no thx lol
bet
No chance in hell, thanks for the vids though Dank
no, but at least or once, it´s kind of fitting since the yakuza might just as well be behind raid, seeing as it´s basically gambling and designed to exploit the most vulnerable and separate them from their money
@CountDankula "Just log in 7 days in a row until 24th of july" this video is an hour old and there are only 6 days left and in an hour that's only 5.
Yakuza are scary and all but did you hear about that guy who taught his pug to heil hitler? Sends a shiver down my spine! 😨
It wasn’t even his pug! It was his wife’s! He disgraced even common values! The fiend! Ugh!
Shocking. Before you know it that pug will be voting Tory.
Pug salute is the ultimate threat to societay!
dat shit be grossly offensive, made my pussy hurt
I heard they made him a Supreme Court justice.
Fun Fact about Tattoos: While it is true that the anti-tattoo stigma is still very prominent in Japan, there is actually one type of tattoo that Japanese people tend to be okay with: Weeb tattoos. If you get a tattoo of some anime waifu on your arm, Japanese people are gonna think you're so pathetic and feeble that it'll override the discomfort of it being a tattoo, and think you're actually safe to be around.
I'd rather be seen as a criminal tbh
What would they do if u just have a potrait of ur mom lol
@@JR-zi9vj A heart with "mom" on it is like the most inoffensive tattoo on earth in any culture. it just shows ya love ya mom.
@lornbaker1083 I got my mom's initials on my face and people think I'm a theif lol
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie
"Casualties and losses: Over 36 killed in total"
In Memphis they'd call it a relatively peaceful weekend.
Yes but these were "made" men in Japan it's a complete different situation.
Japanese not blacks so totally different situations.
In Chicago, nothing under 100 even counts.
@@miguelsilva9085just can't keep racism out of it eh
36 killed is the kind of good day Ice cubed made a song about.
I confused the words jaccuzi and yakuza and now I'm in hot water with the japanese mafia.

