These three will be the team.

Bring them here right away. Any way you can.

"Ryuichi Koga. A descendent of the head of the Koga Ninja clan.

"Lost his parents in infancy.

"Struggles against his grandfather, Haku-unsai."

KOGA, SHIGA PREFECTURE

Ryuichi, can you jump that bamboo?

Are you making fun of me? You think I'm just a kid.

SEVERAL MONTHS LATER

Think of these bamboo tips as spearheads.

If you touch them, you bleed.

This is stupid.

Ryuichi… jump!

It's the same height as the bamboo that you just called stupid.

There's no way you can't jump the same height.

You coward.

You call yourself the legitimate heir of the Koga clan?

Jump!

Disgraceful!

More intensely!

Ryuichi, what's the matter?

TEN YEARS LATER

You still can't master dislocating your joints?

I can dislocate my feet, but not my hands.

Idiot.

Freeing your hands is more important than your feet.

I don't like this, Grandpa. I'm tired of it.

Ryuichi, I won't forgive such regretful words.

I don't like what I don't like. Why must I learn this?

It is the duty and responsibility of the legitimate heir of the Koga clan.

Ninja secrets passed on by our ancestors aren't for outsiders.

And you will transfer this knowledge down the line forever.

- Science is all-powerful today. - Science is not all-powerful.

It is a constantly revised hypothesis.

So, then, is the Way of the Ninja useful?

The Way of the Ninja is not a hypothesis.

It is the forging of a superhuman intellect

and an indomitable spirit through years of discipline.

No matter what, I don't like what I don't like.

Grandpa, I'm leaving!

I did it!

Fighting me is absurd.

For tomorrow, in addition to joint dislocation,

we shall work on the technique I just showed you, understood?

- The technique of clinging to the ceiling? - It's called "Hiding in the Mist".

It cannot be grasped with common training.

Be prepared.

If I stay in this place, my youth will be wasted.

Ryuichi, where are you going?

Answer me!

To the toilet.

Carrying baggage?

It's training gear. I was going to train alone.

Your face doesn't look like you want to urinate or defecate.

Is it not the face of one who lost pride as the head of the Koga clan?

No.

I was planning to train.

Fine. Then I shall be your training partner.

On guard, Ryuichi.

Damn!

Ryuichi, trying to see with your eyes is futile.

Concentrate on the new sounds.

Clear your mind and the fire becomes cold.

Concentrate on new sounds and the darkness becomes daylight.

Takeshi Hayabusa. Formerly police narcotics squad section chief.

Veteran narcotics and contraband investigator.

Currently, a lone wolf assassin in the Yakuza underworld.

Boss, someone's peeping.

Who's there? Show your face.

- Who are you? - I was hired by the Five Dragons.

An assassin? How much to kill me?

Three million.

I've become cheaper.

Fine. I'll pay six.

Kill the boss of the Five Dragons.

I only work with an advance.

Hey… You're not just taking off with the money.

I always deliver. That's my professional reputation.

Then we have a deal. You can leave.

Yes. I still have the Five Dragon business to take care of.

I always deliver.

I didn't see anything. So, please…

Don't kill me.

I won't tell anyone.

Take my body.

And you gave the three million you got from me to the girl?

I tend to answer sex with fairness.

Maybe it was to keep her quiet, but it's far too much money.

But he made up for it with work before he died.

- What do you mean? - Six million in cash to kill you.

Hey, now! That's a lousy joke.

I'm not a man who jokes around.

Well, that's money for nothing. You should keep it.

- Of course, I intend to. - So, a job well done!

- Take it and leave. - Sure.

But my business isn't done.

What do you mean?

A promise with the dead.

Stop teasing me.

You look so serious!

"Ichiro Sakura. Instructor at the Japanese Aikido Dojo.

"Lewd, with a violent personality.

"Expelled from his dojo, he drifted around, committing murder.

"Currently awaiting execution at Miyamori Prison."

- Wait a second. - Hey!

With your abilities, you could easily facilitate his escape.

Forget about it.

The job's too dangerous for just a million in chump change.

You think you're so important. You'd be bankrupt without customers like me.

Hey, you dare to insult me?

I might be broke, but I'm still the owner of Koga Private Investigators.

No management skills and a mountain of debt…

Keep it up, and you'll soon be in prison yourself.

What did you say?

You don't scare me.

I've looked into it thoroughly.

No means no.

It's now a matter of pride. See you!

Alright, I'll respect your pride.

I'll add another million.

If I say no…

…I mean no.

