"SHOWA ZANKYODEN" "Born in Enko, raised in Asakusa" "They say I'm a mere Yakuza" "You can't be scared of the knives and survive the world" "The manhood relies solely on braveness" "The Chinese Lion with Peonies roars on my back" "Around the 21st year of Showa ( 1 947)" "Hey, there's meat." "Run!" "Run!" "Stop!" "Stop, you brat!" "You brat!" "Let go of me!" "Hey brother..." "You won't get it if you're just looking." "You're blocking everyone's way." "Why don't you move?" "Such an open display of black market commodities would make anyone stop and look even if they aren't cops." "What?" "Looks like I'm in the wrong place." "Bastard..." " Wait." "Hey, how's business?" "With so few items around..." "You can't do anything even in the Kozu Family's marketplace." "Say, you'd be wise to join my group." "This is none of your business." "I'm not that desperate to join a bunch of hooligans." "Is that right?" "Well, enjoy poverty." "Old man, are you selling used clothes?" "With such a big rip, you can't even use it as a diaper for babies." "Fools!" "Dad, these people are..." "Wait, wait, let me see." "Oh, this is bad." "It's bad." "Everyone, you'd get into trouble if you aren't careful." "I hear they sell fake stuff around here." "Gentlemen, if you aren't buying anything..." "Please tell your jokes elsewhere." "Masa." "You're from the Shinsei Group, aren't you?" "Masa, they did it with a knife." "I saw it with my own eyes." "Hey..." "Stop playing dirty tricks." "Brother..." "Cool it." "You're gonna pay for it." "We'll be in people's way here." "Come here." " What the hell are you doing?" "Let go of me." "Let go, damn it." "I won't let you do as you please in the Kozu Family's marketplace." "What?" "Stop it, Masa!" "But Brother, they..." "Masa, don't." "What's goin' on?" "Is it the Kozu Family's rule not to get in a fight you're bound to lose?" "The frail old boss is the only one with courage, I see." "Masa, they're selling a fight." "Let's buy it." "Alright." "Masa!" "Good job." "What's that?" "This isn't a circus." "Alright, alright." "Hey, stop making trouble." "What?" "Damn it." "It's dangerous to play with such a toy." "Go home before you have an extra hole in your body." "Shit." "I'll be back." "Thank you for your hospitality." "Thanks." "My wife's happy now." "She looks forward to seeing you guys once a year." "She took care of us so kindly." "The least we can do is to visit on her anniversaries." "Right, dear?" "When I was a kid..." "I used to look forward to visiting your house and get candy from her." "Listen, Ishimura, you're doing a fine job as the second generation boss of Ishioka." "I see you're going through some hard times and I'm sorry I can't do anything to help you." "Not at all, Uncle." "The times are difficult." "I count on you to take good care of the Ishioka Family." "Certainly." "Well, Uncle, Mr. Teruo, excuse us." "They've grown to become a nice couple, haven't they?" "Yes." "It's hard to believe Ms. Aya refused to marry Kiyo Nishimura half a year ago." "After her father Ishioka died the only daughter married the adopted son." "That was the best thing to do in order to keep the family going." "Yes, but..." "Seiji will be disappointed when he returns." "He was in so much love with her." "The thought of those two did cross my mind." "Once he sees it was for the good of the Ishioka Family I'm sure he'll understand with no regrets." "I wonder where he's wandering about?" "His comrades are all returning from the war." "Don't worry, he'll be back." "I'm sure he will." "He isn't the type of man who's so easily beaten." "Yes." "Boss, men from the Shinsei Group are here." "I didn't send these men to invade your marketplace." "I'd heard you were short of commodities and struggling so I sent them to see how things were." "And this is what they got." " Ouch!" "A mistake made by my young men is my own." "I sincerely apologize to you." "What's that?" "If we just wanted apology, we wouldn't have come out here like this." "How're you gonna pay for the injuries, huh?" "Hold it now." "Say, Mr. Kawada..." "You can act proud and try to hold it out but the vendors are the ones to suffer." "Why don't you become our ally?" "If you join our union, we can supply you with lots of stuff." "Thanks for your kind offer, but nobody in the Kozu Family appreciates filthy black market stuff." "When you go back, please tell Mr. Iwasa that I won't let him meddle with our business as long as I'm around." "Now, enough with this comedy, please just go." "What?" "Is that so?" "Then, we'll leave for now, but I want you to give our offer a thought." "Let's go." "C'mon, we're leaving." "Boss..." "We need to get more supplies somehow or our vendors might fall for their attractive offer." "What a sad place the world has become." "Hello." "Brother..." " Idiot!" "How many times we told you not to get into fights with the Shinsei Group?" "Yes, we're sorry." "But you see..." " No excuses!" "Hey, and that gentleman...?" "Yes." "Please come in." "I ask you to receive my introduction at your family's entrance way." "Thank you." "Excuse me for greeting you at the entrance way, but please allow