Humans have always been fascinated by the concept of life and have tried to create or preserve it again and again. Not only have we created robots but also weapons of mass destruction.

The story of Ex-Arm is born from a fascination with trying to preserve a human even after death.

The action kicks off as a student who was supposed to be dead is found converted into a weapon of high intelligence.
