Yuuki Yuuna is an ordinary second-year middle school student. She gets up in the morning, gets ready for school, goes to classes, participates in club activities, and has fun with her friends. But there is one extraordinary thing about Yuuna -- she belongs to the “Brave Hero Club.” What does the Brave Hero Club do? Who is the mysterious being called “Vertex?” Yuuki Yuuna and her friends’ story takes place in Year 300, Divine Era
Mimori recalls the events of the Yuki Yuna Chapter, in which she once again became a hero and fought alongside Yuna and her friends as a member of the Hero Club.
A group of pure young girls gathers from various eras at the club room of the Hero Club in Sanshu Middle School in Kagawa with a duty to protect the peace. One day, the club president, Fu, told them that they will come together to make a special udon. Utano suggested Shinshu soba to be best suited as the Hero Club Udon and riled up Fu.
In order to set an example for everyone, the original Hero Club started making a trial udon. Since there are two members who are good at cooking, they were laughing at the easy idea that they would be able to complete the "Hero Club Udon" today, but then the.... incident happened.
The three Yunas worked hard to make udon noodles. However, perhaps they put too much effort into it, and the dough turned out to be harder than expected. With their motto of "act quickly, don't think", the three Yunas get out of the jam by using the only means available to them.
Wakaba and Tamako were feeling like udon after entering the hot springs. What is Udon? While Wakaba is searching for the direction of Hero Club Udon, Tamako is doing the opposite. That is because there are tall mountains in front of her eyes!
A sleepover party for the younger group, consisting of elementary school students and junior high school students. The topic of discussion was how to make the best udon. They discuss various opinions such as what should be tasty, what should look good, etc., and finally complete the best udon ......?
In the Divine Era, when Shikoku became the world, udon is the staple food and the national dish. However, among the Heroes summoned from all over Japan in the past, there were definitely those who favored soba and ramen. There is no way that this will not cause conflict. ......
Mebuki Kusunoki, the commander of the Sentinels, does not have great cooking skills. However, with the help of her friends, she realises that there is something that only she can do. She must be a great member of the Hero Club!
There are Mikos who belong to the Hero Club. They, too, have been struggling with the development of udon for the Hero Club. Using their ability to obtain oracles from Shinju-sama, the god of this world, they try to come up with a supreme udon, but then a helper intervenes!
In the Hero Club where all the innocent girls are gathered, there is a Hero, Chikage Koori who is aware of her own distortion. The only thing that saved her from being distorted by her harsh upbringing was a simple call and a pair of straight eyes. That's all it took.
A member of the Hero Club accidentally drops "something" into the spring. What they have in common leads to a fantastic chaos. It is a fairy tale, a violence, and a mysterious event full of mysteries.
Kokubou Kamen (masked defenders of the country) are trying to develop Udon with a firm idea. However, what stands in front of them, who aim at frugality and simplicity, is that dark heroine who is gorgeous, selfish, and irreverent, and who is always ready to chomechome
The time has finally come for a verdict. But they can't decide on a dish that has no definition and is vague to begin with. What is the right kind of udon for the "Hero Club Udon"? Will the Heroes be able to settle this difficult question?
In her everyday life, Yuuki Yuuna is a hero. As proof, she is in her middle school's Hero Club, where she does her best to help others and bring a smile to everyone's face. But Yuuna, always up to any task, is about to become an even bigger hero. Mysterious destructive forces called Vertexes begin threatening the world she loves, and the Hero Club is called upon by a strange phone app to save it. Along with her best friend Tougou Mimori, as well as sisters Inubouzaki Fuu and Itsuki, they must transform into magical girls in order to battle the Vertexes. In between studying and putting on shows for kids, Yuuna and the Hero Club must fight for the very existence of their world and face the harsh truths behind their own powers, all the while discovering what it truly means to be a hero.
Yuna Yuki, her best friend Mimori Togo, and sisters Fu and Itsuki Inubozaki, are all members of the Sanshu Middle School Hero Club, which is dedicated to helping those that request it via their website. During class one day, upon each receiving a strange 'forestize warning' message on their phones, the four girls find time has suddenly stopped around them before they are enveloped by a rainbow-colored light, soon finding themselves in a strange colorful forest.
With the Vertex able to regenerate its wounds, Fu has Yuna and Itsuki perform a sealing ritual in order to expose its core. Working together, Fu and Yuna manage to destroy the core, defeating the Vertex and returning everyone to the real world. The next day, Fu explains that she was tasked by her organisation, the Taisha, to grant hero candidates the power to fight against the twelve Vertex that threaten Shinju. Mimori, frustrated that she couldn't help everyone during the battle, directs her anger at Fu for keeping things a secret from everyone, but Yuna manages to cheer up a little. The girls are soon brought into another battle as three more Vertex emerge, using combined attacks to keep them from performing the sealing ritual. When the Vertex start attacking Yuna, Mimori becomes determined to protect her and awakens her hero form, using long range attacks to provide support, and together they manage to defeat all three Vertex.
A month following their last encounter, the girls prepare to face off against the fifth Vertex, only for another hero named Karin Miyoshi to suddenly appear and defeat it single-handedly. The next day, Karin transfers into Yuna and Mimori's class, claiming herself to be a fully trained hero sent to supervise the newbies. She reluctantly joins the Hero Club, though is stubborn about becoming friends with the others. That weekend, as the girls plan to meet somewhere, Karin skips out on it, feeling she should not be led astray from her duty as a hero. Later that night, the girls show up at Karin's apartment, revealing they had planned to surprise her with a birthday party. At the end of the day, Karin is starting to get along with them.
