I cannot write any more.

Since we met... ...how many days have passed?

"It was a Tuesday afternoon."

What was he looking for?

And, what did I want?

No one ever sees the same scene twice.

Poor thing... ended up like this. Banging and crashing from morning 'til night...

There's a crack in our office wall, you know. What kind of crack?

Brother's rainbow goldfish Peeco is gone. Rainbow goldfish...

...they are quite sensitive creatures. Stop fooling around!

So what are you going to do about it?! Did you say you're the head of the department? - Yes. How are you gonna com-pen-sate us?

Mr. Sawamura and Mr. Ishimoto, didn't you bring something here?

Look what we found.

Com-pen-sate us. Com-pen-sate us.

How should we deal with this? We'll give you a break this time.

10 million. I'm sure your emergency fund can handle that.

You've got such a big building. Right, Chief?

Yes. It's Koyasu. It's an emergency. Dad has been stabbed.

There were five or six of them, from the Shirane! I'm sorry. They took him with them.

We're at... It's an emergency.

Drive like hell! - Alright!

Move it, will ya? What's going on? Construction.

We're getting out!

Hurry up.

Dad!

Dad? You've come at last.

Our action captain. Not again. Dad.

Koyasu. Yes. How long this time?

This time they were 18 minutes and 36 seconds.

Damn it, Koyasu! - 18 minutes and 36 seconds.

I would've been dead. Please give us a break.

We were in the middle of a job! I wanted to see you about something. Give me a break.

How many times have you done this to us?

It's part of your training, you see.

Hey, come with me. You guys, too. What is it?

Come on.

What do you think?

What's this? I know how you are.

I figured you'd forgotten about your own birthday.

Happy Birthday! Happy birthday, Kunihiko.

Here. Brother. We've got the whole place to ourselves. It's your birthday party.

Here. Here!

Let's drink 'til we drop tonight. 'Til our guts are fried up.

Dad.

Happy birthday! Happy birthday!

Pt.1: War Ensemble OUTLAW SOULS: THE AGITATOR

It's been a long time, Chief. You're looking well...

...Mizushima, Muroi. It's a Romanee-Conti '85.

The third generation boss of Tensei Group has finally been hospitalized. The race for the throne is now on.

To become the top of Tensei Group, the ruler of the big family. Your Chief Executive should become the fourth generation boss.

There's no one else who's got the capacity to handle the position... ...even with all the powerful men Tensei Group has.

There certainly are powerful uncles and brothers lined up.

I expect it to be a tough race.

Though we belong to another family... ...if there's anything we could do, we're willing to sacrifice ourselves to help.

We'd give our absolute best. Mizushima, with your Shirane Gang and your old rival Yokomizo Family combined...

...how many men would you say there are? We've got 500 and some, and the Yokomizos' 400 plus... together I think we're about 1,000.

If the Yokomizos and the Shiranes merged into our Kaito Group... ...we'll instantly expand the number to 3,000...

...thus becoming the undisputed largest force in the Tensei Group.

If by simple addition, sure. But Chief, you know, a paper tiger wouldn't do.

That's why, Mizushima, and Muroi...

...I want that paper tiger to be real.

Isn't it time you sat at the top of the Shirane?

After all, we were polishing an apple for the Tensei Group's chief executive... ...knowing such a day would come.

Am I not right, chief? It certainly is an outrageous picture he's painted.

Something only a high ranking official of the Tensei could come up with. Tatsunobu Kaito... they don't call him the Wild Dragon of Tensei Group for nothing.

It's called being caught between a rock and a hard place.

What this means is, we could be swallowed by the dragon and be finished once and for all.

I guess at this point the only way for us to go is... ...to make up our mind and go along with old man Kaito's picture.

We're like a frog about to be a snake's prey.

We'll roll with the punches, huh? Well, perhaps we might have come as far as we could, as the Shirane.

Independently, I mean.

You look good. Yes. Where have you been? Well, you know, I'm sorry.

You understand the deal, right? I'm told I can go completely nuts. Is it going to be alright, for real, for me to go into Yokomizo's territory, do whatever and just leave?

