Monster Hunter Stories: Ride On

- Season 1

(2016)

Aspiring young Rider Lute and friends go in search of a Monstie Egg on the eve of the Kinship Rite--a search that takes them into dangerous territory.

It's Kinship Rite time! Lilia and Cheval are uncertain about their futures, while an unexpected attack on Hakum Village sends its Riders scrambling.

A Hunter is headed for secretive Hakum Village. He's sure to have his own way of dealing with all these monsters showing up where they don't belong...

Chief Omna sends the apprentice Riders off in search of the Waterfall of Trials. A visitor to Hakum Village gives Lilia inspiration for her future.

Hakum Village revives the beloved Monstie Races for their four newest Riders, but Lute could still use a lot more practice piloting his powerful pal.

Lute and friends dream about what they'd buy with the proceeds from a rare and valuable golden Gargwa egg, and Cheval decides to try hunting one down.

The mischievous twins Den-Den and Lin-Lin are stirring up trouble in Hakum Village--and run into trouble of their own in the forboding woods at night.

Ms. Pink the traveling merchant stops by the village, and Navirou falls hard for her Felyne assistant Mocha. How far will he go in the name of love?

Dan has doubts about whether he should be leading the Riders in training, and remembers his old friend Silva, who was once a shoo-in to be the leader.

In the latest ill omen, the village's beneficial wind turns violent. Hyoro struggles to live up to the expectations of his demanding brother Genie.

Lilia leads her friends into the woods to investigate the evil changes taking place. There they learn about a legendary Rider--and about Lute's folks.

A Blight-mad Nargacuga attacks the village, leaving a trail of blind destruction in its wake as Riders young and old do all they can to drive it away.

There's no time to clean up after the Nargacuga when it could attack the village again at any moment. Cheval swears revenge and takes a new Monstie.

The apprentice Riders go off on their own to face the Blighted Nargacuga, but it's going to be tough with Lute's Monstie still recovering back home...

The time has come for the young Riders to venture forth beyond Hakum Village, accompanied by excitement, responsibility, and not a little trepidation.

Having started their journey outside the village, Lute and Navirou get separated from the others, and find a girl who is hurt and in need of help.

Lute, Navirou, and Avinia encounter an enigmatic, riddle-loving innkeeper who stands between them and the help Avinia needs for her beloved Monstie.

Lute and friends are dazzled by the big city, but they soon get down to business: finding the Scriveners and a way to keep the Black Blight in check.

It's questing time in the Hunter city of Gildegaran! A task that looks like a piece of cake winds up being more than Lute and Navirou bargained for.

Lute and Lilia stumble across a Felyne village while searching for a Kinship Ore. Navirou is confronted by a strange Felyne who insists they're pals.

Lilia brings the young Riders a request from the Scriveners that sends them through a vast desert in search of a solution to the Black Blight problem.

The group meets with Hunter opposition in the Oasum refugee camp. A desert battle with a Blighted monster gets an unexpected--and unwelcome--assist.

Dan and the other senior Riders meet up with Lute's party in the desert, where Chief Nolma shares some info that changes the course of their quest.

The rift deepens between fellow Riders Lute and Cheval as their attitudes toward rogue monsters drift further apart. Lute reunites with an old friend.

After proving their mettle against the Blighted Diablos near the ruins of Reverto's hometown, the Riders reach an understanding about the road ahead.

Lute wants the same Monstie as the legendary hero Redan--and Debli's teacher seems to know where to find precisely the Monster Egg he's looking for.

Why does Navirou's head hurt at the very mention of the Dovan Volcano? Lute runs into a couple of troublemakers en route to the next Kinship Ore.

Discarded like so much trash, Navirou happens to reunite with some old friends. If only he could remember them--or the grand plans they had to escape.

Lute and the Numbers face off against Dr. Manelger in his subterranean lab, where the mad scientist has an unpleasant mechanized surprise for them.

Bent on destroying Blighted monsters, Cheval confronts Lute over his beloved Monstie Ratha, who may not even have the strength to defend himself.

Lute and Reverto track a monster into a mine, despite rumors that it's haunted. Never mind what they find--what's more worrying is what finds THEM.

There's a Blighted monster on Naubaka Island, but no one who sails there comes back. Lute and friends brave the waves with the unique Bandit Captain.

Lute and Avinia must defend lovely Koapni Village from the Blighted monster that's been terrorizing the island. Pansy has a big favor to ask Navirou.

Chief Mallerie's pickle weight has been stolen! Never fear: Detective Navirou is on the case. Meanwhile, Lute searches for Naubaka's Kinship Ore.

Lilia has a strong lead on the whereabouts of the legendary white dragon's egg that sends Lute and friends into the ruins of the hero Redan's village.

Lute follows a tip from the Scriveners to outside Albrachs Village as he tracks down Dr. Manelger, where he gets Hunter help--and a Hunter headache.

A second Kinship Ore in Hakum Village? Lute returns to his hometown just in time to deal with the devastating fallout of the mad Manelger's meddling.

Cheval is back in Hakum Village! He may be too late to slay the Blighted beast, but he sticks around to confront and challenge his former friend Lute.

Chief Omna brings Lute to the Tower of Illusion, where he undergoes a tense trial meant to dispel the doubt from his mind and lead him to the truth.

Lute accompanies Reverto on a quest to slay Brachydios the Destroyer, an ultra-powerful tempered monster and the expert Hunter's longtime rival.

Cheval takes on an unexpected--and hopefully more obedient--new Monstie before he and his team head to the desert to find a Black Diablos run amok.

Lute and Navirou reunite with the Numbers as they search for another Kinship Ore on Mt. Rhyz, where some unexpected company puts their plans on hold.

Some familiar faces rejoin Lute on his journey into the Forest of Confusion, hot on the trail of the next Kinship Ore. But the Blight is spreading...

The team has a rare encounter with a mysterious Elder Dragon deep in the Forest of Confusion as they continue their search for the Kinship Ore.

The final Kinship Ore waits amid freezing mountain ruins. Lute and Manelger are in hot pursuit, but Cheval's new Mechinship Stone changes everything.

Cheval flexes his newfound muscle with his white dragon Monstie, but even he's not safe from the Black Blight. Lute seeks a chance to patch things up.

Lute and Cheval face the staggeringly powerful Black Dread, a monster capable of wiping entire villages off the map; Ratha has a fight of his own.

Lute and Ratha's pitched battle with the formidable Black Dread rages on, but Lute's secret weapon--the power of Kinship--may finally turn the tide.
