As he embarks on his journey, Yuken encounters a universe divided into seven dormitories, each representing a legendary Disney villain: the Queen of Hearts, Scar, Ursula, Jafar, the Evil Queen, Hades, and Maleficent. With the help of his energetic classmates, Ace and Deuce, Yuken will need to muster courage and intellect to thrive in this enchanting yet perilous land.
The series, developed under the guidance of Disney Japan and Aniplex, blends classic storytelling with a modern aesthetic. It seeks to reinvigorate the mythical landscapes of the beloved Disney villains while weaving an original narrative focused on friendship and personal growth.
