ARMS (extendable)

''This article is about the extendable limbs. For other users, see ARMS (disambiguation).''

ARMS fighters—even human ones—do not fight using ordinary human arms. Instead, they use a pair of extendable limbs called ARMS. Most fighters have extendable ARMS where a human's arms would normally be, but this is not always the case.

Fighters make use of various weapons, also called ARMS, while fighting. They wear the weapons on their hands, just as boxers wear boxing gloves.

History
The origins of extendable ARMS are unknown. Debated origins include heredity, mutation, and experimentation by extraterrestrial life. All attempts by historians to find answers have ended in failure. Individuals with the "Gift of ARMS" often participate in the ARMS League.

The earliest depiction of the phenomenon discovered so far dates about 1500 years, but experts argue that these ARMS may have existed since 4000 years ago. This phenomenon is also found in animals and plants.

It has been stated that the masks the fighters are wearing stabilizes the coil shape in the ARMS, and that the arms return to normal when the mask is taken off.
