SUMMARY
Working as a hard-to-kill mercenary in South America, ex-yakuza Shozo
Iwaki (Tak Sakaguchi) is informed of the death of his gang boss father,
Kenzo (Akaji Maro). Returning home after four years, Shozo discovers
that his father’s number-one man, Kurawaki (Shingo Tsurumi), has
double-crossed and assassinated Kenzo, leaving Shozo not only in charge
of what little remains of the Iwaki Family, but also burning with the
desire for vengeance. After a titanic battle in which an entire building
is leveled, both Shozo and Kurawaki are left barely alive, Shozo
missing an arm and a leg.
Despite his debilitating wounds, the nearly superhuman Shozo clings to
life, and wakes up in a mysterious medical facility with an M61 Vulcan
cannon in place of his right arm, and a rocket launcher where his left
leg used to be! Although confused by his new body and tormented by the
pain it brings him, Shozo quickly learns to love his weaponized frame,
and makes himself ready for a rematch with Kurawaki, who also has some
mechanical improvements of his own.
But before that, Shozo must also deal with Tetsuo (Jun Murakami), his
former best friend who’s fallen into drugs and hard times, and has been
coerced by the Kurawaki gang to find and kill Shozo! Nearly a match for
Shozo’s strength and fighting ability, Tetsuo also has a mechanical
secret: his younger sister Sumire (Cay Izumi), who’s been transformed
into a naked weapon, using the same technology that gave Shozo his arm
and leg! But can Shozo bring himself to destroy his own best friend, the
only thing standing between him and final vengeance?