Itsuki, who gets nervous when singing in front of others, is anxious about an upcoming test, so the Hero Club decide to go to karaoke to help boost her confidence. Meanwhile, Fu is unnerved by a message from Taisha telling her to expect the worst. As she continues to struggle with her nerves, Itsuki thinks about the burden placed on Fu, who has been looking after her ever since their parents died. Later, as Fu laments getting Itsuki involved with the Vertex, Itsuki assures her that she feels happy being able to fight alongside her. On the day of her test, Itsuki finds a letter from everyone encouraging her to do her best, allowing her to sing with confidence and giving her a goal of becoming a singer. Soon afterwards, as Fu contemplates with worst case scenario, another forestization appears.
Facing up against all seven of the remaining Vertex, the girls start to fight against the first one, only to be caught in a trap by another, who uses a loud bell to disable them. Itsuki manages to stop the bell, but then three Vertexes merge to form a single more powerful Vertex, proving resilient to their attacks. Not willing to give up, Fu and Mimori use their trump card, the Mankai form, to defeat the combined Vertex, while Itsuki uses her Mankai form to stop a smaller, faster Vertex from reaching Shinju. Fu then risks herself to buy time for the others to seal the remaining Vertex, whose core is discovered to be a massive one positioned in the stratosphere. Yuna and Mimori head to space together in order to fight against the core, using their Mankai forms to destroy it. Following the battle, Karin is relieved to find everyone alive and well and reports their victory to Taisha.
After receiving checkups at the hospital following their battle against the Vertex, Fu is revealed to have lost some vision in her left eye while Itsuki has lost her voice, both of which they assume to be temporary symptoms caused by battle fatigue. However, upon discovering Yuna has also lost her sense of taste and that she herself has gone deaf in her left ear, Mimori fears that these symptoms could be a side-effect of the Mankai form and gets in touch with Fu about it. Meanwhile, Karin, who hasn't been affected since she didn't use the Mankai form, has been avoiding going to the clubroom, as she fears she no longer has any purpose now that the Vertex are gone. However, Yuna manages to find her and convince her that, even with no-one to fight, the Hero Club will still carry on like it always has. Touched by Yuna's friendship, Karin convinces Taisha to let her stay at Sanshu Middle School until graduation, while the girls make plans for summer break.
Taisha rewards the girls with an all-expenses-paid trip to a hot spring inn during their summer break. The girls enjoy a day on the beach, have a delicious meal, relax in the hot springs, and tell some ghost stories. The next morning, Mimori reminisces about a ribbon she was holding onto when she lost her memory in an accident and wonders if their battles are really over. After the group returns home, making plans for the culture festival on the way back, Fu is summoned to the clubroom where she discovers everyone's old transformation cellphones, as well as a new fairy for herself, with Taisha warning her that another attack is to be expected.
After Fu informs the others that their battle isn't over yet, with each girl besides Karin receiving an additional fairy, the girls soon come up against another forestization. Discovering the remaining Vertex, finding it to be overflowing with cores, Yuna quickly disposes of them using the power of her new fairy, causing some worry amongst her friends. When the forest disappears, Yuna and Mimori end up separated from the others, having been summoned by a hospitalized girl, who reveals herself to be a former hero named Sonoko Nogi. Sonoko reveals to them the secret of the Hero System, in which heroes permanently lose the use of a bodily function in exchange for the power granted by the Mankai form, further revealing that heroes are effectively sacrifices to Shinju who can never die. On top of the shock both girls feel upon hearing this, Mimori is also saddened as she seems to know Sonoko, but is unable to remember her.
Yuna and Mimori relay what they've learned from Sonoko to Fu, who asks them not to tell Itsuki and Karin until they know for certain. Despite hearing from Itsuki's homeroom teacher how Itsuki has been suffering due to her missing voice, Fu remains in denial, hoping that things will eventually get better. The next day, however, Mimori reveals to Yuna and Fu that their fairies were actually created to prevent them from dying, even by suicide, proving that everything Sonoko said to them was true and that their symptoms are permanent. This leads Fu to become distressed, knowing that Itsuki's voice will never return and she will never achieve her dream of becoming a singer. Angered by having gotten everyone involved, Fu seeks to destroy the Taisha, even preparing to battle her way through Karin to this end. However, Yuna and Itsuki stop her from fighting, showing her they have no regrets joining the Hero Club.
Mimori recalls the events following the loss of her memories, including her first meeting with Yuna and how they came to join the Hero Club. Having discovered her legs and memory were lost because of the Mankai form and that everything from her standard of living to moving near Yuna was arranged by Taisha, Mimori once again approaches Sonoko, who tells her the true nature of the world. Investigating a hidden barrier facing opposite the Shinju, Mimori goes inside to discover a hellish landscape filled with smaller Vertexes that are rebuilding the ones that were already defeated, dooming the heroes to continue battling until they become completely disabled. Not wanting the others to suffer like Sonoko did, Mimori believes the only solution is to destroy Shinju and blasts a hole in the barrier, unleashing several smaller Vertexes into the forest.
Learning Mimori is at the center of the Vertex outbreak, Yuna and Karin chase after her into the barrier, learning what Mimori herself had learned. Before they can try to reason with Mimori, who believes destroying the Shinju is the only way to spare her friends from suffering, Yuna and Karin are forced to retreat from the Vertex.
Yuna is forced to fight against Mimori, who can't bear to lose her memories of everyone like she did with Sonoko, or be forgotten about herself. However, Yuna states her determined feelings to never forget about Mimori and manages to stop her. With the Vertex's final attack headed for Shinju, all of the girls, despite the afflictions caused by their Mankai forms, band together to block the attack, with Yuna delivering the final blow just in time, after which their fairies disappear, ending their role as heroes.
