Majin Bone

Mysterious holes begin appearing all over the Earth. People blame it on the weather, but we see seven mysterious fighters fighting at the site in a different dimension. The next morning teenager Ryuujin Shougo learns about the strange holes when getting ready for Earth. That evening he is outside when the ground collapses at his friends house. Shougo goes to investigate only to find a mysterious card. He gets attacked by one of the unknown figures, but then the card transforms him into a fighter known as Dragon Bone.

Having transformed into Dragon Bone, Ryuujin Shougo is warped into a strange alternate dimension, where he fights the mysterious enemy Dark Bone. Dark Bone gives Dragon a hard fight, and drives him to the brink of destruction. Just then, three mysterious silhouettes appear behind Dragon.

Shougo equips his Bone with the three young men Antonio, Luke, and Tyrone. By demonstrating that he can equip Dragon Bone with his own will, Shougo has proven himself a chosen warrior. Shougo doesn`t understand what`s going on, but Luke explains to him that Dark Bone is trying to steal the Bones of Earth, and if all the Bones are stolen, there is a chance that the Earth could be destroyed.

Dark Bone has appeared, but Shougo can`t transform into Dragon. The Bone has the will to fight, but Shougo is unconsciously rejecting the fight. Therefore, he can`t equip his Bone. Shougo stews over the questions of why he must fight, and why he was chosen for his Bone.

The fourth Bone adept, Gilbert, arrives at an airport in Japan. Shougo and the others go to meet him, and learn that he is a thirteen year old boy. But he is also the most severe out of all of them. He`s looked through Shougo`s file and immediately declares that he took too long to adapt to his Bone.

Gilbert equips Leo Bone and fights Dark Bone for the first time, but Dark Bone forms a line and summons a Majin. Their leader, Dark Horse, has such powerful kicks that Leo can`t hope to match him. Shougo, shaken by his first sight of a Majin, begins to feel anxious over whether they could ever hope to beat them.

Dark Bone summons a Majin once again, but Dragon summons a Majin to oppose it. The Majin`s power fills Dragon, who gets a Bone Crush on one of the Dark Bones. The Dark Bone`s true face is revealed... and it looks almost human! The Dark Bones retreat, and the fist Dragon used to land the blow fossilizes. After unequipping, Shougo realizes that the change extends to the Dragon Card, too: Dragon Bone has fossilized.

At the Bone Research Facility, Higashio informs Shougo of a shocking truth: Dark Bone are extraterrestrial life forms, and they`re invading Earth to get at Dragon Bone. Shougo decides that if it weren`t for Dragon Bone, the enemy wouldn`t be there putting the people around him in danger.

Wolf and Tiger enter the laboratory to steal Dragon Bone. The Bone Fighters other than Shougo equip and enter the Revelation Cocoon to fight Tiger and Wolf. Shougo had decided not to equip Dragon Bone anymore, but when he realizes how badly Shark and the others are struggling against Wolf and Tiger, he goes back on that decision.

Shougo and the others return from the laboratory and get back totheir everyday lives. Saho notices that Shougo has changed somehow. The others told her that they were helping out at Luke`s family farm. Did the farm work change Shougo? Saho finds it all too strange. Meanwhile, Gilbert can`t forgive Shougo for getting back to daily life so lightly.

When Dark Horse appears, Gilbert is secretly relieved to see that it wasn`t the powerful Wolf and Tiger. Unable to forgive himself for that half-hearted way of thinking, he throws himself into training. Dark Horse, sent into a panic by Dragon`s overwhelming strength, makes preparations to challenge Dragon to a final battle.

The aftermath of the battle leaves the city deeply scarred. Shougo is disturbed by the reports of the incident as a natural disaster. To keep the real situation from reaching the public, the laboratory is controlling the release of information. But they still lack conclusive data about the giant Majin hand that crushed Dark Horse in battle.

Shougo has been swallowed up by the berserk Dragon Bone. Leonard comes to Japan to bring him to the safety of a hospital. The Bone equip has released but Shougo remains unconscious. Luke and the other Bone Fighters are worried. So is Saho. Kengo remains unshaken, though, and calmly sees to Luke, Saho, and the others. While Shougo lies in his hospital bed, his consciousness converses with Dragon Bone.

Shougo notices something off in Luke`s demeanor. Antonio and the others are worried that he might be conflicted over nearly going berserk in the last battle. They are told that is the son of the head of the Bone Research Organization, and that Luke bears the weight of expectation as a Bone Adept. Meanwhile, Gustos and Morse, in order to get revenge on Shougo and the others for beating Liebert, go on the attack, without asking permission from Klude or Liebert back on Nepos.