It's alright, for real. Thanks. Hey, just don't do anything half-heartedly.

You bastard! You stink. Stink, you know that?

Is it fun? Mr. Salaryman! Having fun?

Hey, can you see? Can you see?

This is for free. Watch closely. Here we have an asshole.

It's dark up there.

Thank you. We're with the Higuchi Gang of the Yokomizo Family. What happened?

Sorry, the mike is broken, due to moisture.

The party's over!

Are you with the Shirane?

What if we are? You're in the Yokomizo Family's territory.

You, Shiranes, stay on the other side of the river!

I'm scared. You're scary, for real. Scary, scary. You talk too much

There's that bridge, you know. Shut up. I'll cross it if I fucking well feel like it!

...and this bar gets on my nerves!

That Shinozaki died at the hospital. So far things have turned out very well.

I feel sorry for him, poor guy. He was a crazy drug addict we didn't know what to do with anyway.

It's like killing two birds with one stone. Tsuchiya of the Yokomizo Family just called me, saying there was an unfortunate accident.

He requests that our two bosses meet and have a talk.

The bottom line is, with a Shirane man spent as a bullet, we've got things set up for the next step.

Hey, Muroi. Yes. Honestly, doesn't this make you nervous?

Chief.

If you're fed poison, lick the plate off.

Delivery. Hello, here you are.

Hitoshi, aren't you 20 this year?

What about it? Let's celebrate your coming of age! Shall we, Hitoshi?

What... What do you want? Open your mouth. - What? Ow.

What do you want? - Open your mouth. Hey! Open it!

How long are we gonna have to stand by for? Looks like it's gonna be long this time. A Shirane man died, you know.

Poor old Shintani. He's not very lucky.

Just 'cause they happened to be on watch that night, they ended up killing a man.

Excuse me. Hey, wait, wait. - Yes. About Tsutomu... Yes.

What's going on? He hasn't showed at his family's. Oh, playing hookie, is he?

He said he'd knocked up a girl or something. - Is it true?

He disappears every time a war is on. Such a slacker.

Little Yoshio. - Yoshio! Yes. Wasn't he your partner? Yes.

That's why, I've brought that boy here.

That one over there. He's just a kid.

Well, he's 20. So what if he's 20?

Hitoshi says he wants to quit. Your bike's downstairs.

Yeah, we'll pay you for the noodles, too. Bye.

Master.

What?

Can you work on a new one?

Excuse me. Quick, take his clothes off.

Ow, Ouch! Ouch!

He shouldn't move.

Sorry I'm late. Well, have a seat.

Well, your hot blooded men can be troublesome, you know.

What do you mean by that? They didn't have to kill him for getting a little drunk at a bar, don't you think?

He was just a Shirane brat going wild. We're yakuza, not a high school band.

What's that? How do we eat if we don't protect our own turf? Huh, Brother?

Well, what's done is done.

It was the Shirane that caused trouble in Yokomizo's territory.

We have had trouble between us before. But someone's dead.

Depending on how the Shiranes deal with it, this could mean trouble. They're the ones who meddled with us out of the blue.

Do you wanna tell our young guys to shut up and be pushed around, huh, Hirata?

Well, neither of us will gain anything by a war.

I've phoned Mizushima of the Shiranes. I told him the heads of the two families should have a talk first.

Yeah, that seems like the best thing to do, as the supervision department.

Everybody, how about leaving it to the sole discretion of the big boss.

How's that, Chief? First we'll see how the Shirane will approach us.

That's fine.

Boss. I'm sorry.

A young man under me took rash action without considering the consequences.

Yoichi, how long has it been since you joined my family?

9 years 3 months and 6 days, I think. And before that your Higuchi Gang was independent...

Yes. So you haven't lost the vigor you used to have back then.

Yes. Take action, Yoichi.

What kind of a yakuza would you be if you couldn't fight?

Listen, Yoichi, I let you have a cup of bonding with me 'cause I liked that spirit of yours.

Our business isn't a great one. But still, in whatever business we're in, we've got to put our heart into it, haven't we?

