Rest in peace.

Not a bad job.

Oh my god!

What's wrong?

I'm late!

It's not time for work, let's have breakfast.

I totally forgot I had a super important meeting first thing this morning.

Sorry, Tacchan, I have to gotta go right now.

Morning.

Good morning.

Breakfast is ready.

Thank you for the meal.

Hey, Tatsu.

What?

Mom forgot to take her lunch box.

What the hell!

Himawari.

Yes?

Please feed Gin.

This is kind of a waste of his effort, right?

Miku, you forgot a lunch box!

Shoot, I forgot my smart phone.

Excuse me, Sir.

Excuse me!

Sorry, this isn't a good time.

You have no choice.

What's your occupation?

I'm a full-time house husband.

A full-time house husband?

Fair enough...

So, if I give you this will you let me go?

Hey, are you kidding me?

I have to give my wife her lunch box.

Hey Sakai, what's going on?

Sakai.

Please stay right there.

That guy is the "Immortal Tatsu".

Immortal...?

Near the end of the Heisei era, a gang war broke out between the Fukasaku Yakuza group in Kanto and the Watase Yakuza group in Kyushu.

At that time, the young leading subordinate of the Tenjaku yakuza group, the Immortal Tatsu, entered the battle.

He challenged the Watase group by himself and eliminated them in just one night.

He became a legend that is till talked about today.

I heard he disappeared after that, but I can't believe he lives in this town...

Hey, I told you not to move. What are you trying to do?

I'm not going to make it in time!

My coupon.. Give it back!

Ah, yes.

Don't mess with a house husband.

Episode 1

The Tenjaku Yakuza Group Office

The Oshiroyama yakuza group finally pledged loyalty the Yamanomori yakuza group.

So that's why...

The Oshiroyama group has been stepping into our territory lately.

Since they have support from the Yamanomori, the Oshiroyama are getting cocky.

They threatened to destroy us if we didn't pledge loyalty too.

Chairman, you're not going to do it, right?

Who the hell do you think you're talking to? Of course, not!!

I'm sorry. I knew it, but...

What can we fight them all without brother Tatsu?

Who is or isn't still here matters not..

The Yakuza world is about "Do or Die".

If they start a war, we'll just have to destroy them.

If they take even a single step inside our territory, kill them!

But the Yamanomori group is backing them up...

There's no way we can fight them!

Fighting isn't about the number of people, it's about the spirit.

That's right, it's Spirit.

Even if it's 100 to 1, you can win if you have spirit.

As you'd expect, it's impossible...

Yup, it's impossible.

Don't talk nonsense!

Not me!

Young people today have no physical strength.

That's right. They have weak elbows.

Elbows have nothing to do with it? That makes no sense at all.

Tatsu did it all himself.

He did everything with his elbows. Can't you do that too?

There's no way I can!

You're such a wimp.

Fine, I'll do it!

Your life... Will you put it on the line?

I'll risk my life to protect the Tenjaku.

Don't waste your life!

So what should I do then?!

I wish Tatsu was here..

I can't believe this...? Ah, I'm sorry.

I guess there's no choice. I'll have the newbie do some housework for me.

Can you do it?!

Not bad...

That's no good! You gotta clean the corners too.

The corner is the dustiest area. Don't hesitate!

For these areas, you have to wrap socks and a pair of pantyhose around a stick, and...

Are you listening to me?!

Look, you fucking amateur!

Don't mess with a house husband.

Gin.

Gin, calm down!

Hey, Gin!

Chairman, is this the house?

That's right, this is the one..

I want to introduce you to him since he didn't make it to the lady's club.

He may look like a gangster but he's a very nice man.

I'm sorry. I screwed up.

Tatsu, you're bleeding badly!

Moron! Do you know how much I care about you?

Don't!

I'll call 911.

Why not?

It's not blood..

It's Wine isn't it? Your scary face made me think the worst.

I hate this kind of joke so don't let it happen again!

Are you sorry?!

Sorry...

Damn it!

What? 100 yen for a single cabbage?!

Hey, this is a hell of a deal.

Brother?

A point card...

As always, thank you for shopping here.

You're running quite the ruthless business here... What kind of connections do you have?

Well...we get our stuff directly from the local farmers...

Directly from the local farmers?!

Who'd you have to kidnap to get this kind of low price..?

Kidnap? This conversation has gone a little sideways...

Sorry for all the lame questions, and thanks.