MIYAMORI PRISON

Hurry and change.

Why are you helping me?

I'm an odd guy.

Just don't forget this favour.

Let's go!

Is spreading pepper around like some kind of magic?

It hides the scent from the dogs.

Oh, is that so?

You fool!

They're coming.

Hey, pass that.

Right, listen. Put this in your mouth and dive. Got it?

- Everything okay? - Everything seems normal.

What's up?

For some reason, my eyes are stinging.

- And I can smell something, too. - What is it?

Your senses must be dull!

What's that?

- What is it? - There!

- That there… - Hey.

- Aren't the patrolmen here? - No, sir.

What are they doing, then? They haven't returned from their shift.

I'll go and check the cells. You come with me.

Sir!

Hey, Taro!

Taro!

Hey, let's get going.

They're going to catch us.

This idiot is really hanging in there.

- I couldn't breathe! - Shut up. Be quiet.

Stay quiet!

Hurry!

Uncle, he's here.

Good. Let him in.

Sir…

Come in.

I'm always indebted to you for the bereaved families.

What are you talking about?

The families of subordinates who died under your orders,

and the monthly money sent to them anonymously.

I also know how you make that money.

Commissioner, did you call me here to interrogate me?

No. For verification.

Whether you're willing to reopen that case.

Commissioner, are you serious?

It's as you suspected. I checked myself.

So, we have to have closure for the dead and their families.

Commissioner, let me deal with it.

I've gathered your soldiers.

They're both late. It's ten minutes past the appointment.

Well?

- They should be useful. - Yes.

Uncle, it's Sakura.

Hey, at least take your hat off.

- Why? - Take it off!

The sunglasses, too.

- Koga's already left the hotel. - He's here now.

Hey, how long are you going to stay in that stupid pose?

Hey!

I don't know who the hell you are.

You're just jealous, you're ridiculous!

Why would anyone be jealous of you? I'm talking about him…

Hey!

Ninja skills mean nothing here.

Then I'll make them mean something.

- You were up there all this time? - You should open your eyes, you fool.

So, what do you want us to do?

Do we need to talk about this?

- If only you were a pretty girl… - What's this got to do with girls?

To screw a girl who clings onto you like an octopus…

…what would that be like?

Uncle, let's start.

Over the last three years,

our country's seen a rapid increase in the number of drug addicts.

We know the cause.

No matter how diligently our government watches,

we can't prevent drug smuggling by the Yakuza.

She's the drug mule.

She is the daughter of a Latin American ambassador.

Diplomatic immunity enables her to pass through customs without being searched.

Moving in on her would cause an international incident.

But if we get the goods, we have the upper hand.

So, I informally gathered a squad of six men.

First, we led her to an abandoned area with fake street signs,

in order to get irrefutable evidence.

However…

Well done.

- Keep this a secret. - Understood, sir.

This is a diplomatic car.

Any screw up, and you'll be investigated!

Let's see the diplomatic bag brought from Hong Kong.

These aren't a bunch of hoodlums.

It's goodnight for you.

Commissioner, firstly I will reconfirm the results of the meeting.

Point one: the six police officers are to be unidentified.

Until the case is resolved, their families will keep quiet.

Point two: Narcotics Section Chief Takeshi Hayabusa, who conducted

an unauthorised investigation and got men killed, will resign.

Normally, he would be summarily dismissed, but this is to keep it under wraps.

That's it.

One more thing.

As Commissioner, this situation has resulted from my dereliction of duty.

- Therefore I resign. - But, Commissioner…

Gentlemen…

…the rest is in your hands.

This meeting is over.

Commissioner!

- What a stupid song and dance! - What?

Hayabusa!

He's right.

But we have to keep singing this tune, no matter what.

Until we accomplish our mission.

A former police commissioner that employs illegal means

is no different from the Yakuza.

You're right.

But the Yakuza still have a sense of duty and honour.

It may be illegal, but we can save those people who are on drugs.

And the six unidentified cops and their families…

Hold on a second. That's got nothing to do with me!

I won't risk my life for no money.

Stop acting like a crook.

As a Japanese, you should have some sense of honour.

Hey, old man, when people act too cool…

…they only get hurt.

Ouch! Damn you…

That was my once-in-a-lifetime mistake!

- Next time won't be so easy. - You boast too much.

You bastard!

Ouch! That hurt!

Hey, Ninja, how about you?

- Show me the money in advance. - How much is that?

Two million in payment for the prison break.

