Rebecca Bluegarden passes out in the Edens Zero's bath, dreaming of a battle against robots where her friend Shiki Granbell is several years older and her companion Happy is dead. Awakening in the ship's infirmary, Rebecca learns that Shiki has led their friends Weisz Steiner, E.M. Pino, and Homura Kôgetsu aboard the space fortress Belial Gore to investigate its leader, Drakken Joe, who has been pursuing their ship. During their investigation, Shiki's team encounters an elderly version of their enemy Sibir from the present timeline, where he now works as a bartender aboard the Belial Gore. Sibir briefly reconnects with Weisz, his former friend, but inadvertently frightens Pino, who was mistreated by his alternate self. Shortly afterwards, Drakken publicly exposes the team's presence aboard his ship, trapping them and sending his three personal minions to raid the Edens Zero.

Weisz defeats Laguna with remote assistance from crewmate Hermit Mio, returning his liquefied teammates to normal, but is shot by Fie, the Element 4's fire-using sniper. Sibir helps Shiki's team escape from Fie and shelters them in his bar, where they request medical treatment for Weisz. Due to Sister Ivry's preoccupation with interrogating Maria, Rebecca and Happy are sent to deliver medicine made from Sister's healing Ether. They are intercepted in space by Sylph, the Element 4's wind user, but Rebecca evades her by channeling her "Leaper" Ether Gear's speed into her starfighter.

Jinn overpowers Shiki after entering Overdrive, a state of heightened power, while Kleene corners Homura as she escapes with the medicine. Meanwhile, Rebecca is brought before Drakken, who explains that he is pursuing the Edens Zero specifically to recruit her based on information that her guild master, Noah Glenfield, betrayed to him, addressing Rebecca as "No. 29".

Drakken brings the four crewmates to an underpass to punish them for their infiltration, destroying Weisz's medicine and selling Happy and Pino to a junk shop, which coerces Rebecca into joining him for her friends' safety. Drakken has one of Weisz's arms cut off as a warning, and reveals that Maria's team, whose android members faked their destruction, have seized the Edens Zero. While his friends are terrified into submission, Shiki defiantly promises to defeat Drakken someday, but is shot in the head and killed by Drakken.

Rebecca believes the past week to have been a dream, but after she learns about and stops her friends from disembarking to the Belial Gore as before, it becomes apparent to the crew that she has made a time leap to the past with her Ether Gear. Using Rebecca's knowledge of the future, the crew thwarts Maria and her team's infiltration, and directly crashes the Edens Zero through the Belial Gore to rescue Labilia, who is still Drakken's captive. Drakken furiously prepares to kill the Edens Zero crew except for Rebecca, whom he calls "No. 30".

He explains that "No. 29" and "No. 30" refer to two of several alternate timelines Rebecca has created since her childhood traffic accident, which subconsciously triggered her power, and that his true intention is to defeat Drakken in the current timeline, World No. 30. Noah further reveals that Drakken is allegedly undead and uses a life support machine to maintain his youth, but his transmission signal is lost before he can elaborate on Drakken's weakness.

Meanwhile, Shiki's team rescues Labilia, whom Rebecca finds mysteriously unharmed despite appearing to have been tortured for some time in World No. 29. Sibir guides the group to safety, revealing that Drakken has remained young for over 200 years, being the funder of his and Weisz's gang fifty years in the past. Rebecca deduces that Drakken wants her Cat Leaper to transfer his mind into his past body because his life support machine is losing its effectiveness. Labilia suddenly decides to assist the crew in defeating Drakken, unveiling herself as an imposter.

Drakken uncovers the group to capture Rebecca, but Shiki sends his friends away while he personally battles Drakken. The group finds Drakken's life support machine guarded by Jinn, who relents when Amira explains that the machine absorbs the life force of everyone around it, including Kleene, potentially killing them. Weisz is enraged by the revelation and storms off against Amira's wishes for him to reverse the machine's effects and weaken Drakken. Hermit offers to reprogram the machine once its security device is destroyed, which Jinn does after Sister agrees to treat Kleene for her mental illness. Meanwhile, Drakken enters Overdrive and nearly turns Shiki into stone, but is interrupted by Weisz, who accuses Drakken of killing someone precious to him.

Before Drakken can kill Shiki to trigger Rebecca's power, Shiki's gravity draws in his memories of his final moments in the previous timeline, causing him to achieve a complete Overdrive. Pino's memory is likewise affected, allowing her to forgive Sibir when she recalls his friendship with Weisz. While the Shining Stars destroy the Satellite Blaze with the Edens Zero's main cannon, Shiki also gains Drakken's childhood memories, witnessing how Drakken's obsession with immortality began as a means of making friends due to his shortened lifespan. Pitying Drakken, Shiki declares himself to be his friend before defeating him.

Joined by Jinn and Kleene, the crew travels to planet Blue Garden to meet Noah, who reveals his secret identity as a G.I.A. director to regain their trust, while Labilia begrudgingly thanks Rebecca before resuming their rivalry. Shiki decides to revisit his home planet, Granbell, still believing his robot friends there to be infected by a virus that causes hostility towards humans; Connor also travels to Granbell in his ship, the Edens One, which has not been destroyed in World No. 30. Upon arrival, Shiki's group discovers the robots' deaths by Ether depletion, as well as video evidence that their infection was an act devised for Shiki to escape with Rebecca and Happy. The group is suddenly approached by Demon King Ziggy, Shiki's adoptive grandfather, who has mysteriously reactivated despite his own death ten years earlier.

Ziggy beckons Pino to join him, forcing her to begin deleting her memories while he destroys the Granbell Kingdom with his gravity, but she stops herself when Shiki persuades her to make her own decisions. Shiki's crew escapes Granbell as Ziggy boards the Edens One and crushes the island. Ziggy introduces his new android crew, the Four Dark Stars, and orders Connor, his reluctant human servant, to destroy the Edens Zero.

Elsie boards the Edens Zero to discuss Ziggy's change, revealing her past as a war refugee whom Ziggy rescued and entrusted with delivering the Edens Zero to Shiki. She also reveals that she had been monitoring Ziggy since her last encounter with Shiki, having detected a dark, unfamiliar Ether from his remains, leading to her discovery that Ziggy is seeking Mother again.

Rebecca realizes the corpse outside is Andrew's, but withholds the truth to spare Nadia's feelings, as Nadia believes humans to be as long-lived long as androids. Witch and Laguna's powers allow Shiki to safely to obtain the beacon, a trace of Mother's Ether from a Relic, one of several artifacts imbued with her energy. Before the crew leaves in search of more Relics, Witch informs Nadia of Andrew's death by an asteroid collision that trapped his ship in orbit during his return with the Relic.

Aboard Ziggy's satellite, Weisz and Hermit find it being operated by Hermit's past abuser, the mad scientist Müller, who has become a cyborg and allied with Ziggy. Müller paralyzes Weisz and restrains Hermit to continue experimenting on her, while the nearby Kleene goes into severe mental shock from a malevolent presence. Meanwhile, Shiki and Homura face Beast's most powerful squad, but the squad is easily apprehended by Justice's subordinates Victory and Creed.

Meanwhile, Weisz manipulates his Arsenal suit to move his paralyzed body and release Hermit, enraging Müller into commanding the infected robots to kill all humans.
