No Game No Life: Zero

In the prehistoric ruins of Disboard, six millennia before Sora and Shiro's advent, No Game No Life: Zero (2017) unspools a tale of war and redemption. Riku, a young human leader, navigates a devastated world where the heavens crack and stars shatter. Amidst the wreckage of an elf city, he encounters Schwi, an exiled android seeking the essence of humanity. Their unlikely bond forms the crux of a narrative that questions the nature of heart and soul in a fractured reality.
