X-Men Anime Season 1 Episode 1 - When Jean "Phoenix" Grey's mind is taken control of by Mastermind and the Inner Circle, she sacrifices herself to protect the world. A year has passed since Jean's death, and the X-Men have since disbanded and the Xavier Institute closed. When Charles Xavier receives word that a mutant named Hisako Ichiki has been kidnapped, he sends out a call to Storm, Wolverine and Beast. After being informed they are to fly to the Tohoku region of Japan, where Xavier's psychic abilities can't seem to reach, Wolverine and Storm go to talk to Cyclops, who has been brooding since Jean's death, in order to convince him to join them.
X-Men Anime Season 1 Episode 4 - Emma's desire to protect Hisako causes her to develop a secondary mutation protecting them from the attack, whilst the other X-Men kill the attacking U-Man. After Hisako is reunited with her parents, she and Emma agree to go to the Xavier Institute to receive a vaccine to prevent "David Haller Syndrome" in secondary mutations. En route back to New York, the Blackbird is attacked by a mutant suffering from DHS which Wolverine defeats. Emma recognizes him as a student from the Inner Circle's preparatory school. Upon returning to the Institute, Beast tries to investigate the boy's condition, but he shrivels up and dies. Beast concludes that the cause of his secondary mutation was not due to experimentation but some other stimulus. As Beast performs checks on Emma, Xavier reveals Cerebro is still being blocked from Tohoku. With Emma's secondary mutation on the same level as the boy, though hers is deemed harmless, Xavier suspects something is still going on in Tohoku which is causing these mutations.
X-Men Anime Season 1 Episode 6 - As the X-Men arrive back in Tohoku, Hisako's parents inform them of strange things that happened whilst they were away. As Beast administers the vaccine to various mutants, some of which have already started going through secondary mutation, the other X-Men investigate the abnormalities, including a strange volcanic area by the river and a twisted metal bridge. As the X-Men fly towards the center of the area in which mutants have been affected by secondary mutation, Emma starts hearing a painful noise and the Blackbird is shot down. Upon landing, the X-Men witness the Blackbird being attacked by living snow before they are attacked by another U-Man, who uses their powers against them. However, Beast manages to find its weak point, allowing the others to defeat him. They spot he has a mutant detection device before he self-destructs himself. As a snowstorm kicks in, the X-Men finds shelter in a lodge owned by Yui Sasaki, the woman Xavier mentioned, who was the headmaster of a mutant institute Hisako went to when she was little.
