Challenge to Ambition: Chapter 2 Trailers

Ōtani Ryūzō (Ryu Daisuke), head of the Ōtani-gumi within the Tōdō-gumi, is stripped of his position due to the scheming of Serizawa Daijirō (Kawano Taro), head of the Serizawa-gumi. With Serizawa taking over as the new wakagashira, the Tōdō-gumi rapidly transforms into an economic yakuza group. They begin extorting indiscriminately under the guise of “regional revitalization association fees.” Even the store run by the wife of Mikasa Yūji (Musashi Ken)—who is still serving time—falls victim to this ruthless scheme. Osaka’s Minami district is thrown into chaos by Serizawa’s insatiable ambition. And so begins a new yakuza war, fought in the name of old-school ninkyōdō and honor!

Reviews
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
