Shin Jingi naki Tatakai (New Battles Without Honor and Humanity)

[Machine Translation] The real-life duo of Bunta and Fukasaku sharply expose the reality of a group of people who lost their faith in the endless struggle for power! The first installment of the new series "Battles Without Honor and Honorless", which is a kind of postwar Japanese backstory, is a bloody chronicle of the "Hiroshima Yakuza War" that began just after the end of the war and lasted for nearly 30 years. Set in Kure in 1959, the film focuses on the Yamamorigumi's internal conflict that lasted for about a year, and exposes the brutality and ugliness of the yakuza organization. Director Kinji Fukasaku, who has always pursued violence and humanity in his films, says, "After making the previous five films, I was intrigued by the interesting characters, so I delved into these characters more deeply this time than in the previous films.