Luke became an Adept when he was a child, almost as if guided by destiny. Later, when his father was promoted to head of the Bone Research Organization, the two parted ways. Luke had to live his destiny as a Bone Fighter all alone. As a result, Luke will not hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect Dragon. Shougo, Antonio, and the others are worried about Luke`s reckless course of action.

Luke`s descent of the Majin of Water has Gilbert feeling restless. When he looks back over their battles, he can`t help but notice how far he`s trailed behind his allies after his bragging about being the "Ace." Lost in these thoughts, Gilbert goes about his morning sparring in the park, where he runs into Saho.

Leo drives Tiger and Wolf away with the incredible power unleashed by his Bone. For some reason, that power ends up fossilizing Leo Bone. Gilbert claims that when the power was unleashed, he heard the Bone`s "voice," and Tyrone shows a reaction to that word. Long ago, Tyrone`s brothers and sisters heard Rhino Bone`s "voice" and carried its card to Tyrone...

During morning training at the dojo, Shougo watches in surprise as Antonio and Luke have a capoeira vs. aikido battle that indicates just how well they must know each other. After training, Antonio heads out for his part time job as usual. Shougo and Luke go to watch him at work, which turns out to be a juggling performance in town.

As Dragon, Shark, and Jaguar fight against Wolf and Tiger; Dark Wyvern, Dark Eagle, and Dark Alligator appear. Gilbert and Tyrone note their appearance, and run to the vicinity of the Revelation Cocoon. But since their Bones are fossilized, they cannot enter the cocoon or help in any way.

Despite the oppressive power of the Iron Bone, Dark Wyvern, Leo also becomes an Iron Bone and manages to drive it off.. but it seems unlikely that they`ll be able to drive off Dark Wyvern should it appear again. In order to discover how the other Bones can become Iron Bones, Shougo and the team head to the Bone Laboratory in Melbourne.

The examination of Leo Bone and Gilbert continues at the lab, as the scientists try to unlock the secrets of the Iron Bone. Meanwhile, Shougo, Antonio, and Tyrone are at a cafe in Melbourne. It seems that someone inside the laboratory took down the guard system to allow Dark Alligator to break in.

Dark Wyvern`s Adept, Klude, appears in the city of Melbourne. He asks Dragon Bone`s Adept, Shougo, why Dragon Bone sides with the Earth. But Shougo doesn`t know. Despite being an Adept, Shougo doesn`t know anything about the situation, so Klude explains to him how the universe was born, and why the Primordial Majin wants to destroy Earth.

Saho is complaining to Shougo about how unfulfilling her summer has been, when suddenly her father, Katsuya, returns home from a long business trip. Meanwhile on Nepos, Klude meets with Stolz, who is keeping an eye on the young Eques while feeling concern for his daughter, Liebert.

Liebert is troubled. Shougo and the Bone Fighters of Earth, have opposed her time after time. She can`t reconcile their defiance against the Primordial Majin with her own beliefs which, as a Neposian, require her to honor and serve the Majin. When she hears that they have nevertheless somehow achieved Iron Bone status, she goes to ask Klude directly.

A warrior of Nepos, Cerberus, has succeeded in recovering a Bone from a certain planet. He`s a merciless Eques, willing to go to any lengths to recover Bones, even kill all life on a planet. He returns to Nepos Angelis and begins setting things in motion. Meanwhile, Shougo is supposed to write about his strengths and weaknesses for a student-teacher conference questionnaire, but he doesn`t know himself very well, and doesn`t know what to write.

4 years ago...

Just before Swordfish can finish off Dragon, Tiger and Wolf jump in the way and take heavy pressure to their core bones. The two transofrm into Iron Wolf and Iron Tiger and are able to defeat Swordfish and cause him to withdraw. Afterwards they confront Dragon and tell him he can't see beyond his own world. They won't openly work against the Earth from here on out, but they will side only with the winner. Gladis returns and vows to Cerberus to come up with a plan to deal with Victor and Gregory, but Cerberus informs him not to fret because he has things in control. Cerberus has placed Klude on house arrest, removed Drossas and Vyse from power, and removed Klude's bone from him. When Victor and Gregory learn of this development, they volunteer to go find out more details for Liebert. Luke calls his father to tell him about Higashio's development only to learn all the higher-ups knew about it. Higashio talks to Shougo to learn about the enemies change after talking to Shougo. Semiria (Dark Hawk), Ulurra (Dark Owl), and Swordfish then arrive to attack. They form a line and summon the Majin of Water, causing our heroes to form a line and summon the Majin of Fire. Dragon and Swordfish attack each other in their powered up states while Jaguar and Shark do battle with Hawk and Rhino and Leo do battle with Owl. The trio is shocked when our heroes do damage to all of them and force them to withdraw. The episode ends with Shoujo at a teacher-parent conference. It is revealed that his wishy-washy attitude is a big weakness but that his ability to think things through is becoming a huge strength. Shougo then begins to realize he too has changed since meeting the others. Shougo is then confronted by Liebert, but the two are in for a surprise when Higashio stops for one final visit. He didn't come solely for Victor and Gregory. He was hoping to meet someone from Nepos Angelis.

