Story
Taimanin Asagi ZERO plays in an alternative timeline which plays before the events of the main universe, most character appear to be clearly much younger than they were in Taimanin Asagi 1 another change seems to be that the existence of demons is less of a secret already.

Within the Shinminato-ku 6th Precinct (police station), one of the six police stations that had been established to for the purpose of supervising a huge shady business district, where lawlessness was overlooked. A young Asagi is thrown into a cells, in civilian clothes, the real ruler of the station revealing himself as Byg (an Orc) that used the basement cells as his hideout with relative protection.

Asag very smug attitude irritating Bygl, now annoyed enough that he wants to kill her. After which Asagi proclaims the turf of Byg as her own, confused and amused he says he will turn this naive girl into a "daruma". However, as him and his orcs want to attack, the light turns of and Asagi beats up the entire room full of orcs, in hand-to-hand combat. Revealing herself as "Asagi the Taimanin", Byg asks if she is part of the main organization, which Asagi denies saying that normal Taimanin are just government dogs. Claiming she is a real Taimanin, one who destroys evil. After threading to kick Byg into his balls, he gives up and Asagi asks about the location of the Chaos Arena, claiming not to know Asagi kicks him in the balls falling to the ground in pain.

Rushing before the cell, breaking up the conversation, are multiple police men wanting to kill Asagi but are interrupted in turn by a younger Yamamoto. Being of Home Ministry Public Safety, that tells them to step down having conducted an investigation himself, of collusion within the police force and the orcs. The police officers in a panic wanting to shoot now both Asagi and Yamamoto, getting countered by a younger Igawa Sakura working with Yamamoto, that jumps out of the shadows with her giant shadow sharks, ripping the officers apart.

A short conversation follows in which Yamamoto tries to recruit Asagi, to rejoin the government and his official Taimanin like Sakura, to fight the demonic influences. Which Asagi quickly and harshly refuses but Yamamoto tells her to think about it again later, as her help is needed.

Two Weeks after this, within the down town district of Shinminato-ku, Yamamoto enters a school called Joei Academy. Being guided by a gang, Asagi controls, to the basement. The delinquents being members of the Igawa clan and associated members that are independent Taimanin. After a short threat on Asagi's side, Yamamoto tells her that her sister has disappeared from Gosha Academy.

Days later Asagi stands together with Yamamoto, that is also the principle of Gosha Academy in his office, talking about gathering information and possible connection to the Fuuma clan to Sakura's disappearance. Asagi wanting to investigate the school and talk with the Student Council President, that was a friend of Sakura and Asagi, Yatsu Murasaki. Yamaoto introducing Koukawa Oboro the homeroom teacher and sends both to the normal classes Asagi acting as a new student. Having a short friendly brawl with Murasaki, Asagi concludes that somebody inside the academy might be responsible.

Going back to her old home alone in the dark, Asagi is watched by a Masked Women, after a short exchange of blows she disappeared without a word, as fast as she showed up. At home Asagi looks at the untidy rooms, her sister has left her with. As the light turns of Asagi is attacked once again at home, by some other unknown attacker and his tentacles, getting touched by the tentacles blood.

Not talking about last night, not to lose a lead, Asagi exchanges pleasantries with Oboro, which is surprised when Asagi says nothing happened yesterday. Meeting up with Murasaki which wants to watch Asagi change dresses and shower, lusting over her in a comedic fashion. Asagi asks Murasaki about help with the new equipment and goes back to class, just to be attacked by tentacles only Asagi can see.

The unknown attacker from last night now talking to her mind explaining his ability, that required the last attack as an invocation condition, for his long distance spell casting art. Asagi being sexually molested by the tentacles injecting her with an arousing drugs, forced to endure the attacks during class. Trying to lure the attacker out Asagi enters the swimming class, in which she also gets attacked by tentacles, talking to the attacker in her mind. Asagi calls him a coward in hiding, which leads to him revealing himself as Hachiya Risuke (Gym Teacher) a Fuuma clan member. Unable to escape normally, Asagi is however able to use the equipment Murasaki explained to her, which is a communication device. Having send a video to Murasaki that right that moment, took down Hachiya in a quick strike, freeing Asagi.

