That fuckin' hurt, asshole!

SEVEN YEARS AGO END OF THE SHOWA ERA

SONE Hideki I'll be a man.

SONE Hideki

SONE Hideki Don't know how many of them there are...

SHIMIZU Kojiro ...but I'll take care of it.

SHIMIZU Kojiro

Let's run away together.

AMIHAMA Naoko Let's run away together.

AMIHAMA Naoko

AMIHAMA Naoko Go somewhere far away.

Go somewhere far away.

I won't die.

Once I get out of jail, I'll be a made man.

Hey, it's your shift now.

Tetsuya, what are you doing?

I won't be able to do this for a while, y'know.

The Boss'll toast me and I'll be big!

OMORI Yoshiyuki

Special appearance by KITAJIMA Saburo

Ojiki, thanks for coming all this way.

No big deal.

...you can't just ignore what the war brought in.

Thirty of my boys are coming.

Thirty of them?

Yeah, they were joking about renting a bus.

Ojiki, I think it's good to have that kind of attitude during a war.

Donations please.

Donations please.

I don't know what I'm donating to.

Thank you.

Donations please.

Ojiki!

Hands off!

He did it...

He did it!

Ojiki!

Don't let him get away!

Stop it!

Stand up! What are you doing?

October of the 63rd Year of Showa Kurashiki Tetsuya arrested

Here you go.

I don't think it's enough for you but have something to eat.

Anyway, a 17 year old assassin...

You should have made some better choices in life.

Did the Shiramatsu Family treat you that good?

Your mother must be turning in her grave.

AMBITION WITHOUT HONOR Jingi Naki Yabou

SEVEN YEARS LATER

Tetsuya?

Yeah, it's you!

Kayo...

You've grown into a man.

I had no idea that you'd been working for a delivery service.

It's been 7 years.

I have do something to support myself.

I caused you such misery.

Come in.

Here you go.

It's so messy here.

I was never good at packing.

Help me out.

I told you that we were moving.

Moving to a new city, and buying our own apartment.

Did you say you'll buy an apartment?

20 million yen?

I've been saving up, that's how!

Time to get dressed!

If they don't fit, I'll return them and get the right size.

Do you have anything stylish and chic?

- Chic? - Yeah.

First of all, I have to go see the Shiramatsu Family boss.

Maybe they'll be having a party for me tonight.

There'll be none of that.

What are you saying?

I said, there'll be none of that!

What are you getting so angry for?

Please, don't get involved with the Yakuza.

Kayo...

Didn't you see there was no one there for you today?

That's the kind of people these Yakuza are.

There might have been something going on.

I don't care about that anyway.

SHIRAMATSU

You heard me.

You kidding me?

Who the hell are you?

Speak up, punk!

Kashira, it's this punk.

Tetsuya...

I appreciate your work. Accept this gift from us.

The economy's in a recession and so are we.

It's different now from how it was when you were locked up.

Take that just for now.

Thank you.

Seven years...

Yes.

Right after the incident we settled with Tamazawa.

Since we initiated the peace, we shouldered the burden.

No, sir.

The new one's pretty passive...

And only because of that...

...we managed to keep the peace without violating the Botaiho.

Botaiho?

It's a new law to crack down on yakuza activities.

It can be a good way to learn some kanji.

Is that a relative of the Bible?

More like a friend.

So, what're you going to do now?

You might have to find a job for yourself first.

I'll help you as much as I can, so ask me if you need any help.

I don't have any intention to take any other job!

You're too deeply involved with the Tamazawa.

The boss isn't here today.

Stop by again sometime, when you're in the area.

Does it hurt?

Does it hurt?

Kintaro is the man.

This is too good for you.

Thank you for tattooing me.

Boss, Kurashina Tetsuya has been released.

- Kurashina? - Yeah.

He offed Kanezaki for us 7 years ago.

I see, that bouncy young lad who killed that old bastard.

He seems to think you'll let him join us.

Idiot!

We've already been through enough with this situation with Tamazawa.

The purest heart.

She raised you by herself and died poor.

It's better that she died...

...before seeing her son going into the yakuza business.

Monk...

Why did you bury her on your own even though you're my guardian?

Maintaining temples is business too!

If we're paid, we'll make graves for cats and dogs, too!

Don't mention my mother together with cats and dogs!

Shut up, you moron!

You're lower than cats and dogs!

