The new multimedia project ZERO RISE Bushiroad 's 15th anniversary event anime TV adaptation and a theatrical version, betting on a different approach by combining sports, social drama, and street basketball.

The story follows young people who have been excluded from professional basketball due to past mistakes or their social background. They find a new chance to start over in the underground world of the sport. In a setting marked by extreme inequality, the clandestine league called Cero Rise becomes the stage for intense and dangerous competition.

Furthermore, all the characters and cast from the anime and the stage show were introduced at once. Groups like UNFIXXX , KINGS+HOOT , RumbleWing[s] , and BLACKSPOT form the core of the narrative, each with well-defined styles and motivations. Meanwhile, the legendary former champion Jigen emerges as the central figure behind the project.