Liebert appears abruptly before Shougo. Then Higashio appears, as if he was waiting for her. Shougo is shocked, but Higashio proposes an exchange to Liebert. Since they can`t return to Nepos, Liebert and her friends are having trouble making a life on Earth --

In order to save her father Stolz, Liebert decides to return to Nepos. The others agree to accompany her, and together, they embark on a dangerous mission to infiltrate Nepos. Shougo learns that life on Nepos is very similar to that of Earth, but is also stunned at their advanced technology and how it exists in harmony with nature.

Shougo and the others head for Stolz`s mansion in order to save him. But the mansion has no guards and no sign of life there at all. Wondering if it might be a trap, the group splits up to search the mansion.

After barely escaping Nepos and returning to Earth with their lives, Shougo and friends are met by Anna, who just happens to have been dispatched to the Los Angeles laboratory. While Higashio and Ian rebuke him, Luke files a report about their safe return. But since their cocoon was destroyed by Wyvern/Klude`s transformation into a Rare Metal Bone, the others need to remain inside the laboratory, which is protected by a barrier.

After realizing she was speaking with Shougo for the first time in twelve years, Chie thinks back on the days she spent as a Bone Researcher and a mother. Ian apologizes to Shougo for being the one who took Chie away from her family by calling her back to the lab twelve years ago.

Shougo`s mother, Chie, has been away from home for twlve years, doing cocoon research on the space station. Shougo uses the radio to speak to her for the first time since she left. When he returns to Japan, Shougo wants to let Kengo and Tomoko know that Chie`s doing okay, but his plans are frustrated by the fact that he can`t tell them about the Cocoon research.

During break time at school, Shougo`s classmates mention the rumors they`ve heard that a beautiful foreigner is staying at the Ryuujin house. They ask Shougo to introduce her to them. Shougo agrees, deferring more questions, and otherwise returns to his typical, trivial conversations with classmates. Meanwhile, Liebert`s Panther Bone recovers from its fossilization.

Liebert, Klude, and the others return from Nepos, bearing injuries from an attack by Ouroboros. They are immediately taken for treatment at the Japanese laboratory. Liebert tells Shougo and the others of the unspeakable power wielded by the members of the Nepos council, of which Ouroboros is a member -- the power to drive a Bone to destruction.

Dark Ouroboros`s attacks have taken out Dark Wyvern. From outside the Cocoon, Stolz, worried about Dark Wyvern`s adept, Klude, finds himself thinking back to the time Klude recovered a certain Bone that served as a certain planet`s core. Klude`s recovery of the core Bone resulted in that planet`s destruction.

Leonard wants to do some tests on Shougo, who became a Rare Metal Bone during the fight with Ouroboros. But there`s no changes in his bio data or Majin Particles, and no trace of him having ever been a Rare Metal Bone. Luke and Liebert are stunned by the depths of the Rare Metal Bone mystery. Meanwhile, Klude and Stolz sneak back to Nepos and go into hiding.

With Klude and Stolz still hiding on Nepos, Revolt tries a plan to recover Dragon Bone without getting involved personally. He calls out Vyse, one of Klude`s former subordinates. Vyse reveals to his comrade Drossas the anxiety he feels about using his White Bone, Eagle, against the Iron Bones of Dragon and the others.

With his experiment at equipping Griffon Bone having proved successful, Revolt finally decides to come to Earth. Meanwhile, Luke and the others are enjoying a christmas party at Cafe Eden with Tomoko and Saho, but Shougo seems restless.

As the New Year begins, Shougo is hosting shrine visitors with his family. Meanwhile, Luke holds a serious conversation with Higashio at the Melbourne laboratory. During their last battle, Dark Cerberus came to Earth in a battle that resulted in Rhino`s fossilization.

