The Snow Queen Story Zone

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Gerda, and a boy named Kai. The two always were together, closer than siblings and inseparable no matter what. One day, splinters from a troll-mirror got into Kai’s heart and eyes, and he was no longer the kind boy that he once was. Then, Kai caught the Snow Queen’s attention, and he was soon dragged into the Snow Queen's Palace in the land of ice and snow. Left all alone, Gerda has set out on a long adventure to find her beloved Kai. And then...

Story summaries

White Out I (ホワイトアウトⅠ)

The heroes enter the Story Zone where a blizzard awaits them. The heroes set out for somewhere warmer, and they come across a little girl walking all alone in the mountain. As the heroes were worried about her safety, they chase after her deep into raging blizzard.

White Out II (ホワイトアウトⅡ)

They find her collapsed under the never-ending blizzard. As the heroes try to get her to safety, Villains ambush the heroes.

The heroes defeat the Villains. However, the girl is very ill. To find a place for her to get some rest, the heroes start searching for a shelter.

Save Gerda I (ゲルダを守れⅠ)

As the heroes take rest in a cave, the girl wakes up. The girl introduced herself as Gerda, and she came to the mountains to find the [Snow Queen]. Explaining how her best friend, Kai, has been kidnapped by the Snow Queen, Gerda wants leave as soon as she wakes up. The heroes convince Gerda that she should get some rest until Gerda feels better. At that moment, Villains appear. To protect Gerda from harm, the heroes stand their ground.

Save Gerda II (ゲルダを守れⅡ)

Although the attack has stopped, the heroes don’t feel safe yet. Then, Gerda starts to talk more about Kai. Seeing how Gerda is like her about having a brotherly figure, Shane promises Gerda that she'll help her save Kai. Then, Villains attack again. Will the heroes stand their ground once more?

Save Gerda III (ゲルダを守れⅢ)

After defeating the Villains, the heroes set out for the Snow Queen’s Palace. Judging from how the blizzard is blowing in a vortex-shape, Shane deduces that the palace must be in the middle of the storm. Amazed at Shane’s cleverness and kindness, Gerda offers to become friends.

Encounter with Kai (カイとの遭遇)

Although Shane and Gerda get along well, Tao can’t shake off a bad feeling about Gerda. Then, Kai appears with Villains by his side. The heroes confront Kai, who came to carry out the Queen's order to kill the intruders.

False Kindness (偽りの優しさ)

The heroes ask Kai why he is acting like this. However, Kai simply says he is following the [Book of Fate], and he mercilessly attacks the heroes, including Gerda. Although Kai brings out a Mega Villain, Gerda seems unfazed with Kai’s actions and just wants him to return. Could there be a secret between these two?

Even as the Mega Villain fell, Kai doesn’t want to go back to Gerda. Then, Gerda suddenly threatens Shane with her staff. Gerda seemed colder than ice as she says that she'll sacrifice Shane in place of Kai to the Snow Queen. It was then revealed that Gerda lost her feelings by the splinters of the troll-mirror. She wanted to save Kai only because her [Book of Fate] said so. As the situation worsens, the heroes and Kai suddenly find themselves in an avalanche. And when the avalanche passes, Shane and Gerda goes missing...

Piece that you Need I (あなたに必要なピースⅠ)

The heroes manage to find Shane and Gerda. Tao was furious at Gerda, as she hurt Shane whom he loves like his own sister. However, Shane still asks Tao not to be mad at Gerda. Gerda couldn’t understand why Shane was like that. Shane saw herself in Gerda, and that’s why she couldn’t just leave her by herself. The heroes chase after Kai, arriving near the Snow Queen’s Palace.

Piece that you Need III (あなたに必要なピースⅢ)

As they get close to the palace, Shane asks Gerda why she is trying to bring Kai back. As Gerda answered that she wanted to have her feelings back, Shane promises Gerda that she'll help her. The others also join Shane’s cause and vow that they'll bring Kai back from the Snow Queen.

Temperature of Sense (感情の温度)

Everything in the Snow Queen's Palace was made of ice. As the heroes arrive at the palace, Kai appears once again. Kai warns Gerda to go away. Sympathizing why Kai is acting like that, Tao guesses Kai's motive. As Gerda was cursed instead of Kai as it should have been, Kai couldn’t bear to see Gerda lose her emotions. Desperately denying Tao's words, Kai musters a horde of Villains.

One Rose in the Heart (心に一輪のバラを)

Having been defeated, Kai finally reveals the truth. Kai was only following the Snow Queen to recover Gerda’s emotions. Knowing the truth, Gerda finally starts to feel emotions again. Then, the Snow Queen appears to separate the two. For toying with Kai and Gerda's feelings, Shane was furious at the Snow Queen. The heroes then fight against the Snow Queen to end her schemes.

The Snow Queen was defeated, and Kai and Gerda get back together. Having broken the curse, Gerda becomes a kind soul once again, She says her feelings towards Kai and thanks Shane for helping her. Bidding farewell to Gerda who could finally smile from her heart, Reina beings the [Attunement] of the Story Zone. After everything turned normal and spring came once again, Gerda and Kai returns to their home. The village is filled with the two's laughter again.


Tropes appearing in this episode:

  • Boss Battle: The Ruthless Snow Queen.
  • Easily Forgiven: Shane has no problem about forgiving Gerda for basically threatening her life by sarificing her to the Snow Queen so that Kai could be saved. Tao and Gerda are very confused by Shane's attitude.
