Plot

A town once dominated by Mugen has been split into 5 districts dominated by the gangs Sannoh Rengokai, White Rascals, Oya Kohkoh, Rude Boys and Daruma Ikka. Mugen's grip on the town ended after the legendary Amamiya Brothers refused to submit to their will. The 5 gangs that comprise S.W.O.R.D. fight for their pride and glory, but the mysterious Mighty Warriors appear.

This movie picks up where the 2nd season of the HiGH&LOW TV drama left off.

Kohaku, former leader of the powerful Mugen bike gang, is devastated over the death of his close friend, Tatsuya. He's approached by Li from Chanson, a mafia from Korea. Chanson plans to overthrow the powerful Kuryu group, but for now, they work together. Chanson enlists the help of the Mighty Warriors, a powerful new gang from the coastal regions, to cause havoc in the S.W.O.R.D districts. Most notably, Might Warriors sets Nameless Road ablaze, killing some of the residents there.

The 5 S.W.O.R.D gangs have to join together to defeat this new enemy that has appeared. Kohaku is brought back to his senses, Li's plan failed, and it's a win for the S.W.O.R.D districts.