Do it to your heart's content... ... and I'll pick you back up when you fall.

Hello.

Hello. Brother, sorry for being late. Oh, I've been waiting for you.

Sakuraba, what time is it? It's 3:01. Where's Ohta?

He's at the river. Where are you going? - Outside.

I'll come with you. - It's okay. You're losing the game. What? Take over for me.

My turn?

Can I really start? Pay us for Brother's due, too. You can wait, can't you?

Alright!

Eat it. It's good. Alright?

He's done a beautiful job. Eat it and get some sleep.

Hurry up and eat it.

Cheer up, Satoshi. It's Hitoshi.

That's one way of calling him.

Hello? What?

Yes, he's here.

What?

Move it! Move it!

Gut and Yoshio, you guys take these. - Yes.

Hey, hold down the fort.

Hello! Hello!

Boss. Hello! Hello! We're going to go raid them. We'll take out 100 Shirane.

Hold it, Kunihiko. Uncle! We're about to have an emergency meeting at the headquarters.

It's not the time to be laid back, Uncle. Hey, Kuni.

Hold up for just a little longer.

I'd have gone insane if it were you who died.

So, I truly understand how you feel right now.

Please be careful. Kunihiko. Go in and stand by.

Give me a go-ahead soon. Kunihiko!

Don't go without my word. I know.

I apologize for barging in on you like this. What are you doing here so early in the morning? Have a seat.

It must be something important, with both Chief and his right-hand man visiting together.

She was afraid it was my wife at the door!

Boss. What it is, is that we've taken the life of the head of the Yokomizo Family.

Ouch! Hot! With Muroi's sworn brother killed by a Higuchi man from the Yokomizo Family...

...one of our men acted in retaliation. And he's done him!? That's correct.

Killed Takanori Yokomizo...

It'll be raining blood.

What's been done is done.

The only thing we can do is to prepare ourselves for a war.

Right, Mizushima? What do you think, Boss? How about...

...asking the chief executive of the Tensei Group to step in and mediate for us?

Oh, that's it! We can do that! I think that's a great idea.

Chief has been on good terms with Mr. Kaito. He'd be a very influential diplomat for the Shirane.

Am I not right, Chief?

Who's our next target? We'll do our best to refrain from taking direct action.

The Kaito Group will remain a spectator.

Thank you. I hear the Yokomizos have an on-the-edge crazy guy. Is that true?

Ultimately, we'll hold them down in the name of Tensei.

Do you know anybody who'd be tough enough to risk his life and fight to the end?

No one in particular. I don't want my valuable brother outside the family to die from being overworked.

Has headquarters given us the go ahead yet? Stupid, use your brains.

This is our big chance. The big boss is down. Someone's gotta take over his position.

Then, why can't our boss sit on the throne? Am I wrong?

You're too much, bro. You'll have headquarters on our ass again.

We'll worry about it then. We could always commit hara-kiri.

Sakuraba? Yes. What time is it?

Well, it's now about... The Checkers, wasn't it?

Bro, please, that was by the Southern All Stars. They were called that, too.

Alright.

It's big. You like meat? Yeah, very much.

Eat as much as you want.

I like a penis with pearls in it, too. Stupid.

There was a boy who was lost, crying.

Why are you acting awkward? War used to be my source of income, when I was making it on my own.

Huh?

Don't be numbed by the apparent peace.

But you know... ...this'll be the worst bloody conflict ever since you were allowed into the Yokomizo Group.

The head of the family being hit and all.

Conflicts are part of yakuza business.

But it was your men who started this, wasn't it? Don't you think your own family's being hard on you? In many ways?

Shut up. Women shouldn't meddle!

Then, hold your head up! You look like a balloon out of air.

What's so funny?

What's the matter?

It was just an associate of theirs that was killed, and what are the Shiranes thinking?

How dare they take the life of our Boss! It's no use whining about it.

There's only one thing to do. Hey.

You'd better hold back that kamikaze army of yours. For real now. If they go rampant, your relationship with the Shiranes will only get worse, you know.

