Plot

[edit]

In the underworld Felicidad, monsters are magically grown from seeds by farmers called Farmagia to serve as companions for the world's human-like denizens. Ten, a young Farmagia orphan, strives to cultivate the strongest monsters and join the Oración Seis, six generals who govern Felicidad on behalf of their ruler, the Magus Diluculum. When Diluculum suddenly dies, the Oración Seis member Glaza declares himself the new Magus and leads his fellow generals in conquest of Felicidad. Under the command of Nares, leader of their homeland of Avrion, Ten and his friends rally their monsters and join the rebellion against the Oración Seis.

Transliteration: "Senran no Hajimari" (Japanese: 戦乱の始まり)
Toshihiko SanoToshizo NemotoShinji IshihiraJanuary 10, 2025 (2025-01-10)
Ten is a young orphan who lives in the underworld Felicidad as a Farmagia, a monster farmer that cultivates monsters as companions and other facets of society. However, he neglects his duties in favor of cultivating powerful "buddy" monsters of his own, which he believes would qualify him to join the Oración Seis, the six ruling generals of Felicidad. Upon the sudden death of Felicidad's supreme ruler, the Magus Diluculum, his position is assumed by his longest-serving general, Glaza, who proposes a caste system designed to purge Felicidad of its weakest denizens. That night, Glaza's army launches a surprise attack on Centvelt, Ten's hometown on the continent Avrion, which is ruled by Nares, the only general to reject Glaza's leadership. During the chaos, a masked Farmagia razes Centvelt's orphanage and monster farm, which only Ten's crops survive. Ten salvages one of his crops, which produces a pack of Fang buddies that he uses to challenge the masked Farmagia alongside his friend Leii.
2"Avrion in Revolt"
Transliteration: "Hangyaku no Aurion" (Japanese: 叛逆のアウリオン)
Chako SanoToshizō NemotoToshihiko SanoJanuary 17, 2025 (2025-01-17)
Ten's Fangs and Leii's Arkies injure the masked Farmagia, Zanas, but are outmatched by his Dubhalchan Tiarna. Nares rescues Ten and Leii after defeating Glaza's invasion force with her Leviathan Rosso, a powerful combination of her buddy monsters summoned through her Fusion technique, but a strike team of Glaza's soldiers disconnects Avrion from the Neural Road, a system of portals between Felicidad's continents. After Zanas retreats, Nares declares rebellion against Glaza and the rest of the Oración Seis, who have allied with him. Nares devises a plan to capture the continent of Perfectus, Felicidad's center of transit; she sends Ten and Leii there with their friends Arche and Lookie-Loo as a commando squad to defeat its general, Manas, while their other friends Anzar and Chica join Avrion's main force to distract Manas' army. Anticipating Nares' strategy, Manas impedes Ten's party with his own subordinates, one of whom they recognize as their long-lost childhood friend Emero.
3"Reunion in Enemy Territory"
Transliteration: "Tekichi no Saikai" (Japanese: 敵地の再会)
Yūto NakamuraToshizō NemotoToshihiko SanoJanuary 24, 2025 (2025-01-24)
Emero renounces his old friends as traitors, having pledged loyalty to Manas for saving his life as a child. After Ten's party defeats his attendants Zucchero and Gâteau, Emero escapes with them by performing a Unite Blitz—a Farmagia technique his friends have not mastered—to combine his Salamad buddies into a more powerful Salamander. Ten believes he can persuade Emero to switch sides by reuniting him with Chica, the only friend whom Emero still shows affection. Zanas attacks the team, but is forced to retreat upon the appearance of a demi-beast, an uncontrollable monster. When Ten kills the demi-beast with his Fangs, he and his friends have a sudden vision of Manas experimenting on Gâteau with a caterpillar-like monster in his palace orchard. Later, Gâteau is reported missing after his earring is found covered in a Fang's claw marks as part of a string of recent disappearances in Perfectus. Manas presents the earring to Emero, who concludes that Ten has killed Gâteau.
4"The Ties That Bind"
Transliteration: "Musubitsuku Kizuna" (Japanese: 結びつく絆)
Shigeki AwaiToshizō NemotoToshihiko SanoJanuary 31, 2025 (2025-01-31)
Emero attacks Ten's party over Gâteau's death, but relents when they explain their vision from their recent demi-beast encounter. Suspecting that Manas is connected to the disappearances, Emero returns to the palace, where he and the party find Zucchero partially transformed into a demi-beast. Manas confirms that Gâteau and the other missing people became mindless "Lost" demi-beasts in his failed experiments to create the Farmagia Hyperion, the ultimate Farmagia, with Gâteau being the monster Ten killed; he forces Zucchero to complete his transformation by feeding on the souls of Myosotises, the caterpillar monsters grown in the orchard, which turns him Lost. Emero reluctantly kills Zucchero and turns against Manas, who becomes a Reaper—a sapient demi-beast—and battles the party. Inspired by the devotion of his party's monsters, Ten successfully unites his Fangs into a Cerberus, which aids Emero's Salamander in killing Manas. Emero leaves to process his thoughts, but not before Ten invites him to follow them to Rahatluk, Avrion's next target. After the party returns to Centvelt, Arche suddenly collapses from fatigue.
5"To the City of Muscle"

