After informing Kiryu that Aizawa was found dead, Kurosawa reveals that Goro Majima had been murdered as well at the hands of the Omi Alliance. Meanwhile, he goes to Sapporo where Saejima is held and tasks Shigeki Baba with ensuring that Saejima is released at a designated period while eliminating the Kitakata Family patriarch.Ĭonfronting Kiryu about how one of the Omi Lieutenants was in Fukuoka to secure their own alliance, Kiryu was led there thinking it was their fault for Daigo's disappearance but Masaru Watase confirms he had no interest in fighting with the Tojo at the moment but was sent to bring Kiryu out of hiding. Assigning him to Yu Morinaga as an oath brother, both men were tasked with killing both Tadashi Madarame and Daigo Dojima in Fukuoka in order to incite a war that Kiryu will be compelled to stop. Shortly after meeting with Daigo, he makes contact with his bastard son Masato Aizawa and conspired with him to give him both the Tojo and Omi Alliance as his legacy. However, such rule was cut short when he learned he had terminal lung cancer and began his plan to take over both the Omi and Tojo, using the impending conflict in the wake of his death to drive it. For the next five years of his life it would be considered the only time he ever commanded authority. The sudden demise of the Omi Alliance's reigning chairman Jin Goda and the sixth chairman after that gave him the perfect power vacuum to seize power and become its 7th chairman. Seeing it as the opportunity to gain power, he had to resort to coldness, cunning and ruthlessness to become the boss of his own family. He once recounted that he was made to take the blame for a botched job by eating feces. Kurosawa would learn that the values of the Yakuza is worthless when it came to handling the murky actions that the organization does everyday. Tsubasa Kurosawa was once part of a fourth rate family belonging to the reigning Kuroha family, living a life of poverty and humiliation. Kurosawa's ultimate aim is to rid the yakuza of men like Kiryu, Watase, Saejima and Katsuya, so that only ruthless pragmatists like him will remain. Kurosawa claims that, while he had to scheme and backstab his way to the top, these charismatic yakuza would often attain more success than he did through their sheer personality and force of will or through their principled leadership. In spite of his claims to be solely business-minded, Kurosawa is primarily driven by the deep resentment he feels towards charismatic and principled yakuza, since he feels he spent his entire career being overshadowed by these types of men. He believes that every yakuza that even remotely shows any sign of "decent" behaviour to be useless to him. He is disgusted at the more traditional styled yakuza that follow their dreams, and bonds of charm, seeking nothing but power and money. Codes of honor, friendship and respect are meaningless, and not much more than a nuisance to him. Kurosawa is the very definition of a more modern member of the yakuza.
At this rate, yakuza will end up as nothing but trash." Know what kind of men flock to a guy in charisma? Useless idiots. When you run a family, it's your job to rule over these simpletons.
