Seasons & Episode
Kosuke Ueki has been given the power to change trash into trees for the battle to decide who would be the next King of the Celesial World. But if Ueki were to attack non-power users with his trees, then he will be punished by losing one of his talents. If all of Ueki's talents are gone, he will vanish.
Thanks to Seiichiro Sano, Ueki defeats Taira. As Sano leaves, he talks about the Talent of Blank… Afterwards, Ueki and his school's running team practice with another school's running team. However, Ueki is soon lured into a trap by Adachi, who can turn cotton into stakes.
Mori is determined to learn more about this tournament so when the opportunity arrives to gain such information from Mr. K, she leaps at the chance. During their talks they are interrupted by another gifted. Unlike Ueki’s previous opponents, though, this one is different. Li Ho prefers to use his own body to fight rather than his given ability. When Li Ho starts smashing Ueki’s trees with his bare hands, not even the sarcastic talent can help our hero. So what can he do when Li Ho unleashes his most powerful attack: The Count of Monte Cristo?
With another win and another zai under his belt, Ueki is able to relax for a little bit. When traveling by train one day, he meets Junichi Baba a.k.a. B.J., a hip-hop enthusiast who takes an immediate liking to Ueki. So why does he also say his name is Robert Haydn when he discovers that Ueki is also a gifted? Fortunately, B.J.'s ability to turn coins into wind is not enough to stop Ueki. The two part on friendly terms, but when the real Robert Haydn shows up, what will happen to Ueki’s new friend?
Mr. K sacrifices himself to save Ueki from certain death.
Ueki finds out why Mr. K was so interested in him. Ueki also gets a new God Candidate, Yodogawa (AKA Yotchan), who wants him to drop out of the battle. Ueki fights his next opponent, Bolo T, who can turn his forehead into a diamond.
Ueki's next opponent is Onimon (full name - Oniyama Monjirou), who can turn the dirt he kicks into cannon balls. This guy is different from all the other guys, and it's not because he likes to shorten names.
The fight between Ueki and Onimon reaches its conclusion. A week afterwards, Onimon trains Ueki so that Ueki can fight a stronger enemy known as Kuro Kage, one member of Robert Haydn's Ten.
Ueki continues his fight against Kuro Kage, whose sad past is told by Kuro Kage's little brother.
Ueki's fight with Kuro Kage comes to an abrupt end when Kamui Rosso (a.k.a. Shiro Kage) takes out Kuro Kage. Ueki defeats Shiro Kage and is then asked to join Robert's Ten. For some reason, Ueki accepts.
Robert has Ueki peform an entry test for him to pass if Ueki wants to join the Ten. Ueki then picks a fight with one of Robert's Ten, Allegio Yuriano. Mr. K discovers the truth about Ueki and Robert.
A large Heavenly Beast appears during the fight between Ueki and Aleggio. Ueki learns more about his potential powers as a Heavenly Being from the Beast, who befriends Ueki.
Ueki tells the rest of Robert's Ten (except Robert himself) that he defeated Aleggio. As a result, the Ten's Don decides to fight Ueki. Using his power to change his finger ring into a rocket, Don soundly defeats Ueki. In order to get stronger, Tenka has Ueki train in the Awakening Organ so that Ueki can raise his Heavenly-Being rank.
Now a 4-star Heavenly being, Ueki easily defeats Don in their rematch. Word about this gets out to the rest of Robert's Ten, including Marco Mardini and Rinko Jerad, whose sad past is revealed.
Ueki's exhaustion finally catches up with him. So, Tenko places Ueki in a Healing Chamber. Ueki will have to tay in the chamber to heal for 12 hours. While Ueki heals, Tenko and Rinko must fend off the remaining members of Robert's Ten, Oni, Becky Wolf, and Myoujin Tarou.
Ueki battles Myoujin, the last of Robert's Ten. Myoujin uses his two powers to overwhelm Ueki.
Ueki recieves an invitation to a "party" held by Robert Haydn. So, Ueki, Rinko, Inumaru and Mori all go to an arcade that leads to Robert's underground theme park called Dogura Mansion. There, Ueki fights in the first round against Yun-Pao, one of the new members of Robert's Ten.
Ueki continues his battle with Yun-Pao, still trying to figure out Yun-Pao's limit. Later, in the next fight, Mori finds herself battling on the Cossack Field against Kabara, a member of Robert's 10 and a notorious hunter known in the underworld.
