- Anime Fighting Simulator Kumo progression runs through side quest NPCs that grant permanent powers, titles, and specials.
- Dimension 1 NPCs like Luffy, Rock Lee, and Gohan unlock movement abilities and buff titles with minimal requirements.
- Dimension 2 quest chains (Gaara, Zangetsu, SSJ3 Goku) require powers earned in Dimension 1 first.
- Craft gating: Sukuna's shrine and Aaza's compass quests must be completed before crafting unlocks.
- Keep fruits equipped: Luffy's full chain requires the rubber fruit at mastery 50 for every step.
Kumo Side Quest Overview and Dimension 1 NPCs
Anime Fighting Simulator Kumo players progress by completing side quests scattered across both dimensions. As of update 7.5, these quests award permanent rewards: powers, titles, mounts, and specials that stay with your character. Even when the unique reward does not fit your build, finishing each chain rewards a solid amount of yen, making them worthwhile early.

Luffy's quest chain requires the rubber fruit equipped at every step. Unequip it mid-chain and the next quest will not start. The Gear Second power from his chain is also required later for time-skip Luffy in Dimension 2.
Marco's Phoenix fruit came from a previous battle pass and is no longer obtainable. If you never claimed the fruit, this quest line is closed to you. Players who own the fruit but skipped the quests can still finish them.
Dimension 2 Quest Lines and Special Rewards
Dimension 2 quest chains are longer and demand Dimension 1 completion. Gaara's line is the deepest: it spans three permanent specials earned sequentially, while Zangetsu and Ulquiorra gates craft materials for Vasto Lorde and Murcielago zanpakuto.
| NPC | Location | Start Requirement | Final Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time-skip Luffy | Small island, wrecked warship | Rubber fruit + Gear Second | Rubber Gear 4 fruit (permanent) |
| Zangetsu | Hueco Mundo, left of black coffin | Black Moon Getsuga equipped | White fragment (Vasto Lorde material) |
| Ulquiorra | Right side, Hueco Mundo | None | Murcielago craft unlock |
| Gaara | Desert area near sand demon | One Tail special, level 75 | Sand Beast, then Sand Cloak specials |
| SSJ3 Goku | Forest near hand demon spawn | Superhuman 2 from Gohan | Superhuman 3 power |
| Aaza | Forest, by the tree | None | Compass special craft unlock |
Gaara Chain
- Three permanent specials: One Tail, Sand Beast, Sand Cloak
- Each must reach level 75 before the next set unlocks
- All three go into the bloodline category
Craft Gate NPCs
- Sukuna, Ulquiorra, and Aaza quests unlock crafting only
- Completing quests does not grant the item itself
- Materials alone will not let you craft early
Power Chains
- Superhuman line: main quest, Gohan, then SSJ3 Goku
- Instinct line: Rayleigh adds up to five total dodges
- Air Walk line: Rock Lee then Lucci for up to 4 extra jumps
The One Tail special needed for Gaara's chain has a chance to drop from the sand demon boss that spawns in the desert area. Farm the boss until it drops, then grind the special to level 75 before the first quest set opens.
Step-by-Step Kumo Progression Route
Follow this order to avoid backtracking. Each stage builds toward the next quest gate.
Clear Requirement-Free Dimension 1 NPCs
Start with Jotaro, Rock Lee, Kaneki, Jiraiya, Gojo, and Sukuna. None have entry requirements, and Rock Lee's chain alone gives you Flash Step, Air Walk, and Blink, which later NPCs depend on.
Run the Main Story for Instinct and Superhuman
Rayleigh requires the Instinct power and Gohan requires the Superhuman power, both earned through the main quest line. Finishing their chains upgrades both powers substantially.
Level the Rubber Fruit and Finish Luffy
Push the rubber fruit to mastery 50 and complete Luffy's full chain with the fruit equipped. This grants Gear Second, which gates time-skip Luffy in Dimension 2.
Finish Dimension 1 Power Chains
Use Air Walk from Rock Lee to start Lucci, and Superhuman 2 from Gohan to start SSJ3 Goku. Complete Marco's chain only if you own the Phoenix fruit.
Move to Dimension 2 Endgame Chains
Complete time-skip Luffy for the permanent Gear 4 fruit, farm the sand demon for One Tail, then run Gaara's three-stage special chain. Finish Sukuna and Aaza quests before gathering craft materials for shrine and compass.
Start every side quest you pass, even ones whose rewards do not fit your build. The chains are generally quick and pay out a good amount of yen, which funds gacha pulls and upgrades.

FAQ
Q: Do I need the rubber fruit equipped for the entire Luffy quest line?
Yes. Every step of Luffy's Anime Fighting Simulator Kumo chain requires the rubber fruit equipped, and it must be at mastery level 50 before the first quest starts. Keep it equipped until you finish all of his quests and unlock the Gear Second power.
Q: Why can't I craft shrine even though I have all the materials?
You must complete almost all of Sukuna's quest chain before the game allows you to craft the shrine curse technique. Completing the quests does not grant shrine itself; it only unlocks the crafting option. The same rule applies to Aaza's compass special and Ulquiorra's Murcielago.
Q: Can I still do Marco's quest if I missed the battle pass?
The Phoenix fruit came from a previous battle pass and is now unobtainable, so new players cannot start Marco's chain. However, if you already own the fruit but never finished the quests, you can still complete them and unlock the Phoenix full transformation.
Q: How does Gaara's quest chain work?
First farm the sand demon boss for the One Tail special and raise it to level 75. Completing the first quest set rewards Sand Beast mode; level that to 75 as well to unlock his final set, which rewards the Sand Cloak special. All three are permanent bloodline-category specials.
