Description

The year is 1986. The place: Yokosuka, Japan. The usually very quiet everyday life of Ryou Hazuki is suddenly and irrevocably shattered by uninvited guests. A man in a dark green Chinese costume appears in the Hazuki family home, and he has two thugs in black suits at his side. The man masters a powerful fighting style like Ryou has never seen before and engages Ryou’s father, Iwao, in a merciless duel. Ryou tries to get between the two and help his father, but the difference in strength is far too great. Ryou is knocked down and taken hostage while the man asks Iwao, “Where is the mirror?” Iwao sees no way out and tells him …

Now that the mysterious object is in the man’s hands, he attacks Iwao again. “Do you remember Zhao Sun Ming …?” Thus, Ryou learns a shocking story from the past: his father was responsible for killing someone long ago. Shortly afterwards, Iwao is defeated and struck down. Ryou pulls his father close and feels him take his last breath, trembling. “Di Lan …” The man who wears a menacing embroidery of a glittering dragon on his back. The man who is responsible for this act.

What about the stolen mirror? Who is this Di Lan? Ryou swears revenge and leaves his childhood home on his journey to unravel the mystery of his father’s death and bring the man responsible for it all to justice.
1986 in Yokosuka, Japan. Das für gewöhnlich sehr ruhige Alltagsleben von Ryou Hazuki wird plötzlich und unwiderruflich durch ungebetene Gäste zerschlagen. Ein Mann in dunkelgrüner chinesischer Tracht erscheint im Heim der Familie Hazuki und er hat zwei Schläger in schwarzen Anzügen an seiner Seite. Der Mann beherrscht einen mächtigen Kampfstil, wie ihn Ryou noch nie zuvor gesehen hat, und verwickelt Ryous Vater Iwao in einen gnadenlosen Zweikampf. Ryou versucht sich zwischen die beiden zu stellen und seinem Vater zu helfen, doch der Kräfteunterschied ist viel zu groß. Ryou wird niedergeschlagen und als Geisel genommen, während der Mann Iwao fragt: »Wo ist der Spiegel?« Iwao sieht keinen Ausweg mehr und sagt es ihm …

Als sich nun der mysteriöse Gegenstand in den Händen des Mannes befindet, greift er Iwao wieder an. »Erinnerst du dich an Zhao Sun Ming …?« So erfährt Ryou eine schockierende Geschichte aus der Vergangenheit: Sein Vater war vor langer Zeit dafür verantwortlich, dass jemand getötet wurde. Kurz darauf wird Iwao besiegt und niedergeschlagen. Ryou zieht seinen Vater zu sich heran und spürt, wie dieser zitternd seinen letzten Atemzug tut. »Di Lan …« Der Mann, der auf dem Rücken eine bedrohliche Stickerei eines glitzernden Drachen trägt. Der Mann, der für diese Tat verantwortlich ist.

Was ist mit dem gestohlenen Spiegel? Wer ist dieser Di Lan? Ryou schwört Rache und verlässt das Haus seiner Kindheit, um auf seiner Reise das Geheimnis um den Tod seines Vaters zu lüften und den Mann, der für all das verantwortlich ist, seiner Strafe zuzuführen.
