Senki Zesshō Symphogear XV (戦姫絶唱シンフォギアXV Senki Zesshō Shinfogia XV?, lit. "Superb Song of the Valkyries: Symphogear XV"), subtitled "Create a history, with the light God could not know",[Notes 1] is the fifth and final[3] season of the Senki Zesshō Symphogear series.

Cast[]

Synopsis[]

Intending to turn the Divine Power against the Gods themselves, the progenitor of humanity Adam Weishaupt was struck down by the Symphogear, transmuted by the Lapis Philosophorum powered by Saint-Germain's ideals.

The secretive Bavarian Illuminati met its end, and the remnants forced into a corner by the actions of various governments. And— The Illuminati weren't the only ones driven into a corner.

Although they wish for a political solution in order to prevent the embargo from becoming the spark of a new global conflict, conflicting expectations of national parties led only to discord, and progress is nearly non-existent.

Even Japan, one of the countries involved, had sent an appeal to America for a cooperative partnership to mend the broken relationship between the two countries. Despite this, the act began and ended in superficiality and no agreement was ever reached.

The fate of the world is one that no-one can yet see. Furthermore, the tensions run high at home as well.

From a place where all the city's landmarks could be viewed at once, riding in a gondola on the large Ferris wheel famed as a dating location, were Lydian Private Music Academy students Tachibana Hibki and Kohinata Miku.

The taiyaki they hold in their hands, filled with rice dumplings, are splendid. Without being too sweet, the epitome of red bean paste has no faults to speak of.

Yet even so, as tension runs between them, Miku calmly poses a question to Hibiki. Sure enough, a question that the answer to which lies only within Hibiki, who is at a loss for words.

The threads of legend weaved in the past converge on XV. The battle around the Holy Shroud occurs in the dead of summer. With the bursting lake's surface as their stage, the Girls' voices unleash their radiance.

# Title[Notes 3] Original airdate
1 From the Horizon of Mankind's History
人類史の彼方から
"Jinruishi no Kanata Kara"
July 6, 2019
Going off of data retrieved from Tiki's remains, the Symphogear users head to Antarctica, where they are confronted by a powerful automated "coffin" that Adam was investigating. Despite the overwhelming odds, Hibiki and the others manage to destroy the coffin, inside of which they find the corpse of a Custodian.
2 The Day the Sky Falls
天空(ソラ)が堕ちる日
"Sora ga Ochiru Hi"
July 13, 2019
On the way back from Antarctica, a remnant alchemist of the Bavarian Illuminati, Elsa, attempts to retrieve the Custodian's corpse, but is forced to retreat by Shirabe and Kirika. Later, as Tsubasa becomes too worried about the attack to focus on her concert, Maria gives her some encouragement and ends up performing with her during the concert. However, another alchemist, Millaarc, sends Alca-Noise to attack the concert, slaughtering practically everyone in attendance and placing a seal on Tsubasa, who is left emotionally devastated. Meanwhile, as the corpse is analysed by the Americans, it turns into dust when the bracelet on its wrist is scanned.
3 Penny Dreadful July 20, 2019
Hibiki and Chris are sent into action after Elsa and Millaarc attempt to silence a delinquent that witnessed a deal between them and some men in suits. Retrieving a briefcase filled with a rare type of blood that was dropped by Elza, S.O.N.G. deduce from the delinquent's account that an organization is helping the alchemists. Shortly after awakening from her ordeal, Tsubasa is further shaken from harsh words from Fudou, who states she isn't strong enough to protect people. Later that night, Kirika and Shirabe confront Millaarc after she targets a hospital for more blood, but she escapes thanks to Vanessa, the third alchemist of their group known as Noble Red. Afterwards, it is revealed that Vanessa, who now possesses the Bracelet of Shem-Ha found on the corpse, is working together with Fudou.
4 The Name of the Flower is Amalgam
花の名は、アマルガム
"Hana no Na wa, Amarugamu"
July 27, 2019
As Fudou and Noble Red attempt to activate the Bracelet of Shem-Ha, one of suited men before, who is about to be killed for his failure, attempts to use it for himself, only to be destroyed by it. With their hideout destroyed by the resulting explosion, Vanessa distracts Hibiki and Maria to help the others escape to a new location, revealing that she and others want to regain their human bodies. Discovering that Vanessa was planted with a tracking device during the battle, Noble Red lures the Symphogear wielders inside a labyrinth to attack them from all sides. However, Hibiki is aided by the spirit of Saint-Germain inside of her and granted a new power known as Amalgam. Just as Hibiki gains the upper hand and tries to reach out to Vanessa, S.O.N.G. is raided by the Japanese government, who demand that they abort their mission.
 
