Planeptune
Steamax attacks IF with his shuriken to help Arfoire escape from IF and Neptune. Arfoire asks for his assistance in defeating the two, but he says he only serves Affimojas and Affimojas' orders were to retreat. Arfoire agrees so he creates a smokescreen and the pair retreat.
Steamax returns from his secret mission. He reports to his general. He has procured the doujinshi, his master ordered. Affimojas thanks him for this and the two drop their formalities. The general was really worried about not getting the doujinshi when his pre-order failed. Steamax notes that he had to wait at dawn for it and there were only 3 copies left when they arrived.
The two check out the doujinshi and remark that busty blondes are the best. Steamax then tells the general about how he saw Neptune in her HDD form. Affimojas gets jealous and asks if he talked to her. Steamax did not because he is too shy. Affimojas berates him for that and Steamax has no reply. Affimojas apologizes but asks him to do another mission. He agrees to it and asks that the general get some fresh air. Affimojas wishes he could but he has to keep summarizing the news for his blog. Steamax then leaves.
Steamax sneaks into a Planeptune cell and busts Warechu out. Warechu is impressed with him. Steamax prides himself in his inability to stand out in a crowd. Warechu tells him that is not something he should be proud of. He retrieves Warechu but does not report the fact that Warechu gave information to the enemy.
Steamax subverts the rising popularity of Neptune and B-Sha by spying on them and giving information to the general for his blog site. During one of his spying missions, he learns that Neptune has the swirl console. He reports this to the general who entrusts him with the job to retrieve the console.
Arfoire threatens Steamax telling him not to fail as she wanted to get the console. Steamax gulps and gets Warechu for assistance. Warechu launches a diversion operation in Haneda City, while Steamax steals the console.
Steamax is spotted by Chuko when Neptune and company are trying to find the swirl console. They find Steamax, who is somewhat flustered by their appearance due to being young girls. He puts up a good fight against them but is eventually defeated. After the battle, Steamax attempts to flee by using his "Five-Greed Jutsu" technique (which is simply throwing adult magazines in the air and cutting them). Steamax almost manages to get away as the girls are enamored by the pictures, but Purple Heart stops him by getting up close. This action causes Steamax to suffer a nervous breakdown and faint in the process.
Steamax quickly recovers and deduces the explosion to have been coming from Planeptune. He asks the girls to put aside their differences to help the citizens of Planeptune. He offers them a ride on his back. In Planeptune, the group discovers a giant rampaging Warechu fighting B-Sha. The girls try to assist B-Sha but Steamax notices something wrong with her. B-Sha attacks the girls thinking they are monsters.
Chuko arrives to explain that a girl tried to turn her into a rampaging monster but Warechu protected her. She then gave B-Sha "motivation" to fight the monster. Steamax offers to lure Warechu away as the girls try to bring B-Sha back to his senses. Steamax is unfortunately defeated by Warechu who rampages across the city. The girls do manage to bring B-Sha back to herself. Steamax apologizes and slips away. He also retrieves the Swirl Console in the midst of all the fighting.
He returns to the general with the console but asks him why he and Arfoire is intent to acquiring the console. Affimojas does not want to answer so Steamax tries to bribe him with rare adult magazines. Affimojas, more angrily says no and Steamax gives him the console and leaves sad.
Lastation
Steamax manages to steal an antique cable from the Lastation Basilicom. Unfortunately he drops it in front of Uni. He is shy towards her and she immediately gets suspicious. He tells her he stole it from a thief and introduces himself as "Jiro". Uni does not believe him but finds him a good person and lets him go asking him to return it to the Basilicom.
Steamax is in a store reading an adult magazine. Uni shows up looking to buy a drink. Uni notices the ninja and starts up a conversation with him. Steamax notices that he can talk to her without being shy. He asks for her name and learns it is Uni. He likes the name. Uni then wonders what he is reading, Steamax rushes to swap the book so that Uni does not hate him. He swaps it with a homoerotic magazine. Uni checks the book and says she is not going to judge. She says farewell to the "Bara Ninja". Steamax is glad that she does not hate him but notes that she misunderstood everything.
Steamax then sees Uni again. Steamax is about to call out to her but she about to reunite with her sister Noire. Steamax hides and understands that Noire is a CPU and wonders if Uni is therefore a CPU candidate. This would be a problem for a ninja who is attracted to the candidate.
Lowee
He sneaks in the Revolutionary Army's mansions in order to acquire a controller. During which he finds some collectible items. He finds a fanzine on Pocketed Monstrosities. There are also pictures of the CPU candidates which he burns for the sake of the world. He notes he would have kept them if they were "busty blondes". Finally there is a film about a senior who invites a junior to his apartment and then have a romantic experience. He notes that the revolutionary army has revolutionized their tastes.
He returns to the general and asks him why he is collecting all these items. The general tells him when they have collected them all, he will tell Steamax. The ninja protests this saying he'll never be able to sleep at night not knowing why they are collecting these.
Finale
Steamax was spying to get more information for the general's blog. He spies on the goddess' meeting with Histoire. He learns that they know where AffimaX is hidden and are going to come take down the organization. He decides to return to Affimojas to tell him the news.
Steamax appears after seeing older Neptune and Arfoire attacking Affimojas. The two decide to retreat not wanting to deal with both robots.
He reports his findings to Affimojas. Affimojas then says he will defeat the goddesses capture them and ransom them for more money. Steamax is moved by Affimojas' genius plan and promises to follow him forever.
After that he fires Steamax. Steamax tells him that is a bad joke and bad for heart. Affimojas says they are in a recession. Steamax tells him they are in a recession but the blog is doing well. He says that He then says Steamax has betrayed his "Busty Blonde" school. Not only that he has found a real girl to like. Steamax can either cut his stomach or leave. Steamax leaves crying.
Later, Uni finds Steamax sad and asks him what is wrong. Steamax explains that he being not a person that stands was never noticed. He spent his summer collecting adult magazines and the general noticed him. The two then spent the rest of their life doing things together but as of late he is being secretive and he could accept Steamax's change in taste. He admits he should not have kept it a secret but he hopes that as best friends, he'd accept it.
Uni cheers him by suggesting that the general was carrying a heavy burden and did not want to get Steamax involved. Steamax realizes Uni's theory is likely true. As a result, he apologizes to Uni for deceiving her and returns to AffimaX.
He gets into a fight with the CPUs with Uni angry at his deception. Even after defeated he attempts to attack the CPUs leaving Uni no choice but to use a tranquilizer shot to get him to calm down instead of throwing his life away. Steamax then apologizes to Uni for both trying to throw his life away and tricking her. Uni says he can make it up by not running away and Steamax agrees and asks that they go easy on Affimojas. Uni agrees.
Steamax appears at the climatic fight between the CPUs and Affimojas ready to die with his friend corrupted by delusionary power. Neptune decides to not let that happen as she wants a happy ending. She destroys Affimojas' delusionary power and Steamax thanks her for saving his friend.
Afterwards, Affimojas awakens angry at Steamax for doing something that would risk his life and still trusting him after all that. Steamax regardless decides to be loyal to Affimojas.