These prices are a big help for a house husband.

Thank you! By the way Sir, you have enough points for our lucky draw. Do you want to try it?

I'm so sorry! It's none of my business!

Of course I'll give it a go.

I can't take all this tension...

Whatever it is, just give him a prize!

Hurry up.

Yes.

This is it.

Jackpot! Congratulations!

It's a 1,000-yen gift certificate. Please take it.

Thanks!

That'd be cheating.

I'll give you this one too. Thank you!

Sorry, I got carried away.

Thank you.

No, thank YOU.

What's up! Brother!

Masa.

Brother, the Tenjaku group will disappear if you don't help them out.

I know all about how you're living now.

But, for the Chairman's sake, please come back!

Masa, I'm a house husband now.

How did a gangster like you become a house husband?!!

Keep your voice down!

Why don't we have a chat elsewhere.. OK!!

Let's enjoy cooking!

Yes.

Today we're going to make Italian croquettes.

We'll be using white rice instead of potatoes.

Now let's start!

Yes!

Attack that!

Cut everything the same way.

How's this?

Not bad.

How's this?

Wow, Brother, it's beautiful!

Let's give him a hand!

Wow, Brother, that's a nice pic.

Ready? Croquette!

Ready? Croquette!...Bullshit!!!

That was close, I almost forgot what I was here for..

What the hell is this?

Ready? Croquette!... This is stupid!

A house husband? What happened to The Immortal Tatsu?

Masa, listen here..

Housewives wake up before anyone else, make breakfast, do the laundry, pick up the kids,

make dinner, bathe the kids, put the kids to sleep, and do the laundry again after their husbands go to bed,

and before they know it, it's midnight.

Running a Yakuza group may not be easy...

But there's no harder work than being a housewife.

Masa, you better watch your back. If you talk shit about housewives, they'll kill ya..

I have my own way to protect what's important to me.

Violence... it can't protect what's precious to you.

Brother...

Don't take peace for granted!

Ouch! Brother, you're getting violent with me right now!

Cross now!

Goodbye.

Take care.

Hey Himawari, it's your dad.

Hey hey!

Brother, it's the Oshiroyama group.

Hey brother.

What?

If you park your car there I can't see if the kids jump out.

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

Am I talking to a telephone pole?

Who do YOU think you're talking to?

This guy is Immortal Tatsu.

Is he immortal?

No clue...

Look who it is...

I heard that you quit being a Yakuza. And now you're a crossing guard?

Immortal Tatsu has really fallen in the world, right?

Ah, you're with the Tenjaku group, right?

Did you quit being a Yakuza to follow Tatsu like a shadow?

That's not true.

Hey, it stinks...

("Goldfish shit" has the same Kanji as "following like a shadow")

It must be because of all the Goldfish shit.

Tell Chairman Eguchi that if he doesn't pledge loyalty to the Yamanomori, we'll destroy the Tenjaku.

Screw you!

What?

Please move your car.

Oshiroyama, if any kids get hurt, you're gonna have to pay for that.

That's fine.

Move that car now. This is a no-parking zone...

Please move the car right now!

Have a nice day!

Don't fuck with the Immortal Tatsu you bastards!

That's my Brother.

Brother...Why?

OK. You can cross now.

Goodbye!

Ah, I'm fine.

Why did you hit Masa? Poor him.

Himawari, may I carry your bag?

Leave it, we're almost home!

Could it be the Oshiroyama...

Masa!

Take care of Himawari.

Yes.

Miku!

Miku!

Tacchan...

I was trying to make hamburgers since I got off early today...

And it turned out like this.

How could this happen?

Sis, please don't scare me like that.

This is what happens when you do things you don't normally do.

I was just trying to make Himawari and Tacchan happy though...

Well well...

Masa, what happened to your cheek? It's swollen.

Hey!

Well, earlier...

Hey!

Sorry, this is my fault, but...

Your cheeks are turning red.

Nothing.

Brother, thank you for the meal.

Masa, if you can't fight for yourself, don't talk big.

I don't like that kind of guy.

I'll give you a hand.

Miku. Miku?

Done.

Miku!

I'm thirsty.

I've been attending a women's club a lot lately. Housewives are interesting.

They complain about their husbands a lot.

They can't complain directly to their husbands, so that's how they get rid of their stress.

Could it be that Tacchan...

Not me. I have no complaints.

Then why are you refolding the laundry that I've already folded?

