“What’s you name.”
Joey: proceeds to shit a brick
Why did he take so long tho
@@xavierkwok924 he didn’t know if he should joke and say his cosplay name or his real name did not want to be disrespectful
@@fmaaa8322 Also, you know, telling a former criminal your name doesn't exactly sound like a great idea instinctively...
LOL
I shat a brick for his sake too. That was one nerve-racking introduction.
Tyson: Introduce yourself
Joey: I'm immortal Tatsu
Me: His gonna die
ikr i was cringing so much i skipped that part
What the fuck was he thinking!? He should know better not to fool around with Tyson lol 😆😆
Samee thoo
I actually laughed out loud, been a while since I did that. I was cringing so hard I started laughing
Yep no questions asked
Who the hell thinks introducing yourself as "Immortal Tatsu" to a yakuza member is a good idea, come on man wtf 😂😂
and with sunshades on indoors smh
And Tyson was constantly "Cut the bullshit"
someone who is incredibly nervous and used to internet/ more casual etiquette. if joey was interviewing a baseball player or like a professional esports player and it was over discord or something then his etiquette would be considered just kinda nervous but perfectly fine. you gotta remember this is way out of his comfort zone and tyson was being incredibly understanding whilst also not sparing the rod when it came to correcting joey. the fact that he was willing to put up with so many etiquette faux pas really shows how he understood that this was not joey's comfort zone and was willing to help him find that correct middle ground as long as joey was willing to own up to his mistakes and make the effort to listen to the corrections.
"I am Immortal Tatsu"
"Let's put that name to the test."
LEGEND, I mean that is his actual middle name tho. Just shortened and embellished 😂
The intimidation tactics of this guy are top notch. lull Joey into a false sense of security then check him, make him vulnerable, rinse repeat.
When does he do this? I haven't noticed.
@@eueu4854 11:55
@@eueu4854 10:23
@@eueu4854It's whenever he calls out Joey for doing something considered impolite/disrespectful (introducing yourself, crossing your arms while speaking to someone etc.). He's kinda letting Joey know: look, I'm willing to do this interview and answer your questions, but cut the bullshit and show me respect
@@troyc294Cause he knows Joey’s a wuss. He won’t try that against someone bigger or more intmidating
"I find yakuza lingo cool!"
"No you dont."
"No i dont."
he did raise a very valid point though. when using words like that’s cool you do impose that standard onto others and without consent. That might sound a bit much but the point being if you’re gonna say that then also be ready to defend that point. Ppl dont always like to be seen as “cool” when they’d rather just be appreciated. Also some of these terms aren’t supposed to be “cool”, theyre about respect or clarity. Also in Japan you’re supposed to turn down compliments anyways
I was like Joey 🦘 your jokes are cringe and it's not the right time for cringe jokes man because he's serious
@@ragingelection8411 you're probably trying to hard.
12:01
@@Ricky-oi3wv Utterly impossible in Japan lol.
“You’re unexpectedly ordinary”
Joey trying to get killed for views I see
I'm getting anxious at that part 😭
*Zooms in on Tyson taking a quick sip of water*
its nice knowing you Anime Man
My first thought was he can be scary if he wants. Then he asks "want me to scare you?" 🤣
Literally this gave me anxiety hahaha
Joey risk his life to ask that question
When asked what's the most heroic thing he's done he said nothing, but he also said he beat a rapist half to death. I think I would consider that heroic.
Subtext, "you don't need to know"
We don't have the same definition of the world "heroic" then.
I think that says more that he might not think that is heroic
He probably felt like it was his job as it is often Yakuza provide protection services for hostesses, also he was making an example of a person who stepped out of line.
@@marcomarco7750did hearing that a rapist got what was coming to him hurt your feelings 🥲 Cry more bout it
This guy was still extremely sharp and didn't miss any detail. Insane how quick he is.. Very impressed on how accessible and willing to talk about his experience he was.
Tyson: you didn’t give your name.
Me: oh shit.
Joey: my name is immortal tatsu.
Me: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
like yeah man, WHAT THE F*** ARE U SAYING to a YAKUZA
It was funny if the yakuza gets the joke lmao
Bro SAAAAME I'm shitting bricks here like URASAI BAKA-NINGUE. INTRODUCE YOURSELF DUMBASS! 🤣🤣🤣
@@darkraisprodigy3696 bruh, stop using foreign words bro.
This isn’t a fucking anime.
@@SlyHikari03 Nah I'll keep using them
Little does Joey know that he is just an NPC in one of this guy's substories.
KIRYU-CHAN
He got the best substory ending to by catching on to Joey’s bad manners.
Underated comment.
If you put the volume on full, you can hear the guitar riff at the end of the video, meaning the substories already finish
Substory 21 - The Anime Man
The Yakuza member is actually such a good example of showing how to get straight answers from people. I used one of the methods today (restating what we are talking about and respectfully telling the person to stay on topic) and it fricken worked!!
