Saneatsu Narita’s ordinary school life is disrupted by a mysterious yes-or-no message. The following morning, Tokyo is transformed by an unexplained catastrophe, leaving Saneatsu and a handful of classmates searching for answers. They soon discover that they have been drawn into Tasuketsu, a deadly game controlled by the enigmatic Emperor.
Reeling from the consequences of the latest Tasuketsu vote, the remaining survivors search for the Emperor’s designated postbox and a way to fight back. As they learn more about the mysterious Rights that grant extraordinary abilities, hidden motives begin to emerge and trusting the people around them becomes increasingly difficult.
After learning that a traitor may be hiding among their allies, Saneatsu secretly works with Saaya to uncover the truth. As they put their plan into motion, the investigation reveals an even greater threat involving a powerful special Right, placing Saneatsu in grave danger.
Separated from Saneatsu and the others while fleeing, Omi and Kazuhiko are rescued by an eccentric boy with a powerful special Right. As they search for a way to reunite with their companions, the Emperor announces a new stage of Tasuketsu, bringing another dangerous change to the survival game.
Iruga demands that Saneatsu and his friends hand over Midō and Omi to him so that he can overthrow the Emperor. In return, he reveals the goal that he and his partner are pursuing. In Nerima, Sudō encounters his teacher, Shinozaki, but also Midō.
As Eren suddenly disappears and Rika joins the group, Saneatsu begins questioning why he cannot obtain a Special Right. Omi’s explanation of the Rights and the mysterious detention facility brings them closer to understanding the Emperor’s power, while Eren’s search leads to an unexpected encounter.
Shaken by a series of troubling revelations, Saneatsu considers leaving the group, but his friends refuse to let him face the burden alone. To confirm Sudo’s theory about the Emperor’s whereabouts, they devise a plan to draw out someone who may possess the information they need.
Saneatsu and the others finally obtain reliable information about the Emperor’s location and learn more about the powers surrounding Tasuketsu. With new allies joining their cause, the group prepares an ambitious operation to confront the Emperor and bring the deadly game to an end.
The operation to overthrow the Emperor finally begins. While their allies create a diversion against the vast army of puppets surrounding his tower and target key power stations, Saneatsu, Saaya, Omi and Ryuta use the opportunity to infiltrate the stronghold and move closer to confronting their mysterious enemy.
Having reached the Emperor’s tower, Saneatsu finally comes face to face with the mastermind behind Tasuketsu. As the final vote begins, he and Saaya stake everything on defeating the Emperor and bringing the deadly survival game to an end.
A month after the battle at the Emperor’s tower, Gobō and his allies struggle to maintain order by using a false Emperor as a deterrent. Their fragile stability is threatened when someone else suddenly claims the Emperor’s name on television, prompting them to investigate the mysterious broadcast.
Brought to the group’s hideout, Raion comes face to face with the false Emperor and attempts to uncover his allies’ intentions. Before long, he is forced to reveal his own objective, while a mysterious figure calling herself the Queen interrupts a television broadcast with a declaration that threatens the fragile new order.
After proving his abilities, Raion officially joins Gobō and the others. As the group prepares to confront the Queen’s forces, Raion, Sōma and Nishime head to the broadcasting station, where an unexpected enemy with a dangerous Special Right stands in their way.
After suffering a setback, the Queen reorganizes her forces and summons new allies to the fight. As Mutsuki moves against a rival group, Shinozaki grows suspicious of Raion’s remarkable abilities despite his young age, raising new questions about whom the group can truly trust.
At the Emperor’s tower, Raion, Omi and Ryuta confront Meguru and Knight as they attempt to force their way inside. While Raion uses deception to gain the upper hand, Ryuta struggles against Knight’s formidable abilities, until unexpected reinforcements arrive and shift the balance of the fight.
Yagihashi and Sudo interrogate Mutsuki in hopes of uncovering more about the Queen and her forces. As Raion reflects on his place within the group, new information allows the others to reassess the situation and begin preparing their next major operation.
As the Queen prepares for an all-out confrontation, unexpected allies join her cause. Meanwhile, Jin shares new information about a mysterious way of summoning Special Rights, and Sudo launches an ambitious operation to seal off Tokyo. The plan initially progresses, but a new power threatens to overturn their advantage.
With morale shaken after their failed operation, Gobō and the others receive unexpected information about the Queen’s forces. Their situation grows more dangerous when the Emperor resumes Tasuketsu, while a secret scheme within the Queen’s camp begins to create new tensions.
Raion questions Yagihashi and Sudo’s increasingly ruthless methods as tensions grow within the group. Meanwhile, the Emperor begins hunting down holders of powerful Rights across Tokyo, prompting Sudo to send Raion and Ryuta to confront the growing threat before his forces become even stronger.
Working as a double agent, Raion infiltrates the Queen’s forces and uses Gobō’s ability to narrow down the location of their hideout. His mission becomes far more dangerous when the Queen tests his loyalty by ordering him to bring Sōma to her, forcing the group to consider a risky response.
Raion is devastated by the outcome of the operation to rescue Hikari and struggles with guilt over his role in the plan. Meanwhile, Hirayama and Fukami make their move within the Queen’s camp, but Kirishima’s intervention places their dangerous scheme in jeopardy.
New revelations about the origins of the Special Rights bring the conflict closer to its decisive stage. As the Queen and Emperor make their next move, the opposing forces converge on the Emperor’s tower, where the long-awaited final battle begins.
As the final battle intensifies, the false Emperor’s team uses carefully coordinated tactics to push through the Queen’s forces. Meanwhile, Raion joins Iruga in confronting the formidable Kirishima, putting a dangerous plan into motion that could determine the outcome of the conflict.
As the final battle reaches its climax, both sides turn to their most powerful remaining abilities. While the Queen prepares a decisive move, Raion makes one last attempt to reach the Emperor, hoping his words can change the course of the conflict before it is too late.
