In the shadows of the Fifth World Fighting Tournament, the clandestine organization J6 advances its nefarious Dural program, aiming to create the ultimate humanoid fighting machine. Seventeen elite martial artists from around the globe, each mastering distinct combat styles, converge to compete, unaware of J6's ulterior motives. Among them, Japanese judoka Goh Hinogami returns, and Jean Kujo, a karateka with ties to fellow competitor Lion Rafale, makes his debut. As these warriors strive for victory, they become unwitting pawns in J6's quest for domination, with the tournament serving as a testing ground for the advanced V-Dural model.
Amidst intense battles and personal vendettas, the fighters confront not only each other but also the looming threat of J6's machinations. The tournament's outcome holds implications beyond the championship title, as alliances are tested and secrets unveiled. Each combatant's journey intertwines with the organization's schemes, leading to revelations that challenge their perceptions of honor, loyalty, and the true purpose behind their participation.
