Story
Although he doesn't have a set story in the single-player mode, Daigo plays an integral part in the stories of various other characters. He originally set out to find the person responsible for the school kidnappings by on his own but ended up disappearing himself. It is later revealed he was brainwashed by Hyo Imawano and was later freed by his sister Akira along with the help of his subordinates Edge and Gan in Akira's ending.
After returning from a hiatus to train himself to become stronger, Daigo orders his gang to begin attacking the other schools in the area, much to the bewilderment of Edge and Gan. Edge and Gan team up with Akira and her friends to put a stop to his madness. It is revealed that, once again, Daigo has been brainwashed, this time by Kurow Kirishima, to cause chaos between the schools. Daigo has two possible endings in the game - one ending has him break free of his mind control and exile himself to reflect on his actions, while the other has him succumb to his fighting wounds.
