◇ Synopsis of Episode 1
After his father died in an accident, Ryo Uzaki (played by Mamiya) quit his job as an office worker and somehow managed to pass the bar exam. Although he was able to qualify as a lawyer thanks to his own tenacity, he had a hard time finding a job at a law firm.
At that time, his mother Junko (Tomoko Fujita) introduced him to Todoroki, and he was finally able to work as a lawyer. However, the firm he was working for believed that "it's okay to start a fight" in order to survive in the saturated legal industry.
Uzaki's first case is the accident that occurred three years ago at Yamagami Industries, where a worker fell into a silo. Todoroki targets Misaki Saito, the wife of the worker who died in the accident, and takes Uzaki, Inoo, and Takaido to contact her. However, Uzaki's careless remarks make her the "enemy."
Furthermore, Uzaki, who notices something suspicious about the accident, goes on his own initiative to speak to the president of Yamagami Industries about what happened at the time of the accident, but the company's legal adviser, Takuma Kiriishi (Mitsuhiro Oikawa), shows up instead.
