17	'''''Tribe Nine''''' is one of the upcoming titles developed by ''Creator/TooKyoGames'' and ''Akatsuki'' about a futuristic anime baseball-game-styled gang war set in Tokyo.
18
19	A number of outlaw gangs fight a brutal turf war over all 23 wards of Tokyo, using the unofficial sport "Extreme Baseball". One game takes place across an entire ward, with the city's most famous spots serving as "bases".
20
21	There is no official release date for the game as of now, but an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6z-iHJpmyw official reveal trailer]] has been released on youtube. The anime, produced by Creator/LidenFilms, debuted in January 2022.

23	----
24	!!Tropes
25	* AccidentalPervert: Haru has achieved this twice as of Episode 7, and both times with Saori. Fortunately for him, Saori, while embarassed, has not subjected him to PervertRevengeMode.
26	** The first time is when he leaps away from Taiga's punch after denying the claims of his superior reflexes, and his face lands smack inbetween her thighs. This causes Taiga to accuse Haru of perversion, with Shun, Manami, and Santaro teasingly joining in.
27	** The second time was when he walked in on her while she was getting undressed for a shower, causing him to get an eyeful of [[MsFanservice Saori in her underwear.]]
28	* AchievementInIgnorance: When Taiga challenges Hanafuda Sakura, the one person who even Shun couldn't beat, for the right to be his [[TheApprentice apprentice]], Hana decides to cheat his way out of it by only pretending to pitch while Yajirobe Ueno, the Taito Tribe's leader, takes a ball on his person and pretends to catch it. Under Yajirobe's advice to not overthink things, Taiga opts to simply close his eyes and just as swing as hard as he can and bank on hitting the ball. He then swings so hard that he causes a massive gust of wind that flips the kimonos of Hana's Courtesean {{Harem}}, leading to him EatingTheEyeCandy and dropping his ball, which Taiga sees rolling on the ground upon opening his eyes and immediately assumes it's that way because he hit it, meaning he won. And since Hana can't explain how he couldn't have without admitting that he tried cheating, he's forced to accept Taiga as his apprentice.
29	* BadassBiker: The batter in the reveal trailer arrives to the game on a sleek, red motorbike. He later uses it to take care of his opponents' fellow gang members.
30	* BatterUp: The batter in the trailer uses, of course, a baseball bat. A rocket-powered one.
31	* BringIt: The batter in the trailer is clearly very confident in his abilities, as he taunts the pitcher of the rival gang shortly before the game starts.
32	* CoolBike: In the reveal trailer, the opposing batter uses a cool red motorbike to travel between the bases. And to take care of gang members who get in his way.
33	* DecoyProtagonist: Shun Kamiya [[spoiler:dies at the end of the third episode]].
34	* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: After the Adachi Tribe'ss brutal defeat by Ojiro]], Taiga starts practicing day and night and, upon learning of Hanafuda Sakura, the one guy Shun couldn't beat, he relentless begs the man to make him his apprentice, which he manages to achieve with a combination of persistence and sheer dumb luck.
35	* TheDragon: To prove his worth as a successor to his father, Ojiro Otori leads the Chiyoda Tribe for Extreme Baseball while his father observes as OrcusOnHisThrone.
36	* DumbMuscle: Taiga. He's HotBlooded, doesn't have much understanding of the rules of XB, and generally tries to brute force his way through things, but his experience as a Tuna fisherman before coming to Tokyo has made him incredibly strong. [[spoiler: When he challenges Hanafuda Sakura for the right to be his apprentice, he swings his bat hard enough to cause a burst of wind.]]
37	* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: No matter how corrupt Ojiro has become, [[spoiler:Aoyama]] will not give up hope to save his friend from himself. [[spoiler:]]
38	* EvilSoundsDeep: Ojiro has a deep, growling voice, and serves as one of the main antagonists of the series.
39	* ExactWords: [[spoiler: After their win against the Adachi Tribe, Saori suggests reforming the Minato Tribe, saying how Ojiro never said they couldn't reform it after disbanding.]]
40	* FightingIrish: Taiga has an Irish accent in the English dub and is a HotBlooded XB enthusiast.
41	* GangOfHats: Besides the Minato and Taito tribes, most tribes have an overall look and theme. The Chiyodas are PuttingOnTheReich along with oni masks, the Adachis are motorcycle-riding GreaserDelinquents, the tech savvy Shinagawas dress like office workers, and the AxCrazy Otas wear green trench coats and gas masks.
