The three types of hero groups – justice superheroes, demon superheroes, and perfect superheroes – each raising their own righteousness, will unravel their tale in a new three-way fight! Amidst that, the roots of these fighters who hail from the ‘superhero’ species will be revealed, along with intense human dramas within their respective organizations, new offense and defense-minded hero techniques, and an unchanging drama of friendship…!
Everyone has a reason to fight in their hearts!
