Kakihara's desperate search leads him to encounter a disturbed individual named Ichi. Ichi is a socially repressed and psychologically tormented young man who possesses an inner alter ego, known as "Ichi" or "The Killer." Ichi's alter ego is a sadistic killer who can unleash levels of pain and brutality that surpass Kakihara's wildest imagination.
As Kakihara delves deeper into his quest to find Anjo, he becomes increasingly fascinated and drawn to Ichi's abilities. Meanwhile, Ichi's traumatic past and psychological state are slowly unraveled throughout the film. It is revealed that Ichi has been manipulated and controlled by a mysterious figure named Jijii, who has been encouraging Ichi's violent acts.

Kakihara believes Ichi may have information regarding Anjo's disappearance and becomes determined to test Ichi's capabilities firsthand. This leads to a brutal and sadistic cat-and-mouse game between the two, with both characters pushing each other to their limits.
As the film progresses, the violence escalates, pushing the boundaries of gore and becoming increasingly disturbing. Alongside the main story, subplots and intertwining storylines involving other yakuza members, detectives, and sadomasochistic elements are explored, further adding complexity to the overall narrative.
