Kamui Fujiwara's new series "DRAGON QUEST EDEN" began in Young Gangan No. 02, released on January 5th. The series is the official sequel to "Dragon Quest: Warriors of Eden", which was previously serialized in Shonen Gangan. It is supervised by Yuji Horii. The story begins with a monologue by Kiefer, who, as the guardian of Yubar, bids farewell to Arus and the others. In the past world, he finds ruins that look just like the Grand Estard Castle. Meanwhile, Arus, Maribel, and Gabo visit a village in the vast desert world in search of water...

Warriors of Eden follows the story of Dragon Quest VII with a few new touches. Arus and Kiefer, along with Maribel, discover an ancient temple on Estard Island. In the temple they discover tablets that allows them to travel to continents that were sealed away in the past and are revived in the future. Warriors of Eden now adds an elemental warrior with each elemental spirit, starting off with Arus as the Warrior of Water. Fujiwara also ties Warriors of Eden with the Roto series with a character named Bezul. He's the reincarnation of Emblem of Roto's Quadal, a sage who fought with Roto during the final battle with Zoma. His apprentice, Guren, is the Warrior of Fire. And, on top of all that, Arus's lizard is named Gregory and now speaks.