Damn it Carlos.
slow clap
Bah dumbum tiss
I'm amazed that such an esteemed Supreme Court Justice knows so much about the workings of a Japanese crime syndicate.
It's probably from his time when he was just a judge
Maybe he was just a corrupt piece of dung.
@@tomz5704 lol just a judge he says LMAO!!! just a judge.....[laughs hard as i walk down the street]
SHOULDNT THOSE THAT HOLD THE POWER TO JUDGE BE EDUCATED IN ALL THINGS THEY PASS JUDGEMENT ON?
The symbiotic relationship between Japanese police and the Yakuza was the plot of Yakuza 4. Even going so far as to highlight how the Yakuza keep the Snake Flower Triad(Chinese) and Jingweon(Korean) out of the country. Fictional mafias but the message is the same, "It was the police and the Yakuza that rebuilt Japan after World War 2. The police keeping order within the country while the Yakuza keep foreign threats at bay." ~An approximation of what the BBEG monologues.
Is 3 worth finishing? I seriously cant get into it
To me the Yakuza are the opposite of cartels, Yakuza bring order, cartels bring chaos
I like how the Yakuza kept a tight lid on their people to the point that you couldn't even single out one mad lad, you had to make a video on all of them. That is how good the Yakuza has become at policing their people since the war.
Eh since war they do much violent crime anymore though they aren’t even really a criminal organization at this point
i greatly understand the japanese people wanting the yakuza around to keep the blacks in check. Without the Yakuza shibuya will turn into Chicago or any other muttmerican city .
Except the owners of Pride mma promotion
@@ghagzorsometimes theres a few that drip through the tiny cracks
Yakuza is a shell of what they once were
Imagine being a japanese landscaper and cutting off the tip of your pinky on a lawnmower and coming home to your wife or mother and the hospital and saying it's not what it looks like.
If a lawnmower took off just my pinky, i'd feel blessed
wtf kinda lawn equipment are you using lol
It's not the tip of the pinky...
🤣- The Otter did it! ( Japanese are BIG on pet Otters, like English with Jack Russel dogs)
You'd deserve it for sticking your hands in a lawnmower lol.
This supposed death of the Yakuza reminds me of the US and Canada cracking down on the Hell's Angels and how them shrinking has led to a void filled by much more violent gangs from Asia and other places.
The part about Japanese society tolerating the Yakuza reminds me of George Orwell's quote "We sleep safe in our beds at night because rough men are ready to visit violence on those who seek to do us harm." Orwell was talking about more official protectors in the military etc. But societies have always relied on taming their outer edges (Ottoman Janissaries for instance) to act as a barrier to the really dangerous people outside.
As Rust says in True Detective "The world needs bad men, we keep the other bad men from the door"
Janissaries? You should really google that mate... Us Brits are taught about the Ottoman Empire in school, especially the part where we defeated them in WW1
@banneduser5187 I don't see how winning ww1 is relvent to his point, care to elaborate?
Janissaries were the dangerous people for other countries😂 The muslims enslaved millions of boys and indoctrinated them to murder their own kind throughout europe
Janissaries are slave soldiers, often Eunuchs who are taken as children and brainwashed into serving Islam. It's both the ultimate fu and shame upon white Europeans. Simple enough?
Mad Lads Candidate: Ken Eto. Also known as Tokyo Joe, he was a Japanese man who rose to become a member of the Chicago Mob's Inner Circle
@@ffffffgggg4 That's the thing, he wasn't
You forgot to mention that some pigments on their ritualistic tattooing are toxic. For example, red ink can get you sick (vomiting, rash, fever, diarrhea, etc) up to a whole week, which means that the amount of those colors in your tattoo are also a symbol of commitment and toughness.
The concept of recreating the killing of Takanaka in the Yakuza game had to go through multiple layers of scriptwriting, probably get brought to a board of directors, and no one had an issue. It's hilarious.
i had a stroke trying to read this
Sega is a Yakuza-runnned company. Remember how Yakuza are really big in pachinko and arcades? So whats more funny is that the board of directors ran this through actual Yakuza
A shit Yakuza family, because they couldn't keep SEGA's console line alive.
@@j.2512 Wait fr? This is the first time I've heard about this lmao
@j.2512 That is...logically that makes sense, I don't know what all jobs are closed off the second you get ink (keep in mind. Japan only usually yakuza have those. Had been that way for a *Long* time.) This isn't the West where tattoos are gotten by just about anyone of any thing. Let alone a criminal record as if you are even suspected to be yakuza the police can make your life harder without a crime.being committed if you are suspected to be a gangster.
Granted it'd be up their avenue. Though I'd suggest maybe Konamim they for a long time completely said screw gaming we pachinko now. They were lobbying heard for looser restrictions and it did not pan out. They tried to change the game and the yakuza would benefit heavily.from such change.
After visiting Kabukicho multiple times, I can tell you the following: they're not subtle at all, they cooperate with the authorities and they keep their turf safe from everyone, yourself included. If they're going broke, they sure know how to hide it.
they don't need subtlety
Say when was the last time ya visited?
I guess it really is 'Mafia city'
@@AgentDanielCross about two months ago. Now I'm back in my home country, but I'll be back in Japan next year.
I want to clarify that when I said the Yakuza aren't subtle, I didn't mean you can see big guys in fancy suits threatening each other on the street like in the video games.
Instead, there's black cars patrolling the streets. Slowly, but carefully. Everybody knows what they are, and there's a surprisingly low amount of police presence in the area.
There used to be a lot, and I mean a lot, of street "hustlers" that offer to take you to places where you can get drinks, women and even promised drugs in some cases.
@@LichCrypt Remember to thank them for their service.

Not long ago, a foreign streamer began annoying people on the trains in Japan for clout.. he would say racist things and invade people's privacy. It didn't last very long though, as he started to get assaulted on camera whenever he was out and about. I believe he got banned and booted from the country.
Probably a good thing a few fellas in snazzy suits didn't catch him first.

