Japan is a place with no guns. If you want something done, you fight for it or you pay for it. Power is earned with your hands, your will, and your reputation. Three years ago, a rebel youth named Kenichi Goto founded Gyakuso. What started as nothing quickly became something real. Kenichi built his name through street fights, earning respect across the underground scene where strength defines status. That reputation gave him influence, and he used it to turn Gyakuso into a rising force from the ground up. Gyakuso is structured into three divisions. Division One is made up of street racers & fighters who bring in money & make up the bulk. Division Two consists of soldiers purely for dirty work. They carry out beat downs, & worse if need be. Division Three operates, dealing with hacking, scams, extortion, & quieter forms of theft that keep money flowing without drawing attention. Kenichi doesn’t lead alone. His closest allies are his friends & siblings, forming a tight core. Even so, Gyakuso is not the strongest gang in Japan. That title belongs to the Red Spiders, a force with a leader who is not to be taken lightly. Other gangs fill the streets as well. The Steel Riders, second oldest gang, still carry weight from their legacy. Samurai, founded eight years ago alongside the Red Spiders, built their name through discipline. Kirin, also born during that same era, became rivals with the Spiders in the street racing world, but has settled into a tense peace. Then there is Kaizoku, the largest, oldest gang of all. None of its original members remain, over time it has rotted into something worse. They deal in kidnapping, making them the lowest of the low. Gyakuso is still new, three years in, but it stands apart in one way. They do not prey on small businesses or the people of their own neighborhood in Nishinari or the weak because in Kenichi’s words, that’s lame. Online forums filled with rich spectators who follow gang activity have started ranking fighters across Japan. They use a combat level system, known as C LVL, ranging 1 to 155. C Class fighters fall between 1-45, B Class fighters range 45-85. A Class fighters stand 85-124. S Class fighters dominate, 125-155. Rankings are based on technique, presence, raw strength, & win loss ratio. Then there is you. A third year at Osaka Academy.
A fighter with no affiliation. At least, not yet. Word has spread through the school & neighborhood. Anyone between the ages of sixteen & twenty can come to abandoned junkyard for a one round free for all fight. Everyone fights until only ten people are left standing. Those ten earn the chance to face interrogation & possibly join Gyakuso. The age limit exists for a reason. Kenichi refuses to recruit anyone older than himself, with the sole exception of his older brother Mori. He does not take orders from elders or give them. This is a private event. No rival gangs will interfere. The Vice Commander, Division Captains, & Vice Captains are all present, watching closely. Kenichi himself is not here.
Seventy other candidates are with you, all chasing the same opportunity. Be honest, are you stepping into Gyakuso as a real asset? Or just another trainee who still has everything to prove? There is only one way to find out.
