In two accounts. Upper Kyushu near the Kammon Strait, which opens the land of the rising sun for the rest of the sinful world since ancient times. The naste, which established the influence, as well as the theater of hostilities and the place of business activity, two cutting down money, large criminal organizations - the Owada family and the Kei group. The young manager of the Owada family, the son-in-law of the boss, the noble darehead Tetsuya Kyusyunoki and the no less crazy Shuji Kuroda, who in his own life is a “roll-field”, attempt on Iwao Masaki – the chairman of the rival group Keei. Kuroda deprives Masaki of his life and deprives himself of seven years of life in the wild.
After winding down his sentence and being released, Shuji Kuroda is as puzzled as anything, stunned by the news that makes it clear that it is a pipe, bringing him to a peak position: it is not so easy to return those money, those five lemas that the Owada family promised him to pay for what was done seven years ago. Tension with the money issue, draws the stray dog Kuroda also into the center of a conflicting fight-fighter with the simmering question of the successor to the influential position of the head of the clan.
The main director of the yakuza eiga, Kinji Fukasaku, in his style, gives series after series, according to the laws of the genre, not related in the trilogy and unfamiliar with each other stories burning the life of the yakuza. In the second part of the Yakudze “Merleson ballet”, he creates an intra-frame movement that quickly conveys a significant tension, character and energy of bandit arbitrariness. Toshiaki Tsushima still adds to his sounding rhythms and they are worth it! The invariable central figure on the front line is the Sugawara Rebellion, in the image of Shuji Kuroda, a hungry beast with a whole grin, breaking out of the cage and struggling to survive in the world of yakuza corporate formations, adopting the stereotyped image of American gangsterism: suits with a needle, prestigious cars, not cheap whores and expensive geishas – full equipment. They have everything captured, but mostly living half-life, on the fact of mutual destruction.
Sugawarov’s core and frantic Shuji Kuroda, with his code of honor, is extremely angry and as if with a bullet in his head, reminiscent of the principled Lee Marvin in John Burman’s Point Blank, daring to stubbornly demand the money promised to him from the syndicate, demanding respect. Realizing that he is more likely to not collect bones, but they will not pass for nothing for not paying the obligation, gives such crusts that the courage not to take - kamikaze! But, in addition to the lavender motif, Kuroda realizes that he is in an insidious game and only a puppet on strings. For the time being, until the time that goes downhill in the violence of Shuji Kuroda, you have to keep iron horses, gunpowder dry and ammunition ready, having your own approach to the matter, earning a reputation as a marginal yakuza.
