The Storyline is as Follows

The Daimyo's story: Takes place in Afro's Teens and has Afro break into and ascend to the top of a palace where he seeks to kill the Daimyo believing him to be the Number Two. The Daimyo sends various warriors to slow Afro down but Afro defeats them all he then has the stairway leading to him flooded with poisonous gas ehich Afro must run through while still being attacked by more warriors who jump out of the gas before Afro reaches the Top and the Daimyo reveals himself. Afro engages the Daimyo in combat while the Daimyo discusses sword techniques and criticzes Swordmaster's lack of respect for one of his own favourite techniques before being bested and killed by Afro but before he dies he reveals himself not to be the Number Two but his brother Sword Master is the Number Two.

School Invasion: Takes place at the Swordmaster's Dojo where After Afro and his fellow students graduate he asks his Master if he is the Number Two but the school is attacked and Afro must kill the invaders sound alarams and close the gates before saving the orphans with Jinno and fighting off the last of the attackers before he reaches his Swordmaster where Jinno arrives covered in blood holding Otsuru grief stricken about the Deaths of all the students before jumping off the cliff.

Sword Master's Story: Afro and his Swordmaster engage in a duel to the death where he tries to convince Afro still to give up Vengeance but Afro does not listen and after the duel he kills Swordmaster. Ninja Ninja appears just like in the anime and tells Afro to put on the Headband.

Okiku's Story: Okiku's story takes place at her house wherein Afro follows her dispatching Cyber Ninja and destryoing a cyber ninja production facility and engages brother 6 in a battle before Okiku is killed and events continue like in the anime where Afro keeps Okikus Comb which is broken in Justices Story similarly to the Anime.

The Lowdown East Pass: Afro must negotiate the maze like Low Down East and battle various opponents to reach Mt Shumi.

Doppleganger: Afro must do battle with his robotic copy which looks nothing like him and then after defeating his copy must proceed up Mt Shumi

Kuma's Story: Afro must battle the mysterious Bear man who continually asks the question of who he is and whilst fighting him Afro learns he is in fact Jinno before defeating him and continuing onwards, Afro must battle and kill Ninja Ninja to continue onwards and bear his emotions once more.

The Empty Seven's story: Afro must ascend Mt Shumi and do battle with each of the Empty Seven before reaching his target Justice

Justice's Story: Afro reaches the top of Mt Shumi and the Number Ones throne room only to discover that Justice has been dead a long time and has become mostly skeleton his skull still has eas though and at this point Afro collapses and the Throne Room changes to one that resembles the throne room from the Anime with Justice sitting there waiting for him. Afro and Justice duel and the fake Justice reveals that Afro is what he is because of his own choices not Justice's actions. Afro Slices Justices arms off like in the anime so he attempts to use his hidden third arm nut Afro dodges and Okiku's comb is sliced instead, Justice then grows to tree like limbs and use spikes from the ground to attack afro before afro slices them off he then attacks Justice. Justice then encourages Afro to take the Headband and become God before he attacks Afro with his Tree Arms and a black aura attack which runs across the ground and springs up much like afros jumping air attack but Afro defeats and slices Justice into many smaller pieces and his hat falls to the ground.

Ending: Afro takes both Headbands and walks out to a balcony where afro seeing flashbacks of all those closest to him he lets the Headbands blow out of his hands.

Differences between the Anime and Game

• Sword Master does not have a brother in the Anime

• Justice is alive when Afro duels him

• Kuma knows who he is and was. In the game he suffers from amnesia and does not remember his past

• Ninja Ninja is killed by Kuma not by Afro

• The Afro Droid looks like Afro in the anime, not all shriveled up like in the game
