** As with many actual [=MMOs=], Riku and Yukio end up dealing with Real Money Transfer-peddlers and {{Troll}}s who seek to ruin a beginner player's experience by ambushing them, forcing them into fights and try to overpower them with their superior weapons.

In the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture near future]], [[MerchandiseDriven Gundam plastic models]] (Gunpla) have become more popular than ever through the release of a VirtualReality game called Gundam Battle Nexus (GBN), where users can "dive" into a MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame world and pilot their HumongousMecha first-hand. Middle school students Riku Mikami, Yukio Hikada, and Momoka Yashiro are three such "divers" who [[ToBeAMaster dream of becoming champions]] in the game's yearly PlayerVersusPlayer 10 man squad [[TournamentArc tournament]], despite their lack of skills, experience, or even a full team. Their luck begins to turn around, however, when they meet a [[MysteriousWaif mysterious girl]] named "Sara", whose uncanny ability to judge people through their Gunpla starts to give them just the edge they need.
