some yakuza have cut ties and became an honorable citizen and trying to keep off the radar. there is a guy who was a former yakuza, now became a preacher
A yakuza is more likely to become born again then someone who was raised Christian their entire life. The apostle Paul was kind of yakuza (in terms of persecuting) like before God turned him around into a good guy.
@@Mr-pn2eh no, apostle Paul was the son of a pharisee who was on his way to become a pharisee, as well. So that would be a high ranking citizen in society. However, he was notorious for partaking in and condoning of slaughtering Christians. Love what God did to him. Paul is my fave apostle. He took a wretch like him and saved him. ❤
@@goosieschmoo8239neither was apostle Paul a Pharisee son and was going to become a Pharisee but he was from a religious Jewish background not Pharisee. And he was persecuting the new Christians because they were getting converted from Jewish to Christianity, he was persecuting because of his Jewish faith. He was follower of Jewish religious leaders the priests and teacher of law. Don't ever compare Apostle Paul with these evil gangs.

I've heard they have orbital weapons , can emit weird superhuman energies and call upon weird friends that range from a naked madman to cats that turn into tigers and they even fight against giant zombies , aliens and literal gods .... definitely not the sort of people to mess around with.
What's interesting is that the Yakuza families actually have a lot of rules, like that you're not supposed to harm innocent people. But lots of Yakuza members don't actually follow these rules, so they have a very bad reputation as a result.
I'm halfway thru this game rn i used to play as a kid a yakuza 1 v 1 game with my freinds and now yakuza 0 chapter 10 extremely good game especially the story and cutscenes
I heard the guys behind the Sega Game series actually worked with former or current yakuza members to put as much realism (in the story lines) as possible but changed the names of the families and whatnot to protect their identities (makes sense to do so). This is just what I heard I don't know if it's true

Yubitsume ((指詰め) or 'finger shortening', specifically the tip of your pinky in the Yakuza signifies atoning for one's mistake or actions. The offender then wraps the severed joint and submits the 'package' to his oyabun or immediate boss. Also it's not impossible to leave the Yakuza but it is hard former crime syndicate members are struggling to find jobs after putting the yakuza world behind them. In the decade ending in 2020, some 5,900 people were able to leave crime syndicates with the help of police and others, but only 3.5% of them went on to find work.
Your explanation misses why they cut the pinky?🤓 That sir comes from the fact that your pinky is needed to properly yield a samurai sword🤓 The pinky is used to balance the sword
@@sheevpalps3846i think hes talking about that woman who got kidnaped and raped by 500 man everyday she died and they borrowed her in cement, all this because he rejected a guy that was from a gang i think it was yakuza idk
They don't really do the cutting finger thing and tattoos anymore, way too obvious for the police Same the legal businesses are still there, yakuza groups are legally declared associations that pay taxes (the Yamaguchi-gumi is one of the biggest taxpayer in Japan)
I like how even people who straight up work outside the law still pay there taxes ... Truly this world is a fucked up place if EVEN CRIMINALS ARE AFRAID OF THE IRS
Indeed, yakuza usually don't screw around with civilians, both due to legal repercussions often being more severe, and due to it being part of most of the families' code
You do realize they aren't thugs.... Right? There just normal people who work outside of the law because they don't believe the law is really doing it's job... The fact there are Yakuza AT ALL is proof there existence is at least in some way justified. They are not mean unless your an asshole who deserves to get shit on.... Think of them like that 1 kid in class who was always bigger then everyone else who always protected the nerd and would jump in a fight to protect the nerd when fights break out. The teachers don't like that kid breaking the bullies nose... But the bullies absolutely deserve it... There actually pretty cool people to hang around and even better people to make your friends as you know they won't tolerate someone fucking with you. Some of them do get out of line tho sadly. So as much as I respect them I don't believe all of them are justified in what they do... But at there core there just bullies who bully other bullies. Which is kinda cool
@@yamanocchi4876Well they personally don't, but they hire people from countries like Nigeria to trick people (Mostly tourists) to go to a "Bar" to drink "Beer with discount" and eventually it turns out to be a small stripclub in a appartment, you will be the only visitor in that "bar" and they lock the door, they mostly have 2 big guys as security and 3-4 girls to "please" you, even if you didn't ask for that. They will also order beer and eventually you have to pay for their beer, with prices that are crazy (most of the times) you have to pay, otherwise they take you hostage until you finally pay. So Yakuza members don't do it personally, but they are the reason that innocent people are treated bad.
@@LeoneYamada IDK.. I feel like organized crime is never good, maybe morally grey BC by trade crime organizations tend to pray on the weak or on those who’re struggling in life. I don’t think they’re monsters at all and I’m sure they can be chill. I also understand that for some it may be all they know but that doesn’t excuse what some of them do as is the same for similar crime organizations all across the world.

Barely a dozen shootings a year in Japan?! In Sweden, we have gone from the safest in Europe to the worst... 2022 we had 391 shootings which led to 107 injured and 62 dead, in a country with less than 11 million people. In 2005, the number of shootings and fatalities were only a fraction of today's situation. :(
All except for maybe number two are not out of the ordinary. I just can't seem to find a connection between my pinky and how sincere I am about any situation
If only real life Yakuza were like Kiryu. But yeah, the Yakuza are a dying breed of criminal. The Japanese government has been coming down HARD on them over the past three decades. They used to have free rein, they practically owned the government. But now they’ve been decimated by Anti-Yakuza laws. I’m interested to see what the Like a Dragon franchise will do about this seeing as how the games are caught up with modern times. RGG already heavily involved a lot of the anti-yakuza stuff in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. But thinks have gotten even worse for the Yakuza since then. Can’t wait to see what they do with that.
I see the 60s was the golden era for all Mafias lol As an Italian I have to give the Yakuza respect and credit. These guys know how to keep their mouth shut, sadly some of us Italians have a big mouth and talk to much.
