In Tokyo's Takadanobaba district, there is a game center known as “the gamers' holy land.” On weekdays, 500 people visit, and on weekends, up to 1,000 game enthusiasts gather. What catches the eye are the rows of fighting games. Strangers engage in intense battles, and a strange sense of camaraderie fills the store. A salaryman who wants to feel the thrill of “winning or losing.” A woman who says, “The serious battles transcending age and gender are irresistible.” Three days following the unknown battles of gamers.