@@HipHopKaschber wer drolld fliegt
@Random_cleans neither did I. Does that make you feel sad?
In my early twenties I was a foreign exchange student in Central Japan. And we would frequent a bar in Nagoya called ID club. This bar was known as a foreigner bar and the owner or manager was a very stereotypical American. Blonde hair big fake teeth very flashy clothing. One evening we were all having a conversation and he was telling stories from his past as he lived in Japan for years. And the conversation drifted towards the Yakuza and he's rattling off some story that involves people being stabbed and all sorts of unsavory activities. We're mostly ignoring him at this point because we figure he's just blowing a lot of smoke. However, about a month later we're all gathered in our dorm rooms watching a local pride fight. It was either pride or k1 I can't remember but I think it was pride. And lo and behold who do we see sitting front row next to some obvious Yakuza? The club owner. So I can't say that I have direct experience with the Yakuza but I at least have experience one or two degrees removed.
Haha I haven't been to ID in years. I know the guy you're talking about.
I watched a Japanese interview with an ex boss talking about the Yakuza driving out foreign organized crime; they don't perceive foreign groups as living by any code, and think they'll treat Japanese people with contempt and no empathy?
Say whereas a Chinese or Phillipino loan shark operating in Japan might not care, supposedly the Yakuza will be more lenient if they know someone they're trying to shake down is poor or has sick family, or might outright apologize and give recompensed.
They sort of see themselves as protecting Japanese citizens from even greater evils from abroad, which you can kind of under...
I don't think many Filipino loan sharks operate in Japan, dude. Usually it's the other way around
@@shaunnichols1743 Yeah I don't think the Yakuza would allow them lol! 😆 Was just giving hyperthetics.
I think they say this just to save face.
Like: "Oh yeah, I battered and beat you, but imagine what THEY would do!"

I guess Japan has simply produced heaps of mad lads.
So glad you like the Yakuza games. They got me out of a very dark place with it's humour, so they hold a special place in my heart.
The Yakuza are very powerful in the middle east. A person I know sold lion cubs to the Yakuza in Afghanistan a couple of months ago. The Yakuza can freely enter Afghanistan and are left alone by the Taliban. The person I know is a member of the Sayyid family tree. The Sayyid family doesnt really get along with the Taliban. The Yakuza even have power in parts of Africa. The person I know described them as "unsettling" but also very "serious". The person talked with Taliban before but never had to fear them.
The Yakuza are pretty much like the Russian and Italian mafias. They're everywhere, just hidden below the surface. You'll probably never meet one, or you already have and they were ironically the friendliest person around, because to them, you're a civilian.
I remember a family holiday when I was like, 10. My folks and I were staying at a top resort in Turkey and one night at dinner, I saw a bunch of dudes in suits. I'd played enough games to know that they were probably mobsters, even did that cheek kiss thing you see in mafia movies. One of them even asked my dad if he was enjoying the resort and made small talk with him.
USA private contractors are waaay scarier than the Yakuza
@@SSD_Penumbra if they actually went away the japanese stock market would tank since they own such a big part of it but nothing comes close of the economic grip the jewish mafia has on international banking and the USA politics
Sayyids are the descendants of the Prophet, i myself am one. It doesn't have anything to do with a special group. You'd have Sayyids within the Taliban as well. And yeah Afghanistan isn't in the middle east.
@@NotUrDJ Yeah arabic countries would have been better. I am not Muslim so dont know why the Name would be an issue or if its just personal. The person told me that and assumed I would understand. I am from the north EU and Christian so I have no clue. I learned from this person that their family tree is related to Mohammed. Would that be an issue? Do the Taliban see your family as actual relatives? The person said because of the situation with the Taliban they couldnt go too far behind the border. Because of the "disagreement". They had an argument, I dont know how to translate it better.
I remember the Tamagochi wars of the 1990s. Absolutely brutal.
@@miguelsilva9085 such carnage. So many Tamagochi deaths on all sides.

@@maxrobeDefinitely one of those states lol
Its really interesting how war, especially soldiers coming home and reintegration into normal society, have impacted organized crime. Yakuza, Hells Angels, the Mexican cartels, etc.
organized crime are just a paralel state. they have their private companies, politicians, managers, armies and their own police. You think Coca Cola and Mcdonalds couldn't enforce violence or finantial destruction on someone that crosses them? Lobbying is just the mafia but legal.
It kinda does make sense though. You have a bunch of shell-shocked, PTSD riddled young men who come home from war and just... not adjusting to modern society. So they either end up going into crime where the brutality is normal, or they just sadly off themselves because the gov doesn't care half of a rat's ass about the young men they threw into no man's land.
Even in premodern times they would often become bandits or mercenaries because they could make use of their skills that way
People also forget that fatherless families make tearaway children. World wars killed all classes and races so nobody was immune to this. My father's brother joined a gang to get a father figure in his life.
That is explored in Peaky Blinders as they were veterans of WW1 with PTSD and shellshock affecting main characters.

