To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts (Japanese: かつて神だった獣たちへ, Hepburn: Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-tachi e) is a Japanese dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Maybe. The series is published by Kodansha in Japan and by Vertical in North America. An anime television series adaptation by MAPPA premiered on 1 July 2019.

Plot

100 years after settlers on the continent of Patria established a democratic nation, the discovery of an energy source called Somnium ore sparked a conflict. The nation of Patria split between the industrial Northern Union and the mining towns of the Southern Confederation, and began fighting a civil war. While the South had greater numbers, the North had a secret weapon: The Incarnates, soldiers who could transform into giant mythical beasts and single-handedly destroy enemy emplacements. However, when the war ended and a peace treaty was negotiated, the Incarnates were supposed to be destroyed. Instead, an officer named Cain betrayed his superiors and fled with the surviving Incarnates across the continent. Two years later, an Incarnate named Hank has made it his mission to hunt down the surviving Incarnates, assisted by a young woman named Schaal who blames him for killing her father.

1"To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts"
Transliteration: "Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-tachi e" (Japanese: かつて神だった獣たちへ)		1 July 2019 (2019-07-01)
The Northern Union attempts to attack a fortified stronghold held by the Southern Confederacy in the Patria civil war. After taking heavy casualties, the North unleashes its secret weapon: a unit of shape-shifting soldiers called Incarnates who transform into mythical beasts and destroy the enemy base. The Incarnates are led by Hank and his childhood friends, Cain and Elaine. Elaine is the human scientist who created the Incarnates. The Incarnates help North achieve victory after victory but everytime they shapeshift into beasts, it becomes a little harder to return to human. Eventually, tragedy strikes after one battle when an Incarnate goes berserk, indiscriminately attacking allies and enemies. The Incarnate is killed by Union troops. Hank commands his unit to swear to put down any of their comrades who lose their humanity. As the Incarnates prepare to strike a final blow against the capital of the South, Elaine pulls Hank aside and tells him the North and South are already negotiating a peace treaty. She then shoots Hank with a special "Godkiller" bullet designed to destroy Incarnates, saying she cannot return the Incarnates to humans and they will eventually all become beasts. The only way to save them is to kill them before that happens. She hands a gun to her co-conspirator, Cain, to help her eliminate the rest of the squad before committing suicide, but Cain shoots her instead, unwilling to give up his powers. Two years later, Hank wakes from a coma in Union territory where a Northern intelligence agent named Liza tells him Cain and the surviving Incarnates spread out across the continent wreaking havoc in their beast forms, and Elaine's body was never found. Hank swears to complete the oath from two years ago: to destroy Incarnates who went berserk, and begins his new mission as a Beast Hunter.
2"The Dragon's Daughter"
Transliteration: "Ryū no Musume" (Japanese: 竜の娘)		8 July 2019 (2019-07-08)
John William Bancroft ran an orphanage in a small village with his daughter Schaal. The village and orphanage were poor, partially because of the war with the Confederacy. Union soldiers drafted Will one day as he was compatible with Elaine's Incarnate research, and he willingly went as the government promised to give money to the orphanage and town, which would help everyone. Schaal promises she'll be here when he returns. He eventually does after the war but is trapped in his Incarnate form, a large brown dragon, though his mind remains human. Everyone accepts her father back anyway, the villagers considering him a war hero. After awhile, he began to scream in the middle of the night, troubling the villagers, and cows began to turn up dead, torn to shreds. The orphans are taken away for their own safety. Schaal refused to believe her father was behind it as no one had seen him. That night, she is woken by gunfire and runs towards it to find her father lying dying and Hank standing over him. Hank shoots Will and kills him, then walks away, leaving Schaal to grieve at the unprovoked murder. Vowing revenge, she takes Will's elephant gun and leaves to track Hank. When she catches up with him in a town she shoots him, but a normal bullet can't kill him. Hank asks who she is and Schaal tells him she's Will's daughter, saddening Hank. An Incarnate, Danny, suddenly returns to town and Hank approaches to kill him. Schaal defends Danny as there's no proof he's done anything wrong but Danny admits he has been killing anyone he finds and bringing their blood-stained money back to help the town prosper, smiling. He then attacks Schaal, but Hank kills him. When Hank starts to walk away, Schaal asks if he's going to kill more of his comrades. He tells her of the oath but refuses to say anything more. Schaal decides that since her father died before she could learn anything, she would accompany Hank to see with her own eyes why her father had to die.
