Unlike most mecha series, B'T X isnât about piloting robots. The BâTs are living beings made of metal and spiritâwarriors with personalities, emotions, and willpower. The connection between a B'T and its rider is sacred, built on trust and shared conviction.
Teppei and B'T X arenât just allies; they are equals. And that makes every battle more than just a clash of steelâitâs a test of spirit.
