In a world where superpowers are commonplace, the line between good and evil becomes blurred. Heroes, trained and licensed to protect and defend the public from supervillains, hold a revered status above all others. However, not everyone can be a hero, and some choose to wield their powers for the greater good without legal sanction. These individuals, known as vigilantes, operate in the shadows, fighting for justice, often driven by personal motives that are known only to themselves.

One such vigilante is Knuckleduster, a former hero who has turned his back on the system. His mission is to save innocent lives and rid the world of evil, no matter the cost. When disaster strikes at the grand reopening of the Marukane department stores, Koichi, Pop Step, and their band of low-end idols come to the rescue. However, their efforts are thwarted by the clash between Knuckleduster and Kuin Hachisuka, who is possessing Tamao, Knuckleduster's own wayward daughter.

In a desperate bid to save Tamao, Knuckleduster is forced to resort to extreme measures. He nearly kills Tamao to free her from the villainous entity possessing her. After achieving his goal and saving her, Knuckleduster questions whether he has truly accomplished his mission and if he is through with his life as a vigilante.

The story of Knuckleduster serves as a reminder that not everyone needs a license to fight for justice. It highlights the complexities of morality and the sacrifices that individuals are willing to make in the name of a greater cause. Vigilantes, whether they operate in the shadows or with legal sanction, play a vital role in maintaining order and protecting the innocent. As the world continues to evolve and the balance between good and evil continues to shift, the role of vigilantes will undoubtedly become more important than ever.
