After learning from their imprisoned Old Boss that he has decided to remain in prison and eventually die, Kentaro Yamamoto and his brothers, Ryo Tachibana and Kazuhiko Sugihara, vow to honor him by serving their new boss, “Mad Dog” Manjiro Inugane. They storm the rival boss’s compound, determined to prove their loyalty, only to be captured and stunned to learn that Inugane had already reached a fragile truce with that rival. Back in Inugane’s orbit, the trio beg forgiveness, finding their path blocked by a brutal choice: commit seppuku and sell their organs, or travel to Thailand to undergo gender reassignment surgery and train to become idols.
