Description: The 2008 Japanese movie “Cyborg She” tells the story of Jiro Kitamura (Keisuke Koide), a young man celebrating his 20th birthday alone on November 22, 2007. While shopping for a birthday gift, he catches the attention of a mysterious girl (Haruka Ayase), who smiles at him. Later, he notices her stealing clothes but chooses to ignore it, captivated by her beauty. The girl takes an interest in Jiro and joins him at a restaurant, where they bond over the fact that it’s also her birthday. After sharing gifts, she impulsively leads him out of the restaurant without paying, sparking a chase through Tokyo. Despite her bold and unpredictable behavior, Jiro finds himself drawn to her. However, she leaves abruptly after a few hours, leaving him confused.
A year later, Jiro is alone again on his birthday when the same girl suddenly reappears. It is revealed that she is a cyborg sent by Jiro’s future self, who is trying to change a tragic fate. The cyborg is modeled after the girl Jiro met in 2007. Shortly after her arrival, the restaurant is attacked by a gunman, but the cyborg saves everyone by throwing the assailant out. Despite her cute appearance, she possesses immense strength and acts unpredictably. Later, at Jiro’s home, she reveals her true identity through a 3D projection of Jiro’s future self, who warns him about an impending disaster that will leave him paralyzed. The movie explores themes of time, fate, and the connection between the two characters.