It's Rinko vs. Kabara, and they fight in the...cat field? The objective is to get the opponent to get eaten by a cat, and to do that, they have to turn into a mouse! Slap the cat's nose and they become a mouse! Kabara seems to have the advantage in this one thanks to his ability to fly, but Rinko has a few tricks up her sleeves: some new weapons and a...love of animals?
Ueki battles against Sano on the Rope-Jumping Field. The real reason why Sano joined Robert's Ten is revealed.
Ueki continues his fight with Karlpaccho, who has more tricks up his sleeve. An event from Robert Haydn's past is revealed.
After Robert's past is revealed, Ueki begins his battle against Robert.
The battle between Ueki and Robert reaches its climax!
Ueki meets a new enemy named Anon, who is even more twisted than Robert Haydn ever was.
The second round of the Battle of the Supernatural Powers is coming in three weeks, and the power-users can form 5-man teams. So, Ueki and Mori try to find a fifth member for their team. They meet Hideyoshi Soya, a very tricky power-user, but he's being targeted by his own God Candidate, Zack, to join his team of evil power-users.
Zack and his team of power-users try to coerce Hideoyoshi into joining them by threatening to destroy the Sun House orphanage. But not if Ueki has anything to say about this!
The Ueki team's next opponent is the Marilyn Carrey team, who defeated Caption's team in less than five minutes! What's more is that Li Ho has challenged Ueki to a fight, and Rihou has significantly grown stronger since their last encounter.
The battle between the Ueki team and Marilyn team begins. Marilyn is so confident that her team will win that she vows to defeat Ueki's team in four minutes!
Ueki's strategy of stalling for time has been found out and it greatly amuses Team Marilyn that Ueki would think of such a thing. Revealing their history of growing up on the battlefield, Ueki finally understands just how combat ready these opponents are. Leaving Baron to deal with Ueki, the other Team Marilyn members give chase to the remaining members of Team Ueki…
Ueki is left to face Marilyn who has a strange ability to dodge every single attack Ueki throws at her. After some careful testing, Ueki discovers she can stretch 1 second into 10 seconds, thus being able to attack and move at seemingly rapid speeds. Marilyn is quick to display how advantageous this power truly is on an unfortunate Ueki. Meanwhile, Sano is left to face he-of-the-six-arms, Matthew. No matter what Sano throws at Matthew, it is all shot down…
Mori faces Memory all by herself. Still unsure of her power, she tries to bluff for time while waiting for her teammates. Unfortunately, Sano can't hear her cries for help and Ueki just passed out! Left on her own, Mori can only run away from the battle experienced Memory. Mori tries desperately to solve the mystery of her power, trying out every idea that pops in her head…
Ueki and his team are sore about Anon ambushing them before their fight with Team Caption, and they aren't the only ones, but they choose not to dwell on the situation. Instead, they get some time to relax at home on Earth. Ueki heads back to his home and finally reveals everything that is going on about him being from heaven and his current fight for the God candicacy…
God continues telling his story of the past and the girl he met, Haruko Ueki. After saving her from the bullies, she tries to pay him back, first by force feeding him several plates of curry, then by a whole mess of other thing. Eventually, God is able to escape, but not before he finds an elderly woman whose foot gets stuck in a railroad track. God knows that he can't interfere with life or death situations on earth, but just when it seems that the woman will die, Ueki jumps in and helps the woman. Seeing the girl's determination, bravery, and optimism towards the future, God jumps in and saves them both…
The final round is approaching and everyone is contemplating the upcoming round. Ueki and Mori chit chat and Ueki gives her his lucky charm, telling her she needs it more than he does. Souya sits on a cliff and comes to the conclusion that he is useless and a hindrance. And Rinko and Sano walk along in the forest, and Sano comments on how she still loves Robert. He tries to ease her troubles by telling her that they will get Robert back…
Rinko and group fight Anon and a long battle ensues. After going through several basic attacks, Ban and Diego creat a combination attack, while Sano uses a new special attack which, unfortunately, we never see. However, even these are ineffective. In the meantime, Ueki begins training inside the Heavenly Beast that Hellion Margarette has become, while Ai runs to meet up with everyone at Anon…
Ueki was able to beat Anon using Maoh. They went back to school and Sano studied geography to make and Rinko dumped Robert. Kobasen became Ueki's new homeroom teacher and the talent he wrote on the blank zai was "reunion".
