Pachinko pro Katsuya Takamura, piling up the cash boxes, plays relentlessly for the sole purpose of making money. An elderly man sitting next to him suddenly berates him. It was the legendary pin-tuner, Namioka. One day, a cheat appeared at the pachinko parlour run by Kaori’s father, whom Namioka dotes on like a grandson. Kizuki, the mastermind behind the cheat, uses modified ROM chips and walkie-talkies to force the parlour to close. Burdened with debt, Kaori’s father has no choice but to accept Kizuki’s proposal. It is a pachinko gambling match. What’s more, his opponent is Katsuya. Namioka and Kaori look down on Katsuya, who has accepted this challenge for a huge sum of money. A ruthless battle begins!!
