■ Akira Yuki
A martial artist who aims to become the strongest fighter by honing his fighting style based on Bajiquan. Born in the renowned and historical dojo, Yuki Budokan, Akira learned martial arts from his father at a young age.
He is the successor of the unique Japanese martial art based on Bajiquan, created by his grandfather. Following in his grandfather and father’s footsteps, Akira continues his warrior’s journey to perfect his martial art and become the ultimate fighter.
■ Pai Chan
A martial arts movie star in Hong Kong and a practitioner of Mizongquan. Pai was trained in martial arts by her father, Lau, from a young age. However, due to Lau’s obsession with his training and inability to care for his family, Pai began to hate him. With the death of her mother, she decided to leave her home.
Bouncing between acting in movies and honing her fighting techniques, Pai faced her father numerous times with hatred in her heart. However, when Lau fell deathly ill, Pai’s hatred began to waver. Realizing that watching her father fight as the seeker of truth is the only thing she can do, Pai enters the fray to walk the path of a true martial artist.

A practitioner of Jeet Kune Do, a fighting style with powerful punches and lightning-fast kicks. Born into a wealthy family in the United States, Jacky started learning Jeet Kune Do at his father’s recommendation.
While continuing martial arts training, Jacky made a name for himself as a professional racer and became known as the “Blue Flash.” However, he later learned that a mysterious organization was behind his crash during a race and his sister’s abduction. Jacky continues his intense training regimen to destroy this mysterious organization and bring peace back into his life.

She was later freed from her brainwashing, but she was unable to shake the thought that she had wanted to kill her brother all along. Believing that surpassing Jacky is the only way to truly know herself, Sarah continues her training and becomes stronger each day.
