- Anime Fighting Simulator side quests unlock exclusive powers, titles, mounts, and craftable specials.
- Most questlines have no requirements, so start them early for easy Yen and Chikara.
- Key chains: Rubber Fruit → 2nd Gear → Gear 4 and Super Human → SH2 → SH3.
- Some quests gate crafting: Shrine, Murcielago, Vasto Lorde, and Compass require quest completion first.
- Yen rewards scale with your Class multiplier, making side quests a solid early income source.
Side Quest System Overview
Side quests are optional questlines given by NPCs scattered across Dimension 1 and Dimension 2. Unlike Boom's main storyline, they reward exclusive Powers, Titles, Gears, mounts, and crafting unlocks rather than just currency. Even if you skip the unique rewards, most lines are quick to complete and pay out meaningful Yen, so it pays to start every questline you can access.

Questlines fall into four categories, each tracked separately in your progression:
| Category | Purpose | Example Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Power Quests | Unlock or upgrade abilities | 2nd Gear, Super Human 3 |
| Title Quests | Earn buff-granting titles | Star Crusader, Toad Sage |
| Specials Quests | Gate crafting of permanents | Shrine, Murcielago, Vasto Lorde |
| Upgrade Quests | Stack passive upgrades | +1 Instinct dodge, +1 Air Walk jump |
Questlines with no entry requirements — Joe, Ghoul, Toad Sage, Blade Dancer, Curse King — can be accepted immediately. Knock them out while grinding stats; the Yen and Chikara add up fast.
Dimension 1 Side Quests
Dimension 1 hosts the majority of side quest NPCs, mostly clustered around the main island, snow island, volcano island, the floating lookout tower, and the JJK school area.
| NPC | Location | Requirement | Unique Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luffy | Spawn lobby | Rubber Fruit at mastery 50, fruit equipped | 2nd Gear power |
| Jotaro (Joe) | Beside Stand gacha | None | Star Crusader title |
| Rock Lee (Bruce) | Treadmills | None | Flash Step, Air Walk, Blink, Leg Weights |
| Rayleigh (Silver Hair) | Small pirate ship | Instinct power | +4 Instinct dodges (5 total) |
| Kaneki (Ghoul) | Behind the gym | None | Anteiku title |
| Jiraiya (Toad Sage) | Waterfall of Truth | None | Gama mount, Toad Sage title |
| Marco (Polo) | Right side, snow island | Phoenix Fruit equipped | Phoenix: Full Transformation |
| Lucci (Bucci) | Left side, volcano island | Air Walk from Bruce | Up to +4 Air Walk jumps |
| Gohan (Hogan) | Floating lookout tower | Super Human power | Super Human 2 |
| Gojo (Jogu) | JJK school area | None | Trait Crystals, Chikara |
| Sukuna (Curse King) | Right of boss entrance | None | Unlocks Shrine crafting |
| Cha Hae-In (Blade Dancer) | Dark castle | None | National Hunter title |
Luffy's entire questline — and the later Rubber Captain chain — requires the Rubber Fruit equipped at every step. Don't unequip it until you finish all of his quests, or progress will stall.
Notable reward details:
Leg Weights
- Three tiers from Bruce
- Boost Speed/Agility training multiplier
- Slightly reduce move speed and jump height
Instinct Upgrades
- Base Instinct dodges one hit
- Silver Hair's 4 quests add one dodge each
- 5 total dodges when finished
Air Walk Upgrades
- Bucci's 4 quests each add one jump
- 4 Air Walk jumps plus double jump
- Great for mobility and reach
Dimension 2 Side Quests
Dimension 2 questlines build directly on Dimension 1 unlocks, so treat them as the second half of a progression chain rather than standalone content.