What do you mean by that? I don't mean anything. Somebody shot up the Shiranes' headquarters last night.

That was brave of them... ...whoever it was.

Of course it's those brats under you. Who else would do mischief at a time like this?

It's gonna be awful.

Things are awful as they can get. How could things get worse than this, huh, Hirata? - Calm down.

No one in the Shirane died, it was just three men hospitalized in critical condition.

Perhaps after all, this created a good balance of power, so to speak. Thanks to the raid by the hot blooded men.

Actually, Higuchi, we had a phone call with Chief Executive of the Tensei Group.

And he offers mediation. Tensei Group?

You have to be kidding. It would mean my boss died for nothing...

...if we were forced to agree to a truce. In a situation like this, causing friction isn't the brightest thing to do.

Be considerate to those who're around us and come up with an answer. Isn't that the duty of the supervision department, to keep the family together?

Unfortunately, I'm not a member of the supervision department. I'm simply a manager of young men.

You are a member as of today, Higuchi. You're the Lieutenant-advisor for young men.

In any case, with the Chief Executive of the Tensei Group getting involved...

...you should at least meet and talk with him. In the meantime, you can't make any commotion.

You can pressure me with the big name of Tensei, but I absolutely refuse to back down.

Not if I wanna save face for the Yokomizo Family.

It's an order issued by the supervision department, effective today.

We request that the Higuchi Group behave itself for awhile.

At least 'til the meeting's over. So...

...what if we can't reach any agreement? Hey, chief.

What then? We'll prepare our entire family, to fight Shirane to the end.

Well, well, hasn't Higuchi got a chip on his shoulder, acting solo? No, he's got a point, too.

Just one low end man killed, and Shirane has no reason to react like this.

It's as if they were waiting for the opportunity all along. Now that you mention it, Tensei's Chief offering to mediate...

It seems too convenient, you know. But Chief, what advantage would that give Shirane, to have Tensei step in...

...when they've gone so far to attack us? Because we don't get it, we'll go along with the meeting first.

How do you do? I'm Tsuchiya, the manager of young men at the Yokomizo Family.

Let's drink.

It's not my style to beat around the bush.

Let me give it to you straight, Mr. Tsuchiya.

Will you swallow your pride and accept a truce with the Shiranes?

That's a bit difficult for us to do, it seems.

You mean, you're going to war? They've taken our Boss, you know.

Simply accepting a truce doesn't seem to calculate fair and square for us.

Alright, then!

Well lets make the calculation square, shall we?

You can take the life of Kozo Shirane. Take it.

They're Mizushima and Muroi of the Shiranes. I presume you know them.

They're just like my own brothers. Mr. Mizushima will advise you of the time and place.

And you'll pop the guns right on time and kill Shirane Kozo.

What... Don't be so surprised. Mizushima here will take over as the second generation boss of the Shiranes.

Tsuchiya. Once you've taken Shirane's life, that'll be your medal of honor to promote yourself...

...to the second generation boss of the Yokomizos.

Then afterwards... ...you'll exchange camaraderie cups of brotherhood with Mizushima.

As you heard, Mr. Tsuchiya, we'll both exchange cups with big brother Kaito...

...and swear our undying loyalty to the Tensei Group. Mr. Kaito is to be the fourth generation boss of the Tensei Group eventually.

When that happens, Mr. Tsuchiya, you'll be a direct subordinate of the Tensei Group, too. A big umbrella spells security.

You'll be living off of fine dining in the times to come, you know.

Mr. Tsuchiya, if you agree, please sign the document.

If you don't, we can't let you leave here alive.

I, Manager of young men, Hirofumi Tsuchiya... ...at this place on this day, have received a cup of inter-family brotherhood...

...from Tatsunobu Kaito Chief Executive of Tensei Group. And from this point on, I shall obey all orders given by my big brother Tatsunobu Kaito.

I hereby agree and confirm that the above statement is true under oath.

Hey, pull over for a moment. What?

Just pull over! Yes.

Kaito of the Tensei Group gave us such an intimidating look.

