Japan's Most Violent Biker Gang
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Japanese motorcycle gangs have wreaked havoc since the 1970s. Known as Bosozuku, these gangs have a violent history, raging war against rival crews and cops. Gang members roamed the highways, sometimes hundreds at a time, with an array of brutal weaponry, customized bikes, and distinct crew jumpsuits. Being part of one of these motorcycle gangs was a frantic lifestyle, one that could easily lead to grievous bodily harm, and death.
Youth were recruited from their early teens to join the gangs under the mentorship of an elder. It was of utmost importance to protect the reputation of the gang, to never run from a fight, even when grossly outnumbered.
In recent years, with strict laws and police cracking down, Bosozoku have become nearly extinct. Yet for those who were a part of the subculture during its heyday, Bosozoku will always provide a fond memory of the recklessness of youth.

The former leader's dream is not to become rich, but to provide jobs for former members like him. Such a respectable man.
Basically an ex-bozosoku-leader is recruiting active and former Yakuza members. Maybe we will see them again in the future

They are alive and well in Kanto...I hear their bikes zooming up and down the street at 1130 at night...but only for an hour and only on weekends..they are very polite bad boys.
so they are chaotic good

Don't apply your libtard standards to them. There are yamato.
What about jhoto?
when I visited Japan about 7 me and my mom ran into a "meeting" we thought they were street performers and took pictures with them, very friendly people.
Now that's wholesome.
lol fr ??
@@degpy9173 almost 30 yrs ago in Nagoya, they were just a bunch of guys hanging out blasting music and doing tricks on their bike.
@@dancidchen damn 30 years.
I know that, i heard story bikers gang often occupied a park and making a party there.
Whats cool about it they are not violent to civilian but actually pretty friendly.
the meetup between the ex leader and the current leader is wholesome
i felt that too and the way they still have mad respect for thier ex elders... truly fascinating 🛐
But here in my country, the respect is no longer there..As long that person got money, fame - then there’s respect..
I know this is about a gang and all, but there was a kind of sadness hearing them talk about how the one guy was the only and probably last Narashino specter member ever, and he still rides wearing his gangs uniform.
he's a real O.G. with love for the gang
Makes him still feel alive most likely

He's right. When you've had an extreme youth, it's hard becoming the old one and seeing how the young are living dull lives. Regardless of the wrongs, those memories stick with you and is disappointing to see a lack of spirit in those that follow you.
Who cares about a lack of spirit, people want to live a good, fruitful, and peaceful life. I cannot say that for any of these sorry gang members.
@@sheevpalps3846 That's okay. Not everyone can feel empathy for people they don't relate to. I can understand why you'd want a quiet life, but it wasn't for me when I was younger and I wouldn't change that in hindsight.
@@Pooknottin It's not about empathy from my end so much as it's about simple disregard for those around them which I have seen in a lot of real life thugs/gang members. A lot of their actions have horrible repercussions for innocent people. It's fine craving excitement/a fun life but there's more useful and self constructive ways to apply yourself than through the lifestyle depicted in this video. Of course, people like you consider that an integral part of their identity and that is fine. I'm just cautioning against that dangerous charm of such a life, which is what misleads a lot of youth to a lifetime of regret and waste.
@@sheevpalps3846 I see your point. However, you are dismissing these people as worthless based on a presumption of understanding which you clearly lack. There certainly are sociopaths and worse in this world, but not all gang members and gangsters are those things. I've known monsters, but in my experience they're in the minority and frankly I've known more of them who were living 'fruitful' lives. The worst and most damaging monsters enjoy safety from which to commit their sadistic acts. Many things in life lead you to regret and waste and yes many things are dangerous. Danger has charm. That's not a revelation to anyone.
@@Pooknottinit's the culture we live in now. Young men have lower testosterone levels than their grandpa had. We live in a matriarchal society that punishes masculinity. Eventually things will be tough again and young men will be like yourself again.
The short documentary not only told a story of the bygone era of biker gangs, but it also reveals how the past gang members adjust to their new lives as they are not a part of the gang anymore.
Our main guy, now working as a road worker, a working-class contributing to the society, although admits that his past criminal actions were stupid, he was still enthusiastic when he talked about the stories, as if he was still missing the life he had lived two decades ago.
In the scene where he and another member reminiscing the history, you can see that he was holding his tears when he was looking at the pictures.
He wasn't grieving for the past of the bangs, he was in sorrow for the past of his youth, his energy, and his dream.
This is a story not only of the parish of bosozoku, but also the maturation of a man.
Sorry i don't write very well but I really felt for him when I watched this and wanted to share my feelings.
Well this was close to having me in tears
May I also add. Seeing that 31st leader still representing the Bike Gang even as they're dying out. I can't help but feel a sense of melancholy. Yeah, the police have to do their job. But seeing him still representing the gang, it' quite a melancholic feeling.

