Goro is fresh out of jail for stabbing rival hitman Sugiyama (whom happens to be his brother). He returns finding his boss Mizuhara dominated by the rival Ueno Clan, now in control of all the money making ventures of Toyko. Goro spends his days of freedom tracking down women of his past, but a hit is on his life after he stabs Ueno underboss in a fight the underboss caused.

The Ueno Clan kidnaps and kills a soldier of Mizuhara and Goro goes on a killing frenzy to right the wrong. As Goro is recovering in the hospital , Ueno launches a surprise attack on Mizuhara in their weaken state. Mizuhara in-debts himself to the Jingu Clan as reinforcements to the escalating Ueno Clan attacks.

As the Mizuhara and Jingu Clans finalize their partnership, the Ueno Clan martyrs the young Takeo , a soldier under Goro. Sugiyama , realized from prison, attempts to persuade Ueno not to pursue Goro, but the conversation gets Sugiyama killed instead. Goro now convinced Ueno is the wicked villain of the west, knife fights his entire army in the finale.