No wonder the Yakuza love the Yakuza games so much. Not only does it include their love for karaoke and disco, but includes an actual assassination of a Yakuza leader.
When I was in Tokyo a few years back, I kept seeing these guys who were dressed like Paulie Walnuts from the Sopranos. They were middle aged and always seemed fairly confident and almost gave off an aura of being somewhat untouchable. Always thought they were Yakuza. The high end tracksuits were so pristine with their watches and chains.
There is a young generation of Japanese people who love Mexican-American Chicano culture and they dress like this. So who knows maybe there are old japanese guys who are into Italian American Soprano culture lol
If passerby don't look lay their eye or kept their head low around them, then you know.
@@notani3533 id never dont care who you are
@@KingRa153 Pffftttt... those 3 fat guys in tracksuits would karate chop you into oblivion
The anti-Yakuza law can be felt by ordinary citizens of Japan, too. Every time you open a bank account, credit card, join a gym, sign up to a driving school to hopefully get a driving lesson; you're asked as part of the questionnaire whether you have any affiliation with the Yakuza.
It's a foolproof strategy. Impossible to evade
@@banneduser5187 Japanese government actually has a comprehensive list of most (if not all) members of Yakuza in Japan. Lying on an application would put these individuals in big trouble for both breaking the anti-Yakuza law as well as fraud charges. Huge fine with jail time.
Never would I have thought Majima's yakuza family represented an actual movement of yakuza Rambo gangs.
Japanese are orderly, not because of the Yakuza but because they are Japanese. Japan has not been subject to mass immigration so they have a strong sense of community.

Yeah the last thing Japan needs is a crime power vacuum. Also the Yakuza games series is quite popular in Japan.
Even amongst yakuza members.
I remember reading an article when Yakuza 3 came out and it was basically an interview with two Yakuza guys while playing the game. Its pretty close to real life dealings, only they're a lot more subtle about beating the piss out of someone in the street.

Japan’s government asking the yakuza to run security isn’t too far removed from something America did.
Several years after Al Capone was imprisoned and the feds seized his assets, his personal armored limousine was put into service as the official state car. It was old even then (a 1928, FDR started using it around the time we entered the war), but it sufficed until the Sunshine Special had completed its security overhaul.
Not to mention the precursor to the CIA used the Mafia to secure docks from Nazi saboteurs.
And didn't they ask Lucky Luciano to protect the docks from sabotage during the war?
When the hitmen unloaded on those guys in the elevator i bet at least one of them thought "Fuck, now we have to take the stairs"😅
Very interesting to learn how the Yakuza are a defense line to avoid worst gangsters to take roots in the country.
Meanwhile in the UK the style of organised crime is gone. Crime is now random. The days when English crime families had control over certain areas is gone. Crime is a lot more random now and anyone can be targeted by African or Middle Eastern gangs

Honestly when you read up on what they did after the nukes where dropped in WW2 you realize how powerful they are and how connected culturally they are to the people and society of Japan.
That whole system of feudal alliances never really went away in Japan, it just got printed onto other things. One of them is their corporate culture, one is the yakuza, and the places where one ends and the other begins can be fuzzy sometimes. In the west, feudalism gradually morphed and evolved into something else. Aside from some military technology, Japan sort of went from a "medieval" (which is a loaded word but also mercifully short) sort of military dictatorship to a modern industrial nation in the span of about 30 years.
But they literally aren't and never were. The yakuza are akin to the bloods and crips as far as influence and finances they are nothing compared to European organized crime
@miguelsilva9085 a rose by any other name. I can't speak to how much they're influenced by Confucianism because I don't know, but regardless, it's a holdover from a political philosophy around a thousand years old, since most of what people think of as Confucianism is more Tang Dynasty neo-Confucianism
@@danielmorris7648 yeah you don't know what they deal in. Aka child sex. It's a acceptable thing in Japan and they supply the market. Literally tens of thousands of little girls went missing after the nukes where dropped and where take in. They got more money than you know. Thats like saying a organization that's been around for thousands of years successfully is broke. There's a difference between not being flashy and being broke.

