Yet as the battles against the Grongi intensify, can Yusuke handle the strain of fighting upon his mind and body? Could he lose himself to the Kuuga power and become a mindless killing machine?

These creatures immediately embark on a number of killing sprees across Japan, using increasingly ritualistic and specific methods of murder which leave the police dumbfounded as to their motives.Įnter Yusuke Godai, your typical everyday Nice Guy save for the fact that he's mastered 1999 skills.
