In 1955, six delinquents known as Mario, Cabbage, Soldier, Turtle, Uncovered, and Joe are sent to a strict reform school. After undergoing humiliating medical examinations by Dr. Sasaki, they are placed in a cell where they meet Sakuragi. Mario attacks Sakuragi, but Sakuragi defeats all six boys. The sadistic head guard Ishihara then brutally beats Sakuragi as punishment while the others watch. Upon waking, Sakuragi accepts a hidden cigarette from Joe and shares it with the group. His strong yet kind demeanor quickly earns the respect and admiration of the six boys, establishing him as their leader within the harsh institution.