It's not so bad if you look at it from a different perspective. We'll take down Kozo Shirane...

...sit on the throne as the second generation head of the Yokomizos. ...and have the Tensei Group back us up. It'll be a rosy life for us, won't it?

What about our face as yakuza, Hirata? That doesn't bring us a penny nowadays.

We should just try to survive, with the Tenseis' support.

It's hard for a family to make it on their own these days.

Hello! Hello!

How are you?

We'll take the life of the head of the Shiranes. There's no mediation.

What's that about? We'd be making a fool of ourselves if we accepted mediation when our Boss has been taken.

We've got to act tough.

So, how are we gonna deal with the Tensei Group? I don't imagine the Kaitos will stay quiet if they lose face.

That's the risk we've got to take. We'll worry about it then. We're yakuza after all.

It's an eye for an eye. As soon as we locate Kozo Shirane, you and I will get a kamikaze army together.

I'll get my men to go alone. Men from different groups will get in each other's way and fail.

But you know... The conflict won't end there, you know. Like it or not, we'll eventually have to gather all the men in our family.

You need to prepare for a war with Tensei Group. Save manpower for that.

Who are you, may I ask?

Excuse me.

Looks good. That's a good one you've got. Ouch... Sorry.

Excuse me.

Oh, hello! You look well.

Chief. Oh, Kunihiko. How do you like the place?

It's hot. I'm sorry about that. Hold on just a little longer.

Looks like the Boss has made up his mind.

We'll do it Shindai and Nishi here insisted on joining you.

Captain, let us in on it. In a way we were the ones to start this whole thing at the bar.

I beg you. We can't just sit back and watch.

You could do serious jail time. Are you alright with that?

What kind of meat is this? - This one's done. It's tripe.

Tripe? It's chitlins. Bring more vegetables! Yes!

What would you call this? Chitlins. Yeah, that's chitlins. It's called tripe in Tokyo.

Here's sashimi. Have some sashimi. What time is it?

One o'clock sharp.

Uncle. Eat dinner with us.

You go ahead and enjoy it. I'm going to make a phone call.

He's tired. Uncle Torii has gone through real hard times, right?

Brother Torii is the one supporting us all in the background.

Our boss, he's after the position of the big boss, isn't he?

For a man to go after a higher role is like water flowing to a lower place.

It's a natural thing. So, it's just like your pearls buried in your penis.

Sorry! Seriously, let's help boss get there. We're gonna make Dad a man, alright?

Yes! Here's a beer. Eat it up.

Yoshio. What's going to happen? A war, of course.

A war, you mean, like killing each other and stuff?

What else is there? What else is there in this world other than who's strong and who's weak?

What are you scared of? You have no choice but to work hard and survive in this world.

Plus, if you leave now, the outside world will never accept you again. Have you got any other place to go?

You don't, right? And you've already gotten tattoos on your back.

I was forced to. What's wrong with that?

Were you gonna spend the rest of your life delivering noodles?

So?

We've convinced the Boss to take a vacation and visit a hot spring.

When we told him a war was about to break out, he packed up quickly.

And, about the location, it's a hot spring in the mountains. And he's got two bodyguards.

I think it's the best opportunity. What is it?

Hold on, please. I'll give it to Chief.

It's Mizushima. I hope you've got everything ready, Mr. Tsuchiya.

...I see. Well, let's just hope this isn't a blunder.

If they miss the target, we'll end up in an ugly war. No need to worry.

I don't wanna waste any more time. Hurry up and tell me where the target is.

Hakone? Ha... ko... ne.

Welcome. Hey, come on.

It's true. Brother... We found out where our target is.

Got it.

Boss and the guys went to take out the king, right? Hm.

I wonder if it's gonna be an all-out war?

How did they know when and where to go?

Alright! Alright!

He really likes young women, doesn't he? Nothing we can do about it.

Hey! Damn it!

Bastards!

Hey! You bastards! Stop beating up on the weak or you'll be next! Damn it, it's Yoichi.

It's Yoichi Higuchi. Let's get out of here.

