Bloody Crest: Kenka-Gumi

In a world where the thin line between right and wrong is frequently blurred, Ichigo Muromachi, a notorious underground fighter, emerges from his prison term determined to forge a new destiny. His ambitions don't lie in becoming part of the existing yakuza hierarchy, but rather in creating his own gang. The idea seems tantalizing, as the former mastermind of the yakuza's greatest fighting faction sets out to create a name for himself in the dark underbelly of the city. After his stint in jail, Ichigo's skills have only been honed to perfection. The man has lost none of his fighting prowess, but a newfound edge has crept into his demeanor. He has a clear vision for his new organization, which he wishes to establish as the pinnacle of combat prowess in the city. With a reputation forged through brutal battles and unparalleled brutality, Ichigo is ready to take the world by storm. As Ichigo sets his plan into motion, two contrasting forces stir in the shadows, plotting their respective courses of action. One is Kiyotaka Narukawa, a ruthless foe driven by unyielding animosity for the former prisoner. Narukawa's obsessive pursuit is rooted in past betrayals and defeats, his relentless hunt for Ichigo only deepened by the pain and humiliation inflicted upon him at the hands of his one time nemesis. On the opposing end, the Kuroyuri, a secretive group notorious for their unbridled savagery, begin to sow their chaos through strategic strikes across the city. These enigmatic agents, driven by mysterious objectives and motivations, appear to be on the cusp of unleashing unbridled destruction upon the world of organized crime. Meanwhile, within the realm of the underworld, whispers begin to spread about a cunning new player who seeks to usurp the positions of power within the existing hierarchical structures. Intrigue begins to simmer as Ichigo skillfully weaves a web of alliances, solidifying the foundation for his nascent organization. The intricate dance of power play and backstabbing is further complicated by Kanae Sugimoto, an enigmatic woman with unclear allegiances, whose own motivations blur the line between loyalty and deception. Sugimoto's involvement appears as an ace in Ichigo's sleeve as potential for an alliance with this enigmatic figure looms large on the horizon, but it is unclear whether this alliance would prove to be a double-edged sword that would benefit or doom Ichigo's ambitions. As Ichigo's organization slowly starts to gain momentum, Narukawa narrows his gap with his elusive prey. The stakes have never been higher in the cutthroat world that he operates in. The ruthless Narukawa becomes convinced that Ichigo is within arms' length and unleashes his most savage assault yet. It becomes apparent that a confrontation of apocalyptic proportions is unavoidable. In this gritty, unforgiving world where every faction fights tooth and nail for dominance, Ichigo has to tread a treacherous path to ensure survival for his nascent organization. Amidst the labyrinthine web of loyalty, deception and betrayal, Ichigo's resolve is put to the ultimate test.
