The Osaka war ended in a complete victory for the Kyowakai, finally bringing the city under their control. Yamazaki-gumi’s head, Kawatani (Hitoshi Ozawa), with Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya) and Tamura (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi) at his side, was recognized for his achievements and appointed as the Kyowakai’s main family Wakagashira. As Yamazaki-gumi steadily gained power, Himuro worked to expand the organization further, focusing on internal reform and establishing legitimate business operations. Meanwhile, a minor clash between Tamura’s young members and the Yanagase Rengokai sparked a new conflict, spreading across all of Gifu—another war erupting in the wake of the Osaka battle!

Meanwhile, Hagiwara (Yasukaze Motomiya), a detective from the Prefectural Police's Organized Crime Control Division, makes contact with Shirakawa. The Otomo-gumi has also allied with a security company run by former police officers in a bid to seize control of the area. Now, a three-way clash of interests is on the verge of breaking out…

NR

Misaki is a popular bar hostess whose policy is to 'live on presents'. She is haughty and wants nothing but the most expensive and exclusive. One night, she finds a rabbit and takes it home, setting off the story of an unimaginable tragedy. It is an 'animal panic horror' film with a new edge presenting an allegory of the worst in the modern materialistic world. This is the first full-length feature film for Yuichi Kanemaru, who has worked as assistant director to Kaneto Shindo, Yasuo Furuhata and Takashi Miike. And Tomoko Tabata's dynamic performance in her first horror movie is a definite highlight.