3"The Minotaur's Fortress"
Transliteration: "Minotaurosu no Yōsai" (Japanese: ミノタウロスの要塞)		15 July 2019 (2019-07-15)
Schaal and Hank arrive at Roguehill where another Incarnate has built a massive labyrinthine fortress. Liza, a friend of Hank's from the military, meets them. She tells them the fortress was made by the Minotaur, who began making it after returning from the war and still builds it, tearing down the city to do so. Schaal asks if they are going to kill him to when the Minotaur steps onto a balcony and declares to the city the time for war is nigh, unable to accept the war is over. Liza takes her to a tent refugee camp where the people who lost their homes due to his fortress now live. That night Hank and Schaal enter the fortress. Schaal is frightened when she sees a multitude of dead men killed by the booby traps. Hank remembers how Theo, the Minotaur, was scared of dying until Hank inspired him to fight. Hank successfully ditches Schaal when he makes a portcullis fall between them. Liza, who had followed, comes to take Schaal back as she will probably die if she continues. Schaal refuses and Liza helps her open the barrier. Hank arrives at the heart of the labyrinth where Theo greets him, having become drastically paranoid he will be killed by "the enemy". Hank forces himself to say he is Theo's enemy and they fight. Hank is wounded when he falls through the floor. Schaal arrives to beg Theo to stop in vain. Theo swings his axe, but Hank catches it. Liza explains Hank reveals his true power at night as he shapeshifts into a werewolf. Theo says his fear doesn't end no matter how big a fortress he builds so Hank ends it for him by striking him down with his claws. Hank shoots him, saying Theo can finally rest, and Schaal does not call out for him to stop. Captain Claude, leader of the Incarnate Extermination Squad, Coup de Grace, parades down the streets of the Union's capital with his unit. A dead Incarnate lies on a wagon they pull. The people cheer for them while the Union's president watches. Cain is shown with a white-haired girl, looking at a picture of Hank and Schaal.
4"March of the Behemoth"
Transliteration: "Behimosu no Mōshin" (Japanese: 巨獣の猛進)		22 July 2019 (2019-07-22)
Schaal and Hank ride a train taking them into south Patria. They approach a massive iron bridge that linked north and south, a symbol of peace that the war was over. Liza stops the train and tells Hank the Behemoth is nearby. She warns him and Schaal Behemoth is heading east to the iron bridge and will likely destroy it when it reaches it. The military enact a plan of Hank's to stop Behemoth, who was once a quiet man named Artie who liked to draw. While the military fruitlessly pummel it with cannonballs, Hank attacks the joints of its leg, bringing it down. Liza tells Schaal Behemoth hasn't hurt anyone as he's been avoiding populated areas, so he likely has some humanity left. The railway president comes, demanding to know why they haven't killed Behemoth. He dismisses their plan to use dynamite to fill in the valley ahead of Behemoth, saying they should use the dynamite on the beast, and leaves angrily. While the explosives are being set, Schaal asks if there's a way to help Behemoth get to past the bridge where he wants to go, but Hank tells her they are here to kill him. He can't let the Incarnates from the past destroy the current peace. Schaal tells him Behemoth is trying to live peacefully in this age as well. That night, men from the railway knock out the military guards and try to blow up Behemoth, though its hardened skin is undamaged. Enraged, Behemoth kills them and approaches the bridge, though Hank manages to knock it over. Behemoth is buried when part of the cliffside is blown up and then dynamite in the debris are detonated. The force of the explosion has no escape route and is stronger and tears open Behemoth's chest. Behemoth keeps going even as his internal organs are falling out, but Schaal begs him to stop, standing atop the bridge and Hank does the same on the ground. An explosion past the bridge blows out the canyon wall, allowing Behemoth to see the ocean past it. Tears run down Behemoth's eyes as he finally collapses. Hank had recalled how Artie had told him he wanted to see the ocean, and that Hank said he could after the war. When they return to camp, Liza tells them she received a report that Cain had been found in Whitechurch. In Whitechurch, two prostitutes approach Cain but he bites one and she then tears out the throat of the other prostitute.
