Through the Phantom Metal's chemical reaction with the rappers' own DNA, the rapper can create illusions linked to their emotions during their performance. The result is a new type of spectacular concert.
The television anime premiered on the Tokyo MX channel in October 2023. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
