Film Synopsis

A year has passed since the Battle of Ashinaka High School and the death of the Red King. To this day, the whereabouts of the Silver King, Yashiro Isana (voiced by Daisuke Namikawa), remain a mystery.

In their effort to locate their leader, Kuroh Yatogami (voiced by Daisuke Ono) and Neko (voiced by Mikako Komatsu) have made little progress. Though disheartened, they believe they'll one day find Yashiro.

All the while, others have been preparing for battle.

Without warning, the Green Clan attacks. They hope to increase their power and influence. And to do so, they seek to eliminate their biggest threats. Which includes the missing Silver King.

To stop the Greens and hopefully find their friend, Kuroh and Shiro join forces with the now disbanded Red Clan, HOMRA. They also enlist the aid of the powerful Blue Clan, SCEPTER 4.

A major conflict now appears imminent. How things will play out is anyone's guess. Yet, a clan without their King is as good as lost.

Series Synopsis

A year has passed since the occupation of Ashinaka Island and the death of the Red King. The feud between the clans has died down and to a large extent, things have returned to a state of peace. Yet that stability is beginning to falter.

The Green Clan, also known as Jungle, has started to make louder and bolder moves for control. Supported by a social networking infrastructure, the Green’s spread their power to its members. Only a select few have access to full power of the clan. These are the people who have received the blessings of their King, Nagare Hisui (voiced by Kazuyuki Okitsu).

Nagare seeks to lure out the elusive Silver King, Yashiro “Shiro” Isana (voiced by Daisuke Namikawa). To do this, the Greens have started targeting Shiro’s friends, Kuroh Yatogami (voiced by Daisuke Ono) and Neko (voiced by Mikako Komatsu).

To stop the coming war, Shiro turns to Scepter 4’s Blue King, Reisi Munakata (voiced by Tomokazu Sugia), and HOMRA’s new Red King, Anna Kushina (voiced by Yui Horie).

Series Synopsis

Yashiro Isana (voiced by Daisuke Namikawa), better known as Shiro, is a popular student at Ashinaka High School.

One day, Shiro is suddenly attacked by the infamous organization known as HOMRA. While running from his assailants, Shiro is saved by a mysterious man named Kuroh Yatogami (voiced by Daisuke Ono), the Black Dog.

The rescue is short lived when Kuroh explains that his mission is to find and kill a person known as the Seventh and Colorless King. Almost on cue, HOMRA releases a video showing a person, resembling Shiro, claiming to be the Colorless King as he kills one of their members.

Despite the damning evidence, Shiro has no memory of killing anyone or any knowledge of this so called Colorless King.

Although he is able to convince Kuroh of his innocence for the time being, Shiro still on run from HOMRA, led by the Third and Red King Mikoto Suoh (voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda), and as well as the organization known as Scepter 4, led by the Fourth and Blue King Reisi Munakata (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita). To aid him, Shiro relies on the help of Kuroh and a strange girl named Neko (voiced by Mikako Komatsu).
