Summary
One day, the MTB team "Sharktooth" created by the Samejima brothers, who are also in the same elementary school, are challenged to an MTB battle for the "X-Zone," a place that holds memories of their dead father. On Sunday, while Shou and the leader Gabu were competing, black smoke enveloped the area and they were warped into a mysterious world. An adult MTB rider appears in front of the bewildered group and announces that they are in the X-Zone where they must compete with him in the Idaten Battles. In order to return to the original world, they must win the Idaten Battles and collect 10 gold emblems.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Idaten Jump” as japanese manga series. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese manga series. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2564733. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005 and 2006.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
