A crowded Shinjuku street at night. Neon lights. Two groups of delinquents stand facing off in an alley. Tension thick in the air.
Narration (jintare):
"I thought I left this life behind… but the streets never forget your name."
Flashbacks of Kaito walking away from a gang life.
A phone buzzing on his desk.
Phone (text):
"Renji... Hospital. Come. Urgent."
jintare (internal monologue):
"No... Not him."
jintare rushes into the hospital room. Renji lies there, bloodied, bruised, face swollen.
Renji (weak smile):
"Yo... Looks worse than it feels... Nah, actually it feels worse."
jintare (gritting teeth):
"Who did this?"
Renji:
"Shinjuku Breakers... Jin sent a message... They're taking the streets now."
jintare stares out the window, fist trembling. Flashbacks of their gang days—brawls, brotherhood, betrayal.
Narration:
"I left to protect him... but now... walking away cost him everything."
Scene shifts — shady rooftop. Reika stands overlooking a street with binoculars, watching a group of punks shaking down a kid.
Reika (talking into earpiece):
"Zone C, three punks. Handle it. Quietly."
A silhouette jumps down in the background.
Back to jintare. He's walking through the school gates. Other students whisper as he passes.
Student A (whispers):
"Isn't that jintare? Thought he quit..."
Student B:
"Yeah… looks like he's back."
jintare ignores them, face blank but eyes burning with quiet rage.
jintare bumps into Jin at the entrance of the local arcade.
Jin (smirking):
"Knew you'd show up... Heard your puppy got hurt."
jintare (gritting teeth):
"This ends. Now."
Jin:"Tch. Funny. I was about to say the same thing."
jintare throws the first punch — raw, fast, brutal. Jin dodges with a sinister grin. Street fight choreography — knees, elbows, grapples.
Sound FX:BAM! THUD! CRACK!
Fight breaks into chaos. More gang members jump in. Renji suddenly appears, limping but grinning.
Renji:
"You think I'd let you have all the fun without me?"
jintare and Renji back-to-back, facing five opponents closing in.
Reika's voice from the shadows:
"If you're going to fight... do it right. I've got intel. Their boss isn't here… but their trap is."
jintare's eyes widen.
Narration:
"The streets aren't what they used to be. This isn't just fists anymore... it's war."
