According to the anime's official website, Übel Blatt episode 1 is titled Durchbruch (Breakthrough). The episode will explore the gritty setting and set up the lore surrounding the series. The official synopsis shared on the anime's site reveals how in the year 3972 of the Oracel Calendar, 14 knights were handed over the Sacred Spear.

They were given the task of sealing the Dark Land, known as Vishtehi. One of the knights, named Asheritt, was betrayed by his trusted companion and mercilessly killed in the Forest of Death during his journey. As such, the locals and the officials branded him as a traitor.

After 20 years, Asheri is resurrected as Koinzell from the brink of his death. Koinzell travels to the border of the Lierde Felem town with an intense desire for revenge against his enemy, who is praised as one of the Seven Heroes. Koinzell begins his journey with the stowaway girls, Peepi, Vid, and Altea, and uses the border wall, Thousand Stone Spears to infiltrate the underground monastery.

As such, Übel Blatt episode 1 will showcase the beginning of Koinzell's journey, as he enters the monastery, the abode of the corrupted monks who use their status and powers to their advantage. It remains to be seen how Koinzel reacts to the monks.
