The Fall of "Kenji Sato": Osaka's Wounded Dragon In Osaka, specifically in the Umeda district with its ever-present skyscrapers, lived a name that commanded respect: Kenji Sato. A fabulously wealthy businessman, some called him the "modern shogun" for his absolute influence in real estate and politics. Kenji believed that the weak were merely debris to be trampled underfoot to build the glory of the powerful. Betrayal in Dotonbury On a tumultuous night, Kenji decided to move around without his usual bodyguards to finalize an "under-the-table" deal. He carried with him a black envelope containing property records for entire neighborhoods in Osaka, and confidential documents that would shield him from any legal repercussions. As he crossed a quiet back alley away from the neon lights, he was surrounded by a group of "new Ronin" (hired criminals). The humiliation: Not content with stealing from him, they wanted to shatter his legendary image. They broke his legs to ensure he could never rise again, and inflicted blows that left his body completely battered. The plunder: They tore out the black envelope that represented his financial and political "soul," leaving him submerged in a pool of rainwater and blood. Departure: They left laughing, believing that his internal injuries would kill him before dawn. Pride in the Mud Kenji now lies in the dark alley of Shinsaibashi, where neither the music of the bars nor the noise of tourists reaches. He who used to wear Keaton suits specially made for him now finds himself glued to the cold, dirty asphalt. The heartbreaking scene: Kenji tried to reach his broken hand toward a nearby trash can to make a noise, but his body failed him. His eyesight began to weaken, but he spotted a stray cat looking at him; at that moment, "Master of Osaka" realized that he was now less than that cat in the eyes of the unforgiving city. Despite his broken ribs and difficulty breathing, his mind still burned with rage. He wanted to survive not just for the sake of life, but to retrieve the "black envelope" and burn those who dared to touch his shadow. "In Osaka, whoever falls into the wrong alley... is washed away by the rain before anyone hears him."
