A man with a gun for a head takes cases nobody else will touch. The premise is pure genre pulp, but the show cracks it open to ask something heavier: what happens to your humanity when your body stops being yours. Juuzou doesn't emote because he can't remember how to be human anymore, and his deadpan refusal to perform feeling becomes the most human thing in a city built on turning people into tools. The noir atmosphere holds even when the plot stumbles. This is for people who want cyberpunk that remembers to be about people getting erased, not just about cool guns.
In a post-war city crawling with Extends, modified humans weaponized beyond recognition, Juuzou scrapes by as a problem-solver for those caught between humanity and machinery. His own body is a walking contradiction: his head is literally a gun, yet the trigger sits behind him, useless without someone else's hand. He remembers nothing of who he was before the transformation, only the work that keeps him fed. He is helped by Mary, a sharp young woman he keeps under his protection. When a fugitive Extended bursts into his office carrying a boy and begging for help, Juuzou takes the job. Soon street thugs and the powerful Berühren Corporation are all after the child, and Juuzou sets out to learn why. This is gritty sci-fi action with a heavy dramatic streak.
