There's a man born with the blood of a wild animal in his body, so they say.
This man, a blood-relative of wolves, has no concern for danger, gains, losses or pride...
...and walks alone on a path of wild animals.
His eyes gaze at the hell fire.
His fangs tear the seal against destruction.
They say it's all due to his evil nature.
VIOLENT FIRE
They rarely prosecute someone charged for interfering with official duties.
Troubles with criminals are common.
You were out of control.
Father!!
What the hell are you doin'?
The men's room is that way.
What does it feel like to kill the big boss, Mr. Tabata?
Um, yes...
That Sanada guy was quite a boss.
I was so afraid.
He really scared the hell out of me.
It's about time you become independent.
Yes, I'm sorry I got scared, being a disciple of Mr. Soo, the assassin.
Stop calling me Mr. Soo.
I'm sorry.
Well then.
Let's ask for a big bonus from Mr. Nakajo...
and go on a nice trip to a hot spring, what'd you say, Mr. Tabata?
How about somewhere aboard like Hawaii, for once?
You're extravagant, aren't you?
Well, we've taken out the head of the Sanada gang.
The Otaki gang will reign from now on, you know.
Why don't we ask them to pay us handsomely for the opportunity?
Things aren't so easy in this business.
There's more to come.
They... came off.
What?
Adult men looking so pale.
Excuse us, boss, for imposing ourselves and interrupting your business.
Boss, our drug dealer, Eda, took out the head of Sanada gang.
If the Sanadas decide to retaliate, it'll definitely rain blood all over.
Seems to us the only way to stop that...
...from happening is by asking Chief Hijikata of...
...the Bando Alliance to mediate for us.
Right now, we're heading straight into an all- out war with the Sanada gang.
I see.
Telephone Hijikata of the Bando Alliance.
Then, we need to bring Mr. Hijikata about 50 million yen as a mediation fee.
Sister, boss...
Sister, bring him water.
Wh... white!
Welcome.
What's the word?
The Headquarters Manager says not to make a move.
Collect as many weapons as you can. - We got it.
What is it?
Congratulations on your release.
Hey, Kunisada, don't plot anything crazy, alright?
A settlement is being arranged with the Bando Alliance mediating.
If you mess it up, a real war would begin.
We'd see mountains of corpses everywhere.
Are you listening?
Hey...
Hey, Toyonari!
What?
What is it?
Good luck.
For what?
Kunihara of the Sanada gang has secretly contacted me.
Says he's prepared to accept the settlement.
Yes. We intend to discuss matters thoroughly with him, heart to heart.
He's got no choice now that their head is dead.
Chief Hijikata, we count on your help to clean up after the mess.
I'm back!
You're late.
Sorry.
I'm coming in.
Is there anything I could do?
The Otaki gang and we have been at each other's throat for many years.
Some families think it might be a good opportunity for us to consider peaceful coexistence
Boss!
We're yakuza, you know.
What kind of fairytale is that?
That's not a nice thing to say to Boss, Kuni.
Are you scared, Manager?
If you don't want war, go ahead and quit this business. Right, Iguchi?
You bastard!
Cool down, Kuni.
I'll kill you.
Go ahead, bastard!
Kuni. - Let go of me!
You sit down, too.
They went ahead and made some cartoon-like deal!
Kuni...
But you were in jail when it was all happening.
He tries to bite anyone indiscrimately.
It's all the fault of our late boss.
He spoiled him too much.
So he's the son of his late beloved brother, but even so.
It's not the boss' fault.
I bet it's in the bloodline.
You're righ, his late father also was a crazy bastard. Real intense.
No wonder he was assassinated and lost his life, I think.
It's his Korean blood.
There's no stopping men of that sort once they lose it.
It's how it is in the yakuza business.
I'm sure he was prepared for it.
I just can't accept it.
Listen, Arata. The family has decided to settle it.
I agreed to it.
What's over is over.
You shouldn't throw away your life for a dead man. Okay?
We were... father and son.
What father and son?
You sipped sake out of tiny cups and spoke a bunch of nonsense, that's all it was.
If you threw your life away feeling obligated for something so trival...
I'd be mad as hell.
Life isn't all about living long.
I didn't raise you to become such so unreasonable!
Arata!
Mother.
