However, the contact also forces Kaito to take the responsibility of paying a 10 billion yen debt.

Kaito is later helped by his friends, who also enter the games. As they got into more Hero Battles games, they later get involved in a conspiracy that threatens the survival of the game, which dates back to when Hero Battles were first created.
