In Black Angel, a yakuza rises to ultimate power over the criminal underworld by marrying the daughter of a mob boss he just murdered. Only her half sister, a vengeance-fueled woman who calls herself “The Black Angel” can put a stop to his reign.

In Black Angel 2, a new female assassin is tapped to kill a powerful mob boss. However, she’s stopped by his bodyguard—the same man who saved her from a violent rape years earlier. She manages to escape unharmed, but is once again ordered to complete the job. While she’s balancing her duty with her loyalty for the man that saved her, another woman named Mayo decides to step in for her own reasons.

In Seijun Suzuki’s Pistol Opera, Miyuki Minazuki (Makiko Esumi), an assassin known as “Stray Cat” is tasked with killing a number one ranked assassin called “Hundred Eyes”. [Watch trailer]
