The plot is set in the fictional land of Neo-Tokyo in the year 20XX, where young people build tribes similar to modern-day street gangs. Though, tribes settle matters with extreme baseball rather than their fists.
Extreme baseball is nothing but a dramatically high-tech and futuristic version of the good old baseball. Instead of standard equipment, the game is played with technically advanced bats and gloves which adds a punch.
Akatsuki and Too Kyo Games have announced a Tribe Nine anime adaptation for Winter 2022. They also revealed that a Tribe Nine smartphone 3D role-playing game and a Webtoon are also in the works.
The PV introduces us to the various characters of the anime while teasing how thrilling a game of extreme baseball is. Neo-Tokyo looks like the dreamland of every cyberpunk lover while also portraying how dystopian such places can be.
We see delinquent kids and teenagers playing the sport with unusual high-tech weapon-like equipment and handling them like it’s just a normal bat and ball.
A key visual featuring all the characters from the anime was also revealed by the franchise. Funimation will be co-producing the upcoming anime.
The cast for these characters have also been announced:
| Character | Cast | Other works |
| Haru Shirogane | Shun Horie | Kai Minamisawa (World Trigger) |
| Shun Kamiya | Akira Ishida | Hyōga (Dr. Stone) |
| Taiga | Chiharu Sawashiro | Nozomu Nanase (TsukiPro the Animation) |
