Shinjuku has descended into chaos. Former Hanayuki family members Ryushin Takeda (Mikio Osawa) and Daisuke Tsurumi (Junichi Kawamoto) murdered their own boss and wakagashira, then began recklessly invading other territories.

At the same time, Chifumi Iwaguma (Hidekazu Akai), head of the Iwaguma group under Japan’s largest syndicate, the Udagawa-gumi, visits Hozumi and proposes a brotherhood pact.
