Gambling Emperor Legend Zero (Japanese: 賭博覇王伝 零, Hepburn: Tobaku Haōden Zero) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuyuki Fukumoto. The first part was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from September 2007 to March 2009, with its chapters collected in eight tankōbon volumes. The second part, Tobaku Haōden Zero: Gyanki-hen was serialized in the same magazine from July 2011 to May 2013, with its chapters collected in 10 volumes. The story revolves around gambling with high stakes, with focus on competition and rivalry.
Zero Ukai, a boy who causes a stir as a so-called "Robin Hood" of society, is invited along with his friends to the Dream Kingdom, a part-gambling part-amusement park under construction by the wealthy Muryō Zaizen. Zero and the others are brought together because Zaizen is in search of a "king," in other words his rep player, and he puts all his money on the line in order to succeed in that search, with the reward equaling no less than 100 billion yen. In order to save all the victims of the bank transfer scam with the prize money, Zero takes on the challenge to become the king, but the games are nothing short of the ultimate gambles of life, mind and body.
