Gokudo Ryuji PART2

Due to successive conflicts, Ryuji Kazama, an executive of the Daido-gumi, has made a name for himself as a fierce fighter in the yakuza world. Saeki, who lives cunningly, schemes to oust the increasingly disliked Ryuji. However, his plot reaches the ears of the Daido-gumi boss, leading to his expulsion, and Fujinami, Ryuji's former junior, also leaves the organization. In Saeki's place, Nagatomo becomes the new Wakagashira, and Ryuji inherits Saeki’s territory. But soon, mysterious meth begins circulating in the area. Ryuji and Tatsuya send three gang members who had joined the territory as Tatsuya’s juniors to investigate the source of the drugs. The shadow of Saeki looms large... Could Fujinami be involved too? A new conflict erupts! The struggle between a yakuza forced into a corner and one who defends his honor intensifies. Will the brutal, chaotic killing spree that shakes the yakuza world ever end? Ryuji, to settle his own score, fires a sorrowful bullet.

Directed by Takeshi Miyasaka, Gokudo Ryuji PART2 leans on a strong ensemble — Riki Takeuchi, Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi, Mihiro — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2011.
