Akira Yuki

Realizing that he lacked experience from his failure
to win the First World Fighting Tournament, Akira
went through rigorous training to prepare himself
for the Second World Fighting Tournament.

Akira returned home, with the second tournament
trophy. Yet as he was about to proclaim his victory,
his grand-father told him, “Don’t flatter yourself.
You haven’t mastered anything yet.” In order to
solve the question “What is true strength,” Akira
resolved to fight in the tournament once more.

On the eve of the Third Tournament, Akira is
about to demonstrate his prowess. Are we ready

Jacky Bryant

In 1990, Jacky was involved in a car crash. His
sister, Sarah, was kidnapped while investigating
the accident. When he recovered, Jacky went off
to search for Sarah and discovered that she
would be in the First World Fighting Tournament.
Jacky entered it to get revenge against the
organization and to rescue Sarah, but he failed.
More determined than ever, Jacky trained for one
year to improve his skills and became a Jeet
Kune Do instructor.

In the Second Tournament, Jacky finally managed
to save Sarah. But unable to remember anything,
Sarah decided to go and live in New York alone.
One day, Sarah suddenly phoned him and asked
him to take part in
the Third Tournament.
In order to protect
Sarah from the
Organization and
hopefully help her to
regain her memory,
Jacky decided to take
part once more.

Sarah Bryant

Sarah was kidnapped by a mysterious organization
while investigating her brother Jacky’s

racing
accident. Through hypnotism, she was
re-conditioned and sent to the World Fighting
Tournament to eliminate Jacky. Unable to fulfill her
task, Sarah was further trained by the mysterious
organization to become a deadly fighting
machine. It was during the Second Tournament
that Jacky was finally able to rescue Sarah. She
had total amnesia. Uncomfortable living with a
brother that she could no longer remember,
Sarah went to New York to live alone. Through
her Jeet Kune Do practice, she began to recover
fragments of her memory. One day, an invitation
arrived for the Third Tournament. Will Sarah be
able to recover her memory and finally return to
her former life?

Lion Rafale

In the Second World Fighting Tournament, Lion
was knocked out in the first round, but in that bout
he discovered within himself a hidden fighting
spirit. With a brand new focus, Lion became totally
absorbed in his training as he sought to improve
himself.

A year and several months passed, when an
invitation finally arrived for the Third World Fighting
Tournament. In order to redeem himself, and
evaluate his new skills, Lion entered the
Tournament. This time, he will do better!

Pai Chan

Pai left the Second World Tournament in defeat
by her father, Lau. During the fight, Pai began to
question herself, “Why would my father forsake
his family for his martial arts training?” She came
to the realization that perhaps by understanding
him, she could finally defeat him.

Pai continued to travel to various locations
around the world, working on her world-spanning
fighting film. Then, one year and several months
later, an invitation for the Third World Tournament
arrived. Seeing Lau’s name as one of the

com-

petitors, Pai once more, enters the tournament

Wolf Hawkfield

The only reason that Wolf took part in the
Second World Tournament was to fight Akira.
Unfortunately he was still beaten, although by
the smallest of margins. He returned to his
reserve and continued to train, with nature as his
opponent. A year and some months after the
tournament, Wolf had a dream. He dreamed that
the world was about to be destroyed, and only
one person could save it. When he told the
shaman of the settlement about his dream, he
was told: "Follow your dream! This is something
you cannot ignore!”

A few days later, an invitation for the Third World
Fighting Tournament arrived. Wolf decided to
participate. Is
there some
connection with
his Dream and
the Tournament?

Lau Chan

As soon as the Second Fighting Tournament
ended, Lau heard that his Chinese restaurant
business was in trouble. Lau spent the next year
working as head chef whilst at the same time
continuing his martial arts training. Then he
heard that the Third World Fighting Tournament
was about to start. Naturally he decided to take
part (being the champion of the First
Tournament) so he left the managing of his
kitchen to his best apprentice and set about his
travel preparations. Some say they actually saw
Lau smile as he left…

Jeffry McWild

In order to build a boat to catch "Satan Shark,"
(a shark measuring more than six meters in
length) Jeffry took part in the Second World
Fighting Tournament. His only motivation was the
money that all the participants were sure to
receive. This sum was less than in previous
years, but Jeffry began to build his boat as he
had originally planned. About a year later, his
dreamboat still far from completion, Jeffry had
run out of money. He was sick with worry over
how to handle this money problem when the
invitation for the Third World Fighting Tournament
arrived. The timing was perfect. He decided to
take part in the tournament once more.

Kage-Maru

Kage took part in the Second World Fighting
Tournament to rescue his mother, Tsuki Kage,
from the mysterious organization’s evil clutches.
He was beaten in the semifinal, but was finally
able to whisk his mother off to freedom. Soon
after returning to his secret mountain village,
Kage was able to continue his former peaceful
life. A year had passed when Kage became
increasingly aware of his mother's worsening
health. Kage confirmed that she was suffering
from some type of after-effect from her
transformation into Dural. Using his ninja skills,
Kage managed to infiltrate the Organization once
more.

Kage discovered that his mother's condition had
been caused by an imperfection in the Dural pro­totype skeleton model. Kage’s only recourse is to
defeat and capture the new Dural in hopes that it
may save his mother.

Shun-Di

During the Second World Fighting Tournament,
Shun thought he saw one of his beloved disciples,
a man he himself had raised. After the tournament,
Shun desperately searched the tournament arena,
but ultimately couldn't find him.

A year and some months later, Shun received an
invitation to attend the Third World Fighting
Tournament. He was aghast to see that his pupil
was listed as one of the championship sponsors.
Shun could not understand why he had left him
and joined the Organization, so he decided to
take part in the tournament with the aim of finding
out why.
