Bôryoku Gai plot

Egawa risked his life and spent several years in prison while fighting a Yakuza war for the Togiku clan. On his release, he said goodbye to his criminal past and found a nightclub in Ginza called “Madrid”. Togiku became a legal organization. During Egawa's imprisonment, his wife married Gohara, the chairman of Togiku. With pressure coming from rival Yakuza (Western Japan Alliance), Gohara wants Egawa to step aside and return “Madrid” to Togiku. Egawa refuses and is supported by former members of his mafia family. They kidnap a celebrity associated with Togiku. At Togiku, however, they think Western Japan Alliance is behind the kidnapping. This is exactly what Egawa and his men want. After the ransom is paid, hitmen are deployed by Gohara. Egawa does not intend to give in and goes after Gohara in turn.
