Introduction
Zero Rise is about a group of young athletes who have lost their place in the basketball world due to past mistakes and harsh realities. In a society where the divide between wealth and poverty is stark, these determined players must battle against the odds in a cutthroat underground league known as "Zero Rise." As they fight not only for their dreams but for redemption and a shot at a brighter future, they must navigate treacherous challenges that demand both skill and integrity. In this unforgiving world, they are forced to discover what it truly means to rise from the streets—leaving them with one final question: will they find their second chance, or will the rules of survival break them?

upset with this since bushiroad axed argonavis for whatever the hell this is. looks like an off brand blue lock. likely won't ever tune in since it'll definitely get the same treatment as their other projects, a shame.

@subahokke Same ;_; Please just give us Argonavis back.

The only good thing I see is that Mano Takumi (Reon) is voicing one of the characters, I guess...

@tingy Were Argonavis closed or just on hiatus? I've seen people asking for them to "come back," but I don't know the context.

@RobertBobert In October 2024, they announced the indefinite hiatus for late 2025. They released a last mini-album on the 10th and had their last live concert on the 11th ;_; But the company seems to clearly want to move on, since Zero Rise looks like their next project featuring a all male cast...

@tingy After reading his interviews about mixed media management, I always felt like Bushi was somewhat disappointed with how the all-female audience reacted to their attempts to develop all-male projects. I mean, even if I wasn't a huge Argonavis superfan, I never understood why people were so defensive. But well, I hope the guys come back.