Do you want me to be a lowlife gangster?
Bring this to Prince Hakone.
Tell him it's a remembrance.
Yes.
Would you've liked war than private settlement?
It'd cost us so much money, men would die...
...the police would give us a hard time...
So what's the advantage, Mr. Kunihara?
There's such a thing as procedure for matters of the world.
You went ahead and acted without our consent.
We had no choice.
If we had to wait for your decision...
...we'd have become staggering old men with gray hair.
Stop bullshitting.
Restructuring is the trend of the society today.
It's about time we caught up.
It was almost past due for the old man to retire.
Mr. Hijikata of Bando Alliance said so, too.
So we've done our duty to you squarely.
Now it's your turn.
You'd agree to taking care of our baggage, wouldn't you?
Mr. Kunihara?
It's begun already.
I don't think we can turn back now.
I thank you greatly for taking your time to visit my father's alter the other day.
I brought this sword as a remembrance of my father. Please accept.
A word from an old man.
Hold life dear.
Uncle, thank you for traveling so far for me.
Stop calling me Uncle, will you?
I'm a straight man now.
You're still an uncle to me.
I'm a business entrepreneur of a sort, thanks to the Prince.
Arata, don't do anything crazy.
Yes.
Hello!
I've borrowed about 1600 guns.
In addition...
What on earth are you doing?
Anyway, I suppose we can collect them all in a week or so.
We're collecting them for our personal reasons.
You guys go easy on our clients.
Yes, don't worry.
We're square with our future loans with consent from Nomoto Enterprises.
Brother.
What?
I don't see weapons for me.
You can do errands.
I hope it'll come out nicely.
Rihei Toda...
Sure you want to declare war on the Otaki gang?
One plus one equals two, doesn't it?
It'll cause trouble.
Not only to the Otaki gang, but also the Bando Alliance, who's mediating won't stay quiet.
So what?
Father's gone now.
I don't care what happens.
You guys keep yourselves out of sight.
This is my personal business.
I can't.
I'm a part of your body.
Oh, I saw it on TV but there's a good trick for that.
They said it works well to wrap this around. You wanna try it?
What?
May I?
Hey, you guys give me a hand!
Keep at it!
Looks real good!
Get us some nori, will you?
My family makes nori back home. So there's plenty.
Thanks for the food!
What's that?
A refreshing change, so to speak.
Enjoying life, huh?
Well, come on in and have a drink.
There's no use crying over spilt milk.
One needs to enjoy life instead.
Good attitude.
It's important to relax in life.
Getting mad at each and everything that happens won't do you any good.
Yes.
Hey, hey! Look at you.
You guys are too relaxed.
Hey!
Hey, hey! They're Yong Hyam and Soohe.
They're from Pusan.
They ended up in my custody after going through some stuff.
They're good girls except they drink.
Don't look so surprised, Yong Hyam.
Arata's father was Korean-Japanese.
Wanna date?
Date! Date! Let's go out!
Right here!
Here. Let's do it again next time.
Fool!
Kuni! You're right.
I spoke with Boss after that.
We don't look good if we just get pushed into accepting the deal.
Honestly, don't you think we aren't even unless the head of the Otaki gang goes, too?
Yeah. Are you serious, manager?
Yeah. Boss agrees, too.
Forget the settlement...
You know it means an all-out war with the Otaki gang?
I hope you understand that.
The Sanadas have our pride and a face to save, too.
Because you went along with the settlement from the beginning...
...they make light of the Sanada gang.
I know, I've heard enough, so stop it already.
So how are we gonna take it to the next step?
Boss and I will get men and funds.
We want you to be in charge and take out Otaki.
Alright, manager.
But I don't need men.
I want you to gather information.
On where Otaki is and how many security men he's got.
I need solid information on those.
Thanks, Kuni.
We appreciate it.
Kuni!
What's up with that hair?
Just felt like it!
Yeah. He's a mad cobra alright.
As soon as I dangled prey in front of him, he bit into it.
Guess we'll go ahead. Gotta win to get ahead in this world.
Are you feeling guilty, Boss?
What about you? Don't you hurt too?
Yo!
Yeah.
How long are you gonna hang around me?
Not that again!
Spare me please.
I told you I'm a part of your body.
It's seriously gonna be seriously this time time around.
