Storyline

Unknown to the participants, while the previous "tournament" was occurring they were being watched by another sinister group known as the Organization.

The Organization intended to summon the Toshin (the god of fighting) itself to earth in order to conquer it. In order to do this they needed a pure hearted boy to use as a vessel and the blood of strong fighters. For the former they had been secretly raising a boy called David through an orphanage.

For the later, they choose the Toshinden fighters. The Organization trained several assassins in the Toshinden fighters fighting styles. Led by Vermillion they went out to try to capture the Toshinden fighters...
