▍About Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle-
Hypnosis Mic is a popular rap franchise by King Records under their Evil Line Records label. The characters were designed by Idea Factory under their Otomate label, with Yuichiro Momose as the main scenario writer.
It sets in a world where women have taken overruling politics in Tokyo’s Chuo ward and have banned and destroyed weapons. This has caused men to fight through rap battles using Hypnosis Mics, which can be used to affect people’s sympathetic nerves and influence their thought process.
At the project’s beginning in Sept. 2017, it focused on six main units named Buster Bros!!!, MAD TRIGGER CREW, Fling Posse, and Matenrou, each controlling and fighting for their own territory. Two more units, Dotsuitare Hompo, and Bad Ass Temple are added to the list in 2019.