The bedridden Arche remains behind on her team's mission to Rahatluk, which they infiltrate as merchants to defeat its battle-obsessed ruler, the Oración Seis general Corpus. After a visit from her friends, Arche is privately contacted by Glaza as a countermeasure against Avrion. Chica stows aboard the team's wagon, desperate to reunite with Emero, whom she believes will agree to Ten's invitation. When the team discovers her, their arguing over whether or not to look for Emero prompts her to search on her own, but she is quickly captured and imprisoned by Corpus' guards. Corpus, who is eager to challenge Avrion's Farmagia following their defeat of Manas, is disappointed to learn that Chica was uninvolved and violently rebukes her for her submissive behavior. At Zanas' suggestion, Corpus takes her as a hostage to lure her friends into battle. The team happens across Emero while searching for Chica before they are attacked again by Zanas, who informs them of Chica's captivity.

Chica overcomes her passiveness and joins the fight, unwittingly uniting her Ribbhet buddies into a Necroakmancer. The party struggles against Corpus' Reaper form until Ten declares his intent to protect Felicidad's denizens, momentarily assuming a green-haired form that increases his power. Reacting to his power, Ten's unborn monsters are sent to his side by Dentro, the caretaker of Centvelt's orphanage, arriving as fully grown Griffies, which unite into a Grifone. The party defeats Corpus, who allows himself to be dealt a fatal blow; he decrees Rahatluk's alliance with Avrion before dying, revealing that he joined Glaza for his people's protection and organized the battle to test the party's worth. The party returns with Emero to Centvelt, where Chica expresses concern over Corpus' knowledge of their plan, leading Nares to suspect the presence of a spy on Avrion.

Arche confesses that Glaza is forcing her to decipher the continent-destroying Harvest Festival spell written in his grimoire, having placed a deadly curse on her that can only be broken by his death. Dentro recognizes the curse and prepares medicine to offset its effects, sending the party into the forest to retrieve a rare mandrake root as an ingredient. They are challenged over the root by Oración Seis member Lisan, who destroys all but one of the roots and seduces the party with a love charm. Reminded by Lookie-Loo of their bond, Ten negates the charm with the power of his green-haired form. Lisan surrenders the root and retreats after briefly battling the party in her Reaper form. Following her recovery, Arche is cleared of suspicion of being the spy, whom Dentro realizes is someone else. Meanwhile, Lisan is decapitated by her fellow general L'Oreille, who is targeting the rest of the Oración Seis; her death is sensed by Charlot, who is revealed to have been controlling Lisan.

