2.5D Stage Play Adaptation
The 2.5D Stage Play's adaptation of the series' scenario is centered on the "Shibuya Conflict" Arc, where the main characters of the "Shinjuku Faction" fight the "Shibuya Faction."

The play was produced by event operating company Magic Flow, represented by the lead producer Sumiaki Raida. While some of the cast were recommended by Masaya Kaburagi, most of them come from the famous Lala Lai Theatrical Company, along with the director for the Stage Play, Toshirou Kindaichi. The Stage Play adaptation was first written by the famous screenwriter Goa, but after a visit by the author herself Abiko, who voiced her disapproval of the script, he was set to be fired as the screenwriter. To make amends, Raida suggested that both Abiko and Goa work together to rewrite the script, which the two managed to do two weeks before the opening night.
