KILLTUBE(2026)

KILLTUBE

KILLTUBE is a animated project that exudes the theme "Edopunk". It depicts Tokyo's Shibuya and Shinjuku districts in a parallel world, where the Edo shogunate has closed off Japan and carried on for over four centuries into 2026. In this isolated, stratified society, the only way to change one's standing in life is through participating in live-streamed mortal combat.

The battle entertainment story unfolds when an unlikely trio from the lowest depths of society withstand ridicule and aim for the top. As they win over the general public, they discover the hidden truth behind the KILLTUBE system.