But you always say life isn't about how long or short it is.
You'd die.
If you keep hanging around me.
Brother.
Let me get something straight here once and for all.
I love you for your honesty!
I admire that!
I won't ever leave your side.
By the way, about Sabu, Hiroshi and Tomiya...
I'll set them straight and send them back to their families. So don't worry.
Don't forget to pay them for collecting weapons for me.
Yeah. I'll give them a good chunk.
Oh, there they are! We were waiting for you!
Brother, let's get some chilled noodles. I'm hungry.
Chilled noodle? It's over there.
Brothers from the headquarters! Having fun on your date?
So laid back when your boss has been killed.
I heard a quick settlement is being made.
You bastards!
Is it that the Sanada gang just don't say anything?
Are you from the Otaki gang?
What if we are?
Brother! Stop!
Brother!
Let go of me!
There was gory murder which left three men dead and two critically injured.
The victims are five men who belong to the Otaki gang who's based in Shinjuku.
After eating at a nearby restaurant...
...they got into an argument with the killer on the street...
...and one by one got beaten up with a crowbar found on the street.
The three who died had been hit in places like the back and the abdomen...
Then later dragged around by the weapon, and were found to have been instantly dead.
According to witnesses...
Really for real, he caused some serious trouble.
Kunisada the fool.
Do you have any idea where he might be, Mr. Hiraoka?
Frankly, I want to get him out of the yakuza world.
But if he keeps killing people...
...he'd get hung next time for sure.
You think he'd be hung without a fight?
He's Arata Kunisada.
I wonder.
Tell you the truth...
his father saved my life a long time ago.
When I was still a rookie, I investigated the Sanada's gambling shop...
Kuni lost his mind and stabbed me with a knife.
Then his father threw himself in to save me.
There was such an incident, wasn't there?
I have deep feelings for him.
Sorry but I wouldn't be of any help to you.
You used to be Sanada's brother.
Weren't you and his father brothers, too?
I don't remember my past.
I see.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Did you know two women are on the run with them?
My sources say they look like they're from the peninsula.
Why can't we go with you? - Please take us with you!
That's enough!
We're wanted by the police.
Go back to your hometown and behave yourselves.
This is the retirement money. Give it to Tomiya, too.
Then... then we'll house sit for you.
That's right. - We can't go home now!
Can't you take me seriously?
We beg you! Please!
We're killing the boss of the Otaki gang!
Don't you get it, you fools? - Please! Please!
Mr. Shibatani!
I'll kill you!
Understand that, you bastards.
Don't follow us, bastards!
Hiroshi.
Take this money and go back to your hometown.
What are you gonna do, Sabu?
I'm... going to wait for them here.
I'm staying, too.
Father is planning to do something big.
We can turn our back in such a time.
Right? Right?
I'm sorry.
I'm going.
Please get rid of my stuff.
Thank you!
Yo!
150 for getting rid of this car and this, and we're even.
Alright.
Old man, could you get us a ride?
I couldn't.
You couldn't...? We'll pay you for it.
Here.
You're greedy, aren't you? Alright, here's some more!
How's that?
Take it, then!
How far are you gonna follow us around?
Quit already or we're gonna rape you!
Say something, will you?
Hey.
Then, I'll get another room with Soohe.
I'll talk to Soohe, so give me some time.
Brother, please take care of Yong Hyam.
Kunisada...
Let's goto Hong Kong together.
Let's goto Hong Kong... together.
Kunisada...
Together...
Let's go to Hong Kong.
Kunisada...
Let's go together.
Together.
Kunisada...
Let's go to Hong Kong.
Okay.
You've been a fool to trust the yakuza.
The date is over.
I'm sorry, Uncle, to have caused you trouble.
Aren't they both good girls?
I'm sorry, we've had them.
Idiot! Shall we go?
Kunisada...
Can't be in this business if you're scared of fire.
Ain't I right?
Yes.
Come and get me, I say.
Boss...
You're drinking too much. - Nonsense, you fool.
This salted plum contains this something acid or whatever, and it's good for the heart.
Isn't that right? Right?
Alright now.
Piss... I need to piss.
Stupid! Not you!
Hey! Hey, you!
Give me one in the toilet.
It's okay.
Oh no, you have to swallow it all.
You got some right here.