Crazy Fact: Tokyo revengers Author was part of the Black Emperor Gang and that's where he got the idea of tokyo revengers manga
Nani the fuck u serious dude?
Bruh, I mean it makes sense since they wear black and i guess the rival gangs wear white? I'm not sure but If this is real then damn
where did u get that info lmao but itd be kinda cool if that was real
edit: dont just fucking say "search in google" or "the author said it" give me the **LINK** 💀 i already tried searching in google im not that dumb not to
edit: found it now 😋🤞 at the time of making this comment + a few weeks by there were no source on it so yeah 🤷 the author himself still didnt confirm it (at least that i know of) so i still have my doubts tho
Im serious
The author said he was also a delinquent before
I actually kinda find this funny because the way anime portrayed the Japanese biker gang stereotype is so accurate.
Xynic especially in BAKi
most places around the world have comic books talk about superheroes in Japan they have comic books that are based on real life events of Yakuza
Weebs, weebs everywhere.
They are nothing like bubblegum crisis. Lol
@Brian Lyons i think that was the idea but wanting to sound more aloof .
I left America at 18 when the military sent me to Japan. I can home for less then 5 years and moved back in ‘96. I grew up with so many guys and gals who lived that life. I remember the nights when Route 16 Yokohama would packed with Bozo and it was really a sight. I do not recall exactly when, but there was a fight near an expressway toll gate and on camera a murder occurred. They showed parts of it on tv. From my perspective, that was the start of the end of those type of events. The public was done with tolerating the nuisance that those gangs caused. The Japanese government made laws that drove the gangs into extinction. When I left in 2019, there were only the sort of cosplay type Bozo and there are very few of them. This video left out the female participants, which takes away from the story, IMO. I know a lot of good men and women who grew up and out of that life.
He looked so sad when he remembered how his elder got killed.
Yea
You think 🤔 ?
Well Yeah.
I like how casually he said " im just a hooligan nowdays "
I chuckled too.
it is not a big deal. everyone can be a stupid thug cant they?
The english translation is slightly wrong, or rather not every accurate. The exact word he used was チンピラ (chinpira) which was translated as "hooligan" but it really pretty much means someone of the lowest or near the bottom position of one of these organisations so it doesn't really carry the same connotation as the word hooligan would imply
@@james.wheate Exactly the translation of it quite odd. Once again because no one will hire an ex-bosozoku to work anyway.
@@james.wheate oh thanks for explaining...I thought its very odd to say he is hooligan but now I understand what he meant
“When I grow up, I’m gonna be a member of a Japanese Biker Gang!”

Exactly! These weeaboos watched Akira for the first time and googled Japanese biker gangs wishing they could be as cool as the characters and found this video.
LOL!
stop attacking me
suhh dude
I was committing seppuku. Sorry lol
Ursine Maximus I like Greasers. I copied the Greaser style and the only thing I do different is wear a black trenchcoat, and I’ll wear tight fitting tanktops to show off my physique.
I’ve got a respect for the Japanese biker gangs, because I’m pretty damn sure they have a respect for American greasers.
It’s dying sadly.
the amount of respect they have for this lifestyle is what makes them so cool
Also their fast rehabilitation. It seemed like they already had morals, just were social rejects, had no path or jobs. It's cool that Japan gives these people decent paying labour jobs after. Most Western societies won't let a convict work for minimum wage even.
So Tokyo Revengers actually is covering everything perfectly.

I feel bad for this man in many ways. He's middle aged and now lives a less than exciting life than that of his younger days we all have that coming to us regardless of the lives we live in our youth. But I think it feels worse when nobody else is doing what you did in your youth I think it gives them a sense that something that you love is dying out and maybe he has some sympathy for the younger generations knowing they don't know what they're missing. It could be being the end of an era I can't imagine that being a good feeling.
I'm Japanese, and I agree with you, ANd he even looks so miserable too... believe that most of us feels shame on this video.
It happens to everyone when u hit 40 you remember when you was 18-25 living life free doing whatever when u got 40 you feel like u wish u could go back to get the feeling

I heard stories about one ex gang bike member becoming a teacher and turned the whole troubled class into a good grade class. He can also single handedly beat every gangster no matter how many they overwhelmed him.