Having captured Risuke, both Asagi and Murasaki, use interrogation techniques like good cop, bad cop and breaking bones, to gain intel from him. Screaming out in fear and pain the word "Chaos Arena" and it's location in Shinminato-ku. Risuke had tricked Sakura for money and told her to go to the Chaos Arena as part of a faked official mission.

Asagi being concerned about the light remodeling from the tentacles and the effects of the aphrodisiac, sets up a quick stop at Inageya a store in Gosha Village, that deals with bedroom-art counters. On the way to the Chaos Arena, Asagi feels the presence of the Masked Women on a train station but is unable to get a hold of her, only finding her handkerchief.

Taking the train to the Chaos Arena, Asagi is confronted by a "young boy", which reveals himself as the older brother of Risuke, Hachiya Ichisuke, attacking Asagi with his ninja art "Dirty Invitation" which sprays Asagi with pheromones, controlling passengers and her, to molest Asagi. Having sex with her himself, this proves to be his downfall as Asagi has learned a bedroom-art herself at Inageya, using it to suck out the life energy of Hachiya Ichisuke turning him to nothing more than dust. Using her super speed to escape before more people saw her nude. Feeling stronger than before, Asagi spots Byg that faces her stating he works for the Madame of the Chaos Arena, requesting Asagi to follow him, as they have captured Sakura, and she was still alive.

Sakura having been to the Chaos Arena for a few weeks tricked into going their as part of a mission of Hachiya Risuke and the government. Infiltrating the place under a fake identity and defeating her first opponent Big Gogo, Sakura was confronted by "Madame" Snake Lady (Kaliya), who in this timeline, is the owner of the Chaos Arena. After cutting Kaliya with her swords and getting in contact with her blood however, she is paralyzed, as Kaliyas ability "Snake Poison" can create any combination of poison inside her own body, to heal herself or harm her enemies. Having won the fight Kaliya has sex with Sakura as part of the punishment game aspect of the Chaos Arena and forced her to keep losing in fights.

Asagi arriving at the Chaos Arena entrance with Byg, Asagi was greeted by Kaliya. Asagi attacking her revealing her snake skin and true nature as the matriarch of the Naga/ Snake tribe a being with almost god like power. Being pushed back by her destroying parts of the battlefield, Asagi gives up as soon as Kaliya reveals a video of her sister. Kaliya being slightly disappointed in that outcome.

Being sexual remolded in an underground lab and sexually trained by Byg in a barn with other women all being implanted with a "Demonseed" that Bygs remote can control to create pain, knock them out or kill by turning them to stone. Asagi is reminded, by one of the other women, to remember the most important person in her live and bear the training to survive. Having passed the tests Asagi is branded with a magical contract and allowed to work as a slave whore to work of the damages caused by the fight with Kaliya, however Kaliya seems displeased.

Returning to the barn she is observed by the Masked Women from Gosha Village originally Asagi thinking based on the smell of the Handkerchief it to be Koukawa Oboro from the academy but notices something else within that Oboro that is odd and different. Which results in that Oboro to smile and knock Asagi out with a Roundhouse kick approaching with a knife.

After those events Sakura is shown to be offered to the now one armed Big Gogo as a reward, as he was winning multiple fights, having sex with him as one part punishment for her and reward for Gogo. Snake Lady mocking Sakura that she and her sister need to do their work to one day take her out. Asagi shows up also forced to put up a show and both sisters are able to reunite somewhat in private, Sakura apologizing for getting captured and Asagi going through all this for her. After the emotional encounter Asagi reveals her plan, telling Sakura both of them should act like they wanted to fight to kill each other in the Chaos Arena, for their own freedom, but take down Snake Lady in reality. Kaliya already had agreed given that such a fight, sister vs sister, would create much attention and bring customers, the battle and money loving Kaliya agreed fast and allowed on top of that the short conversation right now as a goodbye. The underworld media buzz also possibly could get Murasaki's attention that was probably looking for them right being assigned by Asagi to watch over the Igawa caln in Joei Academy. As normal infiltration would be difficult the "big fight" would create cover for her to help them. Sakura still showing worry about the Demonseed, Asagi ensures her with a whisper that this has been taken care of.

That night Asagi was visited by the Masked Oboro she awoke to see her after being knocked out. The masked Oboro asking if she wanted to rescue her sister. Asagi now being sure the Oboro homeroom teacher and this Oboro are not the same given the supernatural odd feeling. Proclaiming she had removed the Demonseed that Oboro faded into the darkness once again saying she has no intention of helping more than that.