| NPC | Location | Requirement | Unique Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time Skip Luffy (Rubber Captain) | Small island, wrecked warship | Rubber Fruit + 2nd Gear | Rubber: Gear 4 (permanent) |
| Zangetsu (Vigo) | Hueco Mundo, left of black coffin | Black Moon reiatsu equipped | White Fragment (Vasto Lorde material) |
| Ulquiorra (Alquior) | Right side, Hueco Mundo | None | Unlocks Murcielago crafting |
| Gaara (Goora) | Desert, near Shukaku spawn | One Tail special at mastery 75 | Sand Beast Mode, then Sand Cloak |
| SSJ3 Goku (SonAwakened) | Forest, near Hand Demon spawn | Super Human 2 | Super Human 3 |
| Tanjiro/Aaza (Yakza) | By the tree, forest area | None | Unlocks Compass crafting |
The Gaara chain is the longest in the game: obtain the One Tail drop from the Sand Demon boss, level it to mastery 75, complete the first quest set for Sand Beast Mode, level that to mastery 75, then finish the second set for Sand Cloak. All three specials are permanent and sit in the Bloodline category.
Completing Curse King, Alquior, Vigo, or Yakza quests does not hand you the special directly — it only unlocks the ability to craft it. Gather materials early if you like, but the craft will fail until the questline is done.
Optimal Completion Route
Follow this order to avoid backtracking and meet every requirement as naturally as possible:
No-Requirement Lines First
Accept Joe, Bruce, Ghoul, Toad Sage, Blade Dancer, Jogu, Curse King, and Yakza immediately. Complete them passively while training stats for the main quest.
Rubber Fruit Chain
Get the Rubber Fruit to mastery 50, finish Luffy for 2nd Gear, then head to Dimension 2 and complete Rubber Captain for Gear 4. Keep the fruit equipped throughout.
Super Human Chain
Unlock Super Human via Boom's main line, finish Hogan for SH2, then complete SonAwakened in Dimension 2 for SH3.
Mobility Upgrades
With Bruce's Air Walk unlocked, finish Bucci for 4 extra jumps. Then complete Silver Hair for 5 total Instinct dodges.
Crafting Unlocks
Finish Curse King (Shrine), Alquior (Murcielago), Vigo (White Fragment/Vasto Lorde), and Yakza (Compass), then gather materials and craft each permanent.
Side quest Yen rewards are multiplied by your Class multiplier. Higher classes turn these questlines into a strong passive income source on top of the exclusive rewards.
Reward Priority Checklist
Not every line is worth prioritizing equally. Focus on rewards that compound your progression:
Priority Order:
- Complete all no-requirement questlines for Yen and Chikara
- Finish Luffy and Rubber Captain for Gear 4
- Unlock Super Human 2, then Super Human 3
- Complete Silver Hair for 5 total Instinct dodges
- Finish Bruce and Bucci for full mobility upgrades
- Complete crafting questlines: Shrine, Murcielago, Vasto Lorde, Compass
- Run Gaara's chain for Sand Beast Mode and Sand Cloak
FAQ
Q: Do Anime Fighting Simulator side quests give unique rewards?
Yes. Most side questlines award exclusive Powers (2nd Gear, Super Human 3), titles with stat buffs (Star Crusader, Toad Sage, Anteiku, National Hunter), mounts like the Gama, or unlock the ability to craft permanent specials such as Shrine and Vasto Lorde.
Q: Why can't I craft Shrine even with all the materials?
Shrine, Murcielago, Vasto Lorde, and Compass are quest-gated crafts. You must complete almost all of the corresponding NPC questlines — Sukuna, Ulquiorra, Zangetsu, and Yakza respectively — before the crafting option becomes available. The quests themselves don't grant the special; they only unlock the craft.
Q: How do I start the Gear 4 questline?
Equip the Rubber Fruit and raise it to mastery 50 to start Luffy's questline in the Dimension 1 lobby, which rewards 2nd Gear. Then travel to the small island with the wrecked warship in Dimension 2 and complete Rubber Captain's questline while the fruit stays equipped to unlock Rubber: Gear 4 permanently.
Q: Are side quests repeatable?
No. Side questlines are one-time completions. For repeatable content, use the separate repeatable quest NPCs (Cop, Toki, Iceman, and others), which require a Total Stat threshold and can be farmed indefinitely for Yen and mastery.
