Division 2 is on duty at the International Labor Show. Asuma takes Noa's movement disk to test out the new economy model. But then, the Griffon is unleashed. He beats up Asuma and Ota. Noa enters the fight after getting her disk back, but the Griffon retreats since it was raining.
In the future, advanced robotics has created heavy robots ("labors") for use in a variety of functions: construction, fire-fighting, military, and more. However, though the robots are only machines, their operators are also only human - and humans sometimes turn to crime. Since a heavy labor unit can be a dangerous weapon, the police of the future are set to fight fire with fire, using advanced patrol labor units, "patlabors". This is the story of the Second Special Vehicles Division, a motley crew of patlabor policemen and -women doing their best to fight crime and live a normal life. (Source: Anime News Network)
