1976. A personal dispute results in two dead bodies in Amagasaki, a minor incident which explodes into a full-blown war between the Kawahara gang and the Yonemoto of Osaka. Sensing discord, much larger rival gangs throw their weight into the conflict in an effort to coalesce their own underworld power. When a top boss is killed as an example, his adopted son Shuichi Nozaki (Bunta Sugawara), an ordinary laborer, reluctantly joins the criminal world in order to avenge his benefactors death. Complicating matters are his younger sister Asami and her gangster husband (Chieko Matsubara and Koji Wada), who are affiliated with the gang responsible forthe killing, as well as Nozaki and Asami's own suspicious relationship. Even with his own family as a potential casualty, Nozaki charges forward on his violent quest for vengeance. Fukasaku's final film in the series once again tells an independent tale of the way poisonous underworld elements can infect even the most everyday lives.
