In Showa 41, the police's "Operation Marineford" dealt a severe blow to the Hiroshima underworld. Takeda Akira (played by Asahi Kobayashi), who had been released on bail, sized up the situation and enlisted his old followers to establish the "Tensei Kai", existing in society as a legitimate political party. Members of the Guangneng Group attempted to assassinate an official of the Tianzhenghui, causing a disagreement within the Tianzhenghui regarding the handling method. Takeda is facing imprisonment again and passes on the position of president to the new generation, Matsumura Yasuhiro (played by Shinya Kitaro). The veteran figures, Otomo Seiichi (played by Inari Kuroda) and Hayakawa Hideo (played by Junji Oda), are not convinced of Takeda's faction's rejection of the yakuza lifestyle. They join forces with Hikaru's brother, Ichioka Teruyoshi (played by Hiroki Matsubo), to seek the ruling power of the Tensei Association. However, Ichioka is assassinated and Otomo's faction is defeated. Tired of the bloodshed and turmoil, Takeda began to have the intention to quit and also persuaded Hiroshi (played by Sugawara) to step down. But how could Hiroshi, who was eager to take revenge on Ichioka, let it go? On the other hand, the Otomo Group took revenge by killing the vice chairman of the Tensei Kai, Shoichi Eda (played by Shingo Yamashiro), and Matsumura was also seriously injured. Seriously injured Matsumura couldn't forget his dream of peacefully unifying Hiroshima...[Collapse]
