Story
The year is 2022. Ichiban Kasuga works tirelessly to uphold the legacy of his mentor, Masumi Arakawa. He helps rehabilitate former members of yakuza groups into society at Hello Work. His comrades who fought alongside him have also returned to their daily lives and are chasing new dreams.
However, when a video slandering Kasuga makes its way onto the web, their lives plummet into free fall. Meanwhile, Ebina, captain of the Seiryu Clan—a yakuza organization with deep roots in Yokohama—introduces Kasuga to a man from his past, Jo Sawashiro. Out of the man’s lips comes a devastating revelation: Akane—Kasuga’s mother and the woman whom Arakawa loved—is alive in Hawaii. With little time remaining, she wishes to see her son one last time.
Sawashiro bows before Kasuga and begs him to honor her wish. Touched by his plea, Ichiban Kasuga sets off on a journey to deliver Arakawa’s ashes.
There, on that small slice of paradise, he encounters the Dragon of Dojima—Kazuma Kiryu… Kiryu and Kasuga. A pair of souls who bear the mark of the dragon.
Their fateful encounter sets in motion a grand conspiracy that will envelop two distant worlds…
