Summary for Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima
In a world dominated by wars and conflicts, the World Party introduced “hypnotic microphones,” devices through which the user channels letters that can affect the listener’s brain and even cause physical harm. Hypnosis microphones have revolutionized warfare, making words and music the only weapons used by gangsters, terrorists and the military, with the use of physical weapons outlawed. As a result of her intervention during the chaos, the all-female World Party rules Japan.
Japan’s women now live in Chuuouku, while men rap battle the surrounding areas outside the district. With unknown intentions, the Word Party begins to rally the former members of the legendary rap band The Dirty Dawg, now defunct, to fight not for territory or war, but for the pride and honor of their respective gangs in the greatest rap battle of all time. The division’s first rap battle is about to begin, and practice isn’t something these rappers are going to need.