Ouroboros has fossilized Rhino Bone and the Melbourne Lab has been destroyed. Danger keeps coming to Shougo and the Earth. In order to help move equipment from Melbourne to the Los Angeles lab, Shougo receives permission from his father to stay in Melbourne for a while. Before he leaves, he pauses to look at the progress being done on rebuilding Saho`s house, and thinks back on everything that`s happened since he first became Dragon Bone`s adept. Meanwhile, Gregory and Victory get a surprise when they look at the data they stole from the Melbourne Lab.

The Melbourne Lab has been destroyed. Shougo and the others move to the Los Angeles laboratory to watch over the recovery of Rhino Bone, which was fossilized in battle. The damage to Rhino Bone is severe, and it`s uncertain if it will recover at all. Tyrone watches the recovery process in concern. Meanwhile, things are happening on Nepos Angelis. Pellbrand and Barlish call for Revolt to be relieved of his council leadership because of his suspicious actions. But a member of the council, Dark Basilisk`s adept, Raquelt, throws in his support of Revolt. And despite finding Revolt`s actions strange, he goes to recover Dragon Bone for him.

The Majin of Earth has appeared, changing Rhino into a Rare Metal Bone. Research on Rare Metal and a new cocoon based on Rare Metal data is proceeding in the Los Angeles Laboratory. Meanwhile, on Nepos Angelis, Revolt is getting annoyed at having now two Majins siding with the Earth. Gregory and Victor decide to go to Earth to resolve the problem. Luke heads out of the laboratory on his own to patrol and keep watch. He has sworn he won`t let it get destroyed the way the Melbourne Laboratory was, but...

Ian informs Shougo and the others that the true purpose of the Revelation Cocoon is to call the Primordial Majin. It was developed for this purpose, and when it`s completed, Chie`s research will be finished. With this revelation, Shougo and the others leave the Lost Angeles laboratory for Japan, and Shougo returns to his life among family and friends. He swears anew to protect that daily life for the day that his mother comes home. Just then, a new Council Eques, Dark Unicorn, arrives.

The Primordial Majin`s appearance has had a powerful effect on the Earth in the form of unusual weather patterns. The next morning, while watching the news about the incident, Shougo learns that Saho witnessed the shadow of the Majins. The arrival of Nepos and the Primordial Majin are starting to chip away at Shougo`s daily life in an unsettling way. With all that on his mind, Shougo challenges his sister Tomoko to a match, trying to grasp some hint of what he should do.

Gustos and Morse suddenly appear on Earth in front of Shougo and the others. They inform them of the tragedy that`s occurred on Nepos. Revolt equipped the planet`s core, Dark Phoenix, and attacked Stolz and Klude. Dark Bat covered to some degree, but Dark Phoenix`s overwhelming power took the two men down. Dark Bat`s power of space took Gustos and Morse to Earth to get them out of danger. Shougo is depressed to learn of Klude and Stolz`s fate, but Antonio`s performance cheers him up a little...

Shougo learns that the Council is seeking "The Joining of the End", a ritual that will free them from the Primordial Majin. That is why they killed Stolz and invaded Earth. Unable to forgive this, Shougo and Rare Metal Jaguar drive away Socius and his comrades.

Chie, Shougo and the others head to Nepos. With Liebert`s guidance, they discover the basement room beneath Stolz`s estate. Upon seeing the altar and the way the crest appears when Shougo touches it, Chie grasps the final clue needed to figure out the Joining of the End and Cocoon development.

The Primordial Majin has begun to move. The Los Angeles laboratory notices this, and hurries to complete the Revelation Cocoon. They need the final version of the cocoon in order to deal with the Primordial Majin. Meanwhile, on Nepos Angelis, Shougo and Liebert have escaped from Revolt. Without the cocoon, Shougo can`t equip Dragon Bone and fight. But just when it seems like running away is all he can do, Gregory and Victor appear before them. Shougo and Liebert brace for a fight, but...

Dragon keeps up the fight against Cerberus, and turns Rare Metal in his rage over Panther`s defeat. But he has a hard fight against Cerberus, who has control over three elemental abilities. To make matters worse, out in space, Leo is the only one left to fight Unicorn and Basilisk, and he`s been completely fossilized except for his left arm.

Having obtained three planetary cores -- Dragon, Phoenix, and Griffon -- Cerberus conducts the Joining of the End. But Stolz equips Phoenix`s Bone parts and calls to Phoenix`s core bone, stopping Revolt`s ambition.

The Primordial Majin is starting to destroy the universe. As the Adept of Earth`s core, Shougo should be able to use the Revelation Cocoon to contact the Primordial Majin, but the Primordial Majin does not respond to him.
