Over forty years since Naoto Date mysteriously vanished after killing his arch-nemesis Tiger the Great in a brutal deathmatch, the Global Wrestling Monopoly (GWM) challenged the Zipangu Pro-Wrestling team and single-handedly destroyed them along with their manager Daisuke Fuji, who was brutally defeated by GWM's top fighter Yellow Devil.

The incident drove two young members, Naoto Azuma, the main protagonist of the series, and his friend Takuma Fuji, son of Daisuke, to seek revenge on the GWM and the two parted ways.

The GWM, under the leadership of Miss X, sees the new Tiger Mask as a threat that must be eliminated to ensure their control over the wrestling world and sends their fighters in several schemes to destroy him.

Tiger Mask trains with the help of his current trainer and the aid of several pro wrestlers to become a stronger fighter with the ultimate goal to fight and defeat Yellow Devil.

Takuma is eventually demoted to undergo the Tiger's Execution, which would make him a living punching bag, but decides to take the "Hell in the Hole" trial, an illegal wrestling match with several bets carrying a special chance which can restore him as a main fighter but at the risk of losing his life if he fails.

Takuma and Kevin team up and eventually prevail over Odin, Billy the Kidman and Red Death Mask while the rest were eliminated.

Odin regains conscience and aids the duo using a firebreath tool on the robot's face, which causes it to malfunction and assault the nearby spectators.

Naoto decides to enter the tournament in order to become champion, as it will allow him to select his opponents and as such be able to force the true Yellow Devil out of hiding.

Thinking that the battle may not play out one-on-one, Naoto decides to request Fukuwara Mask to partner with him to increase his chances of winning.

The day of the War Game begins and the rules are explained, the wrestlers will fight in a pyramid-shaped ring with five stages and a ground level.

Tiger the Third faces Ryu Wakamatsu in his Dragon Young persona, Fukuwara Mask and Tetsuya Naito, making him the first fighter to get to the top.

A recess takes place before the fight, but Takuma is revealed to be greatly injured as a result of Naoto's knee strike.

A mysterious trio of wrestlers calling themselves the "Miracle 3" appear and sabotage several NJPW matches by committing fouls, while promising to keep "multiplying".

Miss X then announces the Final Wars, the ultimate confrontation between NJPW and the GWM, where the winner will take all the belts from the losers, effectively making it an all-or-nothing match.

Tiger Mask decides to go to Kyoto in order to gain inspiration for a killer move from the Arashi Dojo, just like Naoto Date did at one point.

Tiger Mask helps unravel the impostor and gains useful advice from the true master, but is still not sufficient knowledge.

Miracle II, who is GWM's coach O'Connor, in a Lumberjack match where any fighter who leaves the ring must be returned by seconds.

Miracle III continuously pushes Tiger outside the ring to be mercilessly punished by GWM's seconds, effectively making it a 4-on-1 fight.

Following Naoto and Takuma's departure, Miss X founds and leads her own organization, Girls Wrestling Movement, recruiting Haruna Takaoka to serve as her main fighter under her Spring Tiger (later Springer) alter ego, along with her friends Milk and Mint.

Although Haruna is initially reluctant to pursue a wrestling career due to Yoko Takaoka's disapproval, who is against it because the truth about her hero Tiger Mask shocked her mother as a child, after a month of fighting and later defeating Japan's strongest female wrestler, Mother Devil, along with Miss X's encouragement, she builds up the courage to tell her family.