5"Gargoyle's Judgement"
Transliteration: "Gāgoiru no Danzai" (Japanese: ガーゴイルの断罪)		29 July 2019 (2019-07-29)
Hank, Schaal, and Liza arrive at Whitechurch, a mostly lawless slum city, but no one will cooperate with them since they're military. That night, Schaal, seeing Hank's jacket still has a hole in it from where she shot him, mends it, reminding him how Elaine used to mend his clothes at the orphanage they grew up in. The next day, Liza takes them to a woman who was killed and crucified overnight and Hank recognizes she was killed by Topher, the Gargoyle Incarnate, not Cain. A young boy, Andy, who saw the murder, confirms it. Hank remembers how Topher's sense of justice and boundless will in defeating the Confederacy helped keep the rest of the unit going in the war. He eventually runs off and Shcaal goes after him. Lize leaves to handle other orders. After Schaal tells Andy she's an orphan and she thinks the Incarnates are still human, Andy walks off, stealing an apple. After seeing scars on his arm when she grabs his sleeve, Andy tells her Gargoyle killed his mother. Gargoyle appears in front of them suddenly, saying Andy will pay for his crime (stealing) with his life. Gargoyle leaps at the two and Schaal finds herself unable to shoot him, though Hank appears and tackles him. After damaging one of Gargoyle's wings with a Godkiller bullet, Gargoyle backs away, telling his Captain he has betrayed justice by fighting him and he will wait for him at an abandoned Church. Hank is left wounded from the skirmish. At the Church that night, Cain approaches Gargoyle. After failing to tempt him to simply kill every human in the area, as he will only kill evil ones, Cain gives him a Godkiller bullet and leaves. After Hank leaves, Schaal realizes her rifle is gone and that Andy must have taken it to kill Gargoyle himself. Hank enters the Church and manages to pin Gargoyle after a pitched battle; however, Gargoyle shoots him in the stomach with the Godkiller bullet. Andy arrives but misses his shot and is knocked aside. Schaal puts herself between Andy and Gargoyle, begging Topher to stop in vain. Hank uses the distraction to pull out the bullet from his stomach and attack Gargoyle from behind, shoving his hand through the latter's chest before executing him. Hank drops to his knees from his wounds and Schaal is captured in threads from the Spider Incarnate when she tries to run to him. She is then knocked out by the spider's venom. Cain approaches Hank, inviting him to a "party" tomorrow night, promising he'll give Schaal back if he comes. He leaves. Hank weakly calls after Cain before falling unconscious. In the post-credit scene, Lize stands with Claude Withers and the members of Coup de Grace, looking over Whitechurch.
6"The King of the Beasts"
Transliteration: "Kemono no Ō" (Japanese: 獣の王)		5 August 2019 (2019-08-05)
Hank wakes up back at the hotel, apparently having been brought there by Andy, and he promises him he'll save Schaal. He follows the invitation to a nobleman's manor. Meanwhile, Claude examines a series of bodies left by gargoyle, but identifies a nobleman and his wife as having been killed by Cain and heads to their manor. In the manor, there a large number of well-dressed humans within. They are nobles from the Southern Confederacy who had their wealth taken due to the war. Cain addresses the group from an upper landing, stating the Incarnates were likewise made by Northerners greedy for victory and then cast aside and ordered exterminated. The Southerners applaud Cain, agreeing with his ideal to start a new war - one they will win. A large group of Incarnates come out, but begin to massacre the guests as Cain claims he no longer has a use for the humans. Hank begins to fight them until Cain addresses him. He states the Incarnates had not lost their humanity, and selfish humans were not something to protect. Their souls may change but they were never lost, and Cain intends to remove the obstacles that will stop the Incarnates. Coup de Grace invade the manor as Hank goes to fight and they kill or cripple several Incarnates. Hank helps them. Claude confronts Cain, who taunts his younger brother, wondering if he can actually kill him. The Incarnates leap to Cain's defense and Claude finds himself outnumbered and saved by Hank, who is likewise unable to get close to Cain. Claude shoots Cain from afar and Hank closes in and impales him with his spear, the explosives in it detonating. The upper half of Cain's body is eviscerated but fully regenerates seconds later due to his Incarnate powers. Cain asks Hank to join him and brings out Schaal when Hank refuses, stating he will kill Schaal and take away what is holding back Hank. Hank is unable to prevent her from being shot and watches her fall, remembering how he failed Elaine as well. He goes berserk and his werewolf form grows and transforms into a massive luminescent wolf, large enough to crush other Incarnates underfoot - his true form as the king of beasts. He leaps to the town of Whitechurch and lands amid the buildings. Afterwards, Claude wakes up in a military hospital. He approaches Whitechurch and is shocked to see a massive ravine has been cut down the middle of the city, made by Hank. Both he and Cain have vanished.