me to." "Allow me to borrow your space of 3 foot 3 inches to describe my background and my occupation." "I am a young man of this family." "Please let me introduce myself to you." "I am a traveling man." "I ask you please let me introduce myself before you." "Thank you." "If you so kindly insist..." "I know the order is reversed but I shall withdraw to receiving yours first." "Thank you for receiving my introduction." "I am the clumsy kind, therefore if I ever make a mistake and fumble the proper introduction around please forgive me completely." "I believe this is the first time I am meeting you, Brother I see across from me." "I was born in the Empire of Japan, northeast of Nikko and Tsukuba where the gust of wind blows over Kanto Plains, in Utsunomiya, Yashu." "Occupation-wise, I happened upon my fate to come under the care of the Jumonji Family located in Utsunomiya, Yashu." "I am a young man who follows the third generation boss Shichitaro Sakamoto." "Sir name Kazama, given name Jukichi." "I am a novice who has little experience in this business." "I ask you for your kind patronage in any and all areas, and address me informally." "Thank you." "In response to your polite introduction forgive me for delaying my part of introduction." "I am a young man who follows Gen-no-suke Kawada, boss of the Kozu Family." "Sir name Eto, given name Shokichi." "I am a novice who has little experience in this business." "I ask for your kind patronage in any and all areas." "Thank you." "Please rise." "Please rise first." "I cannot do that." "Then, let's rise at the same time." "Thank you." "I remember meeting Mr. Sakamoto once at a meeting." "How's he doing?" "Yes, he's doing fine, thank you." "Really?" "We can't do anything fancy, but please make yourself at home." "Yes, thank you." "Here you are." "You see, before the fire we had the second floor and there were about 10 rooms." "Oh I didn't see you." "Greet the guest." "Where are you going dressed up like that?" "I know you're going to see that girl." "Don't get too involved." "She's gonna squeeze money out of you and get you in deep trouble." "She isn't like that." "Just 'cause you can't find a girl for yourself, don't find faults with mine." "What are you saying?" "It's not that I can't find a girl." "I don't fall for them, so they don't fall for me." "Idiot." "Everyone, please help maintain safety of the outdoor market." "Lately there's been several incidents of violence and it's become apparent some illegal products are now being sold." "If things keep going in this direction we'll need to take some action against them eventually." "I agree." "That's why we organized the Asakusa Tensho Union so that we're in close communication with one another." "Isn't that right, Mr. Takigawa?" "I believe things will improve if the union expands." "I don't know too much about the union but captain, all of us who gathered here today started from picking up roof tiles and wall panels after the fire truly wishing to revive the economy of Enko." "Also..." "We're the heads of families that have been local leaders for 2 or 3 generations so there's no way we would start any kind of trouble." "We can't really say everyone's honest around here." "What?" "Kawada, who are you referring to?" "We don't have to tell you." "Dad, I knew you'd be here." "Oh, Teruo  look how sad." "What is?" "Tokyo Bay shouldn't look so exposed from this town of Enko." "We need to get Enko back to the way it used to be as soon as possible for the pride of us Asakusa natives." "Yes." "But since we climbed all the way up here..." "I didn't want you to limit your view to Asakusa, but cover all of Japan." "You!" "Dad!" "Hang in there, Dad!" "Hang in there!" "Dad, we're home." "Boss, please hang in there." "What a dreadful..." "Who did this?" "Who did such a thing?" "Damn it, it's the Shinsei Group." "I'm sure it's them." "Don't fret." "Teruo, bring me ink and paper." "Boss!" "Boss!" "Boss!" "Calm down." "I'm not dying yet." "Eto..." "Write this down." "This is a note before I pass on." "One:" "The fifth generation boss of the Kanto Kozu Family shall be Terajima Seiji..." "Terajima." "Hold on, hold on a minute." "Goro!" "Don't." "Let me go." "Boss has been shot." "We can't sit around here doing nothing." "What do you mean, around here?" "Have you forgotten Boss rests in the other room?" "We aren't done with the wake or the funeral." "Causing a commotion now won't make Boss happy." "Mr. Sho, then, we're going to retaliate once the funeral is over, right?" "We don't know who did it." "Without evidence, we can't move, can we?" "To hell with evidence." "I'm gonna do it, even if by myself." "I'll come." "Me, too." "Junior, everyone, please calm down." "We'd be playing into their plot if we attack them at such a time." "Are you saying we should bite our tongue, Mr. Sho?" "If we can't avenge Boss' death..." "How're we gonna console his spirit?" "I wish Seiji were here." "Sei...ji..." "I'm home." "What's wrong?" "Welcome home." "Brother..." "Brother!" "Junior!" "Seiji's back." "Seiji." "Junior, I'm home." "Welcome back." "Seiji..." "I'm glad you're home." "Brother..." "I'm