Having freed a myriad of women from the runaway spirits possessing their hearts, the "God of Conquest" Keima Katsuragi is confronted with a new task: find the Jupiter Sisters, the goddesses that sealed Old Hell in the past. Diana, the goddess that resides inside his childhood friend Tenri Ayukawa, explains that they have taken shelter in the hearts of the girls he had assisted previously. Moreover, once Diana and her sisters are reunited, their power can seal the runaway spirits away for good and relieve Keima of his exorcising duties. Though he is initially reluctant to get involved in yet another chore, everything changes when tragedy befalls one of the hosts.
Discovering that the goddesses are being targeted by a mysterious organization known as Vintage, Keima is caught in a race against time to reunite the sisters and rescue the girl who has already fallen prey. With deeper resolve than ever before, Keima works together with demons Elsie and Haqua to recapture the hearts of the girls he had charmed in the past. However, the road ahead is a difficult one, as he is soon met with the consequences of his previous conquests.
SYNOPSIS
In the third season of Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai, otherwise known as The World God Only Knows: Goddesses, the stakes are higher than ever. Our perpetually gaming protagonist Katsuragi Keima, known for charming the hearts of countless 2D women, must step out of his comfort zone once again. This time, not only to fill gaps in the hearts of real-world women but to solve the mystery of where the Jupiter Sisters, the goddesses of old, are hiding.
Previously, Keima captured spirits hiding in the hearts of certain girls by filling the emptiness with love. However, things are different now.

With only his gaming knowledge as his guide, Keima’s journey brims with hilarity, emotions, and gaming parodies.
