Story So Far
“To Your Eternity” follows the journey of Fushi, an immortal being initially created as an orb. This orb has the ability to transform into anything that stimulates it and can revive after death. Over time, Fushi evolves from an orb to a rock, then to a wolf, and eventually to a human boy.
As Fushi travels the world, he learns what it means to be human through his encounters with various people. The series explores profound themes of loss, growth, the meaning of existence, and the value of connections. However, Fushi’s journey is fraught with challenges, including battles against the Nokkers, mysterious beings that seek to hinder his growth, and the pain of losing those he loves.
What to Expect in Season 3
Season 3 promises to delve deeper into Fushi’s character as he navigates the complexities of modern society. With the Nokkers seemingly no longer a direct threat, Fushi must confront new challenges that come with technology, urban environments, and contemporary human interactions.
