Description[]
The "SWORD District" - so called from the initial letters of the five competing gangs: "Sannoh Rengokai", "White Rascals", "Oya Kohkoh", "RUDE BOYS" and "Daruma Ikka". The story begins when a legendary man returns to the area. He is Kohaku (AKIRA), the leader of the gang "MUGEN", which once ruled the area with a powerful force. He has been out of the public eye since the tragedy that befell Tatsuya (Iura Arata) and Tsukumo (Aoyagi Sho) but he joins forces with Lee (V.I.), who plans to take control of the SWORD district, to raid and attack SWORD together with the gangs "MIGHTY WARRIORS" from the Gulf Coast district and "DOUBT" from the TOWN district. Everyday life crumbles into fragility. Smoky (Kubota Masataka) and the other RUDE BOYS set out to retaliate early, but they are met with a tough fight from ICE (ELLY) and Ryu (Saotome Taichi) of the MIGHTY WARRIORS. Smoky is wounded, although he narrowly escapes with the help of Hiroto (Tosaka Hiroomi), a member of the Amamiya Brothers who suddenly joins the fight. Hiroto makes a promise to the RUDE BOYS and Smoky, and his hatred grows. On the other hand, the other SWORD teams are hesitant to fight and get hurt after the many battles they have fought. Cobra (Iwata Takanori) and Yamato (Suzuki Nobuyuki) of Sannoh Rengokai also find it difficult to face Kohaku, whom they once admired. In the meantime, Tsukumo, who has been working with Kohaku and Lee, tells them that they have a time limit - in two days, Kohaku will attack the SWORD district with a total of 500 people from MIGHTY WARRIORS and DOUBT. Cobra and Yamato have no choice but to stand up now for the sake of the city and their friends. Sannoh Rengokai and other members respond, as well as the SWORD gangs. SWORD, which has been fighting repeatedly until now, finally becomes one. The Amamiya Brothers, including Masaki (TAKAHIRO) and Hiroto, who were called the strongest along with Kohaku, also join the fight. From the past to the future, the SWORD district is plunged into an unprecedented situation.