42	* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Tenshin trained Ojiro to value strength, especially in XB, above all else...which means Ojiro is disgusted enough to kill him when he declares his intention to secure all his future XB victories by cheating.]]
43	* HeroicSacrifice: A non-fatal version. [[spoiler:Ojiro ends up in the path of a speeding train during the climactic game, leading to Kazuki jumping in front of it to try and protect his old friend. Both end up surviving the impact -- and Kazuki's actions end up causing Ojiro to [[HeelFaceTurn start reconsidering his prior views on XB]].]]
44	* HonorBeforeReason:
45	** After Aoyama joins during their game against Adachi to [[spoiler: save a kidnapped Saori]], Haru and Taiga take issue with how they're relying on stuff like oil slicks and other tricks to make up the difference between them. As [[JerkassHasAPoint Aoyama points out]], it'd be one thing if they're playing for fun, but they're [[spoiler: trying to rescue a hostage]], so their sense of fair-play and how it's causing them to act un-cooperative with him is ultimately more of a hindrance than anything admirable, especially with their opponents willingness to play cheap in mind.
46	** The climactic game against Chiyoda takes place as [[spoiler:Chiyoda Castle is plummeting to the ground]]. Rather than escape to safety with their teammates, Taiga, Aoyama and Haru stay to finish the game.
47	* ImpliedLoveInterest: Shun Kamiya and Saori Arisugawa. [[spoiler:Not that Shun lives long enough for anything to be confirmed.]]
48	* InsufferableGenius: Kazuki Aoyama, [[spoiler: who joins the Tribe after Shun's death at his request]], doesn't play directly, but is knowledgable about XB and can quickly figure out a rival team's tricks and ploys. However, he is also fully aware that he's the smartest guy in the room and acts like it, referring to everyone else as "monekys".
49	* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: As Tenshin Otori never actually meets them in person, the Minato Tribe has far more beef with his main enforcer Ojiro. [[spoiler:This goes double for Kazuki, thanks to their shared history together.]]
50	* LeParkour: The players in the trailer indulge in quite a lot of jumping, running and somersaults to get from point A to point B.
51	* MadeOfIron: Numerous characters are shown shrugging off normally-fatal attacks (ranging from severe beatings to point-blank explosions), with the aftereffects ranging from "perfectly fine" to "wrapped in bandages but otherwise functional".
52	* MentorOccupationalHazard: Shun served as TheMentor in XB to Haru and to a lesser extent, Taiga. [[spoiler: He ends up dying from illness after the third episode.]]
53	* MoodWhiplash: In episode six, there's a quick transition from [[spoiler:the brutal defeat of the Adachi Tribe at Ojiro's hands]] to some of Taiga's comedic antics.
54	* NoRespectGuy: While they do recognise that he has talent, Taiga is often the butt of the Minato Tribe's jokes due to his HotBlooded nature and tendency to not look before he leaps.
55	* PervertRevengeMode: DoubleSubverted. When going to the backroom to put his bat away, Haru's so distracted by his suspicions that Kazuki trying to sabotage the Minato Tribe that he accidentally enters the shower room Saori has just finished using and was in the middle of getting changed. While embarrassed, she only asks that he closes the door, and only gets violent when Mita barges in upon hearing the commotion, asking if Saori's okay while carrying a camcorder and trying to record her, promptly getting punched in the face.
56	* SlouchOfVillainy: Tenshin Otori is the Emperor of Neo Tokyo and true master of the Chiyoda Tribe, who mostly chills out while his [[TheDragon son does all the villainy]].
57	* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Ojiro kills Tenshin after Tenshin declares he wants to resort to win XB through [[OrderedToCheat playing dirty]] and [[BribingYourWayToVictory bribing the judges]].]]
58	* TreacherousAdvisor: Yui Kamiki, Tenshin's GirlFriday. [[spoiler:When Ojiro usurps Chiyoda's throne, she puts her plan to dominate and rule Neo-Tokyo from the shadows into action.]]
59	* WorfHadTheFlu: Shun Kamiya was already [[spoiler:dying from a SoapOperaDisease]] when he battled Ojiro Otori, and therefore not at his peak performance.
