A suspicious transfer student arrives in Mowtown.
About
Metal Cardbot is set in a world where robotic lifeforms called Metal Cardbots exist in the human world, summoned through Metal Breaths and Metal Cards. Usually remaining in card form, these bots emerge to fight and perform missions alongside a chosen human using a Metal Breath. The story focuses on building trust and growing together rather than just combat. Planet Machina, the home of the Metal Cardbots, was completely destroyed by war and explosions. Many perished, and only a few survivors escaped to Earth. Thus, they are not mere visitors but tragic survivors of a lost home. In robot form, they stand 7 meters tall. The forbidden power sealed within the Metal Breath can be unleashed during battles with powerful foes or when special conditions are met. This power is pure energy; the intense heat generated by the Breath while containing it poses a risk of burns to the user.

It recognizes Metal Cards to materialize the bots, serving as a vital link between humans and robots. He uses it to initiate combat and harness their powers.

He speaks naturally like any boy his age, using casual speech and joking with friends, but becomes calm and firm in serious situations. He treats Metal Cardbots as trusted partners rather than subordinates.
