News – Danball Senki Wars Info

{} marks for things that need “official” English names. Will be edited as info comes in~

Setting:
Year 2055 (4 years after the events in Danball Senki W). LBXs have become the world’s largest hobby, big enough for pro leagues to be established, and people to make their entire living off being an LBX player.

Kamui Daimon Integrated Academy
Near Japan lies an artificial island called Kamui Island.
The streets are designed to look like the 1960s, with one particularly modernistic building in the mix. That modern building is the school Arata goes to, Kamui Daimon Integrated Academy. Known to be the most prestigious institution in the world for raising LBX players and mechanics, entrance to the academy requires an extremely competitive hurdle of being the champion of at least 3 official tournaments.

Second World
Below Kamui Island is a place called Second World. It’s a massive 10km diometer diorama. Once “War Time” is on, a holograph is emitted from the ceiling to create the illusion of a sky. Everything is vastly close to the real world, including bikes in the streets and other objects that operate just like they do in the real world. There are also special effects to create sunlight and adjust for different times in the day, as well as weather such as rain and storms.
