All this was in Japanese with no subtitles so I don't understand anything, so these are just opinions of whats going on in the show... and a lot of guess work! Very sloppy and rushed. But for those who want to get some type of idea of whats going on, hopefully this will be helpful :)
Episode 1 - The Return
The show opens with what looks like to be a flashback of a battle between the X-Men (Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Beast, and Professor X on Cerebro) with Jean Grey who is currently in Dark Phoenix form. My guess is that Jean was being controlled by the Hellfire Club, because there was a group of onlookers that somewhat could resemble them, plus there was a psychic entity that was with Jean and Scott during their brief moment on the astral plane.
So while Scott manages to reach Jean briefly, another force intervenes and breaks them apart (looks like Emma's astral projection form of some sort?) Once the psychic connection between Scott and Jean are broken, Jean just explodes.
Some time pass by and Professor X senses danger towards a new mutant, Armor. Storm is on a cruise, Beast is teaching, etc etc. What I found curious is that the humans were pretty fond of the mutants! That's a big difference than what I normally expect...for instance, everyone applauded Storm after she froze a pirate ship that wanted to raid the cruise ship she was on, you would think they would throw stuff at her and make her fly off or something. Anyways, the Professor manages to get through to Storm, Beast and Wolverine, but Cyclops isn't too willing to rejoin the group just yet... Wolverine and Storm are sent to track him and try to get him back on the team. Wolverine and Cyclops have some duel of sorts i guess to try to convince him to return...either way, he does... and the episode ends with the team in uniform ready to save Armor... lol