You bastard!
What's the matter, daddy?
Boss! Boss! Boss!
You did a good job, both of you.
Nakajo and Komoro are both happy.
It's a trivial amount but please accept it.
Thank you for all that you've done for us, Chief.
No, no. I'm relieved to see you getting along and working together.
Mr. Kunihara did a great job as expected.
He had the security men as well as his woman taken out so that there'd be no evidence.
I'm seriously impressed by his meticulousness.
So Nakajo, what's going on with the Otaki gang?
Does it look like we can settle this one right away?
Yes. There are differences among some of the Otaki's bonded brothers...
...but if we can get it to be publicly acknowledged, I think that'll do it.
Sometimes we need to be forceful.
We just need to find a way to release the tension.
Isn't it right, Komoro?
Yes.
We could take out Arata Kunisada...
...the man who actually executed the task and make things okay.
You heard him, Kunihara.
So that gangster Kunisada or whatever his name...
Would you agree to have him taken out?
Of course.
Then we've got it all resolved, haven't we, Kunihara?
We got rid of the seniors...
...and now each of you can reign as the head your families.
All we need now is for you two to exchange cups of brotherhood from me.
Brother, a beetle!
Wow, it's been a long time.
Brother, look, it's a beetle.
Haven't seen one in a long time, have you?
Hey! What's that?
A Beetle!
Hello?
May I ask who?
Yes, hold on.
Brother! It's the headquarters manager.
Yeah.
We're taking it easy.
What did he say?
He says he's personally gonna bring us the gift of 10 million.
That's the least he can do.
Looks like rain, doesn't it?
Hey, Kuni-boy!
You look well, don't you?
Still alive.
Boss is impressed. From the bottom of his heart.
Hey, bring out the money!
Yes!
Well, just go abroad or stay there, alright?
But you won't have to worry about money at all. Leave it to us, alright?
So what's been happening with the Otaki gang since then?
Yeah, we're glaring at each other.
You know, what'd you call it, a volatile situation, is it?
Yeah, you know...
...the settlement deal is out of the window now. Gone!
By the way, how come you even killed Otaki's woman?
What are you talking about? That's all your doing, wasn't it?
I only shot Otaki.
What?
You couldn't trust me, so you sent in another man for the job, didn't you?
What's that?
Just a couple of minute, please.
What the hell's this?
Shoot me!
Over here!
Yo, bastard!
What the fuck, bastard! Who the fuck are you?
Are you with the fuckin' Otakis?
Say it!
I'll burn your head.
Here. Say it!
Are you with Otaki?
Say it! Don't bullshit, alright?
Who sent you!? Spit it out already!
It's Otaki!
Don't fuckin' bother us, bastard!
Wait a minute.
Iguchi, Iguchi... Come on, Iguchi!
It's voice mail.
What do you make out of this?
How come Otaki bullets got in the way of our driving?
Brother?
It's weird any way you look at it!
I told you again and again, that Kunisada is crazy.
He's a crazy bastard who you just can't afford to fail taking out!!
My man Iguchi set things up at the risk of his life.
You understand, Mr. Nakajo?
Well, well, don't be so upset just because our attacks failed once or twice.
That one failed attack has set Kunisada on fire, you see?
Thanks to you, we've lost 10 million!!
Now, now, no crying over spilt milk.
That's not all.
You sent another killer to the hospital.
So you don't trust us, do you?
Just precautions, you know.
We're putting our lives at risk here.
We've already made a blunder...
...and if the gang finds out about our secret dealings...
...we're dead.
Anyway, we'll complete our business with Kunisada.
What's the point of whining over what's been done, huh?
We're allies who need to walk hand in hand 'til the end of the world!
Right?
Mr. Hijikata would get really mad if he knew we're arguing like this.
I suppose we're all gonna end up under the umbrella of the Bando Alliance after all.
Right, Mr. Kunihara? And Mr. Iguchi?
Oh, really?
That doesn't sound good.
Of course, as long as I get paid a fair amount.
Yeah... Yeah.
See you later.
Mr. Tabata. - Yes.
Mr. Nakajo really makes you work, doesn't he?
I'll be waiting for you, Eiichi.
I'll beat you up if you lied.
Don't worry.
I can't live without you any more.
Especially that part of me.