Using your mother's death to do whatever you want!

Can't you even hear her weeping?

The man who bought this grave asked me about you.

He didn't mention his name...

...but he might be your father.

My father?

True, he has even led a double life.

Enough bullshit!

I don't have a father!

My mother told me he died before I was born!

My only father now is the Boss of the Shiramatsu Family!

I'll buy her a grave.

If you continue working on her grave, I'll kill you!

TAMAZAWA ENTERPRISE

Moriya, are you trying to order me around?

What are you saying, bro?

We can't be so sure if Shiramatsu will stick to the treaty any longer.

Sir...

Were you surprised by me calling you out here?

I just wanted to have a drink with you.

My treat.

Wouldn't it be a problem for a cop...

I don't care. I'm retiring soon.

Finally, no more promotions for you.

That may be true.

Your son was released today.

What will you do now?

Continue to live as a yakuza?

It's your woman that gave birth to him.

God works in mysterious ways.

She had a very strong personality.

I remember when I broke into your apartment, she stuck a knife in me.

I asked her to get an abortion.

After you were thrown in jail, you lost contact with her, right?

Once, she came to see me in jail...

...and told me that she'd aborted the baby.

It was snowing that day...

Did you tell Tetsuya about me?

In an interrogation...

...all he talked about was his dead mother...

...as if that was the only thing he was proud of.

That's what makes us human, isn't it?

Does your scar ache?

You idiot!

How many times do I have to tell you this?

When the showgirl spreads her legs, shine the spotlight on her!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

Stupid retard.

Die, useless fuck.

I'm sorry.

So, this is where you ended up.

Tetsuya...

You're out?

- Tetsuya! - You haven't changed a bit, Shokichi!

You still have big balls!

Why don't you quit this shitty job?

Lighting up a chick's twat is no way to make a living!

Let's go!

Bye bye, pussy-lighting!

Seven years is a long time.

How are the other guys, Akio and Shinsuke, doing?

Nothing special. I'll call 'em up right away!

Shokichi, you haven't changed.

Drink more! Shizuka, you too. Drink!

Hey, play some Ozaki for me. Something new!

Something new from Ozaki? Well, Tetsuya...

What was that for?

Idiot!

What? Something wrong with him?

Ozaki's died a drunk.

It was a few years ago.

You know that Matsuda Yusaku died, right?

Speaking of death, Misora Hibari's dead, too.

What does it matter if I know they're dead or not?

This is it. This is it.

I thought I lost this somehow!

Mine too. It disappeared a while ago.

With Tetsuya as our leader, we'd always ride out fast.

We were completely broke, but life was fun back then.

We're still not rich.

Nope. Got no money and no dreams.

Enough of being poor.

Sorry.

This is Tetsuya's release party.

Koemi! Don't you have a cool story to tell us?

Cool story?

Oh, my customer yesterday!

He was taking forever in the shower, so I turned the clock forward a bit.

He didn't notice and paid extra!

That's not good?

I don't know, then.

Yeah, I get a lot of compliments on them.

Stop! Don't!

If you want to touch them, pay up!

Kayo?

Kayo?

"You're an... idiot"?

I'd like to join the game.

Tetsuya, I told you yesterday.

The Tamazawa and our family are trying to work things out now.

See, your coming and going sort of gets in the way.

Then what do you want to me to do?

I'll pick the right time and talk to the Boss about you.

So till then, just be patient.

I've already made a deal with the Boss.

After I'm released from jail, I'm supposed to be a made man.

...and told me if I was a yakuza, I would head upwards.

It might be impudent for me to say this...

Anyway, let me play the game today.

Welcome. Here you go.

Are you okay with this?

Let him play.

That kid, so cocky.

Leave him.

Look at Ojiki. He has such a deft hand.

Boss...

Moniwa?

Mr. Moniwa, long time no see.

We've acquired a very skillful man in our family.

I'II prepare some sake for us...

He was released from jail yesterday.

Who was?

Today's not good. We'll come back later.

What are you doing?

Just leave for today with this, okay?

Why can't I gamble here?

Sorry to interfere with your pleasure.

There is a little situation going on, so please.

Let me go!

I don't know what's going on.

Respect that.

Get your hands off me!

Hey, kid!

Don't try to act bigger than you are.

You may end up losing your life.

Understand that?

Do you understand? Answer!

Cut it out!

Get up!

Hey, you're back.

