Hand Shakers - Season 1 (2017)

Tazuna and Koyori must come up with a new name for battle while inside the Ziggurat to avoid being found in the real world.

Koyori gets separated from Tazuna, and because she doesn't have a cellphone, she doesn't have a way to get in touch with him. Fortunately, she's found by President Lily and her little brother Masaru, who take her to play a new game.

Lily and Masaru insist on fighting Single Gear, despite Tazuna's fervent protests. The two of them use cards: Lily, her Tarots, and Masaru, his precious memories deck.

It's time for the School Festival, and Tazuna's class is in big trouble! Can Tazuna use the connections he's made so far to make everything right? And can Koyori learn to cook in time?

Tazuna and Koyori meet their next opponent: Kodama, a powerful idol singer who has defeated many other Hand Shakers. She and her producer are their toughest opponent yet, and together, they overwhelm Single Gear.

Tazuna and Koyori battle Awaza Kodama a second time, and she's just as powerful as the first. Tazuna, and Single Gear, cannot hope to defeat her. Their only choice is to rely on Koyori's unseen strength.

With the last of their foes vanquished, and Koyori now having the ability to talk, it's time for her and Tazuna to take up a part time job. It's a time to reflect on what's gone on so far, meet old friends, and ready the pair for the future.

Makihara once had a partner, and a boss. Together they researched the Ziggurat, and the mystery of Babel's revelations. But when a pair of Hand Shaker children were born, their lives changed.

After years apart, Koyori faces her twin sister Mayumi in battle. Gears and cocoons collide in the Ziggurat to decide their fates.