sorry for the long absence." "Brother!" "Banzai!" "Banzai!" "Boss..." "I'm home." "I didn't even have the chance to repay your kindness." "Forgive me." "Seiji, this is Boss' will." "Read it." "This is a note before I pass on." "One:" "The fifth generation boss of Kanto Kozu Family shall be Seiji Terajima, who will take over the family." "Two:" "Members of the Kanto Kozu Family must absolutely not get involved in any conflicts." "Not get involved in any conflicts..." "Everyone, forgive my long absence." "I'll be working hard together with you from this day on." "Let's cooperate just like we used to." "Our pleasure." "Goro, I heard you were in the surprise attack unit." "Yes." "I go by the nickname "Goro the fighter pilot"." "I almost lost my life once, but now it's in your hands, Brother." "Alright, mine, too!" "Big mouth, talking like a mature man!" "Damn it, at last we can show the Shinsei Group what we're made of." "Yeah, we can avenge Boss' death." "We've been waiting for this day." "We're ready to raise hell." "Seiji, it's for consoling Dad's soul." "We're counting on you." " Hold on a second, Junior." "You all heard Boss' will." "We must honor it." "At all costs, we must avoid a war." "Then, Brother, how are we gonna avenge the injustice done to Boss?" "We work as hard as we can." "We'll show them the true spirit of the Kozu Family." "Let's drink to celebrate Seiji's return." "It's sake for special occasions." "Not the cheap stuff, real sake." "Here you are." "The Family's been considerably sized down, Brother." "Five died in the war and two have yet to return." "Others have gone back to their hometowns for good." "He's our guest from the Jumonji Family of Utsunomiya." "Thanks for your hospitality." "My name is Kazama." "My name is Seiji Terajima." "Pleasure to meet you." "Brother, please come with me." "We can't do that, Seiji." "It's your duty to take over the Family." "That's Boss' will." "Everyone agrees." "I know it's his will, but I just can't do it." "I'm disabled." "I lack the power and the right to lead the Family." "It should be you considering the order of things." "You got that injury in the leg trying to protect the Family." "Seiji, you've just read his will." "Well, this time you'll be the one to protect the Family." "It may not cost you more than a single leg." "Brother." " Not Brother..." "Just call me Eto, or Sho." "The Kozu Family will be depending on you from now on." "I'm counting on you." "Yes." "You're the only one I can count on, Brother." "Please let me count on you." "It'll be my pleasure." "Urgent, urgent!" "What happened?" "Boss Ishioka and his wife, Aya, are here... oops..." "Wife?" "Seiji, I haven't had the chance to tell you yet." "Ms Aya Nishioka..." "To whom?" "To Kiyo Nishimura." "Seiji." "I see..." "I was away for five years." "It's to be expected." "Kiyo, it's been a long time." "Seiji, welcome back." "I'm glad you're safe." "Congratulations." "Yes." "Belated congratulations to you, too, for taking over the Family and for your marriage." "I'm happy for you." "Seiji..." "You know, we..." "I'm glad the two of you look happy." "The Ishioka Family's in good hands now." "I heard you're taking over the Kozu Family, too." "Yes." "I'm a novice who doesn't even know the family business well." "Please be kind." "Seiji." "We've been waiting for you to come back safely just like everyone else did." "Thank you for your concern." "It seems I don't get along well with bullets, so I didn't get hurt at all." "Aya..." "You should spend some time alone with Seiji soon." "What?" "Don't worry about me." "Okay?" "Go ahead." "Good morning." "One dozen shirts and two dozen pairs of gloves for Yoshitaro." "We've got about two dozens of military socks." "Would you like that?" "Thank you." "Here." "And for me?" "Brother?" "Oh, Ara, you're accumulating some debts." "For space rental and commodities, it comes up to about 600 already." "I'm sorry." "My wife's been ill and the traffic is slow where I am, so I can't make good sales as I wish to." "That's right near the Shinsei Group's marketplace." "No problem." "You should get customers as long as you've got things to sell." "It's our responsibility." "Ara, don't worry about paying us back." "Thank you." "I promise to pay next time." "Hello there." "Oh, old man Hanakawada." "Hello." "Well, I heard you had come around my place." "Yes." "Sorry I wasn't home to receive you." "No problem." "It's my fault." "I got carried away with work and neglected to follow up on it." "Old man, it's been long since I saw you last." "Well, well." "Since you've been back, the Kozu Family's become a solid unit." "Not at all." "I'm working away 'cause I couldn't be by his side when Old Boss passed away." "When are you gonna have the ceremony to make your position official?" "Well, I'd like to hold it off for a while." "I'm sure you've got your reasons .but it's also important to observe the rules of the yakuza." "Let me make all the arrangements for you." "But I shouldn't bother you with this stuff." "Not a problem." "Your predecessor, the fourth generation boss himself was eagerly waiting your return." "It's the