8:00 - "Samurai period" refers ~1100 years of history. Just the sort of specificity I tune in for.
One of the best explanations of not only the Yama-Ichi Sensou but also great in-depth explanation of Yakuza terms.
If you keep crime clean and you don't involve innocent people the police and your average people do not care.
Not that clean. They are heavily into human trafficking.
The American Mafia were pretty disciplined when it came to the use of violence during the height of their power. They mostly kept it in-house & went to pains to limit collateral damage. The more reckless & openly violent members and associates were usually dealt with in-house. Occasionally loose cannons were written off & left to the authorities as a gesture. It’s hard to say exactly when this began to unravel although I’d argue that the wheels began to come off the wagon when Albert Anastasia rose to prominence.
"Everything isn't cherry blossoms and Boba tea." Lol😂

As an American i can say the Japanese will regret trying to crush the yakuza I'd much rather have them then the shit bag gangs we have here
So long as they don't bring in immigrants from sub room temperature IQ nations they'll be alright.
Absolutely. Specially when you factor in the Nigerian gangs and how detested these gangs are throughout the entirety of the African continent.
I will come back to RAID when Dank is made into a Champion in the game.
Dank, Lord Miles needs a mad lad episode or something. He's been missing for 3-4 months and on his twitter a "friend" of Miles (The Taliban) is tweeting out how much he "loves" Afghanistan and that he's completely "safe"...
He’s 100% dead
Lord Miles is the defintion of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I genuinely hope he'll come out of this at least alive, but if we're being honest with ourselves, he's most likely buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in the afghan desert.
I thought it was confirmed he was executed already??? Dat boi DED ded
inb4 Lord Miles establishes a british protectorate thats not under the rule of britain.
There needs to be one after his status is confirmed.
The attempted assassination attempt at a limbo contest made me think of a dark Futurama episode where Hermes Conrad has a hit put on him.
I'm just leaving this here. 'Battles Without Honor and Humanity' a film series that ran from the early 70s to the early 00s. Enjoy them I know I did.
I think that cracking down on the Yakuza is a mistake. Not only were they a strong bulwark to more brutal foreign elements, but they kept a certain aspect of Japanese Bushido culture and tradition alive. What's more, they actually did good work for the community. Honestly they seem to share a lot of parallels to biker gangs in the US. I have honestly a lot of respect for both; they live by a code, they mostly don't target innocents, they do legit stuff, they're a part and parcel of their own nation's culture, and they are a barrier to foreign elements, all things that are less true of the modern governments that seek to wipe them out.
bad take
100%. Even ignoring the Japanese cultural aspects, criminals, creeps and thugs will always be a part of life. Letting them self-organize and police their own groups is a first line of control for low-level street crime, while you have undercover police monitoring the groups and pulling in the reigns when they get out of line and endanger the public. (like bombing bridges or leaving grenades in the streets)
@Peppabot Thank you!

Nowadays, I’m sure it’s safe to visit for a random drink. Back in the day, I imagine you knew well enough to stay the fuck away from there.

I had a run in with a member of the yakuza when I lived in Japan. He took my regular resting face as an elevator door opened as an insult. I bought what I came for and he stopped me and wanted to know why I made that face at him. I said I wasn't making a face but if there's a problem we should go outside. He dismissed me like a flea. Every once in a while the police would raid their offices and there would be protests. It's a weird thing.
i'd honestly wouldn't mind them if they truly keep the africans and middle easterners away
Him taking that like an insult reminds me of a lot of eshays here in New Zealand, they'll just argue with you for doing stuff that's normal.
@@broadkiwi6882 It's like any street punk. They want to feel big and "own" their patch by intimidating others just passing through. It's really very pathetic.
Wait, the Yakuza games described the mooks of Yakuza gangs to a T?
Sounds less like a Yakuza and more like a wannabe tough guy.
I've been binge watching count dankula for months. As soon as I saw this video on my feed I freaked out, started frothing at the mouth while pulling on my pants.
>not while taking off your pants
Prudish.
No the jean burn through the pants helps me get past that finish line. 😊🎉

