== Plot ==
After defeating Nishitani, Tsuruno puts the Kijin Clan men in line to allow Kiryu to escape. 
In an effort to lure Nishitani out of the Castle, Kiryu goes on a spree of fun around Sotenbori to attract the Kijin Clan's attention. Though they are successful, Nishitani's whereabouts stay unknown, prompting Kiryu and Tsuruno to seize the Castle in Nishitani's absence. An angered Nishitani calls Kiryu to meet at a golfing center in Sotenbori, though it was a trap by the Kijin Clan to take out Kiryu. Fortunately a masked Shishido arrives to assist Kiryu, stating that Tsuruno had ascertained Nishitani's location. 
The two head out to Nishitani's location and storm his warehouse base, with Kiryu ultimately entering battle with Nishitani. With Kiryu's victory and the building now burning, Kiryu asks Shishido to bring the unconscious Nishitani out, but Shishido stabs him to death instead. Angered by Nishitani's death, Kiryu confronts Tsuruno and Shishido for making him an accomplice to such a plan, to which Tsuruno and Shishido retort with their own personal reasons for wanting Nishitani dead. 
Meanwhile Nishitani survives his stabbing and escapes...
