This film takes up where its predecessor left off with "Yukiko Eguchi" (Yumiko Nogawa) having abandoned the gambling profession and now working as a masseuse. To her surprise, she suddenly sees a man bearing a striking resemblance to her former lover running to escape from two gangsters who are chasing him. Only minutes after hiding him the two men enter and after looking around very quickly depart from the massage room. It's then that she learns that this man goes by the name of "Seiji Asano" (Hideaki Nitani) and that he has only recently been released from prison for killing a man who belonged to a rival Yakuza gang. He then goes on to tell her that because of the death of his leader his former Yakuza clan has been essentially dismantled and their territory taken over by another Yakuza gang-and he wants to return this territory to his former leader's widow. What he doesn't realize is just how dangerous this mission will turn out to be. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that, although it was a solid film for the most part, it didn't seem to have the same cutting edge as its predecessor due in large part to several similarities with the previous movie. That being said, however, it still managed to pass the time fairly well and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
