The tale originates in a particular town once ruled by a renowned organization known as "Mugen". Opposing the town's rulers were two formidable brothers - the fierce and undefeated Amamiya Brothers. In a fierce battle, Mugen suddenly dissipated, leading to the emergence of five new organizations vying for control over the area. These organizations collectively became known as "G-SWORD", with each group bearing a unique name: the second generation of Sanno Shoten fighters, "Sanno Rengokai", the captivating "White Rascals", the sinister Oya Koukou high school, the ruthless "RUDE BOYS", and the vengeful "Daruma Gurentai". As these five gangs compete for supremacy, a mysterious faction called "MIGHTY WARRIORS" enters the scene, leaving everyone to wonder if they are friends or foes. The town's fate hangs in the balance as the rivalry intensifies.
