Story

In this story, Ditt forgets that he was a Mix Master. But when the time comes to save the world once again, he finds new friends to help him in his battle against Eva and Babel, the two new antagonists. After the battle, Ditt and his friends meet the true antagonist of the season, Red Knight. They find out that Red Knight was once a hero named Kendrick who had a Master Hench named Kayon and couldn't resist the taste of power and decided to enslave henches to get more power. He ended up being enslaved by his own core force. When Ditt and his comrades finally defeated him they thought it was over but they had to deal with another big threat: Red Knight had a friend called Blue Fox, also mad due to his mad quest for power. He is trying to obtain the Dark Mix Masters, such as Youring, Tomo, Juho, Yuna, and Luna. They also have to battle an evil R1 energy being named Root, who is Moreen's brother.

Characters

Main characters

Ditt – He's only interested in playing games and always very good at being lazy. He's also very emotional and always speaks before he thinks. But over time, he starts becoming a boy who learns how to be faithful and learns to value friendship above all. Sometimes his optimism and easygoing personality help the team. Normally he doesn't seem like a nice boy because of his actions and words. But in a battle situation, he always plays an important role in leading the team to victory thanks to his decisive advice that raises the morale of the team.

Ray – A good student who always works hard and really has it together. He always thinks things over rationally before he jumps into a problem. He's very popular at school, but he's not interested in being popular. He seems aloof at times because he doesn't express his feelings very often. But that's partly because he has a repressed sense of inferiority and guilt over his dead brother inside him. He plays the role of the strategist of the team in battle situations.

Aring – She is a female hero with a warm heart. She's a cheerful, outgoing girl. She tries to lead the team when anything happens. She always bickers with Ditt about his lazy habits. She always looks perfect whatever she does, but deep in her heart, she feels lonely. She boosts the team's striking power with aggressive attacks in battle situations.

Moreen – She's often expressionless and doesn't speak much. She was treated as an outcast as a child, but she grew up to be a strong girl. She may be introverted, but she has strong willpower. She has the power to cure others and is very good at defending.
