The Tribe Nine worldview<\/strong>
\nTribe Nine is set in the land of Neo-Tokyo, where 23 groups of \u201coutlaw\u201d groups called tribes have formed, one in each of Neo-Tokyo\u2019s 23 cities. Rivalries between the tribes have escalated to a point that the Neo-Tokyo government enacts an XB Law forces the tribes to engage in battle by playing extreme baseball (XB). The tribes\u2019 youthful members come to stake their pride on this extreme form of baseball as they fight to uphold their reputations and wield influence.<\/p>\n

The whole city is the baseball field. The battles they have to participate in when they reach a base is what attracts them to the game.<\/em>
