I was just kidding!

Go find yourself a whore!

And don't be stupid.

We're just business partners.

What do you want?

- Unpatriotic bastard! - Me? Well, you're a beggar!

Do you want me to cut you up and bleed you to death?

I've fought in His Majesty's Army.

I risked my life in the Pacific.

And now you're nothing but a mama's boy.

What are you doing here?

We veterans must stick together.

America is kissing up to us and Russia taunts our fishermen.

It's a national crisis!

What a freak!

- What do you want? - Get out of here!

Spreading idiocy around... Hanako, don't listen to him.

Nice underground operation for a girl.

Sir, this blood is for the cosmetics industry.

The blood banks are old business.

Do you want to work with us?

What's this old man doing with us?

- How about a bigger cut? - You wanted more?

- Of course. - If it's not enough, you can leave.

Or should I tell Shin the truth?

How about it?

Sir, do you want to be a part of my business?

- Is it profitable? - If you work hard.

What a bitch!

Let's go find a sucker.

Takeshi, these guys are looking for trouble.

A couple of troublemakers.

- Where are you going? - What do you care?

So you're a tough guy? Then lend me some money!

Isn't that nice? Why don't you lend us some money?

Cops!

Two guys from Fuse.

I brought them here.

You're an imbecile!

I told you no outsiders!

They want to join our gang.

If you're just curious, you're in for trouble.

I've been around. Feed us and we'll work.

Right, Takeshi?

Rotten brats!

Put your bags away. Ryu, show them the way.

Slut!

We can't afford another abortion.

We're in business to make money!

Masa!

Tatsu and Takeshi are the new arrivals.

Masa is the vice president.

Let's go!

Try to bear it. It won't be long.

Get out of here!

What do you want?

I'm out of here.

During the day, you buy blood. At night, you sell flesh.

You're a busy girl!

Where are you from?

The Shinei-Kai gang.

Where is the gang's hideout?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

It's true! I just joined.

- Don't you recognize me? - I'm afraid not.

You don't recognize me?

You must be new around here.

Big Shot, how's business?

There's a bunch of imbeciles on my turf.

I hear you get it on with them.

Nonsense.

Sick bastard.

So... how do you know Ohama?

He's the local boss and he's a tough one.

Shinei-Kai is rising up in the ranks too.

Right, by causing riots!

Our boss beats us if we don't make enough.

It's hard for a new gang to earn notoriety.

Do you want to meet Ohama?

Are you serious?

If I get the chance.

Those guys are in Ohama's gang.

Where's Tatsu?

Standing watch over the girls.

Can't have them running off. You're next.

Hey guys! Working hard?

Are you new?

Yeah, my name's Takeshi.

Nice to meet you.

You're scrawny!

Can you keep up with Shinei-Kai?

- I'm getting bigger! - You're optimistic.

Who are you anyway?

Mind your own business.

Alright, I'm going for a walk.

Stupid slut! I'd like to beat her up.

I know she's screwing Ohama.

Ryu, things are getting dangerous. We're leaving tomorrow.

- Are we leaving? - Wait.

Yasu!

Where were you when Takeshi was getting beat up?

Nowhere.

Tell me.

I was out drinking with Hanako.

- What's going on between you two? - Nothing.

- Absolutely nothing. - You don't want to talk?

I know that you and Ponta made a deal with that whore.

I'm sorry.

I once sold blood to her for some spending money.

And?

Hanako's gang bought it.

Then we helped them with a job.

Nice loot!

Let me have a look.

I'm not selling you anything.

He's eating my rice again!

And he won't work... Slacker!

We're not supporting you forever.

Let's kick him out!

What is that?

An old Army grenade. It could blow you up.

Why do you carry it around?

Don't you have a brain?

You collect garbage all day while Yosematsu keeps the good stuff.

Can't you see he takes advantage of you?

But we saved money.

We have a savings.

I make in one day what you make in 10.

Yari, Keima...

Things seem to be going well today.

Get moving.

Are you the new one?

You're living here now?

Get out and start working if you want to stay here.

I pay rent. I don't take orders from a former bum.

Go to hell! I'm going to keep collecting blood!

Then go! Starve to death if you want.

But don't come back here begging.

Slackers. They're all a bunch of slackers.

There's no hope for Japan nowadays.

It's sick!

You pig!

My own father!

It was cold, so I was covering you.

I can't even sleep around here!

If you're so hungry for a woman,

go make a pass at Batasuke's wife.

He's a good for nothing alcoholic and doesn't sleep with her anymore.

Come home drunk again and I'll lock you out!

LET'S GIVE LOVE AND A FUTURE TO OUR YOUTH

Can't you steal anything better than this useless crap?

So... who beat you up?

It's your fault. The boss found out about our deal.

How did that happen? Did you blab?

Idiot!

This could be the end for me.

I've always kept it secret from Ohama and Shinei-Kai.

Where is the gang?

Why, are you thinking about doing business with Shin?

It's either that or nothing.

Don't tell him what I told you.

Tell me where he is.

Look at all those hormones!

Are you a chef now? Nothing wrong with that.

Prick! You ruined my reputation!

You should know you can't back out once you're in.

Come on!

You idiot!

You couldn't take the heat after all, could you?

Wait.

Go back now. They'll make you pay for the loss.

Come here.

I have to see Shin no matter what. I can talk on your behalf.

Come with me.

- No. - Idiot!

Running away will only get you into trouble.

Take me to Shin.

I'll take care of everything.

Hey, Agitator...

Even the blind know I help Yari and Keima make a living.

You study market prices in the paper and cheat them of earnings.

Exploited like geishas!

Boss, is it true? Do you pocket half our earnings?

That's too much. I quit working for Yosematsu!

Hanako, you got me into a real fix, you idiot.

Do you think you can just walk away?

Soon you'll be begging to come back.

What's he talking about?
