Plot
Takt Op is set in the year 2047, a future world where music cannot be played freely because it attracts monsters called "D2s".[lower-alpha 2] These monsters were produced by a black meteorite containing Black Night Siderites which fell from the sky years ago. They hate the music produced by humans and are drawn to the music source and attempt to destroy it, as it is the only thing that can hurt and kill them. To combat the D2s, the Symphonica International Organization and the Musicarts combine their powers to defend the cities from D2s.

However, they must avoid the central states, which are a dead zone filled with D2 poison.

Anna provides him with a melodica, which he uses to help him write his composition on some music sheets. While on a walk, Takt sees Destiny providing assistance and bonding with the town’s refugees, stunning him. Anna explains to him that their experiences on their journey have made Destiny more human, as have the people they have met. She also tells him it was Destiny who sourced the melodica for him, as she wants to support his love for music. In a diner, Destiny reveals to Takt she now knows she is inhabiting Cosette’s body, and asks him what Cosette meant for him and Anna. Meanwhile in New York, Sagan forbids Schindler from interfering with Takt, angering him. Back in the south, Takt and Destiny defeat a D2 in the outskirts of the city. They investigate a nearby forest and encounter Schindler and Jigoku, who demonstrates her power to attract and awaken D2s using a tuning fork, which plays a note the D2’s are attracted to.

Meanwhile, Sagan impales his hand on a Black Night Siderite crystal in the middle of the Symphonica building, causing huge crystals containing pods of D2s to erupt throughout New York. Musicarts from all over attempt to stop the D2’s, resulting in a city-wide chaos. Emboldened by the cause, yet still heartbroken about Lenny’s death, Titan leads Takt and Destiny into the Symphonica to rescue the two Schneider sisters and stop Sagan. They are confronted by a huge number of D2s, and although they destroy them, Takt becomes even weaker. Valkyrie appears and defends Anna and Charlotte from D2s, and the two groups are reunited. Takt orders Titan to take Valkyrie, Anna and Charlotte to safety, having resolved with Destiny that they will continue to fight to restore music, being fully aware of their predicament. Worried for their safety, Anna impulsively kisses Takt, before he and Destiny head off to search for Sagan. The pair are soon confronted by Jigoku holding the wounded Tengoku.

| Destiny inflicts severe damage on Orpheus and remains to complete the task while Takt presses forward to find Sagan. A flashback shows the battles and sacrifices Sagan made during the war against the D2s. Takt finds Sagan impaled in a Siderite crystal deep within the facility. He tells Takt that he intends to seal off all the D2s with himself to save the world, but destroying the continent in the process, proclaiming it as a “symphony of joy and despair”. Takt rejects Sagan’s plan, as its extreme nature forgoes what music should truly be: a source of hope and happiness for the people. Meanwhile, Destiny manages to defeat Orpheus and joins Takt’s side. Sagan realizes his mistake and accepts his fate, praising Takt’s passion. Takt kills Sagan with Destiny’s weapon, destroying him along the Black Night Siderite crystals and stopping the D2s in New York. Exhausted, Destiny and Takt lay together, as Takt hums the melody he had been composing, as Destiny listens, happy. As Takt dies, Destiny declares her love for him before sacrificing herself, reviving him. She reduces her essence to a pendant, which lays in his now restored arm. He is found unconscious by Lotte, who takes him to recuperate, finding no trace of Destiny, other than the small pendant on Takt’s hand. Some time later, Christmas approaches and Anna has joined the Symphonica, which is being rebuilt along with the city while Takt recovers. D2 attacks persist in certain areas, as Musicarts continue to fend them off. Anna now wears Destiny’s pendant, giving her the ability to transform into a Musicart herself and support Takt, carrying on Cosette and Destiny's wish of a world where he can create and play music. | ||||||
