Kensei is persuaded to switch to skate-leading by Hayato Sasugai, a classmate with a mysterious connection to Reo, in order to finally defeat his rival in a competition.
The current members of the Inodai Skate-Leading Club react angrily to Kensei's sudden entrance. Kensei is a strong singles skater, but he lacks the teamwork skills necessary to be a good skate leader. Kensei's teammates do not believe he is a good fit to be their "Lead" because of his hot-headed, impatient attitude, inconsistent skating performances, and a complicated history with some of the members. However, if the team is to qualify for the Grand Prix Finals and possibly defeat St. Clavis Gakuin, they must work together to resolve these issues.

Mayumi Doujima promises her parents that if she cannot find a star she saw a long time ago on her 14th birthday, she will give up her dreams of becoming an astronaut. When the eccentric Manabu Soutouin hears about her problems, he offers to assist her in her search for the star, along with the rest of Yubiwa Academy's mysterious Pretty Boy Detective Club, whose rules are "Be pretty, be a boy, and be a detective!"
Mayumi, on the other hand, is special in that she has the ability to see things that ordinary people cannot.

As a result, she believes that playing soccer with other girls will only bring her down. She is only motivated to give it her all when she is up against people she considers to be worthy opponents. Sumire Suou, meanwhile, is a promising rookie with exceptional talent—talent that is hampered by a team that can't keep up with her.
Suou, accompanied by her close friend and rival Midori Soshizaki, and Onda, persuaded by her former coach to join a girls' soccer club, cross paths as members of the Warabi Seinan High School girls' soccer team. Both girls begin to show their full potential and skills in this new field.

Kohachi Inugami, an occult detective, arrives in a remote village in the Japanese countryside, tasked by a local inn's hostess to look into a series of incidents involving rotting and mutilated livestock corpses that have been appearing for no apparent reason. Inugami notices a strange young boy working in the fields while surveying. The young farmhand, shunned by his peers and dubbed "Dorotabou" for his foul odor, is surprised that anyone would be interested in him.
Curiosity has piqued Inugami's interest, so he enlists Dorotabou's help with the investigation, despite the villagers' scorn. Unbeknownst to Dorotabou, this investigation will open up a strange new world for him, revealing one of the beast-like entities known as Kemono who coexist with humans, as well as giving his life new meaning.

Yomogi Asanaka, a first-year high school student, comes across a starving man under a bridge one day after school. The strange drifter introduces himself as Gauma and tells Yomogi that he is a "kaiju user," a person who deals with "kaiju"—monsters that cause harm to the city and its citizens.
Yomogi runs into Gauma and his classmate Yume Minami the following evening. A kaiju appears in a populated area of the city at the same time. Due to Gauma's lack of experience with kaiju, he summons a giant robot known as Dynazenon by pulling a mysterious object from a glowing pouch. The mecha drags Gauma, Yomogi, Minami, and Koyomi Yamanaka—an unemployed man who was wandering the streets—into its cockpit, requiring the cooperation of four people.
Their encounter with the kaiju is the start of their battle with kaiju eugenicists—kaiju users who manipulate kaiju for nefarious purposes—and their quest to unlock Dynazenon's full potential.