Ah, yes!

I'm asking you...

I got some loot through one of my connections. Do you want to try it out?

Loot?

Miku!

What the hell is that? That's gross!

Try it.

It's tasty.

See?

This is a Rambutan, it's a relative of the Lychee.

It looks gross, but it's rich in vitamin C and makes the skin beautiful.

It's just like you.

People don't judge you fairly because of the way you look.

But if they get to know you they'll realize you're the best.

May I have more?

Of course!

Himawari, do you want to try it?

What the hell is that? It's gross!!

Himawari!

Don't say Kissho (gross). Where did you learn that dirty word?

Good night.

Himawari, did you do your homework?

Yes.

Himawari, I'm proud of you. I wonder where she gets that from.

I'm sure it's not from mom.

That's quite the mouth.

I just remembered...

Tatsu had a fight with some yakuza today.

And Tatsu slapped Masa too.

Good night.

Tacchan?

When we got married, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't get in trouble anymore?

It wasn't a fight. I just warned them.

Can't you keep a promise?

I can!

You can't!

Sorry, I'll take responsibility.

Cut it out!

Masa, if you can't fight by yourself, don't talk big.

Women's Club Chairlady's House

It takes a lot of time for clothes to dry inside when there's a lot of laundry.

If you put balls of newspaper under the wet clothes they'll dry faster.

Really?

That's right.

The newspaper has to be crumpled.

It absorbs more water that way.

Tatsu, you're amazing. Your housewife level is max.

You're the boss of Karyu town!

Well...by any chance...do you know the best way to clean the kitchen?

I do.

You need some of this white stuff.

What the hell is that?

This here's baking soda.

Can I check out your kitchen before I start cleaning?

Please go ahead!

Chairman.

What?

Aren't you just trying to get Tatsu to do the cleaning for you?

Oh please! Nothing of the sort.

Sorry.

Well, there's a lot to take care of when you have a big family.

Yeah, I have three kids you know.

But there'll be one less person from next month.

Why?

Actually, my daughter is going to study abroad.

To be honest, I'm really gonna miss her.

I understand.

Since it's her birthday this month I want to throw a huge party.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do.

We can help you.

Thank you. My daughter is interested in a lot of things, so...

Tatsu, long time no see.

It's been a long time.

Hey!

Hey Yuka-chan, why don't you go take their order?

Sure...

Sure isn't the answer..

Hurry it up and take our order!

Hurry it up! Hurry!

So?

I want to order my drink. "Blended" for me.

What's "Blended"?

You're quite the brave girl.

Are you a new waitress?

Yes.

"Blended coffee" is just regular coffee around here.

Ah, if you want a regular cup of coffee then just ask for one please...

You're pretty cool aren't you girl.

I'll have the "Special parfait".

With that face!!

Sorry for being so rude!! Stop laughing!

Kids these days...

Shall I have her take responsibility?

Don't do that.

Yuka-chan, those are Yakuza people. You should be a little careful...

So what if they're Yakuza?

You just don't get it...

So,

Tatsu, please listen to me seriously.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure Masa has already told you...

May I continue?

Go ahead.

I'm sure Masa has already told you.

The Yamanomori from Kansai wants us to pledge loyalty to them.

Of course, I told them to get lost..

Any yet those Oshiroyama bastards pledged their loyalty like it was nothing.

They joined up with the Yamanomori.

And now they're talking shit saying they're going to destroy the Tenjaku.

Yeah, that bastard said something like that the other day.

Tatsu, I need your help.

Oi, you can't get a brain freeze from a parfait!

Damn, you! I'm talking about something serious right now!!

Brain freeze!

What the hell are they doing?

Hello?

What? Understood.

Big Sister.

Tatsu, I'm glad you came.

What's Masa's condition?

Don't worry. It's not life-threatening.

He attacked the Oshiroyama alone...

Hey!

He's such an idiot.

I guess he wanted to be like you, Tatsu.

The Oshiroyama Yakuza Group Office

I'm not gonna let you do whatever you want...

However...

Your guy started the fight.

We just defended ourselves.

If you give one of my boys a beating...

Do you think I'm gonna do nothing?

So what are you gonna do about it?

Are you gonna start a gang war?!!

Without Tatsu...

How are you gonna fight us?

Don't mess with me...

taking the head of a bastard like you... it's not a problem.

Listen here Eguchi...

