Jet Set Radio Generation
Book 1 :: INITIATION
A month has passed since the fall of Rokkaku Gouji the Second. A gang of rudies – kids on magnetically driven Netrium battery skates who crave nothing but freedom and mark their territories with paint – who call themselves the "GGs" were the ones responsible for the downfall of the madman.
Since then, the other gangs of Tokyo-to have taken advantage of the peace and started reclaiming their territory, causing all out turf wars. The worst battle is happening in Benten-cho between Rapid 99, the Immortals, Doom Riders, and occasionally Poison Jam. The GGs have lost all claims to the area – Rapid 99 dominates 99th Street, Doom Riders claimed Highway Zero, and the Immortals have taken back the Skyscraper District and Pharaoh Park.
This, however, is the least of their worries. Back in the home turf of Shibuya-cho, the Love Shockers of Hikage Street have decided to expand, leading to the only permanent claims to be Shibuya Terminal and Dogenzaka Hill for the GGs, and Hikage Street to Love Shockers. Chuo Street is constantly changing hands. Although, rumor's getting around that the Love Shockers are starting to poke their noses into the terminal…
The only place safe from the wars is Kogane-cho, the residential district. No gangs want the sleepy hollows of Rokkaku-Dai Heights, Kibogaoka Hill and the Residential Zone (no longer fortified). It is the prime place for recruitment and loners alike.
As for the sewers, they're out of the question: Poison Jam's territory alone. No one else wants it, so no one else will take it. Plus, who wants to mess with Cube, The Master of the Bottom Point of the Sewage Facility? The lady's got a temper, and recently it has been exploding more often than not. Even her own gang fears her.
The streets are plummeting into chaos, so far that even the cops don't want to get involved. It's bad news all around the forgotten town of Tokyo-to.
