Akira and Akira

Yamazaki wants to finance the factory, but an executive rejects the proposal. With the division struggling for more financing, Kaido proposes a plan.

Kaido’s father Kazuma asks him for additional funds to prevent a buyout from another company. Meanwhile, Yamazaki is demoted to the Shizuoka Branch.

To finance a resort, two companies in the shipping conglomerate decide to switch banks. Kaido voices his concerns about a new venture with his uncles.

When Kazuma gets ill and collapses, the shipping company is unable to select a new leader. Meanwhile, Kaido's uncles devise a plan to get more power.

Ryoma is chosen to lead the company. As work on the resort begins, Yamazaki and Mizushima discover he’s signed an outrageous contract with his uncles.

Taking up a new position, Kaido struggles to deal with the resort's debt. Yamazaki works under Kaido, managing operations with Mizushima.

Yamazaki is turned away by Dainichi Beer, while several deals fall apart under Kaido. Tensions on both sides rise as the two Akira's finally face off.