Being humiliated for a little while longer by Byg, that displayed Asagi in public and being forced to have more sex. Murasaki and the rest of her class found Asagi however knowing they needed to save both Asagi and Sakura waited for the big fight.

One week later the Chaos arena was filled with people from the area in the audience as well a masked Oboro talking to herself saying she shall not get involved. Murasaki and her troops slowly infiltrating the arena bit by bit preparations had begun. Snake Lady Riling up the audience for the fight saying after the winner is decided and the loser has died, there will be a goodbye party, with 200 people and the "winner" on a luxury cruise for a week, enough time to pump them full of semen.

The battle having started Asagi and Sakura exchanged blows to trick Snake lady into an opening, Asagi still feeling weaker because of the abuse of Byg, which still held on to the remote. Asagi and Sakura putting themselves into position fooling the audience with a fight charging very powerful attacks Asagi's speed and Sakura's Shadows both sisters disappeared from the stage. Surprised Snake Lady got hit by a powerful attack by Asagi having difficulty blocking it with her hand, Byg trying to turn Asagi into stone however without the Demonseed this failed. Snake Lady ordering pushing at least the button now for Sakura, Byg however couldn't as his arm was cut deeply by Murasaki from behind, right that moment. Rushing in as well was the Igawa clan of Joei Academy taking care of the other orcs and enemies in the stadium. Asagi now proclaiming to Snake women she will free all the slave prostitutes and destoy the Chaos Arena for good, lunching at each other Snake Lady (Kaliya) transformed into a Lamia monster form. Saying she is gonna kill Asagi before she is used by "that men" as "she" has been absorbed by him and a leftover like her doesn't deserve his fixation. Asagi, not understanding any of this, ignores it and uses the collected and stored life energy of Hachiya Ichisuke with her Bedroom Art Life Energy Unleashing increasing her ability many times piercing the hard scales of Snake Lady. Using her blood as smoke screen and paralyzing protection, Snake Lady escaped.

Asagi and Murasaki rejoicing are confronted by the Masked Oboro and it is revealed that the leader of Nomad, the vampire Edwin Black is hiding inside that women's body. A shadow leaving Koukawa Oboro, saying "that women's task is done" and proclaimed Asagi would be his vessel soon, cutting off Murasaki's leg (she can heal) after getting attacked and flees.

Byg tried to escape crawling on the floor however is confronted by Asagi and pleads for his life being pushed to delete all videos and reveal a lead how to remove Sakura's demonseed, with the help of its creator Kiryuu Sabato.(only mentioned), being kept alive as an informant for Asagi. Sakura asking Asagi if she will not join Gosha Village again which Asagi declines again, both sisters hug as the main troops of Yamaoto Taimanin now arrive as well.

Outside of that in the night sky Black is flying being hunted by 4 Taimanin Houma Midori, Shinonome Nea and two unseen Taimanin. Within his dark smoke body an other Vampire Asagi emerges. Both coming from the Taimanin Asagi 3 bad ending, having created the ZERO universe. That Asagi explaining that she likes living in Black's mind but wants to make love to him, with her own body and hopes to use this worlds Asagi as a vessel. Both proclaiming this is needed for the sake of their glorious future together, Black shifting into Vampire Asagi body now giving her control.

Trivia

 * In the side stories it is revealed that Masked Koukawa Oboro was trying to scare Asagi the first few times, to make her more guarded against attackers BUT the last scene in the barn, she was controlled by Edwin Black. That invaded her body, speaking and acting for her removing the Demonseed.
 * The Other women in the barn giving Asagi motivation, was just a normal slave girl (looking similar to Oboro) that was controlled by the normal Koukawa Oboro by her ability, to help Asagi and that slave out, right before being interrupted by Black. (not confusing at all)
 * The last scene with vampire Asagi plays out very similar to Taimanin Asagi 3s fallen vampire ending, with a similar conversation, background, flying in the air and same number of Taimanin hunting them down, as well as Asagi claiming them as dinner for tonight. To the point it might be the same scene.
 * However, slight differences exist as the original scene has an older Sakura and Murasaki also searching on the ground. Which could be either a small retcon as younger designs didn't exist yet in TA3 or TA3 recreated universe is just an other possibility, being extremely similar.