Why are you such a good story teller? I started binge watching your Absolute Mad Lads in my spare time & I'm hooked...damn you;) I should'nt like you because I cant "see myself" in you,you look nothin like me(isnt that how it works?)Lol! Good stuff man^
Very well told. I actually learnt something there, and I've been living in Japan since 2008.
Hour of gang violence documentary, hi dankula, thank you.
I wish a Japanese film director would remake The Godfather trilogy with the Yakuza. Imagine the horse head scene if it was replaced by Horse Sashimi.
Battles Without Honour and Humanity or the 'Yakuza Papers' series is kind of regarded as just that. They even came out around the same time
Unrelated yakuza film but give dead or alive by miike a try, ending is worth it alone
Battles Without Honour and Humanity and Sonatine are great
I promise you, the Yakuza are not dying. A mafia boss is business man. When the industry changes, a shrewd businessman will change his company with it. If anything, the Japanese are known for being shrewd businessmen.
That wasn’t a tangent, it was just great storytelling.
I think this just strengthens the point that if you attempt to censor something they just go underground and are harder to track.
Holy shit that ad... I feel your pain and laughter Dank.
Would be cool to series about crime organisations through history. Like the yakuza, Hassasin, maffia etc
I'm not gonna lie I liked very much Raid RPG PVP DVD sketch trying to be immersive while Dankula is losing you laugh you lose (sponsorship) challenge.
I can't believe he shot him during a limbo dance. How low can you go.
Sorry.
"Better the devil you know than the devil you don't" is probably what he meant near the end
Anyone else feel like this story would make a GREAT historical strategy game?
Yakuza DLC for Empire of Sins when?
@@robertsteiner4696 Awesome, but I'm pretty sure that game is pretty much dead.
Maybe an XCOM-style 4X strategy game w/ roleplay elements?
@@DragonMaster360 That would be Empire of Sin.
i feel like this story would make a great action fighting game, with a focus on story!
The yakuza literally have magazines and corporate offices 😂 hardly a secret organisation
Plus, they do lots of business with the bastards over at Konami.
I haven’t dived too deep into them but they similar to the American Mafia and intelligence agencies in that for every Al Capone and James Comey we hear about, there are 2000 other people we don’t hear about, if ever.
Nintendo!!!!

The Yakuza families using all their might to make Penny the sexiest character in all of Pokemon
Because the yakuza were never powerful they use the name recognition now to drum up business
Yes, the mad lads must continue

