As Japan's population grows older and smaller, and murder rates sky
rocket, the Japanese government began to implement stricter laws against
the worst criminals. With even the death penalty lacking the deterring
force to stop the most violent criminals, Japan brought back to life a
law from the 19th century: the "Revenge" law. This law will now allow
victims and their related parties to employ a government special forces
agency to capture the murderer and reenact the exact same methods with
which the victim died onto the murderer.
Yamagishi Yuji is the
7th member of the Special Forces "Sukedachi-nin." Each of the members of
this special forces have been chosen to enforce the Revenge law because
they too have been a victim of past crimes.
