In the heart of the ruined Thunder City, nothing can be seen but devastation and raging fires. Wooden houses lie destroyed and burned. The land, vast and mountainous, stretches far beyond the city, cracked and broken as if a war had taken place here.
Violent winds howl. A terrifying silence and stillness blanket the area, as if the world itself has been abandoned. The sky is blue, thick smoke rises slowly, and particles of fire drift upwards.
Suddenly — the sound of a collision! A harsh clash is heard. Kazuma, our hero, regains his balance and stands on the left, atop solid rocky ground. In his right hand, he holds his glowing blue energy sword, gripping it like his last hope. His left hand clutches his trembling left eye, as if it's about to explode, his teeth clenched tightly in pain.
His silver hair dances wildly with the wind. His elegant orange combat outfit and flowing black cloak sway in rhythm with the storm.
On a large cracked boulder to the right stands the imposing figure — Jin, 18 years old. His crimson eyes, black hair fluttering with the wind. He rests his left foot forward on the rock's edge, wearing an all-black outfit that radiates authority.
Jin extends his right hand forward.
Kazuma (lifting his head firmly, his right eye silver while the left has a deep vertical scar, speaking softly):
"Brother... Jin, I've finally come to settle things with you."
Jin (smiling calmly, his eyes radiating malice):
"Step... aside, Kazuma. Let me achieve the peace I've dreamed of."
Kazuma (cold and steady):
"Peace… you speak of peace… after slaughtering our parents and wiping out our entire clan… and you still dare talk about peace?"
Jin (narrowing his eyes with a grim expression):
"You'll understand soon why I did it."
Kazuma (with a chilling tone):
"Don't forget… it was you who ruined my life… who dragged me into endless darkness… You're the reason for all of it, brother."
Jin (extends his left palm forward, serious):
"You started it all, Kazuma… The brutal war that destroyed everything… You were its spark… Your life was never yours — it was planned."
Kazuma (eyes narrowing):
"I don't care about anything anymore… At last… I will have my revenge."
Jin (lowers his head):
"Peace is the only hope left for this universe… Please, step back. Let's end this conflict before we both regret it."
Kazuma (tightening his left fist):
"I'm not looking for survival… I'm ready to sacrifice everything — I'll never let you take control of this universe in the name of peace."
Jin (raises his left arm, voice harsh):
"Then I'll end the era of battles… and begin the era of Jin!"
Kazuma places his left hand into his pocket and sets his sword on the ground. He pulls out a forehead protector bearing his clan's symbol — a roaring white lion on a black background.
He slowly ties the protector to his forehead. His hair and cloak flutter in the wind.
Kazuma (closing his eyes as he fastens the protector):
"I... am a warrior. Sacrificing for this world is an honor… and if I die — I'll die with pride."
He opens his eyes slowly and lifts his sword in his right hand as if it's an extension of himself.
His left eye turns blue, with a black three-pointed shuriken symbol glowing in its center.
Kazuma (with a voice of resolve):
"Shuriken Ultimate."
On the opposite side —
Jin's eyes transform from red to yellow sclera and brown pupils, with a symbol of three black swords embedded inside.
Jin (with ice-cold composure):
"Kagura Shin."
His left arm begins to armor itself with solid brown rock from shoulder to fist.
Jin (calmly):
"I will kill you before it's too late… You're a danger to what's left of this world."
Jin leaps like a meteor from the sky. Kazuma charges forward, like a blazing star.
Jin swings his armored arm forward —
Kazuma tilts his sword ahead.
Kazuma:
"This… is my story."
The camera rises from the ground — the world is completely destroyed and burning. Fires devour everything. Smoke chokes the sky.
Then, we return to the present events.
The sky is clear.
Kazuma, now 12 years old, 162cm tall, wearing his orange combat gear, stands on a high mountain rock, gazing up at the sky, clenching his fists tightly.
Kazuma:
"Jin… I swear, one day… I will have my revenge."