I only got 10,000. Advance me 1,990,000 right away.

I can give it to you, but you can't use it in prison.

Prison? What are you talking about?

You won't get off easy for breaking out a death row inmate.

- You're looking at five years for sure. - You're going to sue me?

- You're a disgrace to the police. - Not me. I was fired three years ago.

Not looking too good, Mr. Ninja. Right?

Acting like I owe you because you saved my life.

And you were counting on a two-million fee?

You don't look the type who'd cry over two million.

If we get the narcotics from the Yakuza,

it'll be worth billions.

You're going to keep it from the police?

It's got nothing to do with the cops.

Okay. I'm in.

So what are you going to do with this annoying bulldog?

Brother Sakura, now is the time to make up your mind.

If you live, you can date a pretty girl like me.

Do you want to know what my last boyfriend nicknamed me?

"Octopus".

I'm in!

Right, let's start working. And don't screw up.

What are you looking at?

Never mind. It's not you.

Then it's me. What do you mean?

It's because you're always gawking at my face and fidgeting.

Don't worry about your face.

It's not your face I'm interested in.

If we weren't here, I'd mess you up.

Hey, it's no time to be arguing.

The chick… she's showed up.

Poor thing, she was born a deaf-mute. That's how the Yakuza are using her.

That guy's the New York Mafia's made man in Japan, Mario Mizuhara.

- He makes deals using a woman. - Yeah, all the time.

Being with an ambassador's daughter provides camouflage.

Just like when he went with the Triad's daughter, Chin Ruisho.

It's so profitable, you'd faint.

I think we should dance and keep a close eye on her.

That's a great idea.

Bastard.

If we were someplace else, I'd mess him up!

Stop grumbling.

You and Emi would stand out too much, like some scene from a movie.

Hey, brother… when you say that, I get itchy all over!

The title is: Beauty and the Erotic Beast.

- The drugs are in the bag. - Right. No mistake.

- It's so dark! - How could this…?

It's completely dark, I can't see anything…

- Is it a power outage? - Anyone got a light?

Where's the manager?

What's the matter? Be careful.

Isn't there anybody here? Bring some lights!

Fool! Don't use a light!

My fault. Sorry.

- Ouch! - What's the matter?

Brother, we have a problem. The enemy's onto us.

I'll take care of it.

- That would be impressive. - You think so?

Ouch!

- Don't touch me there. - Hey! Where's the lights?

- Hey! Give me back that bag! - That guy, he took off with it.

Hey, hey! Don't let him get away!

Impressive.

- So, you're of Shaolin ancestry? - Not ancestry.

He's the real Shaolin thing.

Gundara, Ubanisha School.

The Ninja wins!

You don't play fair!

Hey!

We don't have time for this!

Fool. Just look at you sweating. Just a little more, come on.

That damn guy. Next time I see him, I'll kill him!

Hey! Hayabusa!

He's pretty angry.

Hey!

What was that all about last night?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Playing dumb, giving me the runaround.

Oh, you mean with the car?

- The engine doesn't run well. - That's no excuse.

Don't look sour.

You tried to take off with the stuff yourself.

You bastard…

That's… that's… Just give me my cut.

- That's not possible. - What do you mean?

The drugs were exchanged for cash, and the Commissioner took it.

You're a ruthless thief!

So, you think you pulled off that cheap trick?

Hold on. Don't look so scary.

You intend to break my ribs, like that guy yesterday?

You made a fool of me.

You better be confident in your skills.

Ninja brother, my chest isn't as soft as that guy's from last night.

We'll know soon enough how hard it is.

All right, a contest.

Come on, then!

Come on!

Damn you!

Take a moment, and stop seething.

You cheat, setting a trap like this!

The Koga House you grew up in must've been full of traps, surely?

But your "Fist from Hell" is impressive.

If it was fair and square, you'd have pulled out several ribs.

Damn it!

I thought it felt hard… You fixed it!

Hey, let's make peace.

Shut your mouth, you cheat!

What's with you? Our next job won't be trivial like last night.

It's going to be in the billions.

Look, that mansion is Mario Mizuhara's hideout.

His three conspicuous bodyguards have disappeared,

so that means the drugs are no longer there.

The New York bosses won't have them just sitting around.

Soon, they'll be pulling off a big job.

Their safest mule, the ambassador's daughter, won't be available.

Her father's returning home.

Uncle says it's the last chance they can use the blonde mule,

so the Mafia will ship as much as they can.

They'll traffic ten years' worth.

Going by my calculations, that'll be 20 billion.

