Ryouta Sakamoto is unemployed and lives with his mother, his only real achievement being that he is Japan's top player of the popular online video game Btooom! However, his peaceful life is about to change when he finds himself stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere, with a small green crystal embedded in his left hand and no memory of how he got there.

Stranded on a death‑game island, a top gamer must kill to live and uncover the mastermind behind the madness.
Ryouta Sakamoto spends his days job‑hunting and nursing a strained relationship with his mother, yet he reigns supreme in the brutal online shooter Btooom!. One morning he awakens on a deserted island, a green crystal fused to his left hand and no clue how he arrived. The island is a twisted replica of the game he dominates, and the rules are simple: eliminate seven opponents, claim their crystals, and earn a chance to leave. Armed with a satchel of specialized explosives called BIMs, Ryouta must reconcile his pacifist instincts with the savage reality that every other participant is equally desperate to survive. Teaming up with Himiko, a fellow Btooom! veteran who knows the mechanics better than anyone, the duo navigates a landscape riddled with traps, alliances, and betrayals. As they hunt and are hunted, the island’s true purpose begins to surface—a macabre social experiment that forces each player to confront their own capacity for violence. The series blends high‑octane action with psychological tension, delivering a relentless survival game that asks: when the line between game and life blurs, who will be the last one standing?
