Overview
Goro had grown up in the yakuza world. As an active member of the Mizuhara family crime syndicate, he expressed his loyalty by always putting himself in the forefront of every battle. Violence never bothered him. However, after being sentenced to three years in prison for stabbing a rival gang’s hit man, he becomes disenchanted with the Yakuza life style. Goro is determined to start anew, but karma catches up. His two closest friends are murdered by his ex-boss. He is left with two options: to kill or be killed.

Viewing Notes
Seems to be inspired by the same real life gangster story as the two GRAVEYARD OF HONOR films. These are more romanticized and melodramatic, with Goro as an antihero who really has a sense of honor and a heart of gold.
