    Story

    Twin brothers Kazuya and Ken Kurosawa, collectively known as the Kurosawa Brothers, are criminal masterminds and the leaders of the Wild Mondo crime syndicate with an army at their command who predicted that the world would end in the year 2032. After New Year’s Eve 2031, the brothers believed that there was an error preventing the apocalypse, so they decided to correct it by destroying the world themselves.The Neo-Interpol, known for dispatching teenage martial artists, was unable to stop the Wild Mondo themselves since the crime syndicate not only has a Japanese branch but also a North American branch, so they dispatched the three brave teenage Kyokushin karateka Daisuke Ninomiya and his two lifelong best friends, Hikari Kitayama and Keiji “Yohan” Matsumoto, who call themselves the Shibuya Brawlers, to stop the Kurosawa Brothers and shut down the Wild Mondo crime syndicate permanently. Due to their elemental powers, they are immune to the heat and cold while also possessing the ability to fly.
