Plot – Spoilers:
The first in the Angel Guts series follows a biker gang whose pet pastime, besides riding their Yamahas, is raping young women who aren’t past their expiry date, as one of them thoughtfully puts it. They’re united while raping, but there are cracks including leadership issues and the impotence of one of them.

Among the virile ones, Kawashima is saddled with family debts and caring for his little sister. At home he’s nice to her and works regularly at a factory, but with the gang, he’s violent and insists on always going first with the women. His rivalry with the other leader in the gang intensifies when Kawashima insists on protecting a young girl from rape, possibly because she goes to the same school as his sister. He takes a liking to her but the pressures of maintaining his machismo within the gang are always lurking.

Angel Guts attempts to confuse the viewer at one point by trying to feed romance into rape through the use of music and aesthetic shots. The series was based on the manga by filmmaker Takashi Ishii.
