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!

JOIN THE DARK SIDE Now that Negi has learned all about his parents and his village, Goedel invites the boy to join forces with him, promising to help Negi get revenge on those who destroyed his life. Our hero asserts that vengeance was never his goal, but the dark magic inside him claims otherwise.

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?

THE VALUE OF A LIFE Tōta and the rest of UQ HOLDER successfully travel back in time and stop the nuclear missile from hitting the orbital elevator…but just as they do, they discover that another attack is headed their way! And with Kirië''s save point destroyed, it means that this time, there are no do-overs. With only one chance to save humanity from destruction, can Tōta figure out a way to save everyone, or will it take a great sacrifice to avert an even greater disaster?

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 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!

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...

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.
