The Parallel Planet is a realm situated "above the sky and down the sea". This world is geometrically divided into twelve distinct lands, arranged in the manner of a clock face. At its center stands the Needle Tower, also known as World Zero, a place where time remains static. Each of the twelve surrounding worlds is protected by a guardian known as a Great Child, who is always accompanied by a spirit—an explosive, spherical companion that aids in defeating creatures called Troublemonsters. The story follows Baku, an ambitious boy whose goal is world domination. His journey begins when En, the Great Child of World One, entrusts him with his Spirit and a G.C. Watch, propelling Baku on an adventure across the twelve worlds to fulfill his dream at any cost.