Ten's party arrives at L'Oreille's continent of Sonrisa to defeat her with Anzar's support, but she, Zanas, and Glaza surround them during Anzar's absence. However, L'Oreille and Zanas betray Glaza and steal his grimoire, depriving him of much of his power. In retaliation, Glaza unmasks Zanas as Anzar, who is revealed to be the true spy. L'Oreille and Anzar trap Glaza inside a barrier with Ten's party before retreating. Glaza assumes his Reaper form and attacks the party with a swarm of magical eyeballs. Arche performs a Unite Blitz in defiance of Glaza, transforming her Turnie buddies into a Rad Turnie. Following Anzar's earlier advice, Arche fills the barrier with her monster's pollen to blind Glaza, allowing Lookie-Loo to use his sensory powers to guide the party in destroying the eyeballs. Ten then achieves a Fusion with his Cerberus and Grifone, which combine into a stronger monster that destroys the barrier and kills Glaza, lifting Arche's curse. After Avrion captures L'Oreille's castle, L'Oreille offers to negotiate peace with Nares on Nadeyat'sya, Glaza's former continent. Nares tentatively accepts, attending with Ten's party in her bodyguard force.

The souls of Nadeyat'sya's inhabitants are fed to the still-living Diluculum, who publicly announces his plan to reap all of Felicidad's souls with the Grand Harvest Festival. En route to a Neural Road to the Magus' lair, Dentro tells Ten's party that he and Diluculum are angels who created Felicidad alongside Diluculum's lover, Eleonora, whom the malevolent God cursed to age rapidly as divine punishment after the three rebelled against Heaven; Diluculum suffers from the same curse due to absorbing Eleonora's soul in an attempt to save her. Seeking to become the Farmagia Hyperion and kill God, Diluculum has performed multiple Harvest Festivals to regain his youth, hastening the curse's effects with every casting. Dentro also reveals that Ten and his friends were created by Diluculum, reasoning that they were born inherently powerful to advance Diluculum's goals. When the group reaches the Neural Road, L'Oreille emerges through it.

L'Oreille, who has allied with Diluculum to satisfy her sadistic urges, assumes her Reaper form and magically removes Ten and his friends' senses except for pain and hearing. Leii recognizes L'Oreille as the same monster that killed his childhood friend Anemone, whom he abandoned out of fear during the incident. Traumatized, Leii flees as L'Oreille attacks his crippled party. While reflecting on his cowardice, Leii realizes L'Oreille's sense-stealing ability comes from a mystical bell she carries. He rejoins his friends and summons a Cuckoo-Doodle from Centvelt's farm to dampen the bell's noise with its screeching, allowing his Arkies to destroy the bell. He then unites his Arkies into a Karkinos, which he and Ten fuse with the latter's Grifone into a Nova Phoenix, killing L'Oreille. Dentro sends the party to the Magus' lair, where they find the reanimated bodies of the other generals, including Nares, who all transform into demi-beasts.
11"A Brother's Path"

Ten's party battles the Oración Seis' Lost demi-beast forms, reluctantly killing Nares along with the others after accepting her last request for them to protect Felicidad. The party then rushes to battle Diluculum as he begins casting the Grand Harvest Festival, but they are stopped by Anzar, who has consumed the Oración Seis' souls to defeat Diluculum himself. However, Anzar's feeding also transforms him into a demi-beast, leading him to mindlessly attack his friends. The party realizes Anzar is not fully Lost when he yields after Ten calls out to him, causing them to experience Anzar's memories, which reveal his intentions to protect them while disguised as Zanas. Beckoned by his friends and encouraged by Nares' voice, Anzar returns to normal and joins the party against Diluculum.

Ten survives and restores his party with the power of his green-haired form, which Diluculum recognizes as that of the Hyperion. Diluculum attacks the party in his ultimate Reaper form, but is easily defeated by their enhanced monsters; as telepathically informed by Dentro before his death, the party reveals that Dentro secretly suffered the same divine punishment as Eleonora and sacrificed himself to weaken Diluculum. The party extracts Felicidad's souls from Diluculum, restoring the underworld and its denizens; Eleonora and Dentro's souls are also freed and reconcile with Diluculum as he dies. The party is elected as Felicidad's new leaders, naming themselves the Dragons of Centvelt after their childhood playgroup. Meanwhile, Charlot ponders how to report the recent events to her superiors before sprouting wings and flying away, revealing her to be another angel.
