Season overview

Haruto Tokishima is a student from Sakimori High School living on a Dyson sphere known as Module 77. When a Dorssian invasion takes over the rest of JIOR, Haruto discovers a mysterious and powerful mecha called Valvrave and uses it to defend the module. After learning that both Dorssia and the ARUS intend to claim the Valvrave for themselves without concern for the students' lives, the students of Sakimori High declare Module 77 an independent state and abandon JIOR territory. Soon afterward, several other Valvraves are found inside the school, and some of them are claimed by other students who join Haruto's fight to protect the module. Haruto is later approached by L-elf Karlstein, a Dorssian spy who claims to intend to stage a revolution in his own country one day. The two form an unlikely alliance to secure the sovereignty of their newfound nation, which is officially recognized as New JIOR.
