THE YAKUZA PAPERS 5: FINAL EPISODE

After a police crackdown, the Hiroshima and Kure gangs have formed a massive, multi-family coalition called the Tensei Group, seeking a way forward into the 1970s as part of Japan’s economic bubble. But old habits die hard, and when rivalries surface again they bring the promise of more bloodshed.
