Dort hoffen sie, mehr über Caimans wahre Identität herauszufinden. Stattdessen werden sie jedoch Zeuge von etwas, das alles, was sie bisher geglaubt haben, infrage stellt …

In einer Stadt, so düster, dass sie nur als „Loch“ bekannt ist, leben die Menschen in immerwährender Furcht vor den brutalen Magiern, die grausame Experimente an ihnen durchführen. Nichts und niemand scheint sie retten zu können. Doch nicht alle Menschen ergeben sich blind ihrem Schicksal: Um sich von seinem Fluch zu befreien, beginnt Caiman, gemeinsam mit der Barbesitzerin Nikaido Jagd auf den Magier zu machen, dem er sein monströses Aussehen zu verdanken hat …

Caiman und Nikaido sind auf der Suche nach dem Magier, dem Caiman sein monströses Aussehen und den Verlust seiner Erinnerungen zu verdanken hat. Dabei zögern sie nicht, jeden Magier zu töten, der ihnen begegnet. En, der mächtigste aller Magier, hat nach langer Suche jemanden gefunden, der die Zeit manipulieren kann.

Um Zaha Sanko und seine verfluchten wunscherfüllenden Knochen endlich in die Finger zu kriegen, ist dem Weltraumkonzern Koryokukai alles recht! Daher haben sie sich mit der Bruderschaft des Lichts zusammengeschlossen, einem uralten Weltraumkult, der es ebenfalls auf Sanko abgesehen hat und nun an einer neuen Geheimwaffe tüftelt. Doch glücklicherweise hat Sanko nicht nur die geheimnisvolle Kraft der Dunkelheit auf seiner Seite, sondern auch einen Haufen erschreckend mächtiger Weltraumspinner! Blöd nur, dass Letztere ebenfalls auf der Abschussliste stehen …

Hinata Boggo trifft erneut auf seine Nemesis Zaha Sanko, nachdem er zum Lichtkernwesen Hinoumi-Wah geworden ist. Während er bereit ist, alles zu riskieren, sieht Sanko sich einer starken Bedrohung durch Shinelight Ocean gegenüber, der zudem einen seiner wunscherfüllenden Knochen gestohlen hat.

Eigentlich ist Zaha Sanko ein ganz normaler Teenager. Wenn man davon absieht, dass seine Knochen mit einem Fluch belegt sind. Und er nicht gerade Leute mit seiner Axt aus purer Dunkelheit abschlachtet. Also eigentlich ist Zaha Sanko ein ganz normaler Teenager – und noch dazu der meistgesuchte Typ im Universum. Und im Augenblick Gefangener eines uralten Weltraumkults. Doch glücklicherweise eilen seine Freunde (auch bekannt als die anderen meistgesuchten Typen des Universums) schon zu seiner Rettung!

W konsekwencji Sanko i jego potworny towarzysz Avakian przemierzają wszechświat, próbując znaleźć sposób, aby uwolnić się od nieustannego pościgu. Czy ich mroczne umiejętności wystarczą, aby odeprzeć kolejne zamachy na życie chłopaka?

Nachdem sie den letzten übertrieben merkwürdigen Meuchelmörder platt gemacht haben, haben Zaha Sanko und seine Freunde beschlossen, im Dunkel, der geheimnisvollen Welt der Finsternis, eine kleine Erholungspause einzulegen. Das Dunkel selbst mag vielleicht viele Geheimnisse beherbergen, doch keines von ihnen kommt an Sankos Begleiter Hajime Damemaru ran. Wer ist Damemaru eigentlich, und warum zum Henker will der Kerl einfach nicht tot bleiben?!

Sanko und seine Freunde haben sich auf den Weg nach Kenzan gemacht, einem Planeten, der unter der Kontrolle des Light-Head-Ordens steht. Dort versuchen sie, einen der Obermacker des Ordens ausfindig zu machen, um Information über den geheimnisvollen Ort Zora aus ihm rauszuquetschen. Doch so unauffällig, wie sie sind, werden die Abscheulichen Vier natürlich auf der Stelle entdeckt! Da Damemaru selbstredend schon wieder sofort ins Gras beißt und noch dazu Sanko und Shimada aus Versehen entführt werden, muss ausgerechnet Avakian zum Helden der Stunde werden!

Brud, nędza, ruina – tak w skrócie można opisać Dziurę, miasto przypominające ogromne slamsy.
