Symphogear XV

Synopsis

Continues the story of Symphogear AXZ

In Symphogear AXZ, Hibiki Tachibana confronts her greatest ordeal yet—summer homework—despite having defeated formidable foes, rescued countless people, and weathered many perilous scenarios. While her life as a high school student seems ordinary, her work with the military organization S.O.N.G. is far from it. As a Symphogear user, she wields ancient, powerful armor alongside her team to handle global emergencies and disputes under the authority of the United Nations. During a briefing at S.O.N.G. headquarters, Hibiki learns about the Bavarian Illuminati, a clandestine group linked to earlier disasters and now active in the war-torn nation of Val Verde. Hibiki and her team storm one of the Illuminati's facilities, liberating hundreds of hostages. When they are discovered, the Illuminati leaders—Saint-Germain, Cagliostro, and Prelati—reveal themselves and their alchemical abilities, announcing a worldwide revolution that sacrifices thousands of lives. To face this new menace, Hibiki and her allies are thrust into their most grueling and devastating battle yet against the Bavarian Illuminati.

In this installment

In Symphogear XV, humanity faces the Custodians, an ancient intelligent race believed to have caused the diversification of human languages thousands of years ago. The Symphogear users—Hibiki Tachibana, Tsubasa Kazanari, Chris Yukine, Maria Cadenzavna Eve, Kirika Akatsuki, and Shirabe Tsukuyomi—are assigned to retrieve a crucial artifact located in Antarctica. They successfully obtain the item and rescue scientists threatened by a Coffin, an automated guardian of the relic. After the mission, the artifact is transferred to American research facilities according to international agreements. Meanwhile, remnants of the disbanded Bavarian Illuminati, now operating as the criminal group Noble Red, pursue the recovered artifact. Can the Symphogear wielders and their allied team, S.O.N.G., prevent the sinister plans of those opposing them?
