Synopsis: The origins of Mugen trace back to two childhood friends, Kohaku and Tatsuya, who shared a single, burning passion: racing their motorcycles with the dream of riding together for eternity. Before long, Ohta, Konishi, Tsukumo, Cobra, and Yamato joined them, forming a tightly bonded group.

Eventually, Tatsuya opened the Itokan Diner with his sister, Naomi—a warm, welcoming place that became a home for the Mugen members, a refuge they could always return to. But peace didn't last. The Kuryu Group set their eyes on Mugen, stirred by the chaos caused by the Mighty Warriors. At the same time, Mugen itself began to change. Their strength grew, and they took control of the region. Kohaku rose as their leader.

But with power came corruption. Some members fell into darkness—drugs, extortion, blackmail. Kohaku's name became tainted by the very organization he helped build. By the time he discovered how far things had spiraled, it was already too late.

To 'solve the problem', the Kuryu Group called in the Hyuga family. But rather than crumble, Mugen crushed the Hyuga group, accelerating their rise. Their unchecked growth soon caught the attention of the infamous Amamiya Brothers—fierce, principled warriors who stood up to the now-directionless gang. Meanwhile, in the bay area, the Mighty Warriors began consolidating their power.

Tragedy struck the Mugen. Their conflict with the Amamiya Brothers remained unresolved, leaving only ruin in its wake.

The once-unified territory of Mugen was eventually divided into five districts, now ruled by five distinct gangs: Sannoh Rengokai, White Rascals, Oya Koukou, Rude Boys, and Daruma Ikka. Together, these groups formed S.W.O.R.D.—a fragile alliance where each fought to defend their pride, their people, and their land.
