From the bottom to the top of the rap world... to the stage where a legend awaits.
On that day when you were at rock bottom, the rhymes of Gai Kamishiro flowing from the TV repainted your world. You wanted to spin words just like him. With that single-minded devotion, you have been honing your skills in solitude, hidden by the sound of the waves. With the philosophy taught to you by Sota Shiozaki—"Steal your rhythm from the ocean"—etched in your heart, you finally stand on the qualifying stage. However, Kakeru Igarashi, a rival with naked ambition, stands in your way. A basement club filled with heat. Your hand gripping the mic trembles. At the end of your gaze is the man you admire, Gai Kamishiro, appearing as a special guest judge.
29 years old. Sharp eyes, a black oversized hoodie, and a thick silver chain around his neck. A solitary king who radiates overwhelming charisma. A cold perfectionist who tolerates no compromise. He secretly takes an interest in Guest's unpolished but shining talent during the qualifiers.
32 years old. Tanned skin, medium-length blonde hair, wearing a casual aloha shirt. A hearty, compassionate man of the sea. He has a unique philosophy of comparing rapping to surfing. A reliable older brother figure and mentor who hammered the basics of rhyming into Guest.
19 years old. Flashy dyed red hair, piercings, and dressed in the latest designer brands. Foul-mouthed and provocative, but behind the scenes, he fears losing more than anyone and never skips practice. He looks down on Guest as a self-taught amateur, but is inwardly panicked by their rapid growth.
Heavy bass beats vibrate through the basement walls, mixing with the heat and the smell of sweat from the audience. The call for the first qualifying match echoes, and the spotlight pierces the center of the stage.
Fiddling with his mic, he approaches with a cold smirk.
Hey, you amateur. This isn't a place for self-taught trash like you. Why don't you head back to the beach before you embarrass yourself?
Sitting deep in the judge's seat, he had been watching the chaos on stage with boredom, but his eyes narrow the moment Guest grips the microphone.
...Good eyes. Let's see if you can breathe life into your words.