How do I look? It looks good on me, doesn't it? The only thing fit to live in this dirt-patch town is a mole.

I'm not a mole. What are you doing in Tokyo, Yo-chan?

I'm going to be a respectable yakuza. I'll be a yakuza, have many men under me...

...and become a respectable boss. A boss? Promise me you'll make me one of your men.

Promise. Of course, I will.

You'll have to let me go now.

Wait for me.

Promise you'll let me work for you!

Koyasu. Yes.

Do you think Matsui is all that great? Huh?

Stop it!

Hey. Have a seat.

You've done it, Kunihiko. Boss is happy about it.

He was so nervous he was out walking the streets all night...

...while you were pulling the job. Is that how much trust we have?

Stupid. It was hard for him to send you there.

Is that right? And how have things turned out since then?

Headquarters have ordered us for emergency stand by. Big men in the supervision department are trying to decide what to do now.

Like what the best follow up would be, you know. Well... I presume there's been talks about who the next big boss would be.

Don't know. If there's another target to hit, we'll go after it.

You've worked so hard already. Plus, there's been no retaliation from the Shiranes.

There will be retaliation. They've lost their boss, too.

Don't worry about it, Kunihiko. The Shiranes have their own way of doing things, I suppose.

It won't be too late for action if we wait and see which way they're gonna go. Alright?

There's 300 in there. Have a good rest.

I'll go now. Keep in close touch, okay?

How much is it, sister? Good day, Chief.

We've cleared the first hurdle. Mr. Tsuchiya.

What's happening with the position for the next head of the Yokomizos? I'd say it's a matter of time.

Mizushima has been appointed as the second boss by the executives' unanimous recommendation. There'll be an official ceremony as soon as our truce pact is signed.

Our chief, too, has gotten an unofficial agreement by the supervision department. He's guaranteed to become the second generation boss of our family.

No. There's one obstacle to that.

So, the ride won't always be so smooth for me. It's Higuchi, isn't it?

The one who shot Shirane? He picks up on things.

We need to make our moves carefully. If he finds out, he finds out.

We've got a secret weapon we hired to get rid of your boss.

If we ever need him. Well, let's get done with the mediation as soon as we can...

...and exchange cups of brotherhood. Right, Mr. Tsuchiya?

Tensei Family awaits you.

May I help you?

Is Mr. Higuchi here? Sorry, he's out right now.

I see, you're house sitting, Mr. Torii.

So, where's the boss? He's been stuck at the headquarters lately.

Well, it's about the raid on the Shirane headquarters and the killing of Boss Shirane.

You Higuchis are responsible for those, aren't you? Right, Mr. Torii?

I don't know.

In regard to the killing of Big Boss Yokomizo, their young associate has turned himself in.

What do you say? Why don't the Higuchis also turn in the man who actually did it?

Like I said, we have no knowledge of such action on our end.

We can't seem to find the Kenzaki Group anywhere. We could get an official warrant and chase them, you know.

We're in a war here. It's natural for us to go underground.

No one wants to be shot and die, you know.

It's different with the Higuchis. The special unit of the Higuchis are known for their headstrong attitude, I hear.

Komine! Yes. It's something Special Unit... What do you call them... Yeah, Kenzaki Special Unit, is it?

A Special Unit, I see. Rumor has it the war is about to end.

So, how come there's no trace of Kenzaki anywhere? Isn't that strange? We haven't heard any rumor like that.

Your boys might know about that, right? It says here Mr. Kenzaki is standing by.

Alone somewhere, polishing up his cannon. Well, send my best regards to your boss.

Tell him that if he's willing to cooperate... ...we're prepared to meet with special consideration.

Komine, let's go.

Yokoyama, pour me some tea. Yes.

So, Mizushima... What's the reaction within the family?

A few executives want to take drastic measures, but I'm planning to, somehow... ...hold them down and make them accept a mediated truce.

Chief is virtually the second generation head of the family. No one in the family is gonna openly disagree with his decisions.

That's good. The next thing to do... ...is discuss with Tsuchiya of the Yokomizos...