Love that every time anime man lied or falsely led a question he was immediately called out. Mad respect for getting the interview and especially for doing it. Awesome to see someone on the inside explain that even criminal operations are normal people just surviving and only a few are genuinely violent
"Don't cross your arms when talking to people"
Proceeds to shit self
He put them down real quick
Not only Yakuza but all Japanese don't like that crossing your arms while talking to them it's part of their culture.,
What does crossing your arm while talking to somebody mean? (Nvm i found the answer in the comment.)
@@Safie7 If I remember correctly, it's the idea that it presents one's self as not open to the other person or "closed off". It's not a gesture that appears friendly or welcoming.
@@MelodusDethicus I would think that in most cultures crossing arms especially during interviews is not a good attitude
I died when Joey introduced himself as immortal tatsu
fr 😂😂😂😂
That guy was VERY close to test the immortal in his name
@@tombulis3010 HAHAHAH oh my god this is amazing
Tyson was not having it😂
He called Joey's bullshit right off the gate! You can tell how nervous Joey was that he forgot to introduce himself.
It’s funny how joey follows his orders instantly
And apologizes
Survival Instincts
who wouldn't?
The guy just had this aura of power and character that I've seen on nobody, the ability to deflect pointless questions and explain why they're pointless while being both intimidating and respectful at the same time is downright impressive
"What's your name?"
"I'm Immortal Tatsu."
Joey I swear to God you play with fire too much sometimes 😅
I literally facepalmed when he said that like just tell him your real name. He’s not gonna hunt down your family or anything 😂
@@litchtheshinigami8936 not after this video he "would"
It was one of those moments where gotta just pause the video and say: *b* *r* *u* *h*
Scripted
@@onewontdo that would be true, but still doesn't change the fact that joey is tense up all the time.
Joey body language show us so much. like how Joey lean his body opposite/away from his guest, and how he cross his arm.
Everybody gangsta until Tyson says:
"Hold on"
That's when my heart stops
I WAS SHAKING
If Joe doesn’t upload for awhile we know why
@@stduupie We better hope Tyson doesn't find out his last name...otherwise joey might get tied to the radiator, so to speak.
🤣🤣
It’s actually pretty impressive how he fully analyzed Joey from not just his speech mannerisms but also physical. I can only imagine how many people that man must’ve crossed paths with to catch on immediately 🤔
It's an important skill for them to have, since a lot of how their money making comes from extortion and intimidation.
Just like a fake psychic who develops the ability to cold read clients over time, the same is true for the yakuza.
Wearing shades was probably not the best idea. Bro was extremely tolerant
It’s common courtesy to show your face, the eyes portray more than any other part of the face. The eyes don’t lie
He was insanely tolerant of the consistent disrespect.
Not to mention the poor conversation skills and poor attitude, I was amazed that this guy actually said "I'm scared" like a little girl when he got called.
Tyson was a great guy and carried the interview
@@chrispyy99 cringed so hard for joey
Tyson: Give me your name
Joey: Immortal Tatsu
Tyson: *So you’ve chosen death*
69 nice
xD
Almost
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHhA
I was legit scared for a sec there XD
"Let's keep the subject consistent", this guy is clearly not a Trash Taste fan.
Fr.
Lol
AHAH
Imagine bringing him to TT
@@aminazman9311 imagine connor reaction
this ex-yakuza gives me the biggest "stern but caring father" vibes and im here for it
He seems like a guy I would personally like to have as a friend in this strange world of today. Straight, honest, no bullshit, but also humble and kinda chill. Doesn´t take shit from anyone but is more then willing to have meaningful discussion.
Are you okay !!Are you that depressed and lonely that you want to hang out with a rude and evil person!!
@@uniquechallenges2478 woah there, watch what you're saying ma'am, that's really rude... Did you even watch the whole video or at least half of it?
@@uniquechallenges2478 You’re crazy
@@uniquechallenges2478 how can you say he’s an evil person? Please explain
@@uniquechallenges2478 He just teaches him proper mannerisms which is very common in Japan. You wouldn’t survive a job interview without doing all what he said. How can he be evil
Joey: Yakuza lingo is cool
Tyson: You're lying
Joey: _Understandable_
😂😂🤣🤣
Sometimes being honest can you get you good stuff
@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 Yeah, good stuff like… Yakuza’s respect!🥳
“YOU’RE LYING, MORGAN!”
@@soseikiharagatatsu7859 I thought I was stupid,but yep I read it right
He’s the type of guy that can tell if the lie detector was lying.
lol
Did not expect this 😂
DUDE FR!
He's so experience that he knows that joey was lying in that 2 scene
Cap 😂😂
He's like a father figure constantly reminding you how ot behave and carry yourself lol kind of funny but also intimidating
It’s refreshing to see such a straightforward Japanese person, rather than the culture of they all have to dance around an issue
Joey: I’m kindda Crapping myself
Also Joey: Proceeds to fake his name as “Immortal Tatsu” infront of Ex Yakuza
He was shitting his pants too much to think properly.
I was so scared for his life after that troll
Your pfp is cursed
@@QuestionableAsian1 Who is it?