You bastards just need to pledge your loyalty and become part of our group.

Otherwise, your people are gonna suffer.

If you still want fight us...

then we'll just destroy you.

Once you've said it...

You can't take it back!!

Chairman

Chairman, how can I say no if you ask like that?

I don't know how much I can do... but I'll do my best.

I have to spend a little bit of money. Sorry, Miku.

Tacchan, it's your decision. Be careful.

OK.

Welcome.

Hey!

Please look around. Hello! Please look around. Hello...

Hey, it's me.

Are you a Yakuza?

I'm Tatsu.

It's you!

Let me see the usual stuff.

Come with me.

So what's going on?

Well, a lot of things.

I have a lot of different weapons. Take a gander.

How about this one?

Check it!

This isn't just for stabbing.

What else?

You can stab and spin.

Then, you can draw a circle like a compass.

Why the hell would I want to draw a circle?!

OK, no circle then...

How about this one?

I like it. Let me check it out.

This is super heavy. Here's how you hold it...

You hold this edge like this and the other edge like that.

How about this? This is a very strong weapon.

That one again!

Did I?

Anyway, Tatsu,

Yes?

I heard a rumor.

Already?

Yes.

Whatever you do, don't be reckless.

OK.

A full-scale war?!

There's no way that the Tenjaku group is going to stay quiet...

Immortal Tatsu might do something.

Keep eye on them!

Yes!

What? You're sold out of Lotus Roots? What the hell?

Yeah, we have some Koso. (Koso is an herb, and also means gang war)

Get me some Lotus Roots ASAP!

Lotus roots? Did he really say that?

That's right.

He must be talking about a Gun.

Really?

This is a huge problem.

He also said, 'Yes, we have some Koso".

What?!

I have a friend in the Organized Crime Department. I'll let him know about this.

A gang war is really going to start!

The number is out of service.

Hey, have you heard the rumor that Immoral Tatsu is getting back into the Yakuza world after going straight?

Seriously? A gang war is going to start again... I better quit my job to stay safe!

Is it true that Brother came here?

Welcome.

Hello.

I heard that Brother came here.

He bought 18 of these. Is he a vendor? I guess he needed them for a wedding or a funeral.

I always come here with Brother, the Immortal Tatsu!

Tatsu bought a lot of weapons, survival knives, banzai knives, etc.

He's probably gonna do something shocking.

Really?

He must have run out of patience after Masa was badly beaten.

I asked Tatsu to help us.

You're awesome!

I can get things done when I try.

I'm going to talk to Brother.

Hold up! He's getting things going by himself.

Do you know why? He doesn't want to bother anyone.

Don't do anything unnecessary.

But...

Listen, we have to act like we don't know anything now.

When Tatsu destroys the Oshiroyama, we'll back him up.

When he destroys them we'll back him up.

Then, Tatsu will say, "Chairman, Big Sister, and Masa! What are you doing here?".

So, you have to say, "Tatsu, I won't let you fight alone!".

Tatsu, I won't let you fight alone!

Say it with feeling!

Tatsu, I won't let you fight alone!

Like that!

Oshiroyama bastards, prepare yourselves!!

Do it Kabuki style!

Oshiroyama bastards, prepaaaare yourseeelves!!

Very good. Masa, it's your turn. Max volume please.

Oshiroyama bastards, prepare yourselves!!!!!

You're too damn loud!! My eardrums were gonna burst!!

My eardrums were gonna burst!

Speaking of Brother, it's him.

I'll answer it.

Hello?

Masa. How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

Is that so.. That's great..

By the way, are you free tomorrow?

Here it comes...

Can you come to the Hirono Bridge river bed at 1 pm tomorrow?

I couldn't get any lotus roots. Can you bring some tomorrow?

Understood, Brother. Thanks for asking!

Bring your friends too. I want it to be flashy.

I will.

The gang war is finally about to start..

When you save Tatsu he'll thank the Chairman...

Then, because of you're kindness he'll come back to the group!!

Once Tatsu comes back to us, we'll be unstoppable!

My time is finally here!

The world is gonna know my name!!!

Darling!

Chairman, what's wrong?

Is it anemia?

It's all for the Chairman.

In 2020, the Tenjaku yakuza group led by Eguchi Kikujiro is going to fight for their life.

After being a Yakuza for 42 years he will now try to build a new kingdom.

This fight could spark gang wars across Japan.

