Promoted to assistant Wakagashira of Kyowakai, Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya), along with Tamura (Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi), who has also risen to an executive position, heads to Kumamoto to back the Aso and Kirishima families, the Kumamoto faction that broke away from the fiercely contested Kyushu Shiseikai succession struggle. During their stay, a hitman strikes—Kenta is shot while shielding Himuro and is left in a critical, unconscious condition. Meanwhile in Kanto, Takishima (Masahiko Tsugawa), chairman of the Marugami Alliance, retires, and executive director Mita (Shun Sugata) becomes the second chairman. However, Tsurumi (Mikio Osawa), head of the Tsurumi-gumi, strongly opposes the decision—only to find himself targeted by would-be assassins as well.
