I'm just imagining a giant building with Yakuza Evil Incorporated on it.

I thought yakuza was just the silly game with the karaoke

Yakuza are also very talented singers, dancers, toy car racers, bowlers, arcade game players, etc

"Yakuza didn't actually make Japan safer, they just made it seem safer."

One failed heart surgery on a Yakuza boss and the whole thing falls apart.

The real reason the Yakuza are being shooed out of society is because Kazuma Kiryu is now cleaning up the streets.

True story time: I was working on a project for the Navy back in 07. One night I went out to this club with a coworker of mine who had been in Japan a while. It was the type of club where you sing karaoke and hang out with some girls who work there.

Anyway, we’d been singing all night and ready to call it quits when the bar tender gave us a couple free drinks. He said to my friend that “the guy at the table wanted to hear us sing September by Earth Wind and Fire” since it was one of his favourite songs. Being tired I said no but my friend realised that this guy was Yakuza and said “We’d better sing our asses off.”

We did a good job because he bought us drinks for the next couple hours and even had a driver bring us back to the hotel we were staying at when the club closed.

The irony is that the police also hire yakuza to go after criminals who hide from the police, which means that the Yakuza basically acts as literal Batman

If video games have taught me anything, Yakuza basically help people out with wierd side-adventures, particpating in the local nightlife, with activity such as singing Karaoke and playing darts. Yakuza also take on normal jobs such as Taxi driving, running an Orphanage, working in construction, managing realestate and clubs, fishing, and running a baseball team. Yakuza constantly get attacked on the street by people looking for a fight, and have dramatic confrontations where they somehow can rip off their jacket, shirt and tie, all in one motion, before punching each other.

It was hard to prosecute the Yakuza because they needed to explain the entire plots of Y0 through Y7 to a jury.

That Kiryu chap is a jam up guy though. Cleans the streets, play with the children, even helps the police regularly. Truly a model citizen.

always found it odd how people liked to defend organized crime by saying "but they keep petty crime down!" like, how do you think they make their money? gardening?

“That’s why gangsters don’t just hand out business cards”
Surprisingly in London that’s EXACTLY what plugs do. And it isn’t just a number on a scrap of paper, some of those guys got some real nice ones
