story

The story begins in the near future, on Earth, in the year 2114. Four boys, Guren Ogami, Seiran Washizaki, Tokusa Kameyama, and Chuuki Hachisuka, who were living ordinary lives, are led by fate to encounter a mysterious block at an antique shop in town. In the basement of the antique shop, there is a "portal," a transfer device that connects another world to Earth, and the block is the key to using the portal. Guided by the light of the portal, the four are transported to another world, "Planet Cube," where they fuse with the block and transform into block heroes, "Tenkai Knights." The story of their destiny to save the two worlds begins with a battle against the evil block army that awaits them on Planet Cube, and a battle against the evil emperor Vilius.
