Tamotsu takes Jun out to reminisce about the past. The story he tells is of the "Climbing Dragon", a young yakuza lieutenant, and his wife, Misumi, who he had a child with.
Kusaka had been a thorn in 
the Haruhashi Group's side,

Er war ohnehin der
Haruhashi-Gruppe ein Dorn im Auge,
car la mort de Kusaka leur enlevait
une belle épine du pied.
