A mysterious masked man “Zero,” who controls Neo Tokyo, declared his intention to transform the country into “a country where everything is decided by games.” His invention, “Extreme Games” (or “XG” for short), is now the rule of Neo Tokyo.

However, the merciless rules of XG treat people’s lives like toys, plunging the citizens of Neo Tokyo into horrifying situations.

To rebel against Zero’s control, a group of teenagers have formed a resistance organization.
Armed with techniques and gear from their beloved “XB (Extreme Baseball),” they bravely engage in fierce battles alongside friends, overcoming any obstacles to reclaim their stolen dreams and freedom.
