Sand Land takes viewers to the distant future, to a war-ravaged Earth, where only wilderness can be found, and access to water is controlled by a greedy king. However, there is a person who is trying to improve the fate of the inhabitants and find the lost source – Sheriff Rao. In this mission he is assisted by the demon king Beelzebub, who has a childlike mentality. Together they embark on a journey to save humanity, and along the way may also affect their views.

The first 7 episodes of the anime are a reconstruction of the events of the 2023 film, while subsequent episodes will already present the next story arc.