Everyone hyped with Tokyo Revenger. Remember before this, there was GTO.
You're right, but GTO was more focused on the life of the ex-gangster who is now a teacher. Tokyo Revengers focuses more on gangs, fights, their coats, motorcycles, and the lives of teenagers as members of motorcycle gangs. The main character goes back in time to the time when he was young and wanted to be a hooligan, because the girl he loved in the future died because of the gang, so we have some fiction, but we have a more illustrated life of hooligans from motorcycle gangs and all that I mentioned before. We don't have that much in GTO. Hahah, I replied an awful lot to your short comment for which I'm sorry And of course I kind of agree with you as well, because GTO is one of my favorite anime, but with Tokyo Revengers it's just easier to understand that lifestyle and get more details about gangs. I wish you a nice day or night and may the memory of the bosozok, gangs, including anime such as GTO, Yoroshiku Mechadoc, Shakotan Boogie, etc., remain with us. because young people often don't know much about it or aren't even interested in it in the context of the anime itself. : D
@@klejzuh you probably never read Shonan Junai Gunmi which is the predecessor of GTO where young Onizuka and Ryuuji were the legendary OniBaku, the prequel is arguably better than GTO and it’s insanely good especially if you like the delinquent theme
gto prequel more realistic than tokyo revenger
Crows zero
Couldnt get behind the idea of touman just went straight from a bike gang to top yakuza group. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Wow, I taught English in middle schools really close to Narashino in Western Chiba in the 90s. I had no idea this stuff was big in the area. I do remember that pretty much everyone you'd meet in Japan hated the bosozoku and the teachers at my schools were spending a lot of time with the at risk boys (they all had dyed hair - kinpatsu) trying to discourage them from getting into stuff like this. I think even at that age they all understood who was going to get high test scores and go to university (the only way to really get a good job) and who was going to be doing menial jobs for low wages. So I think some of the "bad kids" would see this as the only exciting alternative to a life of drudgery.
"The reason bosozoku are gone now is that Japan is a fully developed country. It won't allow any flaw in the system. Current society will not let the average low-life to succeed at life doing low-life things."
@mule vpn Modern societies are called "fully developed" in reason of their capacity to control and normalize. No one said they use a "soft touch".
@Anirban Chakrabarti I believe it is not that good."A fully developed country won't allow flaws" but in those flaws lives worlds of things that are dying for the success of the developement. That is also bad, isn't it?

