Ian used Doraemon gadgets to help Machi, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the emerging Phantom Troupe before leading them toward a life outside Meteor City. After rescuing Uvogin from the Third Elder’s prison, the group fled toward the border while Ron pursued Ian and Uvogin.
Ian led the Phantom Troupe out of Meteor City, using his inventions to evade Ron and help them adapt to life in Ejin City. After clashing with Mizaistom and Ankeli and arranging identity papers through Kazan, Ian gave the grieving Dreyn a lethal enhancement liquid for his revenge against the Kalie Gang.
Ian rescued Mina and Dreyn, gathered new allies and Nen items, and formed Dawn to protect people from exploitation. The arc left Dawn confronting Silva after he tortured Dreyn, with Feitan’s poisoned umbrella finally wounding him.
Ian defeated Silva, spared him after exacting a price, and began reshaping Ejin City with Xia and Kazan. As the Justice Rope spread through the city and bonded with Elina, Ian’s conflict with the Gogar Royal Family over the Dark Sonata drew in Ging, while Netero arrived in Ejin City.
Ian secured Netero’s support for investigating the Nen threat beneath Ejin City and introduced a training gate for his companions. As the group faced political and criminal threats, Ging arrived at Sharku Manor to rescue Elena and clashed with the Troupe.
Ian fought Ging inside his Game Space, then returned to Sharku Manor and drew Milluki and Illumi closer to him. When Rune Insects emerged from the Gugurian Ruins and threatened the country, Ian agreed to help Netero and arrived at the site.
Ian and the Hunters confronted King Gondor IV Sashado, then uncovered the sealed threat beneath the Ruins and learned that Elina was tied to the ancient seal. The arc ended with Ian rejecting the V5’s authority as the group prepared to deal with the Fear-Eaters.
Ian sealed the Fear-Eaters with Eluna and Aimina, then brought the sisters to Sharku Manor to teach his companions. As Sashado attacked Feilieka and the Scythe of Judgment arrived in Ejin City, Ian’s growing vine and its defenders drew the newcomers into a battle.
Ian avenged Steel Shell, defeated the Justice Ropes’ attackers, and joined Netero’s fight against Sashado in Feilieka. While Netero battled Sashado, Ian discovered that the approaching Ise forces were planting Rose Bombs and sent Aimina to stop them unseen.
Ian survived the Rose Bomb crisis and turned his attention to training and a treasure hunt at the Gandor Ruins, while Sashado resurrected and began destroying cities. The arc left Ian recovering at Sharku Manor as V5’s forces reached devastated territory and Sashado advanced toward Peji.
Ian intervened in the battle between Sashado and V5 after their weapons killed civilians, moving Peji City and rescuing its survivors. He left Sashado and V5 to fight in the forest, where V5’s new bombs appeared to destroy Sashado.
Ian rescued survivors from Sashado’s devastation, moved them to Ejin City, and used his gadgets to feed them and rebuild their homes. As Sashado threatened the world and the V5 weighed its response, Ian brought Younian and Elena to meet Princess Egina and prepared to confront the forces endangering the country.
Ian destroyed Gogar’s royal leadership after learning it had plotted against him, then took Ging to the Dark Continent and explored its forest. Meanwhile, Netero persuaded Maha and Zeno to test Ian’s Performance-Enhancing Liquid, leaving Maha eager to know whether Sashado could match his new strength.
Ian and Ging explored the Tutantlu ruins, where Ian awakened the Seat of Light and unleashed a threat he had to contain before leaving the Dark Continent. Back home, Cat Teacher escaped the Gate of Glory, died and revived after a breakthrough, then Ian rushed him to Netero after learning Netero had been gravely injured by Sashado.
No recap yet. An arc gets one once it has 25 chapters.
