I just watched this earlier, and I couldn’t figure out what the @#$! was going on. I’m not mad, just confused. I mean, at one point that kid with the pompadour enters a digital arena (looks similar to Bayblade) and he gets knocked the @*%@ out. Then, he gets naked and this old dude comes out and gives him powers because he was “charmed” by him.
I don’t know what the game does, but it’s clearly aimed at a …niche audience.
This series kinda reminds me of Rent-A-Hero a little bit since they rent battle suits and all. Not to mention the SEGA humanoid guy in the beginning wears Taro’s Rent-A-Hero suit.
