Fushi, March and Parona continue their escape from Yanome and back to Ninanna. Hayase chases after them, especially in order to capture Fushi.

Just as Gugu and Rean come to understand each other, the Nokkers emerge, causing panic in the party hall. Fushi and Gugu are forced to fight.

An orb is tossed upon the earth. It transforms to match its surrounding environment: first a rock, then moss, then a dying wolf. The wolf returns to its last remaining family, a boy living alone in a small home in the snow.

With the Nokkers defeated, the people of Renril rejoice, and Fushi and his friends discuss their hopes for the future.

March is escorted to the altar to be sacrificed to Oniguma. Along the way, she tends to Fushi, who, despite having the body of a young man, doesn’t seem to have the mind of one.

Fushi parts ways with Tonari and heads to the port where Pioran is waiting for him. He worries that he may attract the Nokkers again and endanger her.

Four years after their encounter with the Nokkers, Fushi and Gugu have grown into fine young men. They’re invited to Rean’s birthday party after a brief reunion with Gugu’s brother.

Fushi explains to Gugu how his form as the wolf, Joaan, and March, came to be. Gugu explains death to Fushi. Together, they come to understand the meaning of family.

Having gained a semblance of humanity, Fushi sets off on his own. He encounters Pioran again, who teachers him words and writing, helping him live as a human being.

Fushi attempts to escape from his iron cell, while Bon and Todo await their trial in their own cells.

Fushi and Gugu fight against the Nokkers that they encountered in the forest. Though the situation is grim, Gugu has a trick up his sleeve.

The orb, having morphed into a boy, finds its way to Ninanna, where he is attacked. He is discovered by a girl, March, who may not achieve her goal of becoming a grown-up.

The death of his three friends turns Fushi mad, and he begins defeating the Nokkers at a furious pace. But as it turns out, he may not be the only immortal.

The team works to prevent the Nokkers from making use of the waterways and sewers. Fushi works non-stop rebuilding all the homes, and the exhaustion begins to show.

Fushi and his allies work to win over the trust of the people of Renril in preparation for the Nokkers’ attack.

Having finished training on the derelict ship, Fushi travels to Renril, where the Nokkers are threatening to attack.

Having defeated Fushi, Hayase makes a surprising proposal to the people of the island of Jananda.

Tonari returns to Jananda to rescue Fushi. Before setting out again, they stay the night in a cave, and Tonari shares her past.

Fushi, Tonari and their friends fight the Nokkers, who have taken over corpses.

Kahaku, the sixth of Hayase's descendants, introduces himself to Fushi. Much time has passed, and the Guardians have expanded their influence.

As warned by Kahaku’s arm, the Nokkers attack the head church of the Church of Bennett, causing terrible devastation.

Fushi and Pioran are separated on the prison island of Jananda. He enters a tournament where, if he survives until the end, he will be granted the right to do anything he wants – including leaving the island with Pioran.

Amidst the brutal battle against the Nokkers, Bon and Kahaku both share a desire to protect Fushi’s humanity. How they go about it, however, puts them at odds.

Fushi fends off the Nokkers miles away from Renril, but the Nokkers had already devised a more cunning plan.
