Plot

Aspiring yakuza Kensuke Hagane, played by Tsuyoshi Ujiki, is killed as a result of gang violence. His corpse then winds up in the hands of a scientist who manages to keep him alive by replacing much of his body with cyborg-like body parts.

Hagane has super-human strength and the scientist also manages to reverse his impotency by giving him robotic genitals. He then seeks to get revenge on those responsible.