least I could do to honor his spirit." "Yes." "Hello, Uncle." "Oh, Junior, I hear you've been good and going to school." "Seiji scolded me about it, you see." "Seiji, here you are." "What's this?" "I was asked to deliver this to you." "Open it later." "Seiji..." "I'd like to meet with you tomorrow evening  at about 7PM near the Three-Times-Around Shrine." "Seiji..." "Aya, I can't accept this." "Did you come to return this to me?" "I don't deserve such a fine piece." "It's my father's old kimono that I altered." "Then, you should really give it to Kiyo." "I had finished this kimono as long as two years before I married him." "I was going to have you wear it when you returned." "He understands about it, too." "I'm sorry." "I will gratefully accept it." "I was under so much pressure from my relatives and others around me." "Forgive me, Seiji." "Aya..." "The Ishioka Family cannot survive without you." "Things are exactly how they should be." "Is that how you really feel, Seiji?" "Aya..." "While on the warfield..." "I was determined never to die until I see your face again." "And now I have." "I'm plenty happy." "Well then, thank you for this." "Seiji..." "Had you only come back half a year sooner..." "Aya..." "There are some things you shouldn't mention." "Kiyo is a fine person." "You should make his life happy." "Good morning!" " Good morning." "'Morning!" "Here, mom." "Hey, friend." "When did you move to the new market?" "Well, Masa..." "I know we worked in your marketplace for a long time but we decided to work under the Shinsei Group from now on." "What?" "Well, we tried very hard to stay with you but..." "Hey, wait a minute." "Brother Seiji is now the fifth generation boss and commodities have become much more available, haven't they?" "Y'know, we don't have the luxury to look forward to the future." "We're content as long as we have food to eat today." "Ditto." "Their wholesale prices are a bit higher but they've got so much more supplies." "Plus they're talking about building a marketplace with a roof." "Please excuse us for leaving you." "What an ungrateful bunch!" "Bodhisattva Buddha will surely punish you!" "That's right!" "Boss and his staff are running around securing commodities." "Bastards!" "Stupid idiots!" "Shit for brains!" "Good for nothing bums!" "Sure, as long as he can supply us with fabrics we can sew anything for you." "Is that right?" "Mr. Koizumi..." "I don't care what odd pieces or extra bits you may have." "Please help." "Alright." "If this gentleman is willing." "To tell you the truth..." "I've been quite upset with the way the Shinsei Group handles business." "Hang in there, Kozu Family." "Thank you so much." "We appreciate it." "Thank you." " Are you alright?" "Hello." "Some sake, please." "Two bottles." " What's the matter?" "She wasn't who I thought it was." "Mr. Kazama..." "The person you're looking for is...?" "My little sister." "Is that right?" "I'd presumed it was your wife." "Not at all." "She's the only family I've got in heaven or on earth." "Last year, when I returned home from the war she'd been tricked by a complete stranger wanted to get married to him and wouldn't listen to me." "The same old story..." "They eloped eventually." "Through the grapevine I heard they'd split, and I thought..." "She could've been mixed up with indecent women." "Mr. Kazama..." "Please feel free to stay with us until you find your sister, as long as you want." "Yes." "Hey, hey, what the hell are you doing?" "Are you aware that we're from the Kanto Kozu Family?" "Don't move or we'll shoot." "Brother, they're from the Shinsei Group." "What?" "Get them!" "Hey, what the hell are you doing, bastards?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "You're in the same kind of business as ours." "You should know how valuable commodities are now." "Move!" "Make me." "I'm Goro the fighter pilot!" "I didn't fly a jet for nothing!" "Take a life or two of mine if you want!" "What?" "Bastard!" "What happened, Masa?" "Goro?" "Brother, it's the bastards from the Shinsei Group..." "Goro, hold on." "Goro, what happened, Goro?" "Brother..." "I'm sorry." "Did you let them beat you up without a fight?" "Fukunaga!" "Goro, you held back well." "Damn Shinsei Group!" "Everyone, you see what happened." "I'm sorry." "But I promise, we'll have some supplies tomorrow." "In the name of the Kozu Family, I promise all of us will find the commodities." "Please not to worry." "It's so yummy, it's a real..." "Here, what do you think?" "It's gorgeous." "You can eat it just..." "Masa, let's go home." "We never know what the guys from the Shinsei Group would do if they see us." "It's me who want to find the guys from thr Shinsei Group." "Let's go home." "That's him." "Got you!" " What the hell are you doing?" "Hey, you're the one that had your face covered last night, aren't you?" "I'm not sure what you're talking about." "Don't pretend you don't know!" "How could one ever forget that weird ear?" "What, you bastard?" "Hey!" "You're pretty brave to be showing up on your own." "Brother..." "You know what you'll get if you hang around someone else's turf, don't you?" "Come