhouettes, and Daniel's eyes turned white. Then the show returned to normal after a single frame.
Then he gets up slowly.
The cyborg kicks him hard in the stomach — Daniel flies far, crashes in mud, clutching his gut, blood dripping from his mouth.
It's raining. The cyborg's armor triggers its rain-lock mechanism (click-whirr, circuits sealing against wet). The cyborg stiffens, guard down, thinking it's safe. Daniel rises slowly, one leg jerking, barely able to walk, holding his stomach. In a soft, loving voice, he says: "Now it's my turn..." and limps forward.
The cyborg smirks ("stupid meatbag"). Suddenly, short-circuit sparks erupt — the cyborg glitches ("IMPOSSIBLE!"), smoke hissing in rain. Daniel closes in, punches its face hard (metal dent, mud splatter), grabs its chin, and forces it to look into his wide eyes. Silently points to a parrot in a metal cage under a nearby shed.
Flashback to a few minutes before slow motion looping clips:
The cyborg kicking Daniel, while being kicked he put a small magnet inside his armor's torso. For 5 seconds Split screen: Now the cyborg locking it's armor, and a "Tring!" sound plays. But the parrot locked in the cage under the shed made that sound. Not his armor.
Return to present:
The cyborg collapses, smoking and dead. Daniel stares as it dies — then collapses crying on the ground, hugging the smoking chassis, sobbing "wrong" in a shattered voice. Tears mix with rain and oil, and body shaking. The class watches in horror and confusion from the puddles thinking — "Who is this crying kid who just saved us?"
Then Daniel gets up in the light rain, and goes towards the parrot and frees it from it's cage.
The students were utterly confused.
Cyborg hunters arrive behind the students for "rescue." Everyone glances back: only the dead cyborg remains in the rain — Daniel has vanished. The Ghost myth is born in real time.
Fragmented flashbacks (no Daniel face shown only from behind): young Daniel helping strangers, feeding people, admiring Achlys on TV with his mom ("He's saving us!"), solving the Ghost Cube in 30 seconds (only hands shown)(letters put on the table aside subtly spell friends' strengths).
Zavinx promises to investigate the mysterious Daniel.
Scene switches to Grace's home knocking. She opens the door. Two cyborg hunting associates
ask for Daniel. She kicks and defeats them on the spot. Then the real associates arrive and are shocked to see what's going on. We understand now that the first associates were cyborg supporters who wanted to hunt Daniel down. The real C.H associates ask her how she knew. She tells them the "Ghost" told her. They become terrified.
Scene switch to a classroom where Zavinx the class teacher of Rebex, Cleo, Briana, Aura, Arrow and other students. "Cyborg Hunter Organization" written on each of their formal uniforms.
Zavinx pulls out a controller and aims it behind him to start a futuristic TV on. A ghost-like being walking in the dead streets of the city Huema Station 8. "The city where the most borgification factories are allegedly located. But near impossible to locate. And people suspect that this being is either the only known escapee or a huge threat to human beings."
Scene switch again to Grace's home, the Associates sitting on floating stools and Grace tells them Achlys wants to kill Daniel and he's in constant danger. Associate still skeptic, ask how he knew about the cyborg attacking them, Daniel comes out from a dark room then falls headfirst and lies there for 5 seconds, then gets up and answers like nothing happened. Daniel tells them he realised there was a tracker in Aura's back attached. The cyborg must have attached it while beating them. Daniel was lured in by this attack on them. Cyborg hunting associate: "why did you fall for this?"
Daniel: "To save them."
Classroom scene:
Rebex, Cleo, Briana, Aura, Arrow holding letters in different ways.
Rebex first in School backyard, he looks at the letter happy but crying a bit, reading it "My best friend. Stay flawed. We all are."
Corridoor:
Cleo looking at the letter too (from 2 years ago) "He knew us before we even discovered ourselves"
Park bench:
Arrow: "We honed exactly these strengths and weaknesses"
School classroom corner
Aura: "And it helped us clear our entrance exam for CH school too."
Scene changes to them meeting in class holding letters talking then suddenly Daniel opens the door, everyone stares at Daniel with awe. Rebex with tears in eyes, but confused.
Daniel: "Strip. All of you! Now!"