Mr. Asai, don't you think they're telling lies?
I don't think so.
Judging from his personality, I can't think he wants his young men involved.
But you'd think he'd at least call or something...
Since all of them are waiting for his return in his office.
Don't think too much about it.
What do they want?
Real annoying!
Who the hell are you?
I'm the police.
Is Mr. Arata Kunisada here?
The police had just left!
That's strange.
What the hell are you doing here?
I just wanted to see your face since it's been a while.
See my face? In a place like this, if you got arrested, you're dead!
Your life's over!
You got Otaki, didn't you?
How about a little walk?
What's happening with the Otaki/Sanada situation?
They're making cartoon-like moves, collaborating in a weird way.
Looks like Nakajo and the Bando Alliance are merging this time.
Nakajo of the Otakis got consent from Hijikata, Bando's number two man...
...and killed Boss Sanada.
Then, he went to Kunihara of the Sanada gang...
...they're on good terms with behind everyone's back...
And he carried out the killing of Otaki.
The series of killings are a dirty plot, so to speak.
So that's what it was.
By the way, will you tell me the truth about something?
After you shot Otaki, did you attack the entire room and even killed his woman?
I'm not that crazy to kill any woman.
I see.
So your revenge is complete.
Then hurry up and disappear from here.
Somewhere far where we can't reach you.
Thank you for telling me what's going on.
Mr. Asai...
I won't forget your kindness.
Such faithful housekeepers.
Really.
I've tortured them so...
...so much and they still don't give in.
Usually, they'd talk if I hurt them this much.
The fact that these housekeeping babies are so tough...
...tells me Kunisada isn't some half-ass man.
No wonder Nakajo's bullets failed to get him.
It's a joke...
...releasing cats on a tiger.
Let's go.
Yes.
...Brutal Murder...
Hey, get out already!
You use it, many people die.
You understand?
Wait!
This manual, take it.
It is written in Chinese.
You need a dictionary, too.
"Judgmental priority"...?
What the hell is "judgmental priority"?
Brother, I can't read it, this Chinese manual stuff!
I figure something's gotta come out if we pull the trigger.
Bando Building
Brother, let's keep going.
What the hell are you doing?
Get outta the way! Get outta the way!!
Brother, let's go do some more! Outta the way!
What's taking you so long?
We've got the men standing by since last night!!
If you'd gotten Kunisada in the first place...
...it wouldn't have been such a disaster.
What's the use in going over the past, idiot!
What we've gotta do now, do everything we can to find him and kill him, haven't we?
You're the one who made the mistake first.
If you'd taken him out, Iguchi wouldn't have had to die.
Shut up!!
That old man Nakajo cursed me out on the phone...
...blaming us for making Kunisada go crazy or something.
Hunting a man isn't like going fishing.
But that man's totally bugged out!
Who'd shoot a rocket into the Bando Alliance headquarters and blow them up?
Isn't he fun?
That's how a man should be.
Anyway, it seems like emergency for them for real.
Old man Nakajo had a shrieky voice.
We're Mr. Nakajo's outside brothers.
Whatever hell the Nakajo gang has to go through, it won't affect us.
Right, Mr. Tabata?
Boss, I've gotta go for a minute.
Where are you going?
Just to the men's room.
Come back quickly.
Yes.
You sure he'll show up?
Into the territory of the enemy awaiting him?
If I were him, I'd go for Mr. Nakajo next.
Is that how it is, Mr. Soo?
Don't call me Mr. Soo.
Sorry.
He's a born fighter.
All he thinks about is revenge now.
Let's go now!
Got 'em, got 'em! Brother!
Serves you right!
We won't die, you bastards!
We won't die, you bastards...
Wow! Incredible! Shall we get them here?
Let's enjoy the show for a little while longer.
It's hot.
Get a car with an airconditioner.
Why don't you take your coat off?
Mr. Tabata...
Shall we use that thing?
For real?
Brother, don't mind me. Go on your own!
Go on your way!
Looks good, Mr. Soo!
Don't call me Mr. Soo!
So how is he doing, that fireball kid of the Sanadas?
Yes.
Is he alive?
He's as good as dead at this point.
As a result of silly recklessness.
I guess that's alright, too.
To die is one way to train oneself.
Rock'n'roll.
