Division Rap Battle (event)

Division Rap Battle (D.R.B) is a titular event in the Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- franchise and the in-universe version of the Battle Season. Organized by the Party of Words, the division representative teams fight each other in the rap battles for territory, money and prestige.

Background
After the H Law commenced, the Party of Words established the Division Rap Battle, so that the rap teams could fight with their Hypnosis Mics, replacing the turf wars. The D.R.B is the only instance when men are allowed to enter Chuohku (participating team members and special guests).

Rules
After the announcement of the Division Rap Battle, the Party of Words' battle committee sends Hypnosis Mics to the most prominent rap teams in select divisions, as well as the requirement to prepare their team for the upcoming event.

Then the Party organizes the preliminary battles in each divisions where the teams fight each other. The winning team is determined to be the division representative and advances to the Division Rap Battle.

The teams arrive at Chuohku to check-in with the Party and get the permission to participate in the D.R.B. The battles are held in the special Coliseum in the middle of Chuohku and broadcasted to the entire country.

The rules of the D.R.B:
 * The battle is limited by time
 * The team that attacks first is determined by a coin toss, performed by Ichijiku Kadenokoji
 * Each team exchanges one verse in turns, whether it's a solo, a duo or a group verse.
 * Losing conditions:
 * Physical or mental knockout (countdown of 10 seconds)
 * Surrender
 * More than 30 seconds out of the ring
 * Winning conditions:
 * Entire opposing team defeated
 * The team has more surviving members than the opposing teams by the time limit
 * If a winner cannot be determined during the time limit, each team should choose one member to resolve the match on one-on one

The winner team is proclaimed the champions of the Division Rap Battle. They receive the territory of the defeated divisions, prize money (100,000,000 yen) and the supremacy over the other divisions (within the limitations set by the Party).

Alternative Rap Battle
In Hypnosis Mic -Alternative Rap Battle-, there is a version of the Division Rap Battle, known as the "Alternative Rap Battle". Key differences:
 * The A.R.B is hosted by the guest DJ, invited by Chuohku that makes a beat for the battle
 * The participants cannot use their Hypnosis Speakers, rapping to the beat, made by the DJ
 * If the winner cannot be determined by the time limit, the teams enter the death match
 * The champions receive only the prize money, as the territory ownership is determined in the turf wars
