Episode 1: The Rise
The story takes place in the underworld arena, where criminals and gangsters from all over the world unite to battle against each other to do two things- To have satisfy their lust of fighting with death battles till death, and to achieve the title of "Crimson Emperor". It has twenty-seven stages. The first stage winner gets 45 crore rupees. The first stage is the tournament in the Ship, which roams in the Atlantic Ocean.
From past 4 years, Scythe named a brutal muscular man is defending his title of Crimson Emperor, and has never lost to any person yet. Scythe has been waiting since 4 years, for a person to come and make him fall down.
The first tournament in the ship was about to begin. The refree was about to announce the names of those two players in the red and blue corner. Suddenly, a teen boy of 15 years old lands over the ship by his parachute. He enters the arena and says, "I am Daichi! And I am here to become the Crimson Emperor!!" Everyone starts laughing aloud, underestimating Daichi. Daichi requests the refree to let him fight. The refree says, "Don't you know, kid? It's a fight till death!" Daichi says, "I know that! I just wanna fight! Let me battle please." The refree says, "And what answer will we give to your dad and mom if they find..." Daichi makes his tone serious and says, "Count on me, I'm here to win."
Daichi takes his position in the blue corner. His opponent was Akito Hirano, the younger brother of Scythe. Akito thinks to hold back against Daichi and play defensively. Daichi says, "Are you strong enough, uncle?" Akito says, "You are daring to doubt my strength!!" Akito thinks, "I'll just hold his hand and throw him away." Akito holds the hand of Daichi. At that moment, he sees something strange. He sees a strange scarlet coloured aura radiating from Daichi's body. Just then, Akito sees a Scarlet coloured fire Dragon spirit behind Daichi.
Everyone was confused seeing Akito shiver and perspire. Daichi says, "What happened, uncle? Don't you wanna fight me? I can see you perspiring." Daichi does an uppercut punch at the chin of Akito, which causes Akito to get blown away and fall on his face. It causes blood to get out of his nose and front teeth to break. The force of the throw was extraordinarily strong. Akito couldn't believe in his eyes. Daichi says, "It's a death battle, right? So, should I kill you? No... I can't kill kill you. Because you didn't intend to kill me." Daichi says, "I was actually holding back when using Dragon Uppercut. I was sure you won't die, Akito uncle." Daichi says, "I won, uncle. And soon, I will defeat the Crimson Emperor too."
A shadowy figure was watching everything from the above, sitting among the gangster audience. The shadow figure's muscular body and scar on his tricep was clearly indicating that he was none other than Scythe. Scythe murmures, "One day, this kid will surely defeat me. The name of Scythe is not going to last for too long as a champion I think. This Daichi.... Who is he?"