5 The Hidden Thing in the Bag
かばんの隠し事
"Kaban no Kakushigoto"
August 3, 2019
Citing Hibiki's Amalgam as an unknown weapon, the supposed inspector from the Japanese government commences an inspection of S.O.N.G. HQ, forcing the wielders to take some days off. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Fudou convinced Noble Red to aid his plan in exchange for the blood they need to survive after they escaped the Bavarian Illuminati. As Hibiki and Miku invite Tsubasa and Elfnein to join them on their day off, Miku lashes out at Hibiki for not being considerate of Tsubasa's feelings. Just then, an Alca-Noise attack occurs nearby, with an illusional effect that Millaarc cast on Tsubasa during their last battle causing her to envision the enemy as Millaarc and go berserk in her attacks. Meanwhile, the real Millaarc uses the battle as a distraction to chase down Miku and Elfnein.
6 Xenoglossia
ゼノグラシア
"Zenogurashia"
August 10, 2019
Miku and Elfnein are kidnapped by Noble Red and brought to the Chateau du Triffages to further their plans, involving both the Bracelet and a mysterious device. Meanwhile, as the wielders learn that Miku is a potential vessel for a god, Vanessa targets Shinji in order to retrieve some evidence that would link them back to their hideout. As Maria and Chris are sent to stop her, a golden light shines from the castle, where the mysterious Shem-Ha emerges.
7 Cutting the Tangled Thread
もつれた糸を断ち切って
"Motsureta Ito wo Tachikitte"
August 17, 2019
After Millaarc attempts to use mind control to have Elfnein activate the Chateau, the bracelet goes out of control and spawns Shem-Ha, who proves too powerful for Hibiki to defeat. Retreating to base, the gang learn that the waveform used by the creature is similar to a song Maria used to sing. Back at the Chateau, Elfnein's plea for help causes the Autoscorers, whose spare bodies were chained to the reactor, to reactivate and come to her aid. As the Autoscorers are all defeated trying to hold off Noble Red until reinforcements arrive, Elfnein manages to call upon Carol's powers to defend herself.
8 XV August 24, 2019
Reawakening inside Elfnein's body, Carol manages to fend off Noble Red and get in touch with SONG, instructing them to deal with Shem-Ha while she tries to rescue Miku. As the wielders struggle to utilize their phonic gain without Hibiki, Noble Red attempt a second attack on Carol by trapping her in the labyrinth, but Carol uses up her power to both break out of the labyrinth and provide the others with the phonic gain they need. Returning to the fray, Hibiki is aided by the others and uses Amalgam to break her way inside through the enemy's attack, only to discover that Shem-Ha has taken over Miku's body.
9 I am a father August 31, 2019
Just as Miku tries to resist Shem-Ha's control, Fudou uses the seal placed on Tsubasa by Millaarc to have her turn against the others and bring Miku to him as part of his plan. Joining a raid of the Kazanari household, Maria clashes off against Tsubasa, managing to slap some sense into her and break the seal on her. Fudou attempts to shoot Tsubasa for disobeying him, only for Yatsuhiro to sacrifice himself protecting her. Meanwhile, Noble Red, who were betrayed by Fudou, attempt to steal Miku to use Shem-Ha's power for their own gain, only for Miku to cut them down and break free. Standing against Fudou, Tsubasa manages to get approval to use Amalgam to overpower him, but Genjurou steps in to prevent her from killing him because if she were to kill Fudou then Tsubasa will turn out no better than her grandfather (which is why Yatsuhiro drove her out of the Kanzanari family). At that moment, a device activates on the Moon.
10 Not a Crude Color of Rust
卑しき錆色に非ず
"Iyashiki Sabiiro ni Hizu"
September 07, 2019
Maria attempts to take on Shem-Ha, only to discover she has revived Noble Red as more complete monsters and recruited them to her side, forcing Maria to retreat while Shem-Ha rises a tower known as Yggdrasil. Fudou was apprehended and awaiting trial for his crimes, cursing Genjurou that songs cannot save the world and the Power of God unifies humanity. With a research team scheduled to be sent to the moon to investigate lunar ruins that are reacting to Yggdrasil, the wielders are tasked with protecting the rocket from Noble Red, who have become more powerful due to Shem-Ha's improvements. Although the rocket is destroyed, Kirika and Shirabe use their Amalgams to overpower Elza before Tsubasa allows the wielders to hijack Noble Red's teleportation spell, sending them to the lunar ruins.

Trivia[]

  • In one frame of XV episode 2, on a board displaying the time and date of Tsubasa's concert, it is revealed that the present year is 2045.
    • 2045 also appears as a year in a document in XV Episode 5. This is inconsistent because:
      • In S1E1 and G episode 8, 20XX was the year shown in a newspaper and on a monitor respectively.
      • In S1E3, 2011 was the year shown on a video watched by Miku and Hibiki.
      • In S1E4, 2011 was the year shown on a video uploaded by Miku.
      • In G episodes 6 and 7, 2012 was the year shown on a monitor.
      • In G episode 11 and XV episode 3, 2013 was shown as a year on some monitors.
    • This, the timeline of events and the information given throughout past seasons imply that this anime takes place in an alternate future.
  • The poster for XV, and the final scene of the season, visually calls back to the last scene of S1, where Hibiki and Miku are seen stargazing together.
