Performance Period
Saturday, May 2nd - Sunday, May 17th, 2026 (20 performances in total)
A dog-eat-dog competitive society.
Especially in sports, one is expected to be a pure and clean winner, and failure is not tolerated.
Madoka, a former middle school basketball star once highly anticipated for his future, loses everything due to an "accident" in a certain game and disappears from the public eye.
Abandoned by his team and even his family, he drifts to Shinjuku, a sacred place for street basketball.
He is picked up by Date, a street basketball player of the same age, and begins to live with him.
To earn living expenses, he forms the street basketball team "UNFIXXX" with Date and Merlin, throwing himself into unregulated gambling basketball.
Then, a turning point comes for Madoka: 'ZERO RISE'.
An underground street basketball league where winners are given the right to rise back to the main stage.
However, powerful rivals from Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Shibuya stand in his way.
He has nothing left to lose. Rise from zero.
