Synopsis:

Years after the events of the original trilogy, the series shifts focus to Kyosuke Murata's son as he navigates a world shaped by his father’s legacy. The narrative follows the evolving dynamics of Kyosuke's adopted family, who find themselves increasingly entangled with the local Yakuza, a power structure deeply intertwined with their community. As the son faces legal repercussions, the bonds within the group are tested and reshaped.

The story explores themes of familial responsibility, identity, and the consequences of inherited legacies. Set against a backdrop of urban realism, the anime depicts the complexities of loyalty and betrayal within a close-knit circle facing mounting pressure from external forces. It’s a character-driven narrative that examines how individual choices impact collective destinies in a world where past actions continue to reverberate.
