Plot Loan shark Shun Akiyama drops in to visit Kanemura, an aging yakuza patriarch, and learns that two members of the Ueno Seiwa Clan, an organization that is technically part of the Tojo Clan but is considered to be inferior, are causing a disturbance at a nearby club. Hoping to prevent an incident, Akiyama beats up the two men just as Arai and his friend Kido show. One of the men, Ihara, then shoots Arai and flees.

Akiyama returns to his office to find Arai next to Ihara’s dead body, having just shot him. Arai flees, and Akiyama is arrested for the murder. His secretary Hana gets him released, but the arresting officer, Sugiuchi, warns Akiyama to stay clear of any further involvement with the yakuza. Akiyama later reveals to Kido that he was once homeless after being framed and fired for embezzlement, until he found money from the Millennium Tower explosion and used it to start his firm. Kido informs Akiyama that Kanemura was murdered, apparently by a woman, and Akiyama sends him to find Arai.