Damn, I was really excited at the idea of one family splitting into two sides of a group. The pen and the sword or something like that. They would complement each other and nonviolently compete as brothers with honor.
A huge win for humanity lost to hubris.
Great true story, well told. You just earned a subscriber.
Remember this, the Yakuza are not vigilantes that help citizens. There is always a cost for their help. They charge a percentage of you business, weekly payments etc. Nothing is free with them and they are not good hearted. Extortion of business owners is their most lucrative money maker, either in Japan or the US.
Sounds a lot like government and taxes except they do what they promise
@@jesperdenbraven1995at least with the Yakuza you know no one will fuck with your store if you pay them...
@John-Stark while it's the opposite with the government
After the funeral of that assassinated boss, his subordinates took his ash, put them in a sake, and they drank it and swore a blood oath for vengeance. It played out like your typical yakuza movie plot.
The origin of the Yakuza are in two very interesting groups Bakuto (gamblers) and Tekiya (Tinkerers) and both contributed different things. The most came from the Bakuto, if only because they had a good deal of organization and did the dirty work of employers. They would go and try and win back the money from the workers on the behalf of employers. For this they were given some privileges not afforded common people. The leader of a Bakuto group could carry a small sword almost like a junior version of the samurai. I did a video about this if you're curious to know more.
They’re most definitely still around. I lived in Japan for five years and never noticed them until a friend pointed them out around my second or third year there. If you walk around Kabukicho in Shinjuku or the main bar area near Kawasaki station, you’ll definitely see them standing around. It really blew me away when my friend pointed them out because they were out in plain sight the whole time, and I just never noticed them.
You've got to do a Mad Lads on Bob Munden, he was a quick draw artist with the title of "Fastest Man With a Gun Who Ever Lived." and the video recordings exist to prove it. His feats bordered on straight up superhuman.
The systemic co-existence in Japan between law, civilian and Yakuza are actually pretty awesome to see and been close to a century of practice.
After the war, Japan was in ruins and somehow, the Yakuzas during the late 40s were booming in cash when they ran smuggling rings in trading with black market supplies and even bribing local US garrisons to give or "sell" them supplies so they can flip it out to the general public and when the Korean War kicked off, many Gumis became transporters for the US forces too in shipping US military supplies like medical and food towards Busan and Incheon.
With this influx of cash, the Yakuza at one point in 1946-1955 were even richer than their own municipal governments thus the authorities couldn't control them as they were severely out of funds to even have weapons and cash flow to combat the Yakuzas so what they did was have a compromise that the Yakuzas would curb the dark side of Japan with their own set of code and laws whilst curbing the sudden influx of foreign gangs that came in during the late 40s like the Triads from China and also the Khangpae (Korean Organized Crime syndicates) from Korea. Whereas the Yakuzas rules the underworld, the normal municipal police force would rule the normal jurisdiction of Japan and the cops would only touch them if they encroach heavily with their dealings into normal civilian side. Things was kept at that status quo for over 5-6 decades only till recently and cops can freely enter Yakuza territory to deal with petty crimes and even heavy crimes without much impedement from the Yakuza factions themselves.
It wasn't only until ex-PM Shinzo Abe started to create a new law to clamp down the Yakuzas and have the cops ramp up their arrests and clearing of Yakuza factions after reports of Yakuza families forcing their debtors who borrowed from their respective loan sharking companies to forcefully clear radiation materials in Fukushima during that nuclear disaster that the co-existence started to waver. Since then, more and more Yakuza families are on the thread of being wiped out and some even speculated that the assassination of Shinzo Abe wasn't by a mad man but in actuality was an ordered hit by one of a collab between Yakuza families as they're disgruntled with him.
Also, the tattoo thing.... It isn't a necessary thing to do it but you're advised to. Full body suit tattoos are a symbol of the Yakuza but that doesn't mean you have to do it. It's up to personal preference and there are indeed high ranking members who didn't do full suits but had other oriental designs just on their backs like Goddess of Mercy, a tiger climbing a rock or what-not.
Besides, tattoos done by dedicated Yakuza masters are NOT to be joked about as Yakuza member themselves can't pick the design that they wanna do. Every tattoo that they got are handpicked by the masters according to their reputation on the street and how "strong" their character are and whatever the tattoo artist picks, it's what it is and how it reflects the person to be once it's flashed out.
Dang, and I kinda liked Abe.
And honestly, forcing debtors to do community work isn't the worst thing criminals do to debtors.

I was sitting in a cafe when it filled with very large suited thugs, two of which were soon engaged in some sort of negotiation about what to eat with coffee. They thought I didnt speak Japanese.
Were the suits comically large?
your lucky to be alive mate
Definitely enjoying these tangents you do, i never knew Yakuza were such a unique blend of crime and justice like they are currently.

Fun fact: as you have said the Yakuza game series has a lot of references to real world events, some pretty obscure and very detailed...
Totally unrelated fact is that the yakuza started off as gambling groups and as such eventually got involved with gambling business and later video games. I'll let you fill in the blanks.
I would like to once more petition for Joan of Arc as a madlass.
Between her time trouncing the English, leading the French and her... interesting stances on heretics of eastern europe, she more than deserves her spot.
She "led the French" the same way the Philly Phanatic captains the Philadelphia baseball team
Also her bff was a serial killer
He hates the French though. Haha
@@bargainhuntbricks420Which is weird for a Scott, but you know, not every man can make his ancestors proud
@@Escalusfr Nobody in Scotland likes the french lol!
32 minute intro. I completely forgot the video is about a gang war. 😂
These make excellent podcasts for going on walks. Love the series Dank!
As far as I know the guys who did those horrible things to Junko were friends to some Yakuza members and they were most certainly going to join it after graduation.
