Texhnolyze

Ichise is a prize fighter in the city of Lux. When a meeting with a hired woman goes awry, he is tracked down by a member of Organ—who cruelly severs his right arm.

In a fit of blind rage, Ichise tries to attack and loses his left leg to the same blade. Left to live in his mutilated state, he drags himself through the alleyways.

Ichise wakes up in a lab where a beautiful doctor has taken him in and prepares a set of new limbs for him using a new experimental Texhnolyze process. Elsewhere, men from the Alliance attempt to assassinate one of Organ’s top men, Onishi.

Yoshi analyzes the politics of Lux and the switch in leadership from the Elder of Gabe to Onishi. Meanwhile, the doctor performs the operation on Ichise—who isn’t ready to accept his new lease on life just yet.

Disoriented from the procedure’s effect on his body, Ichise escapes from Doc’s lab before he is fully adjusted to his new limbs and distorted vision. Then he gets a brutal greeting from Ishii on the streets—but he may have a follower on his side.

After wrecking her car on a desolate highway, Doc meets a man from outside the city. Ichise finally realizes the strength of his texhnolyzed parts, and proves he has the mettle to confront the man who put him in his position.
