Synopsis:

In a world subtly interwoven with digital realms, Baba Lamunade’s ordinary evening takes an unexpected turn when two enigmatic peddlers present him with a peculiar game. Victory within this virtual world transports Baba to DokiDoki Space, a realm steeped in fantastical technology and ancient prophecy. He discovers he is the latest in a lineage tied to the legendary hero, Lamuness, tasked with preventing the resurrection of a formidable evil.

Guided by PQ, a devoted robotic advisor, and aided by the spirited Parfait and Cacao, Baba must master the Kaizer Fire mecha. The fate of DokiDoki Space rests on his shoulders, demanding collaboration and trust as he seeks a capable co-pilot in Da Cider to stand against the encroaching darkness and confront the looming threat of Abraham's return. The series explores themes of destiny, connection, and the blurring lines between reality and virtual existence.
