Bamboo Blade Abridged is based upon the Bamboo Blade anime series. BBA is a direct parody with some characters and plot lines remaining relatively unchanged. Some characters like Tamaki Kawazoe and Sensei KOJIRO! have completely different personalities. The series alternates between the FUNimation Dub, and the originality of the team. Bamboo Blade Abridged is about an old Kendo teacher seeking 5 girls to build the ultimate team to defeat his Senpai's team of girls for sushi and lightbulbs, then eventually competitions.
