On October 13, a less than a year after the events of the “Academy Island Incident” between four of the seven Kings, Silver Clansmen Kuroh Yatogami and Neko have been searching for their master, Yashiro Isana. Without finding any clues to his whereabouts, the two became disheartened. However, one day, they see HOMRA members Rikio Kamamoto and Anna Kushina being chased by someone.

Story
The actual movie starts on top of a rooftop with the Blue King, Reisi Munakata. Progressively, SCEPTER 4 is dispatched to the territory of the Gold King as another clan invades the residence of the Gold King. A clansman, Yukari Mishakuji is introduced, attacking the clansmen of the Gold King. Yukari standing over what appears to be a slate.

Kuro and Neko meeting with Kukuri Yukizome. They start out casually with Kuro inquiring how the Academy Island has been since they left, and Kukuri comments that only the tower and the big crater  (where the kings fought)  remained the same. Kuro has a brief flashback. It turns out that the whole story occurs almost a year after the death of the Red King and the disappearance of the Silver King. Neko makes a joke: “Shiro, how far could you have been blown away?” Kuro and Neko splits up after Shiro’s disappearance to search for Shiro, but so far they have come up with nothing. Neko suddenly sits up abruptly, cutting of Kuro’s thoughts and points past Kukuri and Kuro stating that she saw two members from HOMRA. Kuro then asks Kukuri to head back to the academy first as he and Neko pursues the HOMRA members.

the two HOMRA members are Kamamoto Rikio and Anna, being pursued from a member of the green clan, Douhan Hirasaka, that had attacked the Gold King’s tower. Kuro protects them and states that Anna is under his protection, before the clansman disappears. Kuro asks why they are being chased by the Green clan, Jungle, and Rikio answers by stating that they want to use Anna to track down the Silver King as he was the only person capable of thwarting their plans. Kuro and Neko demands if Anna can locate Shiro or if he is alive, but Anna says that she can’t at that moment, nor did she knew if Shiro is alive. Rikio then tells them that since Mikoto’s death, Kusanagi Izumo went away and left Anna to his care, and HOMRA is almost completely disbanded. Kuro asks about Misaki Yata, then the scene changes, showing Misaki inside Kusanagi’s bar, watching an old recording on his 18th birthday. Kuro then suggests that they continue their discussion at their base in the Academy Island.

They encounter Yukari Mishakuji who Kuro revealed to be Miwa Ichigen’s former clansman. Kuro asks Rikio and Anna to run as he faces off with Yukari. As Rikio and Anna runs away, the masked clansman appears, slashes Rikio from the back, and kidnaps Anna. Kuro and Neko gives chase while an injured Rikio makes his way back to Kusanagi’s bar. Rikio tells Misaki to get himself together as he informs of him of Anna’s kidnap. Rikio then suggests that Misaki asks for Saruhiko Fushimi’s help since he had access to the Blue Network.

Misaki calls Fushimi, asking him for help to track down Anna’s whereabouts. Fushimi gives him the coordinates of the Gold King’s tower.

As Kuro and Neko stands outside of the Gold King’s headquarters, Kuro tells them that they have to wait and observe for a while, saying that it was more than stupid to invade the Green clan without a plan. Upon saying that, Misaki suddenly ambushes the tower, making Neko comment: “That is stupidity at its best!” So without any other choice, they followed Misaki inside and fought their way through to where Anna was being held captive by the masked clansman and Yukari Mishakuji. While Misaki faces off with the masked clansman, Kuro faces off with Yukari. At some point, Kusanagi shows up to protect Neko, then Misaki. Asking Misaki to buy him some time by distracting the masked clansman, Kusanagi talks to a caged Anna.

Anna having a dream with her eyes open. Upon waking up in a bed, she sees Totsuka Tatara. Tatara notes that her face looks distressed and she tells him that she had a nightmare wherein Tatara dies and Mikoto dies from getting his revenge of his death and that HOMRA slowly became disbanded. She takes her words back almost immediately, saying that she must be in a dream instead, and Tatara confirms it immediately. Mikoto appears and Anna rushes to hug him.

Anna becomes the new Red King and this is only proven further as the Sword of Damocles of the Red King hangs over the tower in which they are inside. Outside the tower, marks on former HOMRA members appeared at the appearance of the new Red King. Yukari and Kuro take their fight inside. Yukari then states that Kuro’s sword is empty which then makes Kuro questions his purpose of wielding a sword. Neko tells him not to lose and questions him if he wishes to see Shiro again. Kuro then recalls the oath he made of offering himself and his life to the Silver King as his clansman, giving him the answer to his own question. Kuro and Yukari then fights again, but the fight is interrupted as the Green King, Hisui Nagare, through a vassal of a parrot orders for Yukari to stop since Anna was not an abducted HOMRA member anymore, but the new Red King. Yukari comments that he would not be satisfied until he had beheaded someone, but follows the Green King’s order still, bidding Kuro goodbye and until they meet again.

The new Red King, along with the others, exits the tower and was greeted with the sight of the HOMRA members and a sword salute by the SCEPTER 4. Anna approaches Munakata, acknowledging his saving of them. Anna’s eyes fall onto Munakata’s sword, and the Blue King placed it in his hands before her upon noticing her gaze, stating that it was the one that killed Mikoto. Anna then comments that she would not hold any ill-feeling towards him since Mikoto had wanted for Munakata to kill him, but that did not mean that she would express any gratitude for his actions. The scene ends with the Third King and the Fourth King agreeing upon placing the Gold King’s tower under the SCEPTER 4’s responsibility.

The last scene shows Kuro and Neko with Kukuri back inside the Academy Island. Before they parted, Anna apparently gave Kuro one of her red marbles as a charm, but the orb actually reflected that Shiro was still alive somewhere. Kuro and Neko tried to call out through Shiro via the marble, but Shiro could not hear them. The scene focuses to where Shiro is then – on a temple located at the bottom of an airship – with the Gold King who was revealed to be dying. It was revealed that the Gold King has saved the Silver King’s original body from the sea and had it restored to its original form. Shiro then states that he would not run away anymore from the new world/beginning. The Gold King then remarked how it is a waste to close one’s eyes before he slowly succumbed to death.