with us, will ya?" "Let go of me, bastards!" "Masa!" "Masa!" "Get me a knife." "We'll go too!" "Don't anyone follow me." "I can handle it alone." "You can't, Brother." " Shut up!" "I'm Seiji Terajima, of the Kozu Family." "I know our young man is visiting you." "Please tell him I came to pick him up." "Masa!" "Brother!" "It seems he's been fussed over quite a bit." "May I take him back?" "We can't let you." "He interfered with the vendors in our marketplace." "We haven't finished with properly punishing him for meddling with our business." "Brother, I'm sorry." "Please don't worry about me." "I..." "I couldn't let it pass when our commodities got vandalized." "I just couldn't hold back." "Damn it." "Brother, I know they did it." "What would satisfy you?" "Let me see." "I think you know more about how to handle such things." "You want me to cut off my finger?" "Your finger wouldn't even feed anyone." "What do you say how about exchanging him with your marketplace in Sumida?" "Please stop kidding." "You're in business similar to ours so I'm sure you know we value our marketplaces more than our own life." "I see." "Then, why don't we have your life?" "Your life or the market place?" "Make a decision right now." "There's no need for that." "We mean it." "I'm not the type to joke around, either." "Shoot me any way you want." "Brother..." "Is that it?" "Aim right here if you wanna shoot at all." "I'm taking him home." "Bastard, stop right there!" "He's at a level above you, I see." "Damn it." "He's stupidly reckless, that's for sure." "Stupid... you're stupid." "You can't just get frustrated and go out on your own." "It hurts...hurts..." "Seiji, are you sure you don't want to be treated?" "It's a bullet wound." "I can't let the town doctor see it." "Seiji, let me take the bullet out for you." "It's a skill I honed from being in the army." "I haven't forgotten it." "Is that so?" "Please." "It'll hurt a little." "Please hold on." "Yes." "Seiji..." "Your life is full of hardships, isn't it?" "I'm used to working my ass off in order to manage poor households." "Go ahead, please don't hesitate." "Go ahead." "Bet a higher sum, anyone?" "Let me." "Here we go." "6 for the first half... 7 for the latter half." "Goro." "Please don't tell Brother." "It seems you had good luck." "Maybe it's 'cause I don't do it often..." "but I got lucky with each and every roll." "I don't mean to meddle with your business, but I think it's best to pull out now." "What?" "It's the first time in a long time that I gambled myself, but I know what I see." "That guy's got the look..." "Do you think he's up to something?" "I don't think you should bet too high from now on." "Yes." "I'm gonna go home after one more small bet." "It's the Family's money..." "I can't let it be cheated out of me." "Family's money?" "Well, I thought I'd make up for the damage by the Shinsei Group the other day." "Is that right?" "Well now, excuse me." "Are you sure you should be hanging out here like this carrying your important money?" "Yeah." "I don't know why but I just had to come see you." "You're weird." "How come you won't marry me?" "Is it 'cause you don't like me?" "We can't quit our profession so easily." "That's ridiculous." "It's not like you're owned by any whorehouse." "I'll come and negotiate it for you if there's some rule among your peers." "That's not what it is." "Plus, even if I married you, I wouldn't be able to make you happy." "Fool." "I'm the one to make you happy." "Do you have a lung illness?" "It's just a bad cold inbetween seasons." "It doesn't sound like a simple cold." "Take this and go to a doctor." "That's too much money." "Fool." "Do you still treat me like a client?" "I'm sorry." "But are you sure you can do this?" "Sure, I am." "Things will take care of themselves." "Going home?" " Yeah." "Will you come see me again?" "I've rented this room for the night." "Sleep here and have a good rest." "Bye." "What are you doing?" "That's the money I received got separately from my client." "That doesn't matter." "The rule is to give me all the money you girls earn." "There're some incredibly generous bastards around, aren't there?" "He must be crazy about you." "Too bad for you that I'm crazy about her." "Goro..." "I didn't know you're such mean bastards." "It's none of your business what we do." "You've gotta use your brain while you can." "Damn you." "Do you think you'll get away with this?" "You can have the money if that's what you want." "There, I won't let Michi be your slave any more." "Get out!" "You'll pay for this." "Hon, you should get out of here quick." "You'll be in trouble if you stay around." "I've been around them many times." "There's nothing to worry about." "C'mon, hurry up." "The back door is a short cut." "Michiyo..." "Take good care of yourself." "Please be happy." "Goro..." "Goro!" "Who is it?" " It's Ishimura." "Open up." "Kiyo." " I brought Goro here for you." "He's injured very badly." "What?" "Hang in there!" "C'mon!" "Brother!" " Goro!" "What happened?" "What happened?" "He seems to have been attacked in our area." "I tried to get a doctor for him but he adamantly