I'm hungry.

Rolled-cabbage, gratins, and pork kakuni.

How can I eat stuff like that? That's no dinner!

It is dinner.

It took a lot of effort for me so we could have dinner together...

You're so selfish.

The first night together in seven years was such a mess.

Yesterday, you didn't even come home.

I'm sorry.

I'm confused with the Family's attitude.

I'm going to bed.

That's why I told you not to be a fuckin' yakuza!

What do you want me to be?

Truck driver?

Or a sales person?

You must be joking.

Tamazawa, you're right.

There was in fact a punk who strayed into my gamble den...

...but we kicked him out, determined to keep our part of the treaty.

That punk you're talking about is the man who murdered our Boss.

So, as the new Boss of our Family...

It's either the waste processing plant or the hydrogen ship research.

Why do we have to give up an important business...

...because of some stray punk?

Kashira!

Kashira!

Tetsuya, do you still not get what I've been telling you?

I don't understand. Let me just see the Boss.

You can't just show up whenever you want.

Let me see the Boss! Kashira!

Kashira!

You stupid bitch, get out of the fuckin' car!

- Don't! - Shut up!

Stop the car! Let me out!

Shut up!

I've had enough! Let me out!

What is wrong with you?

Stop the car! Don't do this!

Stop it!

Let me see the Boss!

Understood.

What's up?

That kid was hit by Ishibashi's car and brought to the hospital.

Mr. Shiramatsu is really cherishing this treaty.

Only broken bones.

No. No word.

Thank you.

Troublesome kid...

Get your hands off me!

Get off!

I swear on my life, I'll kill him!

That cocksucker took advantage of me!

I'll kill him! I'll fuckin' kill him!

With your injuries you can bearly walk.

In the seven years I've waited for you...

I've learned that there are things in the world you simply can't change.

I've learned that everybody puts up with something.

Store owner, business man, child or wife.

Everybody puts up with something.

You should learn that too, Tetsuya.

Why?

Tetsuya hasn't done anything wrong.

I can't accept this.

Exactly.

I'm always ridiculed by the owner of the pub I work at...

...but, Tetsuya, I want you to live your way of life.

Tetsuya, you'll always be our Boss.

If you're gonna do something big, I'm on board.

- Me too! - Emi!

Riding out and having the cops chase you...

...is the biggest thrill ever.

Way better than any drug.

It's not only for Tetsuya, but for all of us.

Right, Tetsuya?

Me, too!

ONE MONTH LATER

Ayumi, is tonight okay?

Of course.

All right!

Everyone, tonight, it's on me. Help yourself!

You're finally gonna get tattooed, right?

It's too early for a Kanashishi, so it'll be a Komainu.

I see.

Thanks for ordering.

Excuse me.

Thanks.

Did someone order take-out?

Well, it's okay. Let's eat!

What's this all about?

Payback for fucking me over.

Mr. Kitayama, those kids are wrecking the place...

...and calling out the Shiramatsu Family!

Do you know who you're doing this to?

Mr. Asakura, who are these guys?

Help me!

Shut your mouth!

Don't you dare enjoy this cruise, asshole!

Help me!

Boss...

Would you mind if I killed those little pricks?

I can't let them get away with this.

Hey, brother.

I think it's all about your promise to him.

If you had given him what you promised...

...none of this would have happened.

I mean, I understand this is a delicate situation with Tamazawa...

...but I just think it's better to take care your own before others.

That's just my opinion.

Don't be a smart-ass, brother.

What Family have you been a member of this past 40 years?

If you don't like this Family, you're free to leave, y'know.

That's not what I meant...

As long as you keep the gamble den going...

...you have a very good life.

Ishibashi, do what you want with those punks...

...but don't let Tamazawa interfere with this matter.

I apologize for calling you all of a sudden.

No need.

You can call me anytime.

I've lost my confidence in keeping my promise to lead Tetsuya...

...out of the yakuza world.

He seems to be on a rampage.

He hasn't come home lately.

Plus he won't even tell me where he goes.

I want Tetsuya to live a straight life as much as you, Mr. Shibayama...

But...

I think if this is the lifestyle he wants, I'll be okay with it.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry.

I wasn't thinking of you. And I made you suffer.

No.

I've burdened you with so much.

Come on! Hurry!

- Tetsuya, they're coming! - I'm gonna pee in my pants!

