Story In this story, Ditt forgets that he was a Mix Master. But when the time comes to save the world once again, he finds new friends to help him in his battle against Eva and Babel, the two new antagonists. After the battle, Ditt and his friends meet the true antagonist of the season, Red Knight. They find out that Red Knight was once a hero named Kendrick who had a Master Hench named Kayon and couldn't resist the taste of power and decided to enslave henches to get more power. He ended up being enslaved by his own core force. When Ditt and his comrades finally defeated him they thought it was over but they had to deal with another big threat: Red Knight had a friend called Blue Fox, also mad due to his mad quest for power. He is trying to obtain the Dark Mix Masters, such as Youring, Tomo, Juho, Yuna, and Luna. They also have to battle an evil R1 energy being named Root, who is Moreen's brother.
Characters Main characters Ditt – He's only interested in playing games and always very good at being lazy. He's also very emotional and always speaks before he thinks. But over time, he starts becoming a boy who learns how to be faithful and learns to value friendship above all. Sometimes his optimism and easygoing personality help the team. Normally he doesn't seem like a nice boy because of his actions and words. But in a battle situation, he always plays an important role in leading the team to victory thanks to his decisive advice that raises the morale of the team. Ray – A good student who always works hard and really has it together. He always thinks things over rationally before he jumps into a problem. He's very popular at school, but he's not interested in being popular. He seems aloof at times because he doesn't express his feelings very often. But that's partly because he has a repressed sense of inferiority and guilt over his dead brother inside him. He plays the role of the strategist of the team in battle situations. Aring – She is a female hero with a warm heart. She's a cheerful, outgoing girl. She tries to lead the team when anything happens. She always bickers with Ditt about his lazy habits. She always looks perfect whatever she does, but deep in her heart, she feels lonely. She boosts the team's striking power with aggressive attacks in battle situations. Moreen – She's often expressionless and doesn't speak much. She was treated as an outcast as a child, but she grew up to be a strong girl. She may be introverted, but she has strong willpower. She has the power to cure others and is very good at defending.

Episodes
Production Sunwoo Entertainment had planned to produce a sequel to King of Cards shortly after the show's conclusion. International demand spurred the development of a follow-up, which was designed to be accessible to audiences who hadn't seen the first series. It was pitched to broadcasters at MIPTV in April 2009. In July 2009, Cartoon Network APAC announced that it had acquired Mix Master Season 2, a 40-episode standalone sequel, for broadcast in over 24 different countries in 2010. The Korea Export-Credit Insurance Corporation invested ₩800 million into the show, becoming the first animated series to receive their support.
Broadcast The series premiered on KBS2 in South Korea on May 26, 2010. It ran for 39 episodes, before concluding on March 16, 2011. It would later air on Cartoon Network, JEI Talent TV, Daekyo Kids TV, Tooniverse and other channels across the country. Across Southeast Asia, the series ran on Cartoon Network and Toonami from June 2011. Final Force's English version was recorded at Soundworks in Burbank, California.
Sunwoo Entertainment sold Mix Master: Final Force to a variety of international representatives. By early 2011, Kidz Entertainment had agreed to represent the series in Eastern Europe, with a Chinese distributor also on board. Imira Entertainment acquired the Iberian rights in November 2010 and sold the show to Canal Panda in Portugal. Studio Licensing was appointed as the North America rights holder in October 2011, with the intent to launch the series across Europe and North America in 2012. At an undisclosed point, the North American rights were picked up by Splash Entertainment, who had distributed the first season, made it available on their Kabillion service in March 2017. Kartoon Channel began streaming it (along with the original series) on August 22, 2025.
Merchandise Sunwoo Entertainment envisioned Final Force as a one source, multi-use property meant to span across mediums. The company introduced a toyline in South Korea in July 2010 that had generated ₩5 billion in sales by February 2011. The company also published the first ten episodes on DVD across two volumes released on September 15, 2010. Haksan Publishing released puzzles, coloring books and a comic based on the series.
In collaboration with Sunwoo, NeoSun released 3D Mix Master TCG a physical trading card game with an augmented reality application for personal computers. The first set was released in May 2011, with the second following in August.