insisted that he come home." "Goro!" "Hang in there, Goro." "Goro!" " Brother..." "Hey, bring him water!" "What happened?" "Brother..." "It's regrettable that I have to die like this..." "Who did this to you?" "Brother..." "I think I'm dying...." "Michiyo..." "Michiyo..." "Goro!" "Goro!" "Idiot!" "You're a big fool, Goro..." "In such a rush to die like that..." "And like an old rag you were tossed aside." "It's so pathetic that it almost killed me, too." "Damn it." "Boss!" "Will you still tell us to hold back after all these incidents?" "We know it's the Shinsei Group that did it." "We've been trampled over and over again." "How many funerals will we have to see in this house?" "Boss, we can't leave it in the hands of the police." "That's right." "We should attack them!" "I can't bear it any more." "Damn it." "Are you brothers still..." "Boss, aren't you angry, too?" "I'm losing respect for you." "To have a boss who acts this way..." "It's pathetic!" " Masa..." "That's enough." "You're being rude." "Seiji, please excuse me now." "Dear..." "What's the matter?" "Aya..." "It's just too painful." "Why?" "I'm sure you were vaguely aware that our Family is associated with Shinsei Group." "We also joined their union a long time ago." "I got all our market vendors to be the members, too." "How could I attend such a place." "You know what kind of folks the Shinsei Group is made of..." "I do." "But you see..." "I don't think what they're doing is wrong." "What do you mean by that?" "The market." "The Shinsei Group collects membership fees from its members in order to build a large roofed structure where the market can stay open even if it rains." "Everyone will be very happy when it's done." "A market place with a roof..." "But if the Shinsei Group is in control..." "It's for everybody's good." "As long as we stay alert, they won't be able to fool us." "But..." "I have to go somewhere to take care of business." "They don't have female help around here, so stay and help them out." "Aya." "Seiji." "Forgive me, but I heard all of your conversation." "I don't know what to do." "Kiyo is doing his best to serve you and your Family." "Let him do it his way." "Every person has his own way of thinking and living his life." "I think you should trust him and follow him along." "Kiyo may be right." "Maybe the open-air market is going out of fashion." "The business of skimming off the profits of poor market vendors might not have a big future after all." "A roofed market place..." "Of course everyone will be happy about it." "Excuse me..." "Is this the office of the Kozu Family?" "Yes, it is." "Did Goro return last night?" "You are...?" "Goro's inside." "Please." "Please." "Goro..." "Miyo." "Miyo!" "So you're Michiyo now." "I'm Michiyo." "Miyo Kazama no longer exists." "Fool!" "I didn't want to see you." "I didn't want you to see me." "It's too late now." "We finally found each other." "You should leave me alone." "Let's go home." "Alright?" "Let's go back to Utsunomiya." "I don't want to." "Leave me alone." "Miyo!" "What?" "What the heck is this?" "We're going to build a new marketplace here." "Sorry about the last minute notice but you're gonna have to leave." "What?" "Do you think you can force us like that first thing in the morning?" "We've officially purchased this lot from the landowner Mr. Togawa." "We'll get rid of this ugly open-air market and build a big shiny newmarket place instead." "Mr. Togawa, is it true what he says?" "I had to do something about this lot..." "Otherwise I couldn't pay the outstanding inheritance taxes." "You can't." "You heard him." "Now everyone, out of the way." "Hey, first you lynched Goro to death..." "And now you have to do this to us?" "Oh, did someone die in your Family?" "I didn't know anything about it." "I can't wait to see his face when he gets here." "Yes." "Hey, everyone, don't start anything." "Understood?" " Yes." "Alright, let's go." "This is our territory." "Mr. Iwasa..." "This lot has always belonged to the Kozu Family." "We can't do any business with all these stakes around." "I want you to pull them out right now." "We've purchased this lot." "We have the legal right to do anything we want." "I'm not talking law here." "There's such a thing as the yakuza code of honor." "A respectable yakuza would never invade someone else's territory." "You're so old fashioned talking about stuff like yakuza and code of honor." "We're in the age of capitalism." "We plan to build a marketplace here in the future." "If you still want to continue your business here, you should join our union." "We could possibly negotiate something with you." "Stop kidding yourself." "Do you think the Kozu Family would be associated with a bunch of thieves?" "What?" "Damn you!" "Everyone, please go home now." "We'll have to discuss the matter alone now." "Please do not worry and go home." "Mr. Iwasa, the marketplace is our life's blood." "We simply can't back down here." "You'll have to drive those stakes in our bodies before you proceed." "You bastards." "Alright, go on, beat them up!