Idiot! What do you think you're doing?

You had too much fun, scumbag!

They're wrecking my tavern.

I've paid you a lot of protection money.

Do something! Please!

That's it! No more!

Mr. Shibayama.

Having some fun in our territory, huh?

You caught me totally off guard.

But take a look at this guy's face.

It's Kurashina. Kurashina Tetsuya.

The kid from the incident seven years ago.

What's with that attitude towards me?

What was that for?

Hasekura, you have some nerve.

Did you just say that with the Shiramatsu name behind you?

This has nothing to do with names.

I'm just saying this is Kurashina Tetsuya.

So, you're okay with me interpreting what you just said on my own.

I understand that this kid has nothing to do with the Shiramatsu.

But you doing this proves that he does.

No!

You completely misunderstood.

Our Boss didn't intend any of this!

And I'm not a man who dares to stand against you and your Family.

Hey, right guys?

Please, don't rush to any decisions.

Then what is that boy who has nothing to do with you...

...still doing here?

Well, that's what I'm saying. This kid...

Enough!

Hey, call the headquarters and get some men.

Wait! Wait!

I got it.

I understand.

I apologize for the trouble we caused in your territory.

Go buy yourselves some drinks.

You...

Who are you?

I don't.

I see.

What are you going to do to me?

Kick you out of town.

For you...

Being a yakuza nowadays is too much of a burden.

Go far away from here and settle down somewhere with your girl.

Go.

You...

Can you walk?

Then go now!

Just shut up and take it.

Keep it. Please.

What's your name?

C'mon, I'm only asking for your name.

Shibayama Katsuji.

What's up? Did something happen?

I know.

You feel like you want to wander off to somewhere.

My brother said to me today...

"What family have you been a member of for the last 40 years?"

Shiramatsu could say such cold things.

I'd always thought that this profession was the only one...

...where I could be upfront to myself.

It might be time for you to step out of that world.

How about leaving it without second thought, like I did?

Hey.

Why don't you just apologize and end all this?

If you want, I can mediate for you.

If I apologize, will he still make me a yakuza?

After all you've done, do you still want that?

I do.

...there's nobody other than Mr. Shiramatsu I can call father.

...I never knew the face of my father.

My mother worked so hard with her insurance sales job...

...but still we were really poor.

When I was caught by the police for extortion...

...she cried and apologized to me, saying it was all her fault.

And yet that was all she could give.

Mr. Shiramatsu was the first person I ever thought of as my father.

What would you do?

What do you mean by that?

What if the fact you couldn't go see him wasn't because of Ishibashi...

...but because of Shiramatsu himself.

A yakuza's life is poisonous.

Only those who survive the poison would be able to continue down that road.

Keep it up.

Can't you see I'm busy?

This tattoo's a huge job.

And what?

Tetsuya?

He still wants to become a yakuza?

So it seems.

Tetusya!

It's really Tetusya!

It's been seven years, hasn't it?

For your seven years of work, I truly appreciate it.

Sit.

What are you doing? Sit.

Yes.

This is the simplified version.

There are still some guys who don't like you...

So, we'll have the complete ceremony when everything cools down, okay?

Until the day we actually hold the ceremony...

...this toast will be our secret.

Understood?

This is my decision, brother.

I've thought it through and made up my mind.

I can't break a promise I made to Tetsuya.

Boss...

Tetsuya...

Are you sure you want to be a member?

Good.

Here you go.

This place hasn't changed at all.

Shinsuke, are you still living here?

Forget about that, Tetsuya. What did they say about us?

The Boss totally praised us.

They said we do a great job!

Does that mean we won?

Pretty much a triumph.

Yeah!

After a difficult start, it was pretty easy in the end.

Oh, its already over?

No, this is the start.

Since Tetsuya's in the Family, we can start fights or whatever.

All right!

Isn't it time?

We even got rings!

You can't avoid this any longer...

Can you?

Try this on.

No.

Am I a yakuza's wife now?

This is Tetsuya.

Boss?

Don't be shy, eat!

Eat up!

Yes. Thankyou.

But for you, I thought this would be better.

How is it? Do you like it?

Wow, this is amazingly good!

Never had a meal this good before!

Tetsuya...

Do you like me?

Of course.

Good. I like you very much too.

Now, Tetsuya, be a good man.

Go ahead and eat.

I need you to do something for me.

I want you to take down Tamazawa.

