AN EPIC ENDING... The time has come for the final showdown. Enemies, allies, and everyone in between collide in the big battle with the last boss. Every move is made, every plan is executed, all possibilities are exhausted, and in the end, Tota''s idealistic hope to save everyone is all but crushed. In this final volume, Tota makes an impossible choice, giving him a slim chance at the happy ending he so desperately desires! FINAL VOLUME!

REUNITED AND IT FEELS... After reuniting with his friends, the large gap in Tōta’s memories is filled when he’s told what really happened after Ba’al’s forces attacked the orbital ring. And with a blessed respite from being hunted by Ba’al’s elite demon hit squad, Tōta is able to take some time to reconnect with his beloved friends and comrades. Some allies that were thought lost are found and the wounds created by Tōta being absent for over 40 years are healed with immortal love.

THE LONG FALL 43 years have passed since Ba’al’s terrorist attack that derailed UQ Holder’s plan to defeat Ialda. Tōta has recovered most of his memories, but still can not fill in the 43 year blank that haunts him. Though he desperately wants to find out what happened to his friends, he must first survive being hunted by Ba’al’s powerful minions. Without his powers or immortality, can Tōta escape Ba’al’s forces and reunite with his UQ Holder comrades? And are there even any members of UQ Holder left to reunite with?

TO THE TOP AND BEYOND... After Tо̄ta defeats the Fushi-Gari targeting Kurо̄maru, the Shinmei reveal a big secret. They have located Ialda and also calculated when she will activate her ultimate spell, Cosmo Entelekheia. With this information in hand, the time has come for UQ Holder to finally confront Ialda and end her for good. Once the final preparations have been made, UQ Holder will depart from the top of the tower to Pluto. Tо̄ta will finally achieve his dream of reaching the top of the tower as a fleet of spaceships await to take UQ Holder to battle. However, his dream may become a nightmare...

Tо̄ta and Kurо̄maru are on a date! Is their partner-ship about to blossom into a romantic bond? Sadly, as the two confront the nature of their relationship, they are rudely interrupted by the Fushi-Gari, immortal hunters from the Shinmei. In order to complete their preparations to destroy Ialda, the Fushi-Gari must perform a ritual that requires Kurо̄maru, and Kurо̄maru’s own brother is among those leading the hunt! Kurо̄maru’s immortality is at stake as Tо̄ta faces off against an entire clan devoted to destroying immortals.

The battle with Ba’al comes to an epic conclusion as UQ Holder’s most powerful members, The Numbers, all finally come together! The time has come to take the fight to Ialda, but can the UQ Holder Numbers succeed where two generations of legendary Springfields failed? The Numbers make a bold move towards taking down Ialda and Yukihime faces an emotional reckoning with Tо̄ta!

Après avoir vaincu Baal, le High Daylight Walker, les membres de UQ Holder s’offrent un temps de repos bien mérité. Tôta invite Kurômaru à passer une journée avec lui pour se détendre mais, soudain, ils se font attaquer par un clan de puissants chasseurs qui considèrent les immortels comme leurs pires ennemis !

While Nikits occupies Tota, the Senkyokan comes under attack. Jinbei and Juzo put their relationship to the test as they face off in a fight to the death. Can Jinbei defeat Juzo’s 800 years of sword mastery to awaken his friend from Ba’al’s control? Clashing with the boy he once saved, Jinbei reveals the true nature of his Switcheroo. And, at a climactic moment, Tota arrives just as Dana–his old master–appears out of nowhere. She may no longer be the teacher he once knew… The UQ members must unite to face their greatest battle yet!

A flurry of pactios and bombshell revelations seem to have things looking up for UQ HOLDER. The team is united in trust and strength, and appears to be closer than ever behind Tо̄ta’s fearless leadership as they stare down one of their most intense battles yet. But nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and as they look out towards the next battle, their enemy may in fact be closer than they think…

Negi Springfield, the boy wizard of the hit manga Negima!, fought and won many battles. Now it is decades later and Negi''s grandson(!), a little boy name Touta, dreams of leaving his quiet village and heading to the city. But first he must defeat his teacher . . . the immortal vampire, Evangeline!

Tôta et ses compagnons se sont rendus au pied de la fameuse tour Ama-no-mihashira pour y coincer le véritable ennemi de UQ Holder : Fate Averruncus. Face à la puissance écrasante du magicien, les numéros ont eu fort à faire. Mais grâce au don miraculeux de Kirié Sakurame, ils sont finalement parvenus à capturer Fate qui retrouve Evangeline après 20 ans de séparation. Le combat s''engage aussitôt !

THE POWER OF FATE Tota meets Kirië Sakurame, a mysterious member of UQ Holder. Kirië looks like a little girl, but is apparently the wealthy patron of UQ Holder. Tota accompanies her on a trip to the tower to meet Karin (returning from the Moon), but the trip appears to have another purpose. The powerful wizard Fate Averruncus, former ally of Tota''s grandfather Negi, wants to take possession of Tota for reasons unknown. Despite having Karin, Ikku, Kirië and Kuromaru with him, they stand little chance of stopping Fate, who possesses unfathomable power. Why does Fate want Tota? And can Kirië''s secret plan succeed in stopping him?

Tôta et ses compagnons, qui séjournaient dans les bidonvilles pour leur première mission, se font soudain attaquer par la SMP Powerful Hand. Pendant la bataille, Tôta s''éveille à un étrange pouvoir, la Magia Erebea. Alors qu’il est à deux doigts de se faire capturer par Shion Nagumo, un chasseur d''immortels aveugle, les meilleurs éléments de UQ Holder, les « Numéros » font leur apparition. L''heure de la contre-offensive a sonné !

Tous les membres de la pension reviennent d’Okinawa et chacun reprend ses activités. Une grande question se pose : que vont faire Naru et Keitarô à propos de leurs études ? Deux nouveaux personnages entrent en scène, un certain monsieur Seta, pour qui Keitarô se met à travailler et une petite peste du nom de Sarah, qui considère manifestement Seta comme son père. Elle n’a pas fini d’en faire voir à notre pauvre Keitarô.
