The Elusive Samurai
In 1333, Hōjō Tokiyuki is the reluctant heir to the regency who partakes in mischief; he meets with Hōjō ally Ashikaga Takauji as the latter departs to quell a rebellion led by supporters of the Emperor. Tokiyuki is later startled at the presence of Suwa Yorishige and Shizuku, who have come to pray for Kamakura's protection against its enemies. Yorishige shares to Tokiyuki a vision of him being hailed as a hero of a great war in the future, making Tokiyuki uncomfortable enough to leave and hold suspicion with their claims. An envoy reports to the shogunate of Takauji defecting to the Emperor's side and launching a coup against them, leading to mass killings and suicides and the fall of the shogunate, traumatizing Tokiyuki. Yorishige and Shizuku appear again to help him escape under the orders of his deceased father. As they overlook the burning town from a cliff and Tokiyuki wishes on wanting to die, Yorishige abides by pushing him off the cliff where Tokiyuki demonstrates his skills in speed and evasion, using them to his advantage in killing several samurai before returning to Yorishige. Yorishige then speaks on how he can use his elusive nature for survival with Takauji hunting him and they leave to gather more allies.

Plot Summary:
The story follows elven mage Frieren, a former member of the party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King and restored harmony to the world after a ten-year quest. In the past, the heroic group included Frieren, human hero Himmel, dwarven warrior Eisen and human priest Heiter. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors together, a meteor shower that occurs once in fifty years. Frieren agrees to see them again and offers them a better view the next time the celestial event occurs. Frieren then departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical knowledge. Frieren returns to the capital fifty years later; however, humanity has changed, and her former companions have distinctly aged. After one last adventure to see the meteor shower, Himmel dies of old age. During the funeral, Frieren expressed guilt for not attempting to learn more about him. Frieren then pays a visit to her other former comrades. She accepts an offer to teach and care for Fern, an orphaned child adopted by Heiter. She also receives an invitation to travel far north, to the resting place of souls, and see Himmel again to bid the hero a fitting farewell and express her feelings. To fulfill those requests, Frieren embarks on a journey together with Fern while still pursuing her passion for learning magic. Frieren's elven nature grants her an extremely long lifespan, causing her to view periods of years or decades as ephemeral (this perception of time makes her consider the ten-year adventure with Himmel's party a fleeting experience). The story thus takes place across a long time, with periodic flashbacks accompanied by the physical and mental development of characters apart from Frieren herself.

now in a relationship with Maddie, and Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger
have been missing since their encounter with the wild rune. Caitlyn
grows suspicious of Ambessa, who has unsuccessfully tried to conduct her
own Hextech research. Sevika tries to convince Jinx, who is seen as a
hero by the Zaunites, to lead a revolt. While Jinx refuses, Isha gets
captured at a rally by enforcers led by Ambessa's right-hand man Rictus,
prompting her and Sevika to break into Stillwater Hold to rescue her.

creature while Sevika escapes with Isha but is overpowered. Just as it
prepares to kill her, however, it suddenly recognizes her as Powder.
