The winner of the battle royale will be determined by sales numbers and voting at each live performance. The group that wins will hold a grand live performance to adopt the name of "the greatest under the heavens."

The first unit is called "No Princess" and is led by Saitō Dōsan's reincarnation, who will be called "Shigemichi Saitō." Saitō Dōsan was known as the Viper of Sound! Euphonium, and other series.

The second unit is called "Lunatic Eyes" and is led by Date Masamune's reincarnation, who will be called "Muneto Date." Date is famous for being a one-eyed warrior and the lord of Sendai. The actual music production will be handled by ClariS.

The third unit is called "X-UC" and is led by Sanada Yukimura's reincarnation, who will be called "Kōnosuke Sanada." Sanada Yukimura was a famed warrior who is best known for defending Osaka castle against the Tokugawa in 1614. The actual music production will be handled by Love Live! School idol project.
