In the year 2001, Ichiban Kasuga, a member of the Tojo Clan's Arakawa Family, is asked by his patriarch Masumi Arakawa to go to prison for a murder committed by someone else. Thinking that this will make him a Tojo Clan hero, Ichiban gleefully accepts. Eighteen years later however in 2019, he emerges from prison to find that nobody remembers him.
Ichiban goes to confront Arakawa, who tells him to die for him and shoots him in the chest with a Makarov pistol. Days later, Ichiban wakes up half-naked under a pile of trash, having had his gunshot wound crudely stitched up. He asks a man where he is, to which the man, Namba, replies that he is in the Yokohama district of Isezaki Ijincho.
