In this opening episode, Taro Sakamoto withdraws from his dangerous past. He lives a quiet life with his wife Aoi and their daughter Hana while running a small shop. Once a feared fighter, he now devotes himself to family life and the needs of the neighborhood.
Yet his peaceful life is disrupted when Shin, a young assassin from Taro's former organization, appears and tries to persuade him to return to the criminal world. Although Taro demonstrates that he still possesses his deadly skills, he remains determined to live a simple life. Shin, however, refuses to give up, and eventually, his superiors order him to kill Taro for allegedly breaking the organization's rules.
Shin's attack fails as Taro effortlessly neutralizes and spares him. Impressed by Taro's principles and abilities, Shin ultimately switches sides. When Shin's former boss refuses to abandon the assassination plan, a violent confrontation ensues. Taro intervenes at the critical moment, thwarts the plan using a tracking device he had hidden in Shin's weapon, and repels the attackers.
In the end, Taro offers Shin a job at his shop, establishing a new partnership that blends Taro's peaceful daily life with his still-existing skills—a fresh start in a life free from violence.