...and set things up for the truce as soon as possible. Right, Mizushima?

Quit with that attitude! I can't deal with that. You and the supervision department go ahead and do whatever you want. What don't you like about it?

Get your hands off of me. Mr. Kaito is being kind enough to mediate for us. What about Kaito?

Something's been fishy about this war from the very beginning... On top of everything...

...once the truce is agreed upon, Tsuchiya and Mizushima are gonna put on... ...a show as the second generation bosses exchanging cups of brotherhood.

What is really behind the curtain? All's out of kindness of the head of the Tensei Group!

Thanks to them, there'll be peace between Yokomizos and Shiranes. What's wrong with that?

Why don't you get a fuckin' cup from Tensei, too? You'll all be brothers together and...

You guys... What?

So that's what it was! What's what it was?

Get your hands off me. Get your hands off me!

Tell Tsuchiya... ...that the Higuchi Group has cut its ties with the Yokomizos as of today.

So, the Higuchis won't have any relationship with the second generation family of Yokomizo.

Does that mean we'll go independent, just like the old days? We're a family of about 100.

We can survive if we unite ourselves. You said they're ganging up, so are they waging a war against us?

Tsuchiya, Mizushima and Kaito? That's what Boss suspects.

There's been too many strange incidents lately. It makes perfect sense if they were all part of a scheme by Kaito of the Tensei Group.

Does that mean those three killed Big Boss Yokomizo? Letting us hit the head of the Shiranes might have been a part of the picture, too.

So, how are we gonna get even with them?

Chief? We'll do nothing.

We'll do what we need to do as the Higuchis.

How's Kuni doing? He should be soaking in a hot spring somewhere, taking it easy.

Make sure he gets everything he wants. Certainly. By the way, the police came over and asked questions, about the killing of Shirane.

Guess we'll have to send someone to serve the sentence. A substitute.

I'll arrange for it.

Captain. Chief contacted us. We're going to leave here.

I see. I'm gonna miss you.

Thank you so much, for everything. Captain, you take care.

You, too.

Why did you come back? The police are after you.

It's not safe for you to be roaming around here. I heard Chief is leaving the clan.

Stories somehow reach my ears, even when I'm soaking in a hot spring.

They're signing a truce... ...mediated by Kaito of the Tensei Group.

Shaking things up at this point won't do any good for us, you see.

Hmm. I knew something was fishy about this war.

Looking back... ...on how we took Shirane's life, it was too easy, too convenient.

You don't think it would be that easy unless someone's pulling the strings behind the scenes? If they weren't, there's no way a truce could be reached in such an incomplete way. Am I wrong?

There's no evidence. Even if there's someone pulling it off.

It's a piece of cake to find something.

But you see, if we did find some information, then what?

We're yakuza, not superheroes. If we play with a bomb and it explodes, we'll suffer more than just heavy injuries.

Making enemies not only out of Yokomizo and Shirane... ...but also out of Tensei, going up against them all is suicide.

We're yakuza, chief.

Are you saying yakuza don't need to calculate? Chief doesn't like what's happening.

That's all that matters... for us children of his.

Am I wrong?

He's not telling us to do something about it, though.

A life is just like a shooting star.

Why can't we shine brightly once and end it?

What do you want? Is Yoichi here? What? Yoichi is here, isn't he?

Who the hell is that? Yoichi, Yoichi!

What? Yoichi?

Yo-chan! Hey, Kuni!

It's been a long time. Are you by yourself? What are you doing here?

I wanna be your follower. I'm gonna be a yakuza.

Yoichi, when you left the village... ...you said you'd make me your family's member when you become the boss.

Right? You did, didn't you?

Yoichi? Yo-chan! Yo-chan!

Anyway... Don't push yourself so hard.

Let's take it easy. Alright? You know what I mean, don't you?

Wow, that's something. So you've met him a few times?

Yes, kind of. Oh, how's Brother Kenzaki doing? He's so full of energy it scares me.

What are you guys up to? Dice. - Let's do it. Yeah. I've been on a winning streak.

Thank you very much!

Alright, shall we go?