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Mr. Iwasa, it seems your purchase of this land isn't quite official yet." "I checked with the city office just now." "Hey, Mr. Togawa..." "I understand you need the money." "It's one thing to sell the land to some company or bank but to sell it to a yakuza would only make things complicated." "We both grew up in Enko." "I'm sure you know well how things work, don't you?" "Mr. Iwasa, the yakuza has its own rules." "You can't force things." "It's no business for old folks." "You're acting out of your place, Iwasa." "If you continue to act so arrogantly, you'll make enemies out of all the yakuza in Kanto." "I presume you're willing to face the possibility." "Can't you guys get along better?" "If things remain troublesome like this, the police will have no choice but to interfere." "That's right." "Let me be the mediator and you hold off on this fight." "Agreed?" "Yes." "Fifth generation boss, use this money to buy the land." "Old man..." "It didn't come from me alone." "The wholesale business owners here all chipped in." "Do you want me to build a market place?" "Seiji, please do." "You're the only person who could compete with those guys around here." "We were all afraid to say anything before but we promise to help you out from now on no matter what." "Our pride as Asakusa natives will be tainted if we keep  letting those shady guys do what they want." "Seiji..." "Accept the money and accept the responsibility to fight to the end in the family name of Kozu." "Everyone..." "I, Seiji, will honor the responsibility." "Are you feeling better?" "You want an apple?" "You'd better eat something." "It seems they'll soon be getting this American medicine called Strept-something." "I hear it works well." "Brother..." "You haven't asked me what I've been doing at all." "Why worry about what's been done?" "Forget about the past and get well soon." "I'm no good any more." "I've been dirtied so much." "Miyo, don't even worry about it." "It's all because I wasn't strong enough." "To be tricked by such a man." "I'm happy just to have you around now." "I've always been sickly since I was a child and you took care of me." "I was such a brat." "Miyo." "Get well soon, and start a new life with me, your brother, alright?" "Does anyone still have anything to say?" "You can't charge us twice the price of what used to be at the open air market." "You broke your promise." "You said you'd lower the rent." "We paid you monthly membership fees to build this place." "I don't think we owe you any additional fee." "Listen up..." "There's no way we could've build such a nice marketplace just with your money." "We went through so much trouble to collect the money to build it." "The interests alone are quite a burden for us." "You should expect to help cover them a little." "What do you mean to cover?" "That's right." " You're making things up." "If you don't like it, you can always leave." "There are many others who want to rent a space here." "Give us back our money!" "That's right!" "Give us back the money we paid in to build the market!" "Hello." "Give me a change of clothes." "Clothes?" "Are you going out again?" "We have a meeting tonight." "I may be coming home late." "I see." "Say, dear, a few of our vendors came by this afternoon." "They said they'd been kicked out of the Shihsei Group's marketplace." "I think it might be better if we don't have to be associated with them anymore." "Let's keep our business small from now on." "Forgive me..." "What about our vendors who were looking forward to that marketplace for so long." "I need to square off our deal this time around or Ishioka Family will be a laughing stock of all of Tokyo." "Dear, are you going to meet with the Shinsei Group?" "Don't worry, I'm only going to ask for the money we had paid in." "Do you have to go?" "Yes." "I'm stubborn, and I was always the kind to want to make all decisions on my own." "But I'll consult you for future decisions from now on." "Oh no." "It's trendy now, to give equal rights to women, right?" "Dear." "Aya." "Please come home soon." "I'm glad we have a good friend in Seiji." "Yes." "Good to see you back." "Well, we know, we know..." "We don't have the nerve to return here before..." "But since we were kicked out of the Shinsei Group you're the only family we can count on." "Please let us work, Mr. Masa." "Please, we beg you." "I beg you too, please let them work with us." "What's this about?" "You go with them, now you go with us." "You're such fair-weather friends." "No, we were being tricked." "Many of our friends have all been thrown out and are lost." "Please help us all." "Hi." "Seiji." "Masa, Roku, stop teasing them." "Seiji!" "I knew you'd be back sooner or later." "Welcome back." "Yes, thank you." "You see, the Kozu Family will be building a marketplace of our own with the help of the wholesale business owners." "You can use the space as soon as it's ready." "That's great!" "Thank you!" "There's one condition, though." "I want you to be responsible to run your own market place from now on." "I know it's news to you, but the Kozu Family will not be involved any longer." "You mean, we'll be independent of