God Eater (Anime)/Episode 1: Lenka Utsugi

Synopsis
Lenka Utsugi is shown in a ruined cityscape wasteland with Aragami wandering about. He arrives at the front gates of Fenrir's Far East Branch and is next shown undergoing the God Arc compatibility test, where he is shown to be a compatible New-Type. He meets Kota Fujiki, a fellow rookie, and the two undergo training together.

Meanwhile, the Defense Unit, led by Tatsumi O'Mori, is dispatched to ward off an Aragami attack. Lenka begs to go out and fight, but he is shot down by Tsubaki Amamiya, who orders him to remain on standby and continue training. Left with no options, he continues his training and later meets up with Licca Kusunoki, who has completed his God Arc. Shortly thereafter, simultaneous Aragami attacks breach the outer walls of the Far East Branch at two antipodal points. Lenka insists on going but is once again shot down by Tsubaki. However, he defies orders and rushes out with his God Arc to fight back the Aragami.

Arriving on the scene, Lenka comes to the aid of Eric der Vogelweid but quickly finds himself overwhelmed, his God Arc knocked away by a Kongou. However, he is saved by the arrival of Soma Schicksal, Sakuya Tachibana, and Lindow Amamiya, descending from a waiting helicopter. They effortlessly eliminate the Aragami on the scene, but Lenka notices a civilian in the distance threatened by a remaining Kongou. He grabs his God Arc and rushes towards the Aragami, beseeching his God Arc to reach his foe—prompting it to respond to his will and transform into its gun state, blasting the Kongou away in a single shot, much to the amazement of the First Unit members.