A big event is about to happen in the Japanese Yakuza world.

People will call this "The Old Town Yakuza War"!

Let's go!

Prepare yourself!

Is it OK to open fire on them if necessary?

Of course. You should protect your own life.

Yes.

What the hell is going on?

Tatsu?

Brother, are you done already?

I had to start a little early.

There may not be any left for you.

OK, let's finish this!

Go!

Me first?

Oshiroyama, prepare yourself!

Oshiroyama bastards!

Ouch! I can't see anything.

What?

The Chairman's oldest daughter.

Tanaka Eri

It's not cooked yet.

You should cook them some more. Be patient.

The Chairman's oldest daughter.

Tanaka Eri

Darling, what's going on here?

Panic!

Who the hell are you?

A cop?!

Hey Chairman, what are you doing with those cops?

It's Masa.

Hey Masa!

Good day..

Hey Brother, what's this all about?

It's a barbecue.

The Chairman asked me to organize her daughter's birthday party.

Can you plan a little something for my daughter's birthday?

Sorry, Tatsu-san is the only one I can ask..

Chairman, how can I say no if you ask like that?

I don't know how much I can do, but I'll do my best.

No matter what world it is, Duty and humanity are very important.

So dear, he didn't grant your request...

Did you bring some lotus root? I want to make some skewers..

Absolutely not!

Lotus root...

He's talking vegetables!

Mr Policemen, what are you all doing here?

Ah, we heard there was some Koso (gang war) here.

Ah, we certainly have some Koso (herbs).

Here's some fresh coriander.

This ain't the koso I was talking about!

Masa, did you ask Chairman and Big Sister to join us?

Thanks a lot for coming all the way here.

Please enjoy the BBQ.

I don't know why you policemen are here, but if you'd like to celebrate her birthday with us, let's exchange sake cups ("sakazuki" which means pledging loyalty between Yakuza).

Panic!

Panic!

Darling, calm down.

Panic!

Panic!

Panic!

What barbecue?!

Panic!

We've been doing everything we can to protect the Tenjaku group since you left.

You've got to be kidding me!

Who do you think you're talking to?

Hey Brother. What the hell is a house husband?!!

I thought...

for my sake,

and for the Chairman and Big Sister...

that you were going to destroy the Oshiroyama!

The Oshiroyama group?

That's right,

I've already had a word with them.

What?

I apologize for being so selfish the other day..

Since I've already left the Yakuza I know it's not right for me to get involved.

But it was Chairman Eguchi who saved me when I was abandoned by my parents.

And it's Masa who thinks of me like his real brother.

Even though I've left the yakuza, the Tenjaku group are still my important family members.

Please back off.

The immortal Tatsu has fallen down in the world.

You bow your head to people too easily.

There's something I learned when I became a house husband.

Protecting the family is a house husband's job.

A house husband? Bullshit!

So what are you going to do if I refuse?!

If you refuse and my family gets hurt...

then the dragon on my back is gonna wake up.

Is that so..

Oshiroyama, ya better not mess with a house husband!

Store discount coupon

You...

protecting your family...

you did a good job Masa.

Brother.

By the way, why didn't you tell us about the barbecue?

What?

So, did we totally misunderstand?

Panic!

Panic!

Darling, pull yourself together!

Panic!

You're obstructing a Police Officer!

I'm arresting you for obstructing a Police Officer!

Darling!

Chairman!

You're obstructing Police Officers!

This isn't fair!

Darling!

Chairman! Big Sister!

What the hell is this mess? Get the hell out of here!

Brother, explain it to the Policemen!

Masa!

What's going on?

No idea.

So, did Masa get the wrong idea?

I think so.

So Tacchan, did I hear you say that you visited the Oshiroyama's office alone?

We just had a chat.

Since you broke your promise you have to buy me whatever I want.

OK, what do you want?

You should know right...

since we're family.

Protect the family...

Tacchan,

Even though she isn't my biological daughter.

Himawari is still my family.

Thank you.

Stop flirting in front of your daughter.

Himawari, let's hold hands!

Absolutely not!

Why not? We're family so it's OK, right?

No way!

Why not? Wait!

Why are you running away?

Himawari!

Himawari!

Himawari!

Hello, is this the Police? There's a crime happening!

A super scary-looking guy is chasing after a woman and a kid. It's definitely a crime.

Ah, I just tripped. Sorry.

It's totally a crime in progress... anyway, please come quickly.
