In 2005, Kazama meets with Chairman Goda of the Omi Alliance in an effort to prevent a war with the Tojo Clan. The unresolved conflict between Kiryu and Nishiki from ten years ago resurfaces, once again driving a wedge between them. In 1995, Kiryu, who had been on a winning streak in underground fighting to fund Miho's surgery, finally reaches the pinnacle with a high-stakes title fight.
This crime action drama plunges into the dark underworld of the yakuza. The universal theme of 'parents and children' is explored not only through blood relationships but also through ties between Yakuza bosses and their underlings, orphans and their caretakers, and mentors and students - at times marked by deep affection, at other times by intense conflict - all intricately intertwined.
