Synopsis
Yakuza loser Akutsu Jouji time-travels to 1983 to rewrite his tragic life with 10 years' wisdom.
Shinjuku, 1983. A member of the Kaeda Yakuza gang, Akutsu Jouji, has lost in a brawl with a university cheering squad, and begs for forgiveness through bitter tears. Since then, nothing has gone well in Jouji's life, until 10 years later in 1993, his friend was ordered to kill him, and as he ran away he killed himself, ending his miserable life. But when Jouji opened his eyes, he was in Shinjuku in 1983, at the fight with the university students that caused things to go wrong. Now with ten more years of memories and experience, Jouji repels the university students with spirit and wisdom. Now he swears to wear a gold emblem around town, and begins his life anew.

- 8/10 “This was a decent OVA, just two episodes and kinda makes you want to see more, but it was entertaining. Story: I liked it, a deus ex machina at the start, but from there we get a interesting story...”
- 9/10 “This is only anime I can find that actually tackle the Yakuza seriously (That has been translated), and boy is this a good one for that. It's unfortunate that this never really gets off its feet...”
