Zero Rise (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese mixed-media project about basketball created by Bushiroad. A stage play ran from May 2–17, 2026, at the Hikōsen Theater in Tokyo. An anime television series produced by Nichicaline has been announced.
The project is set in "a hyper-competitive society, where the gap between rich and poor is widening," and people who have been "pushed aside" join ZERO RISE, an underground street basketball league.[1]
