Fumio Yamadai (Hakuryu), the third-generation boss of the Tanba-gumi, has built the organization into the largest and most powerful in Japan. Sagara (Kazuyoshi Ozawa) of the Natsume-ikka—a family under the Tanba-gumi umbrella—expands his influence by leveraging the authority of Gono (Shiro), a Tanba-gumi senior lieutenant and boss of the Gono-gumi. This leads to a conflict with Kanamori, another senior lieutenant of the Tanba-gumi. Eventually, Gono’s power grows to the point where he threatens the Tanba-gumi itself, sparking friction with the organization's underboss, Ushikubo (Hitoshi Ozawa). This situation escalates into the most significant expulsion incident in the history of the yakuza underworld. Chapter Two of the saga—starring Hitoshi Ozawa and Hakuryu—depicts a conflict that shook the very foundations of the Japanese yakuza.
