Background[]
Wakayama and Nakazawa met at a gambling den, where Wakayama saw Nakazawa rolling the dice and was charmed by him. He tried to get Hime to work for him, but was turned down. Eventually Oyabun won Nakazawa over with his animalistic charm. Hime betrayed his own group and ran away to Wakayama's place, where they spent a steamy night together. However, some Yakuza pursuers were already outside… [1]
Some time later Wakayama was captured and put into Abashiri Prison where he shared a cell with Waichirou Sekiya and another prisoner. Sekiya gave a bowl of miso containing poison to the other prisoner, killing him.
This incident caused Wakayama to get furious at Sekiya but Sekiya tells him that since he is a yakuza boss, it is no wonder that luck is on his side. Wakayama could only glare nervously as Sekiya admits that he enjoys watching other people's fortune play out and that he has killed plenty of people with terrible luck.