- That's 20 billion! - Twenty billion…

You can quit, if you want.

Or you can take the job.

Job?

The blonde went to Hong Kong this morning.

Before she brings over the dope, we have to rub out their killers.

That'll make things easier later.

Here, this is the list of their killers.

I'm in!

You fool!

Hey, are you all right?

Thank you.

Don't hurt the pavement.

NEW YORK

They are a terrifying enemy.

Most of our guys have been defeated, and the hideout security is vulnerable.

You came to New York to whinge and complain?

Not at all.

It's just that they are an enemy we've never encountered before.

So? What is your demand?

Permission to use guns. Fists just don't cut it.

Shut up! The Japanese police are the best investigators in the world.

If we use guns, they'll find our hideout for sure. Understand?

If you don't have any confidence, you can just quit.

I have prepared a gift for you.

This is your gift.

Leone of Sicily, and the fighting champion, Lone Wolf.

Real beasts.

Brothers, I can see your capabilities. Let's call it a day.

I still need more.

Once I see blood, I can't stop.

You there, what's so funny?

Blazer Nishiyama.

He killed five in the ring, and was expelled.

These two weaklings are no match.

Enough! If you fight with Nishiyama, you guys will die.

According to this telegram from the Commissioner,

the blonde has a reservation tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 on a plane to Japan.

There's a drug shortage in Hong Kong, because they accumulated it all.

After this job, I'm getting with a cutie…

…and I'm going to have lots of fun.

- If you can find a girl that weird. - What?

Never mind.

This may be more than 20 billion.

I look forward to it.

Light.

You got a big attitude!

Well, you're acting like the boss.

You owe me, I don't owe you.

Hey, hey, hey. Don't ruin the carpet.

You dirtied my trousers, you idiot!

It's hot!

Hey, brother. Here's a handkerchief.

Thanks a lot.

You damn piece of…

Quieten down!

This is no time to be fighting.

We can each earn three billion.

Who do you think that's thanks to?

You bicker, but two million each is just small change.

Anybody moaning about two million…

…isn't a real man!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION — DETOUR

Hey.

- This is for you two. - Thanks

- Knock it off. - Ouch!

You make me sick.

- Stop it. - Let me at least hold your hand.

Hey, you. You're committing an obscene act.

Idiot!

Out of the way!

"Knock it off. You make me sick." Ha!

- We're too busy for that. - Hey…

You ever think what a disgraced man would do?

Sure, sure.

- Just put that obscene thing away. - Eh?

Your fly's open.

Looks keen! Do your job with the same enthusiasm, all right?

Oh, looks awfully keen!

Hope you're as keen to work.

I haven't even heard the plan yet. What's going on?

We blocked the entry to the motorway up ahead.

They'll have to take this route.

We'll force them into this abandoned area.

This is where we do our job.

Sakura, you concentrate on getting the dope.

There's a truck hidden there. Take the dope and get out.

- Koga and I will massacre the enemy. - Massacre?

Why take risks if we have the dope?

If the enemy loses the dope, they'll probably kill each other.

They'll be desperate. Regardless, that's how it'll turn out.

I don't like it.

What if he takes off with it?

He can't take it out of the country.

It's too much volume for him to sell.

If he doesn't show up on time as arranged…

Uncle will immediately mobilise the police.

You'll be arrested before the end of the day.

You wouldn't be that stupid, would you?

Look at my eyes.

I'll believe you… and your sincere eyes.

Well, Emi, time for you to get out.

We'll be waiting. By 10:00, no matter what.

- Then let's go on a date. - Yes!

Idiot!

TOKYO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

They're here.

That's Lone Wolf, the fighting champion.

That's Blazer Nishiyama.

- Blazer Nishiyama? - You'll be risking your life.

Go for it!

The others are also Interpol-blacklisted, first-class killers.

We need every man we can get, and our old man is in Hong Kong?

You guys follow them. They'll probably head to the hideout.

If they don't, call Emi.

If they do, stay in the car and park it where we were before.

If you have to leave the car, put out a hazard flag, got it?

Hey, Mr. Bossy, where are you going?

A change in plans. I'll return with some help.

Later.

So, your life's at risk, too.

Let's see if you make it for that date.

Sanchin form…

Ready!

Again!

- Next! - Yes!

- Next! - Yes!

SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE

Leave! I will not hear of it.

Please listen.

To prevent drugs from entering Japan, I have resigned for the country's sake,

and I am without an honourable job.

