List of Story Arcs

This is a list of the story arcs in Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka.

There are five major story arcs in the manga, each taking place in different locations and serving different facets of the Babel Brigade's master plan to end the world. The 2019 anime adapts two of these arcs.

Babel Brigade Arc
This arc consists of chapters 1-12, which were adapted into episodes 1-5 and episode 7.

It mainly deals with Asuka Ootorii making friends, reuniting with Kurumi Mugen and deciding whether she wants to join M-Squad, all while the Babel Brigade deploys terrorists across Tokyo and Abigail tortures Asuka's new friend Nozomi Makino to lure a Magical Girl to turn into the Magical Girl of Mass Destruction.

Okinawa Arc

While on a school trip to Okinawa, Japan, Asuka and Kurumi are suddenly told to protect the Spirit World Trade Conference, which will be attended by General Tabira and a new powerful magical item. Eyeing this item, the Ring of Ouroboros, Giess and Chisato Yonamine from the Babel Brigade turn the conference (and Okinawa) into a war-zone, and Asuka and Kurumi, along with Mia Cyrus and Tamara Volkova, must fight back.
