Later Yo breaks with the Hori group, with which he has been dealing, takes Ryuji and Gin into his group and supplies them with woman and money.
Another victim of drugs is Keikichi Mishima, once a boxing hope whom Ryuji finds with Fusae, the woman Yo had given him.
Love and shame come to Ryuji when he meets Midori, a sweet and pure orphan girl whom he rescues from the clutches of Yo after the drug boss has killed Fusae and Keikichi.
Angered by the killing of Fusae and Keikichi, Ryuji breaks with Yo who then orders his henchman, Cho, to eliminate him.