This reminds me of how downhill drift racing also died because police were always around. Same thing here with gangs and how they are dying out because of the police. It’s cool how we are able to see the prime of these two eras in anime like initial d and Tokyo revengers.
Not the police but politics who dictate the police what to do
@@7bloodyTears I agree. I read that Japan was modernizing and wanted to crack down on things like these that made their country look bad.
Tokyo revengers without the time travel would be so much better
Fewer people dead. Seems like a win
Honestly, I dont even blame these guys. Japan has such a work-till-you-die society that there is barely any room for people to have fun with their lives. These guys got the chance to be themselves for just a small portion of their lives and its something they will never forget. Most people wont ever get a fraction of it for their entire lives.
but then again, the bike gangs were also with strict represent-til-you-die code, so...
@@valeraanovsk1468till you die? Did you not see the video of the group of dudes retiring?? like what...
@@Johnny350Z dude in the video literally said his uncle was killed bruh... and “work till you die” means to work 120% without almost any freedom until you’re senior, cuz people in Japanese society do retire too. Same with gangs - you have to give the gang everything and always put it first, and obey the strict code
Its not like they didnt commit any crimes🤔
Well, the one you're referring now is different from the present. Most companies now are not like that. There are still companies like that (they call them black companies), but they aren't that many anymore. Most young japanese enjoy a lot more now than before.
Seems like end of an era for them. But you could actually see the discipline and respect every member was showing towards their elder that was something.
Yeah and this type of discipline and respect has been taught in indian colleges also.. thats what called ragging.. and this thing also had an era.. but now it is completely ended up.. you can correlate
Fear is not discipline.
Stfu With your Indian bullshit
I guess that's what people do in Japan
@@BicornioSPA Its not fear, its the same as gangs in Western, elders are seen as a symbol of knowledge, they are respected because of that, its not fear.
The vibe difference of the gang back in the 90's vs now is really huge. They look more free, loyal and wilder back in 90's, it makes me believe the individual members of the old gangs has overwhelming power looking at how tough they were as a group lmao.
Society doesn't need them for any purpose, Japanese government and police showed those OG members that they are capable of wiping out the entire 'gang' anytime.
@@zxcvzxcv6708 Yes, exactly. They existed in a time where their presence was no less than an inconvinience, but as we grew and are more advanced than their era, they just slowly fade into our current world
I recall life in general everywhere being more free, loyal and wilder in the 90's. Everything changed that September Day.
lmao.
Recently I finished this manga called "Bakuon Rettou" about biker gangs based on the author own story in his youth. It was amazing, as if I joined one myself with all 100 chapters of the drama, The brothers in arms, the romance, the passion, the violence, the rivalries, the rejection from society, the police troubles. It has everything.
the cameramen knows well how to shoot like an anime movie
It’s kinda sad because you can see the pain in his face from knowing that the gang he dedicated his life too is dead
Honestly it seems a lot more like shame for the crimes he committed, actually. He would always clam up when being praised for it, and note that he said earlier on that he was deeply embarrassed by them. He couldn't even look the current gang in the faces. Seems like shame to me, which is very symbolic in Japan - moreso than most places.
he says "my criminal past isnt anything to brag about, I feel stupid just talking about it. I went to juvi 3 times." he clearly isnt in pain from missing the gang and shows he is embarrassed by his actions.
@@nonothinGG6 And yet he said he'd go back in time if he could to those days and that while they were frightening at the time he believes he had more thrills from that than anything in his "adult" life or anything the youth these days experience. I agree he is probably ashamed of his past, but also torn because he absolutely loved it and views it as a high point in his life. It is certainly telling that he owns his bike still but doesn't consider himself part of Specter, which I guess is just a "gang" of one now.
There's dates worse than that . Imagine being the fall guy the members secretly pick to get screwed over . Despite being loyal to the group and going out of your way to do things . And next thing you know you either end up alive living miserable or dead . Death is the easy part , living with the regret that's what you don't want.

Damn, that "I doubt nowadays kids really experience the thrills that we had" really hit hard for me, especially because i am that nowadays kids. And i am admiring those guys, not because they did mostly bad things but because they have the balls to deviate from the mainstream. If we see someone weird nowadays we just laugh at them and probably ratio'd them on twitter. Man if i were born in the 90's i'd definitely join those guys. Mainly because nowadays youngsters really are boring. It's sad but it is a harsh reality. Youngsters nowadays really are too busy thinking about this and that that we forget we are youngster and by the time we're adult we already miss the fun of being young. Really appealing the 90's and 2000's generation for their youthful spirit and living their youth to it's fullest. You guys really does have balls. And it is sad to me that those people that was called low life punk are sometimes some of the happiest people even though they have no money and no clear understanding on how the real world works.
It’s funny though because coming from someone that did live a rough life, not like this but I did get up to similar mischief when I was younger, and mainly for the same reason that I didn’t fit in and just wanted to do anything I could to fight against the norm of society, life is much easier now going with the current rather than against it, and alot of these guys would probably agree, the trick is to find your own little ways of rebelling to keep your sanity
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lmao dude before I watched the video I thought the same... They are so nice compared to other violent gang's
Because JAPAN
@@MartinMuriel oh yes Japan has always been a non-violent country ruclips.net/video/_3k4KTThMYE/видео.html
because if they did worse, the yakuza would get involved.
Pretty sure they didn't show much of it. Coz so far they wouldn't document all of it don't u think so?
This documentary makes Tokyo Revengers seem more interesting than it already is and trust me if you haven't seen it, it's a top tier anime and really worth watching.
You should read manga
Just finished episode 10, glad I saw your comment and started watching it
@@aceofspades9845 I'm so glad to know someone watched it cuz of this comment.
@@Ashley-gh5em been a while since I got into the story of an anime like this, thanks
i alr watched it
That subculture was really wild. As a young teen in the early 90s, I was first introduced to Japanese biker gang culture through Katsuhiro Otomo's manga and anime, Akira. Later found out that it was heavily influenced by Japanese biker gangs and thinking to myself, "How cool." Hehe. Good times. Keep on rockin'! 🤟
When he said 'Bikes in Japan consist of kids 16, 17 years old' damn, tokyo revengers was made perfectly!
Well the writer was actually a member of the Black Emperor gang
From where they get money to buy these modified bikes
@@cherry7548 if u watch the anime. They said that the bike normally given by the elder or by stealing.
Obviously??? Bosozkus were runaway tribes, portrayed as a phase that teenagers experience. That's why you retire from your gang after your 19th birthday
teenagers or kids?
These gang members look like contestants in takeshi's castle.
dude did you know that show is really tough there is only a few Winner through its lot of time of airing
Right you are ken
Only difference... you wouldn't tell them that.
bruh that show was my childhood.. damn
These bikers look very lame 😒..... more like a dingu chicken .... how on earth people are scared by these thin flat boards ... no muscle mass no strength.... just bunch of no good lame looking garbage man

