Jingi 17: The Beast of Killing All
Miss Hotetor was killed in the sand group Shima. Hitoshi Kamibayashi, who rushed to the scene, was hit by a fierce shooting by a man in a black leather coat. It was Jin who responded, but he let the man escape. The sand group was struck by the anomaly of shooting 30 bullets at one woman. At that time, the young head of the Kyushu Genryukai is killed. Sakai, the chairman of the Kanto Ichienkai, orders the extermination of Sakoda, a former Genryukai executive who attacked Hitoshi and Yoshiro. And that Sakoda was undoubtedly the man in that black leather coat.
