What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The title and Nikkatsu production context point to an intensely stylized continuation of Tetsu's criminal world rather than naturalistic crime drama.
Tetsu is identified as the central returning figure, and the Tokyo drifter premise foregrounds displacement and outsider identity.
The subtitle explicitly links the sea, blood-red imagery, and the color of love, while Chiharu is positioned among the principal characters.
The title marks the film as a continuation and returns Tetsuya Watari as Tetsu, reinforcing serialized yakuza character mythology.
