It is the essential bridge between Season 1 and the final chapter, K: Return of Kings . The Plot: A Search for a Ghost The story picks up one year after the devastating "Kagutsu Incident." The balance of the seven kings—the "Strain" of reality—remains fragile. The Red Clan, HOMRA , is a shell of its former self. Without their impulsive yet charismatic King, they have disbanded, leaving the loyalties of characters like the hot-headed Yata Misaki and the stoic Fushimi Saruhiko (now firmly in the employ of the Blue King, Reisi Munakata) more strained than ever.
The plot is set in motion by a sudden, inexplicable event: the massive Dresden Slate, the source of all King's power, begins to move. Simultaneously, a new, formidable group of female Strains appears, using mysterious floating spheres to "seal" the powers of Kings and Clansmen alike. Their target: Neko and Kuroh Yatogami, the two companions desperately searching for their lost master, Shiro. K- Missing Kings

To survive and find Shiro, the cat-like Strain Neko and the stoic swordsman Kuroh must form an uneasy alliance with their former enemies—Yata and Fushimi.

The action sequences are smoother and more ambitious, particularly a breathtaking chase sequence involving motorcycles, floating debris, and blue and red aura slashes.
