When she leapt onto a subway car at the last moment and her ankle was crushed between the doors, Nishi found himself reunited with his former high‑school love, Myon. Though still deeply enamored, he was stunned to discover she had become engaged to another man. Nishi consented to meet the groom at her family's yakitori eatery, only for Yakuza members to storm the venue and kill him while he attempted to stop them from assaulting Myon.
Now deceased, Nishi awakens to a shape‑shifting deity who ridicules his demise. The god urges him to step through a portal and vanish from reality, but Nishi refuses, instead sprinting past the deity to resurrect himself. Armed with foreknowledge of the Yakuza"s impending assault, he shoots one of them with his own firearm and flees in a pilfered vehicle accompanied by Myon and her sister. His newfound resolve turns him into an unstoppable force.