Welcome. Hello! Hello!

Bastards didn't fail to show, even when we shot bullets into their headquarters.

The Yokomizos are gonna go through with the truce pact anyway.

Shit, they think they're organizing a kindergarten's play group. What's wrong with yakuza these days?

Shall we open their eyes, then?

We've gone through quite a lot. But with your kind help, we're able to hold the truce agreement ceremony today.

I'd like to ask the two parties... ...that I'd like to hold the ceremony to the tune of the Black Song.

What do you say? Please do the honor.

The cup that the two of you have lightly touched with your lips... ...has been united with the sacred wine.

To commemorate further prosperity of each family and a deeper friendship between the two...

...I've filled up the cups. Please drink it with the spirit in your heart.

Please go ahead.

The ceremony has been successful.

In celebration, I'd like to close it with three-beat claps. Please will you all stand, and join in the closing.

Let them do what they want.

That raid on the family's headquarters, looks like Kunihiko's work.

Have you been able to speak with him yet? He's giving me a hard time.

He's got his phone off, and he hasn't returned my calls.

I can't figure out what the hell he's thinking.

Say it! Say it!

What the hell's wrong with you? Say it, bastard!

I'm not a wimp who'd give in to trash like you!

Kill me! Kill me! Kill me now!

Kill me, bastard!

Shall we continue?

Where were we? So what was the next step?

What did you plan to do after we killed Shinozaki?

Hey, talk now. We sent in that bastard Shinozaki, and things went as we'd planned.

Then we ordered the hit and took Yokomizo's life.

You heard it. If you're coming, both of you should come.

If you don't, we'll hand over Muroi to the Shiranes.

Along with his confession tape. Tell Tsuchiya I mean it.

Bye.

Hey. Why me?

If it's about Muroi, then ask Mizushima!

Muroi has confessed everything to us. About what?

Don't pick a fight over nothing. If you've got something to say, say it.

Yes? Then, let me be frank. I want you to give up the position, let our boss Higuchi take over the family, and you retire.

I see. So you're just a young man who is loyal to his boss?

I believe our boss has the capacity for it.

What if I refuse? We'll take Muroi to the Shiranes, and play the confession tape in front of their executives.

Mizushima sold his own boss. They won't let him get away with that.

I'd say the young yakuza who you hang around could also be in danger, you know.

Give me a little time to think about this.

I can't wait too long. One week.

I'll give you an answer in a week.

Well, I suppose it's okay.

I'll be expecting good news.

Hey, wait! Were you the one who shot up our headquarters?

I see. So, does Higuchi know about all this?

I'm making my own decisions.

We're forcing the road open to a truce. There's always going to be one or two rocks in the way.

But the Higuchis are a bunch of rebels, you never know where they'll pop up next.

They've got Mr. Muroi. We've got the numbers, the system is already in our hands.

What we do next is... ...announce our alliance with Mr. Kaito and impress our power upon everyone involved.

This way we can hush up any noise that might come up in the future, too. Before we do, what are we gonna do about Mr. Muroi?

We'll put him aside for now, first we need to discuss what to do with the Higuchi Gang.

How are we gonna come down on them, Higuchi and his stray bullet?

I think we should kill them secretly. We'll get both Higuchi and, uh, that... - Kenzaki.

Yeah, that rebel, together. It's easy to say we'll do it.

But the Higuchis won't die so easily. It's alright.

We've got Mr. Kaito's secret weapon to rely on.

To kill a snake, you crush its head.

Excuse me.

Mizushima of the Shiranes called. He said Muroi has been captured by the Higuchi rebels.

He was lynched and he confessed everything. So now everything is out in the open?

The plot and all? Well, the Higuchis have been quiet.

It seems this is a solo act by the hot blooded young man Kenzaki who captured Muroi.

That gangster Kenzaki, isn't he something? He thinks he's waging a war on me.

He has no concept. No.

That's a true yakuza. It seems Higuchi's got some fine young men working under him, huh?

So, what shall we do... ...to take care of this?

They don't shoot the pheasant if it stays quiet.
