The 108 Dragons ( 百八竜（ハンドレッド・エイト・ドラゴン）, Handoreddo Eito Doragon) is a Chinese Mafia that rose to prominence in the 1970s. It proves not as easy as that, however, as they must contend with challenges to the leadership from Bái-Yá Shàn, the granddaughter of the leaders of the 108 Dragons, and attempts to destroy the Dragons from other underground organizations. He is given the Chinese name Lóng Tài-Yáng, and Emu is renamed Hǔ Qīng-Lán, as both pass the tests given to them. The heads of the 108 Dragons decide to name Freeman as their heir.
Instead, she accompanies him back to the 108 Dragons, where he tattoos her with tigers and they marry. Freeman takes her to the hospital and tells her to meet him at Hinomura Kiln, where he intends to part with her. One of the yakuza attempts to enter Emu's home and force her to disclose the name of the killer, critically injuring her. The killing she witnessed was of a yakuza boss, however, so the yakuza want to find her so that they can find the killer. He grants her wish, but finds he cannot kill her and they fall in love. She asks for a favor before he kills her - to make love to her, so that she will not die as a virgin. When he does so, she tells him that she is tired of being alone and wishes to end her life. Knowing he must kill her, she paints his portrait and waits for him to come. One of his killings is witnessed by Emu Hino, a lonely and beautiful Japanese artist. He is given the codename "Crying Freeman" as a result. Subjected to forced hypnosis, Yo is effectively brainwashed into acting as the 108 Dragons' principal assassin yet - cruelly - is permitted to remember his innocent past at the moment he kills, shedding a tear unconsciously each time that he does so. Yō Hinomura, a Japanese potter, comes into the possession of some film showing an assassination by an agent of the 108 Dragons, a powerful Chinese mafia. Crying Freeman has also been adapted into three live-action films: two in Hong Kong in Cantonese and a French-Canadian production in English.
The story was adapted into an anime OVA by Toei Animation, released from 1988 to 1994.