the Kozu Family?" "Thank you for working with us for so long." "I thank you from the bottom of my heart in the name of the late fourth-generation boss Gen-no-suke." "But what about the men from the Shinsei Group?" "No, you don't need to worry about them." "We'll take care of it squarely." "We'll feel safer to be under your umbrella." "Well, because of our kind of business, things get complicated." "Please accept our decision." "You will have to deal with the wholesalers directly in the future." "So then, what are you going to do from now on?" "Well, I'm thinking of starting straight business just like you guys." "Yuki, straight business!" "Did you hear, Dad?" "Dad?" "It's too soon for that!" "Brother, looks like we need to speed up the construction." "Well, if we put all our force together we'll be able to finish it in a week instead of 10 days." "Aya, forgive me." "What do you want?" "This is no place for you to be." "Are you his wife?" "Can you confirm his identity?" "Dear!" "Kiyo..." "It is Kiyota Ishimura, isn't it?" "Yes." "He killed one person with his weapon so this gentleman apparently killed him in self-defense." "Terajima..." "Could it be you who suggested him to do this?" "We have to hand over the corpse to the police, so will you leave now?" "Mr. Iwasa..." "What's this ugly scar on his face?" "This is how you do things." "Sir, please investigate into the details." "I will leave him in your hands." "Aya..." "Aya..." "I don't know what I'm going to do." "Don't say that." "You're the only pillar in the Ishioka Family now." "What can a woman do on her own?" "I can't stand to be involved in such a cruel business." "Aya..." "The many vendors that work under you..." "How will they eat?" "And their kids and wives?" "They want us to give up." "Please cheer up." "We shouldn't give up, we should do our best to keep on." "Alright." "I won't give in, no matter what happens." "I presume you're her brother?" "Yes." "She passed away." "Just a moment ago." "Miyo." "Damn, soon we'll be able to do business in a roofed territory." "No, Mr. Tame, not a territory, a marketplace." "Yes, a marketplace!" "That's right, a marketplace!" "Hey, hurry up." "Now, let's keep working all night." "Yeah, sure thing, I do a much better job than an average carpenter, see." "That's right!" "Hey, what's that?" "Fire?" " What!" "?" "Oh, no, it's in the direction of the marketplace." "Let's get over there right away!" "Masa!" "Let's put it out!" "I'll help you, too!" "Masa, don't go!" "I found them!" "The arsonists are here!" "Fukunaga!" "Brother, Roku's in trouble!" "Roku!" "Roku!" "Seiji..." "I may slow you down, but I'll come with you." "We don't need more than one fool around here." "Please..." "Help everyone who's longing to see a shiny big marketplace here." "Everybody..." "Please help each other..." "Seiji." "I understand." "I'll put my life into rebuilding it." "The life I consider I've given to you." "Thank you." "Dad, let me borrow this." "Finally..." "I have no choice but to resort to this last measure." "I'll properly apologize to you later for not following my responsibility as the fifth generation leader." "Aya..." "Thank you for the kimono." "I'm in no position to stop you." "Please take care of everyone after I'm gone." "Please build a huge marketplace." "Seiji, please wait." "Aya..." "Please take care." "Seiji!" "Boss!" "We're coming with you." "Idiots." "Don't you understand?" "You're the ones to get our town of Enko back on its feet again." "Alright?" "Please understand." "Seiji, let me come with you." "Junior, can't you keep your promise with your Boss?" "Seiji!" "The precious skin that my parents gave me" "I had it stained with ink, under the brush" "How can I ask for my mother's forgiveness for the many worries I've given her?" "The Chinese Lion with Peonies on my back cries" "Seiji..." "I'm coming with you." "You shouldn't do that, Mr. Kazama." "You were finally able to find your sister." "You should take care of her." "You see..." "She's waiting for me on the other side." "Is that right?" "Seiji, if I let you go alone now..." "I, Kazama, will be a laughing stock of the yakuza world as a man who doesn't know how to repay someone's kindness." "Please let me be a man." "I have to force one to call it white when it's black" "I won't be able to die peacefully in bed" "I know too well that's the nature of my business" "I have no regrets at all" "The night breeze laughs at me, calling me a rogue" "It's a raid." "Go and see." "What the hell?" "Seiji of the Kozu Family's here to see Iwasa." "Where is he?" "Get him!" "Terajima, come on out." "Let's settle this one." "Iwasa..." "Let me show you the true spirit of the Kozu Family." "Iwasa..." "Show yourself." "Boss!" "Masa!" "Be careful!" "Damn it!" "Die!" "Masa!" "Boss..." "Iwasa." "You're going to die." "Kazama!" "Mr. Kazama..." "Masa!" "Thank you very much." "Aya, I wish Kiyo had lived to see this happy day." "You know the good news is that Seiji didn't die." "When his wounds are healed he'll have to spend a short period of time in jail." "By then this town of Enko will be back to what it used to be." "Look, pigeons."
