With the deadline to pay for the damages of his son’s accident fast approaching, hopes of getting the money needed were slim.

However, during the middle of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, it was discovered that Marshall Law was working illegally in Japan, and as a result he was immediately deported to his home country of the United States of America. With his son' accident and the money he need to head home, Marshall decides to win and enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. His son Forest was riding on Paul Phoenix's bike and caused an awful accident. Marshall did not have enough money to return to America and stayed in Japan as a dishwasher, a month later he had a call from his wife. Marshall China went out of business as a result, so he converted the Marshall China into the Marshall Dojo. However, once his restaurant was re-opened, Marshall started a fight with some of the customers for insulting his cooking. After a month of intense training, he beat himself back into top physical form.Īfter the tournament, he focused on rebuilding the Marshall China restaurant empire. Then one day, a notice for the Tournament arrived at his doorstep. Unable to deal with his failure, Marshall fell into depression and spent his days at home in a drunken haze. Unfortunately, he lost a franchise war against a competitor and had to declare bankruptcy a year later. Marshall Law was a successful businessman - he managed a newly established dojo and even owned a nationwide Chinese restaurant chain called Marshall China. It turns out that Baek has disappeared along with most of the martial artists from the second tournament, but Law feels pretty safe going on the business trip he had planned. The villain that attacked Law's dojo turned out to be Baek Doo San, another martial arts master with a competing dojo. Law decides to enter the tournament to avenge his students and to restore the reputation of his gym. Law's students were attacked and severely injured by a taekwondo teacher who is participating in the next tournament. Marshall finally manages to open his own dojo after the tournament.
