Long ago, at the distant Hades shrine, a death cult known as the Cult of Hades began abducting the children of its enemies and training them to become merciless assassins. Among these children grew a prodigy named K-29, a force of deadly precision whose signature is the boundless power of the so‑called “17‑seconds‑deadly moves,” the wrath of Vajra. He rises as the temple’s most feared weapon, his skills nearly unmatched by anyone, including his fiercest rival, Daisuke Kurashige. Daisuke, though gifted, lacks the full Vajra power possessed by K-29, and the two lock into a high-stakes rivalry that tests every rule the cult has ever taught.

The temple’s dark theater grows even more dangerous as the cult’s leaders push for ever more fear and control. The young K-29’s path takes him away from the line of fire when he defeats his fellow champions and, in a pivotal moment, spares his rivals rather than destroying them. He flees to Shaolin to seek a quieter life with his younger brother, [Qinquong], under the quiet guidance of a monk who urges restraint. Yet the dream of freedom is fragile, for the cult’s shadow stretches far and wide, and the legend of Vajra’s true king slowly fades into myth.

Meanwhile, the ruling prince of the land—Prince Shiroginomiya—visits the aging founder of the Hades cult, Sensei Amano. This reunion sparks a grim proposal: revive the cult to sow fear once again. Amano entrusts the revival to his most trusted pupil, Daisuke Kurashige, who has become a formidable warrior while clinging to the old Hades principles. Daisuke declares himself the Vajra king and manipulates the crowd by claiming that his trusted allies, including Tetsumaku Rai and the formidable Crazy Monkey, also bear Vajra power. But many observers—aware that the true Vajra belongs to K-29—see through the ruse. The growing doubt splits the cult into factions and electrifies the theater of combat with a sense of impending upheaval.

In a calculated move, Amano and Daisuke abduct K-29’s younger brother, [Qinquong], and force him into the fold of the mind‑controlled children who will be shaped into Hades loyalists. The news awakens K-29 from his Shaolin seclusion, and he returns with the blessing of his chief monk to challenge the shaken fortress of the shrine. An open contest is issued: if K-29 can best [Tetsumaku Rai] and [Crazy Monkey], a direct confrontation with Daisuke will be possible. The challengers rise to the occasion, and K-29’s mastery—his Vajra discipline—shines through as he defeats both rivals with astonishing finesse. Daisuke, recognizing the true Vajra presence in K-29, fights with fury but cannot break the king’s hold; the clash ends with K-29 narrowly prevailing and a crowd of warriors turning toward his side.

The clash precipitates a faltering rebellion within the Hades ranks. Weapons surface where hand‑to‑hand combat once reigned, and the truth behind Hades’s “truth” begins to unravel. In the heat of betrayal, Amano’s daughter, Amano Eko, is killed while trying to protect the vulnerable children, a tragedy that hardens the resolve of those who stand with K-29. The climactic duel between K-29 and Daisuke plays out with the full display of Vajra power—K-29 unleashes the coveted “17‑second” on his rival, sealing Daisuke’s fate. As the dust settles, Daisuke proclaims K-29 as the true King of Vajra before he dies, his final words echoing the hollow victories the cult sought to manufacture.

In a revelatory turn, the Undertaker at the shrine—Undertaker—unmasks a truth long concealed: the elder brother, [K-31], who seemed to have perished in childhood, has actually survived. The reveal comes when K-31 steps forward, having waited in disguise to see if K-29 would return to claim his rightful place. He explains that he saved K-29 years ago and has now aligned with the light to restore safety to the abducted children. The two brothers join forces to rescue the children and dismantle the abominable machinery of fear that the Hades cult depended on.

In the aftermath, the cult’s power wanes, the conspirators are scattered, and the recovered children are freed from their mind‑washing. The once‑mighty Hades shrine returns to something closer to peace as K-29 and his allies, including Master Yuan and other loyal fighters, begin to rebuild a future far removed from the cult’s murderous rituals. The legend of Vajra is no longer a weapon wielded to terrorize the innocent but a memory of a time when courage, loyalty, and truth rose above manipulation. And while the world still whispers about the wrath of Vajra, the story ends with a cautious hope that a new era can emerge from the shadows.
