What happens

Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road (Japanese: 熱風海陸ブシロード, Hepburn: Neppū Kairiku Bushi Rōdo) is a Japanese media franchise that was originally announced in 2003 by the title Neppu Kairiku Bushi Lord as a collaboration between the companies Gainax, Takara and Broccoli. After the death of story creator Sunao Yoshida in 2004 and the departure of other staff members, the project was put on indefinite hiatus, but was eventually restarted by Bushiroad in March 2013 with Bushiroad's president Takaaki Kidani as executive producer. A 90-minute-long anime aired as part of a 3-hour special on December 31, 2013, a collaboration between Bushiroad, Bandai Visual, Nitroplus and Kinema Citrus. The anime used "Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road 〜Atsuki Houkou〜" (熱風海陸ブシロード 〜熱き咆吼〜) by Masatoshi Ono as ending theme music. The franchise is part of Bushiroad's new trading card game Five Qross, alongside Fantasista Doll and Infinite Stratos. A manga series was serialized in Jive's shōnen manga magazine Comic Rush from December 2004 to July 2007. A spin-off manga series titled Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road Side: Suou began serialization in Bushiroad's Bushiroad Monthly magazine from October 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
