It’s 2017 and it is finally time for Outrage Coda and for Otomo to find some peace. By that time and straight after the assassination of a government official, the same corrupt policeman who arrested Otomo in Outrage decides to release him – apparently he survived the attack – and sends him to mix up the cards and create more turmoil among the Sannos, with the help of the Hanabishi, now his new superiors.
No, later in 2014 things were Beyond Outrage and the growing power of the Sannos worried their western Japan rivals, the Hanabishi family. Everything went south, there was a change in leadership at the highest levels of the Sanno family and Otomo was framed, arrested and victim of an attempted murder in prison. In 2010 it all started with Kitano as Otomo, a lower rank yakuza boss in the Sanno criminal conglomerate, an underground empire in eastern Japan soon to be shaken in its roots when the Ikemoto clan, where Otomo belongs, was appointed to erase their sworn brothers at the Murase clan.
There’s no doubt this trio will hardly be remembered in all his intricacies, a literally outrageous labyrinth of growing scale and frozen ambition, yet, despite being not even remotely as good as Beat Takeshi’s best movies, it won’t be easily forgotten, at least not until this final milestone got released.
I challenge you to find a more difficult saga to follow than Takeshi Kitano’s Outrage yakuza trilogy, which just last year reached its third and final (maybe) chapter, Outrage Coda. Kitano’s yakuza trilogy’s final chapter gets elegantly chaotic…
