What is Tribe Nine?#
Set in the futuristic “Neo Tokyo Country,” Tribe Nine follows a world where youth form “Tribes” to find a sense of belonging. To manage the intensifying conflicts between these groups, the government established the “XB Law,” mandating that disputes be resolved through Extreme Baseball (XB). This is no ordinary sport—players are encouraged to throw, hit the ball, and even each other, creating a radical spectacle for enthusiastic audiences.
The story centers on Haru Shirokane, a bullied boy seeking strength, and Taiga, who arrives from across the sea. Together, they meet Shun Kamiya, the leader of the Minato Tribe and one of the strongest XB players. Under Kamiya’s leadership, they face off against a mysterious man aiming to control every tribe in the city.
If you’re ready to dive into the action, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
Based on our records, the Tribe Nine anime was released in January 2022. According to the relationship tree provided on our site, there is only one primary anime entry. Because no sequels or further installments are listed in the data, viewers can treat this as a standalone experience.
