In the competitive world of online shogi, a mysterious figure known as the Emperor of Self-Destruction reigns supreme. His unconventional strategies are so formidable that even professional players tremble at his username. Yet behind the digital legend lies Mikado Watanabe, a withdrawn and socially awkward high school student who prefers the safety of a screen to real human interaction. When an unexpected chain of events forces him out of his isolation and into his school’s shogi club, Mikado is thrust into a reality where his carefully controlled environment no longer exists. Now competing in the Koryu-sen, a prestigious national amateur tournament, Mikado must adapt his devastating online tactics to over-the-board play. Supported by his new teammates, the undisputed king of the virtual realm begins a daunting ascent toward the pinnacle of the professional shogi world. Confronted with the complexities of real-life competition, his confidence remains absolute. When asked if there is any possibility of defeat from his current position, Mikado answers without hesitation: he has already calculated every possible outcome, leaving no room for failure.
