Aozora's Adventure: The Plots So Far

Since the Wiki is pretty out of date (the old Wikia/Fandom one, not the ShoutWiki one which completely omits these longer-scale stories altogether for the time being), I decided to make one large comprehensive list of the stories (or well, game concepts) that the series currently has as of August 2018.

Most of them are some you may be familiar with if you ever saw the Wikia wiki, but a few of them have been altered since the last couple of years to reflect changes that I had made in the background to them. Plus, for your convince, I made the plot summaries as brief as possible. If you happen to recognize any new characters that aren't on the ShoutWiki (and there are a couple), I'll go into detail of them next time.

Arc 1
Aozora’s Adventure - Aozora notices a sudden increase in the crime rate in his hometown via local news channels, investigates, meets the A.C.E.S. and chases them across Japan to Joker’s Castle.

Aozora’s Adventure RPG - Deciding to take a brake form Japan, the now 18-year-old Aozora takes a trip with Satoru to Paris… only to be swept on another adventure thanks to rookie pirate Gill.

Rock-Aozora - Joker manipulates a group of experienced fighters from behind the scenes into waging a war against each other, causing their respective stomping grounds to be overrun by monsters.

While Taku tries to fix the plane (including getting the help of locals), Aozora runs off to find parts and battle Erebos and his forces. The bosses are the result of Aozora unintentionally invading their residences and Erebos turning them against Aozora.
