Mihai Mihaeroff returns to the city to confront his former student Ian, who killed Mihai's lover, Milena; and Ian's father, a crime boss and Mihai's former employer. Upon arrival, he meets up with Kiri, who was friends with Mihai, Milena and Ian. While Mihai prepares himself overnight at the Buon Viaggio (Kiri's new restaurant), Ian learns of Mihai's presence. The two meet at Milena's grave, just as an assassin targeting Ian shoots him. The assassin wounds Ian and Mihai, who both kill him. Before he dies with Mihai and Kiri by his side, Ian admits he killed Milena because he did not want to lose Mihai, who he saw as "more of a father than my real father was"; and Mihai admits he was afraid of losing Ian. Sometime later, a boy (apparently bribed by the late assassin) purposefully runs into Mihai, reopening his wounds. Recovering in a back alley, he says: "It's not my time to die. Right, Milena? Right...Ian?"[citation needed]
"Hard-boiled" information broker Badou Nails takes an incriminating photo of masochistic crime boss Domino Bourdone. Before hitmen kill Badou, Mihai saves him. When Bourdone learns of Badou's escape and Mihai's involvement, he mobilizes a large force and surrounds the Buon Viaggio, demanding the "secret file" back; Badou, however, cannot negotiate, as the camera was destroyed earlier by said hitmen. Shortly after, Badou runs of out nicotine, and single-handedly defeats Bourdone's men in a berserker rage, much to the surprise of Mihai and Mimi, one of Badou's colleagues. Instead of killing Bourdone, however, he asks for a cigarette. As a result of these events, the Bourdone family's reputation is destroyed. A couple and their daughter is attacked by a sword-wielding assailant. The daughter of the dead couple is taken in by the swordsman Fuyumine, who teaches her swordsmanship. However, she feels no gratefulness and lives to kill Fuyumine, believing him to be the one who killed her parents. After her attempt on his life, Fuyumine names her "Naoto", as she cannot remember her name. Years later, in Dogs's present, Naoto finds that Magato, another Fuyumine took in, has killed the man instead. Enraged, Naoto attacks and defeats Magato, who tells her that a "Naoto down below" is her parent's true killer. She sets out to find the original Naoto using Fuyumine's katana. Heine Rammsteiner rescues a young, winged girl from possible prostitution. Melvin Scrooge, the brothel owner who is after the girl, kidnaps her from Heine's motel room. He also shoots Heine, supposedly killing him. Heine recovers shortly after, and takes Badou along to attack the brothel. Badou attacks anyone he finds in the building upon running out of nicotine. In the disturbance, the girl escapes. Scrooge goes after her, encountering Heine. Even with fatal wounds, Heine kills Scrooge, and takes the girl with him to Bishop's church, where she is given a Gothic Lolita-style dress. Heine learns that the girl, called Nill, does not cause an emotional breakdown upon contact with (on account of his abnormal gynophobia). |

Heine and Badou assault a brothel as a job from Bishop, with Heine healing quickly from a gunshot. They are given an overtime pay for rescuing young girls with animal features, much like Nill.[14][15] This leads her to Heine and Badou, the former of whom gets kidnapped by a crime family. The crime boss threatens to turn Nill into a prostitute unless Heine joins his group. Meanwhile, men from the crime group attack Bishop's church, where he, Nill, and Naoto are located; their arrival leads Naoto to defend Nill. Heine is taken over by "the Dog", ripping off part of the boss's cheek with his own teeth. He then proceeds to attack the other gang members, allowing the wounded crime leader to escape. Before Heine can go after the car, Giovanni Rammsteiner appears, shooting him in the stomach. Two of Giovanni's "siblings", Luki and Noki, go after the crime boss on Giovanni's direction.
