Voice Actors: Patrick Seitz (EN), Yutaka Aoyama (JA)

 

Ruled the sinister underbelly of society as the Emperor of Darkness, until he fell in battle to the resilient fang of the Hungry Wolf—or so the rumors, spread by his own offspring, would have the public believe. Now, years later, the son of the sovereign has a fighting tournament of his own; for Krauser, whose ruthlessness has only grown with time, it is the perfect chance to strike. The stage is set—not a requiem for the fallen, but an overture to revenge.

The mighty Wolfgang Krauser, once feared as the Emperor of Darkness, rises from the ashes and casts a sinister shadow across South Town in his quest for vengeance. Will the city’s resilient wolves—Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and Joe Higashi—be able to thwart his attempted takeover? Strap in for the intense action that ensues as the streets play host to a brutal battle between good and evil—all in the dynamic visual style that world-renowned animator Masami Obari does best.