My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us,
Let us lie in wait for blood,
Let us ambush the innocent without cause;
12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;
13 We will find all kinds of precious wealth,
We will fill our houses with spoil;
14 Throw in your lot [c]with us,
We shall all have one purse,”
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them.
Keep your feet from their path,
16 For their feet run to evil
And they hasten to shed blood.
17 Indeed, it is [d]useless to spread thebaited net
In the sight of any [e]bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood;
They ambush their own lives.
19 So are the ways of everyone whogains by violence;
It takes away the life of its possessors.
@@Dennis-ew1xs you sir have no idea what a moped is. Those are actually motorcycles, i build mopeds and a moped is a motor assisted pedal bicycle it has pedals. These bikes do not, they are late 80's early 90's 500cc bikes.
Lmao
Lol when the guy from Nina Mona says its from french and means "cute girl" i laughed so hard since its actually spannish LMAO
Man, the main guy in this doc really did have all of the mannerisms of a gangster. The twitching, the way he was fidgeting. The constant snorts and tongue clicks? (I don't actually know what you call the clicking tongue noises he makes). He's probably had a pretty hard life, which makes his dream really wholesome.
@Not An Expert Mountain Climber There are always going to be exceptions to this rule, but most people I've met that snort and spit like this because of massive drug abuse when they were younger.
Drugs
And his pinky finger got cut off too
Japan is amazing, even a motorcycle gang has strict honor system, almost traditional in nature
And people gangs kidnapping other gang members , tying them with a rope and dragging them on the streets to death.

Why are you impressed. What do you think gang members do for money? lmao.
back then a new 2-400cc bike was about 3 or 4 paychecks according to an uncle who breathed 105o from his zukis

