Anime Origins Evolution Guide: Remnants, Legend Stage Items & Who to Evolve First

What an evolution costs

Every evolution needs two kinds of material:

Remnants — Azure, Violet, Radiant and Prismatic. They drop from stages, come from codes (ChallengesFixed gives 10/5/2/1) and can be crafted at the crafting station next to the upgrade area.
A unit-specific item — dropped by a particular legend stage, raid or world boss, or sold in a shop. The crafting menu shows exactly which unit each item belongs to.

Every mythic in the game can evolve; the secrets Alucard arrives evolved, and the rare Ichigo evolves rare → epic → legendary → mythic → evolved mythic.

Consensus order (launch week)

Unit	Why first / where the item comes from
Vegeta	Easiest evolve and a hill unit: Halo + power scouters from West City legend stage 2.
Goku (SSJ3)	Very easy; items from early legend stages (Gran Senzu beans reported from legend stage 3). Teleport utility makes him worth it.
Akeno	Easy evolve, second hill unit.
Ichigo	The only rare-to-mythic chain; cheap to start.
Naruto / Sasuke	Items from legend stages (Naruto), Dragon Radar-style crafted items for the DBZ units; needed for the Madara quest.
Gojo	Last — evolution items are sold in the rift shop for cursed tickets.
Toji / Yuta	Also rift shop.
Bon/Ban, Tengen	Raid shops (Fountain of Youth reported from the raid shop).

Where to farm materials

Legend stages (unlocked after each story world) — evolution items, artifacts, Umbral Splinters. See story & legend stages.
Raid, rift and world-boss shops — evo items, fusion chips, stat/true arrows. See raids, rifts, Igris.
Gold shop — Umbral Splinters, some evolution materials, fusion tickets.

Evolve vs. ascend

Evolution changes the unit’s form and kit; ascension stacks small stat bonuses from dupes. Do both on your carries, neither on legendaries.
