Story(top)

In the end, it was Kage-Maru who won the Thrid World Fighting Tournament. After it ended, he defeated a new model of Dural who appeared before him. Kage-Maru finally obtained the new item type required to save his mother, Tsuki-Kage. However, Tsuki-Kage actually got worse, transforming into Dural further when the item was used. Ultimately, she turned into Dural completely and J6 acquired her once more. With Dural again within their grasp, J6 started to research how they could mass produce Dural. During their research, J6 discovered that Tsuki-Kage had remained incomplete for too long which explained her lack of abilities somewhat.

J6 started to look for a new target eligible enough to become a new (complete) Dural. They decided upon Sarah Bryant. Plans were made so as to acquire her and the Fourth World Fighting Tournament was organised.

With many hidden agendas and suspicious machinations going on, the Tournament is now ready to begin.

Outline of the "Virtua Fighter" Series(top)

The World Fighting Tournament: a worldwide competition for fighters who believe in the superiority of their own fighting skills and techniques.

The champion of the First Tournament was Lau Chan, who retrieved the legendary art Ko'enken. At the end of the Second Tournament, it was Akira Yuki, a young fighter who uses Hakkyokuken, who walked away the winner. Who was the winner of the Third Tournament? While looking respectable and admirable, the tournaments are anything but, with a mysterious group plotting from behind the scenes.

J6 (Judgement 6)(top)

An Organization composed of six global mega-industries that have great influence on everything from weapons development to world politics. Ultimately, J6 strives for unrivaled control of the world's fate. The true purpose of J6 holding the World Fighting Tournament is to test the abilities of “Dural” (artificial/programmable human beings), and new materials.

Although Kage-Maru managed to resuce and whisk away his mother, Tsuki-Kage, off to freedom at the end of the Third World Fighting Tournament, her medical condition worsened once more. He was able to confirm that she was suffering from an unknown after-effect from her transformation into Dural. Using his ninja skills, Kage-Maru managed to infiltrate the Organisation once more and found out that he needed to get a new item to resuce his mother.

Those fated to fight are now about to start their endless battles once again. Who will win the battle this time?
