Karate fighter Raion Ryuu is so unflinchingly powerful that, during a sanctioned match, his strikes accidentally explode his opponent into piles of steaming meat.

While their modus operandi would appear to be revenge, they follow divine instructions from up above—destroy Ryuu before he can awaken as the Antichrist! God himself has put out a hit on our masked hero.
