It's the Okiyama Group again!

KIBAMASA GROUP

Kame, I hear your wife is pregnant again.

If the baby's careless like some people I know,

it would have been born already!

But I guess my baby's smart like me.

Bastard...

I hear you talking bad about me behind my back.

You're pretty careless.

It's all your fault!

Kame, sorry to bother you, but I've got a job for you.

Please deliver a cypress tree from Yokoi to Mukojima.

Well, about what I owe you last month...

Brother, his wife is pregnant.

Sure, that's okay. You can pay me next month.

Hey, Kibamasa!

What's up?

Your guys got beat by the Okiyama Group again.

If you can control one of the territories in Fukagawa...

why can't you train your boys better?

It's so frustrating!

What is it?

Please lower your voice.

We have a sick man inside.

Oh, do you?

Boss, how does it look?

We just got the first bonito of the season.

Seiji brought it just for you.

Is that so?

Seiji, don't worry about me so much.

I hope you enjoy it.

By the way, how are you doing here?

Thank you for asking. I'm doing just fine.

Please take care of yourself.

Thank you.

I'll see you.

Brother, what are you looking for?

Don't worry about it.

Who got hurt?

Lower your voice, fool.

Tsune, can you come here?

Doesn't matter how hard you try to hide it from me...

I know what's going on.

It must be the Okiyama Group.

Tsune cared about your well-being and didn't want you to worry.

I understand.

Ever since Okiyama's brother started a delivery business...

I knew it was coming.

They must be threatening our delivery staff...

to work for their bunch.

Is that right, Tsune?

Yes.

How may members did they take from us so far?

Fifteen employees.

They're bullying the guys who said no to them.

I see.

Our young members must be scared to get close to Kiba's territory.

Oryu, get my kimono.

Boss, I can speak to the Okiyama Group.

If you go, you'll start a fight with them.

Hey, Brother. You called me?

He claims that you're recruiting their staff.

You must be joking.

This is a competitive free market.

Under the law, anybody can open for business.

I'm not talking about the law.

Kiba has been our territory for a very long time.

Kiba people have established ways and old customs.

If you're all members of the group...

you should start honoring your word.

Honor my word?

Brother, have you forgot?

Seiji stole my friend, Takizo's girl.

I know Seiji's still with you.

You're the one who's not honoring your word.

That was five years ago.

I've already talked with Takizo in Kisarazu.

That's rig ht.

Back then, both Kisarazu and I were newcomers.

We just did what you told us.

That was all.

I know you want us to honor our word...

but we really don't know how.

It's sad to see you're getting so old.

What did you say!?

Tora!

Let's go.

Boss...

Thanks, I'm fine.

Boss.

Let's go home.

Boss.

Fukagawa is such a nice place.

It's full of high spirits and human decency.

Five years ago...

The Kibamasa Group held a lot of power.

You can become a man if you win a battle.

That idea's a bad mistake.

A man barely has one true fight in his entire life.

In a real fight, a man has to stake his life.

That's the only chance you have.

Boss.

Chokichi is coming home from Quingdao soon.

When he gets back, we can restart our Kibamasa Group.

Rig ht, Boss?

Boss!

Boss!

Boss!

OKIYAMA TRANSPORTATION CORP.

UEDA SHOP

Master, why did you give the job to the Okiyama Group?

It was an order from the military.

They're very keen when it comes to prompt delivery.

Your delivery is always a couple days late.

We're short-handed.

We'll get it right, so please call us next time.

Of course, I have a strong bond with your late boss.

But Okiyama's price is 30 percent lower than yours.

Thirty percent less than ours?

That's ridiculous!

We've been following rules set by the warehouse owners.

I really hate Okiyama!

As soon as our boss died, he built his office near ours.

Brother, you act like a loser.

Why did you give up and come home like this?

You know I'm angry, too.

But Kibamasa's 49th day anniversary hasn't passed.

If we start a fight, it'll upset his wife.

They started the fight, not us.

We have to fight back, right?

I can't stand seeing her calm and patient.

I can fight them by myself.

Tsuru, what do you think?

I know how you feel but...

I'm still on probation from the fight two years back.

You're saying that you're scared of the police.

That's not true.

Then what is it?

The police chief and Okiyama are good friends.

They might start cooking things up...

just to get us thrown in jail.

I see.

So what? I'll do it anyway.

Good morning.

What did the Boss in Kinshicho say?

Seiji and I asked him...

but he said he had no reason to mediate this fight.

That sounds about right.

They're trying to protect themselves from Okiyama.

They've used our boss' name so many times.

But some of them didn't even show up at his funeral.

Seiji...

You've lived all your life as a true yakuza member.

What would you do in this situation?

I'm only a drifter whose life was saved by the late boss.

I have no right to make this kind of decision.

Seiji, we're in a bind.

Please give us your honest opinion.

I think we should protect our establishment.

Then, what would you do?

I don't know.

You should ask Oryu.

Please listen to me.

Chokichi will return in a few weeks.

I had been talking about this with the Boss as well.

When he gets back, I'll ask him to lead our group.

Chokichi will lead our group?

You don't like the idea?

Of course we do.

Good.

Please don't do anything crazy until then. Understood?

I know.

Do you understand?

Yes, ma'am.

CAFE AKEBONO

Tsune, even as a union president...

I don't have that much power.

You're losing your staff, right?

Yes.

The Okiyama Group will take over the Kiba region soon.

What will you do?

We haven't come up with a good idea yet.

Please wait a little while longer.

IROHA HOUSE WESTERN CRUISE

Tsune has a degree from a business school.

He's educated, not like me.

But I think I'm right this time.

Do you agree?

I have no idea.

You're the one who will be Chokichi's wife.

Tora, don't say anything that's so rash.
