A simulation battle encyclopedia created with the concept of “Let’s have fierce warriors from various genera, such as the animal and dinosaur worlds, fight in a tournament format to determine the strongest.”
“What would happen if a polar bear and an African elephant fought?” “If mythical gods fought, who would be the strongest?”…This series has made such dream-like battles a reality.
This series, which is the origin and the best of the tournament-style “battle encyclopedias,” is mainly supported by elementary school students, and the cumulative circulation of the series has exceeded 4.3 million copies. In addition, we offer a wide range of products including card games, figures, apparel, and candy toys. It is a highly anticipated content that will begin broadcasting as a TV anime from January 2024.

accumulated to activate the dragon’s attack and defense skills. Furthermore, the player’s decisions based on the battle situation, such as when and where to activate the trump card “support card” (supporting attack power, defense power, etc.), will determine the outcome.