2. They were even cheaper back then (lower tech.)
3. Better economy

"Our biggest rival is black emperor"
I think that should be black dragon
I heard that the mangaka of tokyo rev was a biker gang, idk if its true or not tho
Black Emperor = Toman
Although this fact didn't really get proven but the resemblance of Black Emperor's 卍 with Toman.
It’s said that Tokyo Revenger’s Mangaka was in the black emperor before so no big surprise that he took inspiration tbh
nah bestie that's Toman
hahahah i agree seems like Tokyo mangi gang is based on real life story
I'm fascinatedly scared by this since I love Tokyo revengers, I enjoyed it too much that I genuinely forgot that these things really happened in real life(and way more violent). And I obviously feel same for other shows that was based on reality or shows reality, it just blows me away, now I'm scared to watch XD.
This gang in Japan is well more respectful then my whole country.
On camera
@Rays Through Trees, Summer Breeze eastern eu is a hellhole lol
Ah, a fellow American
Some of these guys were ex-Yakuza. Judging by the tattoos and the cut finger (in order to leave the family).
You are right 3:10
The yakuza member and cut finger don’t mean he left the family, it means he did something bad and had to cut one joint of the finger starting with pinky and then serve the cut finger joint to his boss for the wrong he did.
@@georgef1176 no no no
@@Aganaden yes yes yes
first of all yakuza is not a gang, it literally means "gang" so a motorcycle gang is yakuza. It's just that they are often associated with more mob-like stuff and samurai family ancestry because yakuza started after the meiji restoration by rogue ronin. Also, yakuza is not mafia, there are not "families", at least not like italian mafia, there are clans and lords, similar to the shogunate era, but they are not always family related like the mafia. They might use the word family because they are sworn brothers and also the vets call the newbies "sons" and the nooba call them parents, but it doesn't mean everyone in the takanawa clan is a takanawa and they fight the shimano clan because of family rivalry going back generations or something. Also the guy that commented is right, yakuza don't usually cut their finger to leave, they cut it to say sorry. The only way to leave is dead, that's one of the reasons for the tattoos, you're on in this forever, there's no way out. Even after death for some of them.
Basically yakuza means organized crime but the yakuza with suits we know and love won't ever name themselves as such, maybe if someone tells them "oh you're yakuza" they might say yeah sure but they wouldn't normally say "I'm yakuza" even between them, they may say gokudo or address the clan, say "I'm a member of inagawa kai clan"
What I mean is people don't say "hey man I sure love how you and I are involved in international drug trafficking, organized crime and gang affiliation" they'll just say "hey I love being a member of the cartel of sinaloa", and when people ask them if they are "narcos" they might say yeah sure but it would be awkward for them to say "I'm a narco"
The guy that leads through the story is really a poor fella. And it shows.
With his missing pinky he is marked for life. Tattoos can be covered, also they are getting more and more mainstream even in Japan. But the missing pinky marks him as an (ex-)Yakuza who fucked up.
He likely has many problems doing business. It is illegal in Japan to do any business with active Yakuza. That includes trivial things, like renting or buying an apartment or house, open a bank account, applying for a credit card, buying or renting a car... or even getting a job. Anybody who is doing business with him cannot be sure whether he is active or "retired". So they want nothing to do with him. Also they want no association with gang activity or become a target for being associated.
The other guys were smart enough not to "loose" their pinky. So they are just fine, eventhough their past might not be less violent.
But it's good to see he's working to get his life in order and help other to do so as well. That's very admirable.
Interesting. Perhaps stick his hand in his pocket nonchalantly...?
@@mark-ish : that unfortunately doesn't work in Japan.
Hands in the pocket is generally considered as disrespectful, arrogant or plain rude.
For the hello-goodbye-thank-you-bow you usually put both your hands flat on you thighs (front or side)... usually visible. Some people do fists on the side of their thighs.
Hands in the pocket can be tolerated from a very high level expert or artist (diva) or (western) foreigner of high status and coolness.
bikkiikun I’ve seen that they make prosthetic pinky fingers these days for ex yakuza. Do people notice these fake fingers still? Or does this help them reintegrate into society if they retire?
Lol dude, Japan’s view towards ex criminals is changing, as it has to since its population is literally dwindling youth wise. He might not be allowed in a public bath, but there’s ways around everything else..
😧
Normal people: Just another violent gang
Me: That’s Tokyo Revengers
29:46 the real takemichi

😭😭😭
Hahahahahahaha
They really did reference this.
What a legend lol
Black Emperor is referenced as Tokyo Manji Gang in Tokyo Revengers. Ken Wakui has already mentioned that.
It's an odd thing, these gangs were violent, disruptive, and very damaging to those involved, but at the same time you can't help but feel sad at the loss of tradition and comradely. The thing is you can totally understand where these groups came from. It's a bunch of young kids that don't fit in to the strict Japanese society, creating their own groups and becoming a part of something, and rebelling against the society that put them in this position. Regardless of if you can agree with the violence, everyone can sympathize with the desire to be a part of something, to join a team or club. We're social animals we like to be together with others, and for the guys that weren't good at sports or academically successful, this gave them a way to enjoy the company of others like them.
With the rising tensions all around the world, and even more pressure being put on young people to succeed in this world, I wouldn't be surprised if the core essence of these gangs comes back in one form or another. The bikes were good at the time because they could be bought for much cheaper than a car and could get them around town in a loud and rebellious way, but we might see something different in the future.
I don't feel the slightest bit of sadness on behalf of these cowardly assholes, who could not hack life on their own.
Itz Already Lowkey Coming Back. I don't Know what'll be in Japan but In The States you can Feel Something
@@sebastiancalvey1226 seems like the closest thing in The States is the "bike life" idiots who ride wheelies up and down the streets on stolen motorcycles. The most impressive part is that many of the bikes are 2-strokes which means that at least one person in each group knows how to mix gas.🤣 Either that or they simply steal another bike after they grenade the previous one.

Well, with 20-30 bikes behind not so much. Also did you hear when they said that they always went for a fight, 50-100 opponents, they still charge. You could get no respect if you weer afraid (like most people are) and would be in the gutter soon enough.

This is almost sad, like in a nostalgic way. You can tell these guys aren't killers. A bit rough around the edges and criminal activity, yes- but not like "collect a protection fee from your little local business" kind of crime. More like "kids beating each other up after school" kind of "crime".
Honestly I didn’t think they actually dressed like that when I saw the references in anime

Some animes does have them dressed like that, wearing the "Tokkou Fuku" jacket
