Summary: The violent, documentary-style film tells the story the gangland wars that lasted nearly twenty-five years in postwar Japan. The story revolves around Shozo Hirono, an ex-soldier and his buddies who are drawn into gangster faction wars, assassination attempts, druglord double-crosses and feuds. It is the opener and anchor of Kinji Fukasaku's five-film series about the yakuza wars that broke out in Hiroshima the year after the A-bomb. Adapted from a series of newpaper articles by Koichi Iiboshi, a journalist and former yakuza