And for the six unidentified deceased…

Stop wasting your time! Never enter these doors again!

- Senior… - Oh, Kurayamada…

It's been a while.

I was watching you train. You've improved a lot.

As the successor to the Japanese Kempo Federation,

no one will be able to push you around.

Congratulations.

Senior…

Give me time to change my clothes at least.

I'll show you the results of my diligence… in actual fighting.

You overheard me talking?

You'll be excommunicated.

I can't ignore the Japanese drug problem and the six deceased souls.

- Very well. Then I'm counting on you. - Yes, sir.

Hey, hey, hey!

What's that?

You should use your head a little more.

Hey… I don't trust that Hayabusa at all.

If things go well, do you think you'll get your cut?

Let's split it between us.

Just thinking about it will make you "keen"!

I don't think so.

This is so risky. That guy you don't trust is bringing reinforcements.

Do whatever you want, you fool.

Is that crazy guy for real?

First-class goods.

Circumstances dictate that we might not get any more for a while.

The price will keep going up.

Thirty billion, you say?

I called you wholesalers because I don't want to split it up.

Distribution will be at your discretion.

But it has to be cash.

Payment must be made by noon, in three days' time. All right?

Well, then…

- We'll handle half. - No, a third…

- No, the last time you… - Impossible…

That's a shame, I wanted to smoke a little longer.

Your last smoke?

No one has ever put me down.

This place has a lot of traps.

You didn't need to do that.

It's been a while since I had a worthy opponent.

You'll have a better opponent further down the line.

Come and have a drink upstairs. We've gathered some women.

Women drug dealers don't interest me.

How did that guy get in?

There's a lot of them.

Would you like a drink? Let me help you.

No thanks.

Everyone…

Everyone… I would like to present you with an amusing show.

The show I promised you won't be this boring.

From this point, this is the real entertainment.

This guy challenged the Mafia.

Simply killing him wouldn't be very interesting.

I want each person to kick and strike him.

The person who can hurl him the furthest wins two million yen.

3.5 metres!

6.12 metres!

Okay, I'm next.

I'll try a kick.

Wait!

Hurting an opponent who's practically dead isn't my thing.

Be quiet.

You coward…

That was unforgivable.

I want nothing to do with a drunk like you.

What's your problem?

How do you like Japs?

Nishiyama, that's enough.

You bragged that you'd never been brought down.

Ryuichi, the Way of the Ninja is not some hypothesis.

The Way of the Ninja is the forging of superhuman intellect

and indomitable spirit through years of discipline.

"Blazer"? Yeah, right!

I'll knock you guys out!

You fought superbly. I wanted to duel with you.

Give it back!

Thief! Give me back my laundry!

I can't see.

Senior…

Shall I drive?

- Scared? - No. I'm fine…

But I'm still making payments on the car.

Creditors won't bother you in the afterlife.

That hurt!

Damn. It's already started.

Hey, hey! Why are you leaving me here?

Senior, who's their boss?

He's not here.

I'll leave this to you.

You wait!

Senior!

Please take care of my…

…car payments!

Open it.

You dirty bastard, trying to keep it all to yourself!

Just you wait.

This is easy for you, you're a Ninja. But I'm not!

Man, you play dirty!

Damn you!

Wait for me!

Damn you. You're not keeping it for yourself.

Ouch!

Hey!

Their boss Mario took off.

Stop! Hey, you!

You look pleased with yourself.

But do you think they'll leave without the dope?

- You mean they switched it? - If you don't trust me, I'll show you.

Even an amateur can smell the difference between dope and flour.

Damn it!

They're after us.

It's that crazy guy and that cop.

A crash victim will suffer more damage.

Hey, speed up. More. Faster!

Can't you go any faster?

- Rear-end him! - Moron.

I'm not into rear-ending men!

That hurt.

- Almost. But it's no good… - Watch out!

Stay in, stay in, stay in! Don't move an inch.

What are you waiting for? Get out the other side.

- I can't, I'm trapped. - They're here.

Whoa! Damn it!

Koga, don't hesitate. Get out!

Feels like it went into something soft.

You're alive? It's like finding God!

Even if you kill me…

…the Mafia continues.

Shut up!

The New York Mafioso, made man for Japan, Mario Mizuhara…

…has lost to you guys.

However… you don't get the dope.

What about the money you owe me?

You've only paid 10,000 yen so far.

There'll be other chances.

Like that guy said, "The Mafia continues."

You want me to work for you for free?

Don't make that sour face.

Here you go, brother.

THE END
