How many did I kill? I remember about fourteen, but beyond that, I've no idea. Unbound by past or future, this man lived utterly in the present. His fierce, half-life is depicted here. The legendary hero most feared by Kyushu's yakuza—his spectacular life story is resurrected now!

In the early hours of August 5th, 1928, a baby was born into the family of the gang leader, Gizo Ato (played by Ryuutaro Hara) from the Ato family in Honjo City, Akita Prefecture. This child would grow up to succeed as the second-generation leader of the Joto Kansan family, eventually unifying and ruling the Tohoku tekiya (street vendor) industry. The story of the Tohoku's supreme leader, Giei Ato (played by Mikio Osawa), begins with a life full of turmoil...

After completing his journey of self-discovery through Osaka and Kyushu, Ryū Shimaoka (played by Yasukaze Motomiya) returns to his hometown of Awaji as a fully-fledged yakuza. With the backing of Hosono, a senior member of the Yamagami-gumi, Shimaoka and his youthful comrades form the Kyōkotsukai and align themselves with the powerful Okada-gumi, which controls the island. As Shimaoka rises rapidly through the ranks, tensions flare when the rival Kurosaki-gumi brings in a dangerous outsider from Kobe, shattering the fragile peace that once divided the island. This is the gripping story of a man born and raised in Awaji, who walks the path of the yakuza to protect his home, and the turbulent life he leads!

In 1985, during the "Yamasei Conflict" in Kitami City, Hokkaido, Kazuharu Hashizume (Jiro Okazaki), leader of the Hashizume group under the Kamo faction of the Seiwa-kai, was gunned down by a member of the Tsuzuki faction, part of the Iwai group under the Inahara-kai. Despite this, the Seiwa-kai, the parent organization of the Hashizume group, pushed for a truce with the Tsuzuki faction, which had ties to their current rivals, the Yamaga group, to prevent further escalation. Unwilling to accept this decision, Kohei Nagamine (Yasukaze Motomiya), the Hashizume group’s lieutenant, leads his men in a defiant act of "truce-breaking," prepared to make enemies of yakuza across Japan.

Once, there was a lone yakuza feared as the “One-Eyed Dragon.” His name was Seiji Moriya (Yasukaze Motomiya)—the man who would later become the first chairman of the Great Japan Kokusui Organization. This is the story of a young Moriya, still just a street thug, who lost his left eye yet never lost his will. Through encounters with mentors, family, and comrades who shared his ideals, he rose like a dragon through the turbulent world of the yakuza—staking everything on his conviction to revive the spirit of the Great Japan Kokusui Organization.

In July, Showa 33 (1958), Seiji Moriya finally succeeded in rebuilding the Great Japan Kokusui Organization. With the banner of “Anti-Communism and Patriotism,” he threw himself into various nationalist movements. At the same time, Moriya stood at the forefront of the yakuza world—stepping in to mediate a full-blown conflict between two powerful syndicates, the Tsuruhashi-gumi and the Kyokugo Yozakura Family. The legendary “One-Eyed Dragon” once feared by all—this is the story of his unwavering conviction.
