Synopsis:

Following the aftermath of a significant political upheaval, the remaining members of a specialized Patlabor unit find their individual paths diverging. Kiichi Gotou, however, continues his service alongside Shinobu Nagumo, harboring unspoken feelings for her. A growing wave of unrest across Japan fuels public distrust in the military, as a clandestine organization leverages internal vulnerabilities to incite chaos. As the threat escalates, Nagumo uncovers a deeply personal connection to the movement’s orchestrator: Yukihito Tsuge, a former mentor and former lover. Gotou's efforts to reunite his team, now led by the skilled pilot Noa Izumi, become crucial in confronting Tsuge. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, past relationships, and the complexities of duty within a fractured society as Nagumo navigates her history to prevent national instability.
