Those survivors were named as the Generation Zero.
I will tell you how the Generation Zero ended.
The Pre-Gen came to its close when a group of young fighters rose up and declared themselves not just survivors — but legends.
These were men like Shogun Raizou and Arata Kurogane.
They challenged the men of Generation Zero one by one, proving that strength could be more than survival — it could be dominance, respect, and history.
By defeating the monsters of Generation Zero, they created the first names that echoed across the streets.
In other words, Generation Zero were the wildfire — and the Generation of Vanguard were the kings who built from its ashes.
However, I will tell you about the core figures of Generation Zero, one by one.
Hachiro, the Iron Demon — Rumors say he killed men with his bare hands in alleys for nothing but coins.
It's said he was a former military soldier, which explained his unmatched strength.
The other was Aya Takamine, known as "The Widow."
She was a master of weapons — blades, chains, even makeshift tools of war.
She survived by taking down men who underestimated her, and it's said she wiped out an entire crew alone when they cornered her.
People called her the Queen of the Streets.
