Meanwhile, Hidetoshi Kaji (Hitoshi Ozawa), the leader of the Koga Family, interrogates Shimazu Clan member Takuzo Katsuya (Yoshimi Tachi) and learns about Mamoru’s involvement. Determined to settle the score, Kaji storms the Matsuno Association, the group that inherited the Morita Clan’s remnants, but fails to locate Mamoru. Relentless, Kaji has Matsuno’s members monitored, tracks down Mamoru’s whereabouts, and ultimately abducts him...
