Story Plot

Main article: Rave Story Arcs

Characters of Rave Master (from left): Tanchimo, Plue, Elie, Griff, and Haru

It all begins in the year 0015 when a force known as the "mother" Dark Bring, Sinclaire, threatened the world. Sinclaire had the power to create more dark brings, which were evil stones that bestowed incredible powers on the bearer. The Kingdom of Leagroove used these dark brings to conquer neighbouring nations, until only one nation stood in its way, the Kingdom of Symphonia. In an attempt to stop the Kingdom of Leagroove, Holy Bring, or RAVE as it came to be known as later, was created to defeat the Dark Brings. Rave could only be wielded by the Rave Master, who was Shiba at the time. // There are 7 story arcs in Rave Master. ... Image File history File links Groovecast. ... Image File history File links Groovecast. ... Dark Bring (Shadow Stones in the english anime) are evil magical stones from the Japanese Anime show and Manga series, Groove Adventure Rave (called Rave Master in the american version). ...

Shiba, the first Rave Master, attempted to destroy Sinclaire with his sword, the Ten Forms. The resulting explosion, known as "Overdrive", destroyed one-tenth of the known world. However, in truth, it destroyed much less than that because most of the world had yet to be explored.

The "Holy Bring" or "RAVE", was named after its creator, Resha Valentine, using the first and last letters of her first and last name. Resha Valentine created Rave using the incredible power within her, known as Etherion. Rave was used to power the ultimate form of The Ten Commandments, but it was shattered in the Overdrive, breaking Rave into five pieces. Shiba was able to hold onto the piece that was required to power the sword, but the remaining pieces were scattered across the world. In the end, Shiba was unable to destroy Sinclaire, but it too was broken into five pieces by the Overdrive.

Fifty years later, Haru Glory, a teenager living on the peaceful Garage Island discovers a strange creature with a small white body, and a huge drill-like nose while fishing. He names it "Shabutaro" at first until he encounters a wizened old man called Shiba, who corrects Haru by calling the creature "Plue". As it turns out, this Shiba was the first Rave Master and he explains that Plue is actually his long lost companion and also the Rave Bearer.

Soon, Feber, a member of Demon Card, an organization that is attempting use the Dark Bring to take over the world, finds Shiba and demands that he hand over the Rave. Shiba refuses and tries to retaliate by using the Rave's power. It fails and Shiba is quickly injured by Feber's giant arm cannon. Shiba hands Haru the Rave and tells him to run away. Haru refuses and tries to help Shiba. With Rave clutched in his fist, he punches Feber. To everyone's surprise, Haru manages to unleash the Rave's power with this punch, defeating Feber with an explosion. Seeing this, Shiba realizes that Haru has been chosen by the Rave to become the second generation Rave Master. Thus begins Haru's search for the other pieces of Rave and his quest to defeat the Demon Card.

Reception

In the Manga reviewers guide, published by Del-Ray in 2007, they gave the Rave Master manga a positive review of 3 out of 4 stars. It states that Rave Master had a relatively shaky start, in terms of storyline and art. However, it states that about part way through the first major story arc, the series began to improve and set itself apart from other manga series. Like most reviewers, they stated that Rave Master had a collection of likeable characters.

Anime

An anime was produced by Studio Dean, and it only ran for two seasons. It is unknown why the series was cancelled. It is unknown whether it was complications with the crew (similar to Inuyasha) or ratings dropping (similar to Rurouni Kenshin or Shaman King). The series ended on a major cliffhanger because it only covered less than a third of the Manga series. Many stories, such as Elie's memories, the last two raves, Julia's enslavement, the battle with Lucia, etc were left unresolved. However, the manga was able to last years afterwards, and it concluded the story. InuYasha, a Feudal Fairy Tale redirects here. ...
