Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast

Synopsis

Continues the story of BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!

In their final year of middle school, the five members of the band CRYCHIC went through a painful breakup. Each of them carried their own regrets and went off to different high schools, trying to stay away from one another. Anon Chihaya transfers into Haneoka Girls' Academy halfway through the year, where a lot of students play in bands as a hobby. Anon wants to be part of this trend and pictures herself as a vocalist. As she tries to put together band members, she becomes friends with Tomori Takamatsu, a quiet girl who seems interested but unsure about joining. Anon doesn't know that Tomori used to be in CRYCHIC and still has emotional wounds from that time. Tomori introduces Anon to Taki Shiina and Soyo Nagasaki, who were also in CRYCHIC. Taki doesn't want to play music with Anon, but Soyo is encouraging and willing to help. With Soyo's support, Anon's dream of starting a band gets closer to coming true—if she can just find a couple more members.

In this installment

After Sakiko Togawa's once-privileged life falls apart, she painfully breaks her promise to CRYCHIC, leaving a deep wound inside her. Struggling financially and haunted by the tarnishing of a treasured memory, she reaches a critical turning point. Driven by a fractured sense of purpose and a desire to reclaim what she lost, Sakiko forms Ave Mujica, a masked symphonic metal group. Rather than sharing a common goal, each band member pursues their own personal ambitions, resulting in a haunting mix of loss and renewal expressed through gothic theatrical performances. As these individual motivations clash, old wounds from their pasts resurface. The fragile illusion they have constructed begins to crack, threatening to plunge Sakiko into complete chaos.
