Plot Summary

The first meeting between Jiro (Keisuke Koide) and the Cyborg Girl unfolds via flashbacks (a common device used in the other two films). He is a lonely student who celebrates his birthday all by himself (and buys himself a Rei Ayanami figurine as a present). While buying himself a gift at a department store, he has a Meet Cute moment with a cute girl who is in tattered cyborg-like bodysuit, tries on a new dress and runs off without paying.

Afterwards, he has a meal by himself when the girl appears, telling him that it's her birthday as well. So they spend a romantic night together (on the run as they didn't pay for the lavish meal they had), and then before sun rises, she disappears.

One year later, on Jiro celebrates his birthday all by himself again, but the girl reappears, looking the same, yet a little different. Then he later learns that she is a cyborg, sent by his future self to save his life in the present.
