Called “Juggernaut,” these are the unmanned combat drones developed by the Republic of San Magnolia in answer to the attacks by the autonomous unmanned drones of the neighboring Empire of Giad, the “Legion”. But they’re only unmanned in name. In reality, they are piloted by the Eighty-sixers—those considered to be less than human and treated as mere tools.
Determined to achieve his own mysterious ends, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron, which is comprised of Eighty-sixers, continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where only death awaits him.

Where it came from
The 86-Eighty-Six television series, produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Toshimasa Ishii, premiered in 2021 as an adaptation of the light novel series written by Asato Asato. The narrative was developed to address themes of systemic discrimination, the dehumanization of marginalized groups, and the brutal realities of drone warfare within a fictionalized setting. The production was critically noted for its atmospheric world-building and the integration of 3D computer graphics for the combat sequences involving the Juggernaut mechs.
The visual design of the series sought to establish a stark contrast between the vibrant, sheltered life of the Republic of San Magnolia and the desolate, industrial environment of the battlefield. The production team aimed to emphasize the isolation of the Eighty-Six through deliberate cinematography and a haunting musical score by Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto. Upon release, the series received significant praise for its mature thematic handling and emotional gravity, distinguishing it from traditional mecha genre conventions.