What's wrong?

Don't want to do it?

So, you only have to worry about killing Tamazawa.

Tamazawa!

Guard the Boss, there might be another one.

Tetsuya, run...

Run away!

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Idiot!

You guys wait here.

But, Boss...

Don't worry. Hasekura, come with me.

Why didn't you do it there?

I told you to kill Tetsuya no matter if he finished the mission or not!

But Kuruwa was guarding him...

Anyway, kill that kid before Tamazawa finds out he's a member of our Family.

If he talks, everything's over.

What should I do with Tetsuya's buddies?

They know about this too.

Yeah, that's right.

I forgot about Tetusya's little shits.

Oh, watch out.

I'm sorry.

Shiramatsu, I'm here to kill you.

Why? What have I done?

It's right here in your head, isn't it?

You saying some unknown kid did that on his own again?

I don't know what you're talking about!

Hasekura, did something happen?

I have no idea what they're talking about!

Shut up!

You also said the same thing seven years ago.

You know what I think?

It's a little more than a coincidence.

Coincidence or not, just put away these guns!

I can't talk with guns pointed at me like that!

I not here to talk.

I'm here to make sure you die.

Come on now, Moniwa.

I'll hand over the rights of the research project and waste products.

I'll do whatever you want, so please excuse me.

What are you going to do with that punk?

I still don't know what this is all about...

...but I'll investigate and take care of it.

Tamazawa will be happy.

Okay?

Tetsuya?

Don't yell.

Tell me it's not true.

Tell me that you didn't shoot Mr. Shibayama.

How do you know him?

He's...

He wanted you to live a righteous life...

Idiot!

He's your real father!

I know.

You knew?

I see.

He was behind me and persuading you to stick around.

He bought the grave for my mother, didn't he?

The money in your bank account is also from him.

Did...

Did you sleep with him?

I wish you did sleep with him.

Otherwise I...

I'm...

Stupid.

It's okay.

He'II forgive you.

So I know he doesn't resent you.

Come on, Tetsuya.

You're a full yakuza now.

You're living that life. Be tough!

Kayo! Kayo!

I... won't make it.

Hurry, run.

Don't say that.

Please! Run away. Do it for me!

Kitayama! Why are you doing this?

The Boss said he doesn't need you any more.

Kayo...

Kayo!

It would have been great...

Kayo...

We gotta get to the guys.

Shinsuke!

Hey! Shinsuke!

Akio...

Akio! Hey! Akio!

Emi...

Emi!

Shoichi...

Shoichi! Shoichi...

Shoichi, who did this?

Who did this?

I don't know why...

...wanting to know where you were.

I don't know anything else.

I'm sorry.

Because of my stupid dream...

...everyone's...

Shoichi!

But, it was fun.

When I'm with you, life is much more fun.

I'm glad you're okay.

Give 'em hell, Tetsuya.

Shoichi... Shoichi!

I'll call an ambulance... Ambulance...

Need a phone! Phone!

I'm sorry for being late for your ceremony.

There is nothing you can do if it's your relative's funeral.

Anyway, how's the boat? Isn't it cool?

Sure you want to give that to me?

Of course.

If it proves my sincerity, it's absolutely worth it.

Mr. Shiramatsu, you have many fine businesses.

No...

All business is going through a recession.

There's no way you can win.

Do you think you will make the souls of your friends happy with revenge?

Tetsuya...

You...

You don't have to do this.

You're still young.

Ultimately, you and I have different lifestyles.

!

I'll live my own way.

I didn't realize...

Don't be stupid.

Being shot is very painful.

Guard the Boss!

What the hell are you doing?

You...

Stop!

Did you just call me "brother"?

Shiramatsu...

I will show you the end of a man's life!

What did you say?

Tetsuya!

Step aside...

Get out of the way!

He...

He's the devil!

Tetsuya...

I won't let you take the Boss's life.

Shiramatsu!

A FEW WEEKS LATER

Hey, why don't you put your back into it!

Got it.

You don't want to be like one of those idiots.

Be nicer to me.

I just came out of the hospital.

Shut your mouth!

Let's wait a moment.

I heard you allowed Tetsuya's friends to be buried in that grave.

Yeah.

The monk suggested to me if he stayed alone...

...he wouldn't live righteously in the next world either.

I know that wandering gambler is also with them.

Yeah.

Then, I'll also be there to spice it up a bit.
