The plot revolves around a campaign of vengeance enacted by a martial arts expert, rendered deaf-mute by an attack that killed his entire family, whose thoughts are presented as an inner voice derived from a childhood video game.

A spin-off video game Super Dragon Punch Force 3 was released on April 24, 2024, with an animated series in development.
