What is Z/X Ignition?#
If you are looking for a series that blends high-stakes conflict with strategic elements, Z/X Ignition (also known as Zillions of enemy X) is a compelling choice. The story centers around the sudden appearance of five “Black Points” across the globe, which serve as portals to parallel worlds.
Strange creatures begin invading from these portals, representing five different worlds that exist in different timeframes. To ensure their own specific future survives, these five invasion forces engage in a brutal battle to wipe out the others. At the center of this cosmic struggle is a crucial card-shaped device.
If you’re ready to jump into the action, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is the Anime Finished?#
When asking if the anime is “finished,” it is important to look at the overall franchise. There are two primary anime entries: Z/X Ignition and the subsequent Z/X Code reunion.
For those who prefer to stick strictly to the anime, you will find a narrative arc spanning these two productions. However, if you are the type of viewer who feels the need to dive into the source material for a definitive conclusion, be aware that the Z/X Code reunion manga went on an indefinite hiatus in June 2018. This means that continuing with the written material may not provide the complete closure some completionists seek.
If you’d still like to collect the physical editions, you can buy the manga here.
