Edo, 2026. During an era where
strict social hierarchies were still
the norm, the only way to change
one's social status is through
"duel streaming."
The rewards based on the number
of views are immense wealth and
powerful armaments from
sponsors - hence Edo is dubbed as
the "Era of Duel Streaming."
Among the duel streamers, the top
seven have enough influence to
build their own castles - the pure
embodiment of social power.
This is the story of three "bottom-
tier" individuals who miraculously
meet, defy the mocking crowd,
and cut through the "barriers" of
this world.
"Over here, young one. Or are you farsighted already?"
A descendant of a prestigious kabuki family, Zinroku combines martial arts and dance, fighting in a frenzied dancing style. Known for his exceptional stage performance skills, he once led a 3,000-person orchestra in a legendary duel. However, for reasons unknown, he is on the verge of being expelled from the K7 ranks.
"From here on, it's for real! A genuine fight with no strategy guide."
A genius inventor and descendant of Edo’s leading technology company. His hobby is taunting others. Giemon uses various combat styles to bewilder his opponents, such as "Horseback archery mode" that resembles FPS games and "Robot mode" that evolves with viewer donations.

His kindness is extreme, getting angry even at the sight of a flower being stepped on. In duels, he is assisted by “friendly animals” created through chimera technology passed down in his family. He himself is doped, possessing the strength of an elephant.
“Get outta my sight, noob lol.”
A genius who demonstrates various weapons and is constantly flooded with sponsor tie-ups. Her popular series "Top 10 Trendy Swords♡ Slashing Lots of Mobs" is a mega-hit on KILLTUBE. She has immense support from teenage girls due to her slow, laid-back speech and fashion style.
"Don't worry, I’ll make a flashy coffin for you."

With replaceable gear prosthetics, Sagawa can run freely on water and walls at high speed. When serious, he can exceed 400 km/h and is said to cross the Japanese archipelago in 8 hours on foot. His catchphrase is "I can film the shot faster myself," and he carries the camera himself, making his duel videos popular for their realism. He's a super-fast eater, sleeper, and short sleeper.
"I don’t need a reason. If I say I can do it, I can."
A wild child raised by dogs in Criminal Mountain until the age of four. He was taken in and raised by the famous samurai Manjiro in Edo. Curious and fearless, Musashi lives with the words Manjiro left behind, "Aim for the highest place in Edo."
"I can't die in a place like this... I'll drown in money instead."
Tall, handsome, and a natural con artist with a terrifyingly quick mind. Believing that money and power are everything, he has made a decent living using unscrupulous methods despite his low status. A habitual scammer and pickpocket, he has previously conned KILLTUBERS into letting him produce their careers for some quick cash. He targets Musashi with the same scheme, planning to make a fortune, but...
"If there really is some entity that created this world, it has way too many bugs."
An inventor who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci. He lost his heart when his parents, who taught him invention skills, were executed for treason when he was eight. Reo has no interest in people and only wants to invent. He is also a good business partner of Kikuchiyo.
This project is an "experimental ground" under the guise of a theatrical anime. We aim to discover how to create original works from scratch, explore new expressions, deliver them worldwide, earn money, and nurture them properly. We still have a lot to learn, so we decided to give it a try. We hope to report the results of many experiments, learning from and receiving help from various people.
