The story

Fifty years ago, malevolent stones known as Dark Brings brought about the "Overdrive," a calamitous event that destroyed one-tenth of the world. In the present day, the nefarious organization Demon Card seeks the Dark Brings' power for their all but innocent intentions. Haru Glory, a sword-wielding silver-haired teenager, inherits the title of Rave Master: the person who wields the power of the legendary Rave Stones, artifacts capable of destroying the Dark Brings. However, the many Rave Stones were scattered across the globe as a result of the Overdrive, allowing Demon Card to continue their malpractices.

Rave Master recap

Fifty years ago, a weapon called Rave was shattered into stones in a battle against an evil force called Dark Bring. On quiet Garage Island, a boy named Haru Glory meets Shiba, the old Rave Master, and his odd dog-like companion Plue, and inherits the Rave and the Ten Commandments, a sword with ten forms. Haru sets out to find the scattered Rave stones and destroy Dark Bring. He travels with Elie, a cheerful girl who has lost her memory and carries a mysterious power called Etherion, and gains friends like Musica, a silversmith, and Griff. He fights Demon Card, the Dark Bring organisation led by King, whose ties to Haru's father Gale Glory come out along the way. After that, a new group, the Oracion Six, takes up the fight.

Rave Master ending explained

The 51-episode anime covers only the first part of the manga and does not finish the story. In the last episode, "Further Mysteries, Part 2," Elie recovers some memories, the Oracion Six take a new leader, Lucia Raregroove, and Haru and his friends set out to find the last two Rave stones. The manga continues the story to its end.