I honestly would’ve just said my real name if I was him! Lol!
Joey: Joke around for comedic relief*
Tyson: 。。。
The viewer: sweating intensity*
YES WTH i gave all my respect to joey that he done all this, like i would literally cry
Yes. I was sweating through the whole video.
IKR 😓
@@ancientslav4863 YES! I thought of it the whole time
Yes oh my god I'm so scared rn 😭
10:34 had me laughing more than it should have.
Great of him to teach Japanese manners tho, I really respect that
How Mr Tyson was able to catch things so fast like Joey not introducing himself and the "If you think it's cool then you can give me several examples right off the bat." that was beyond impressive. Lol I'm slow as a snail to catch things!
The amount of times Tyson has lectured Joey about basic mannerisms makes him more like a parent than a stereotypical Yakuza member
Well in the Yakuza mannerisms are very important if you want to keep all your fingers
He could be helping Joey mannerisms in Japan, and especially to his elders.
Yakuza are definitely very critical about how you carry yourself, respect yourself and others, and to keep your name regardered highly. The major line between the bosozoku and small time thugs vs carrying the title of Yakuza, no matter or high or low you are, is presentation. Your clothes, your body language, your mannerisms. All of must give off the aura that you give respect as well as demand it with no excuses
@@jakemadness3044 Lol. The fact that they care more about image than action means they are just thugs with suits. Their higher ups are ugly bastards with type-2 diabetes. Laughable organization.
@@jakemadness3044 True enough man.
The title should've been "I got repeatedly scolded for bad manners from a respectful Japanese citizen" 🤣
"Ex-Yakuza Courtesy Lessons! (NOT CLICKBAIT)"
I felt the joeys anxiety through the screen
i wanted to hug joey throughout the whole video soo much haha
Bruh when joey forgets to introduce himself, I was sweating for him. Then he proceeds to call himself Immortal Tatsu wtf? Did he forget who was he talking to!?
Joey is about to piss his pants in multiple parts of the interview. Don’t get me wrong… so would any of us!!
"Is something you want to hide."
Anime man: puts it in the thumbnail
Holy shit he was terrifying. Props to Joey for having the balls to make jokes and wear a cosplay and give a fake name to a former Yakuza member. Much respect to them both.
Tyson-san: "Don't cross your arms."
Me, watching this at home, with my arms crossed: "Yes, sir, I'm sorry."
He is right though. It can be considered impolite for conversation with someone you aren't on familiar terms with. Totally get your point though *I ain't going to mess with this man*
I felt the same way
no kidding even called him out on the fact he introduce his name, but the guy beside did not is both rude and bad manner.
Its means you are on guard and don't trust the person you are socializing with.
@@SpardaAlucard1 No shit he's clearly not completely katagi yet, anyone with eyes can see that.
Alternative title: "Former yakuza teaches -former- anime man how to properly do an interview"
Underrated comment.
In regards to introducing himself when someone introduces themselves, I agree. Other than that, it seemed like Joey was fine.
@@JRCGuitarist It just didn't hit Joey he had to introduce himself because obviously they were introduced to each other before the camera turned on. And usually the guest is made to introduce themselves to the viewers, not to the interviewer. But Mr. Tyson is not wrong.
Let see how he handles tangents now on Trash taste 😂
@@raylanrose4934 instant flashbacks for sure
the ex yakuza was really strict, direct but still respectful. i am intimidated even if i just watch this video. joey had guts to do this interview
Constantly, purposefully intimidating and throwing off the host isn't what I would consider respectful behavior.
Kind of rude in my opinion.
Mistakes are to be expected when you are inexperienced. That said, I don't blame Joey for the ones he made in this interview. I wouldn't have been able to pick myself back up as quickly as he did each time he got told off or each time he smirked (which seemed rude) on the surface to cope with the feeling or surprise or shock he felt while interviewing such an intimidating guest. I have respect for both dudes for completing this fascinating interview and delivering to us for entertainment. Great video.
Thank you Joey and Mr. Tyson!
Joey's Style: I interviewed a real ex-yakuza member in japan.
Connor's Style: I raided a rival yakuza gang with a few yakuza friends feat. Shibuya Kaho.
The Immortal Monke, Connor
LOL so accurate love it
@@victimofgacha7561 I just want to say, your comment killed me
Something tells me that kaho is a regular there
then Kaho be like : hello Connor. I'm a regular here
Joey: "in reality you don't look that scary"
Also Joey: looks like he's absolutely shitting himself half of the time
Hahaha. Yeah i would assume joey just didnt use the right term haha. I think what he means is that the guy looks like an average person which i can see but more than half of this video i am intimidated with the guy.
It was a pretty significant blunder, one the guy didn't appreciate. Your ability to strike fear and intimidate others is basically your first line of defense when you're dealing in less savory circles. That's why his instant response was 'Would you like me to scare you?', just to drive the message home he's not dealing with an ordinary citizen. There wasn't much missing, if Joey laughed a bit too confidently or seemed truly like 'hey man, this guy ain't that scary at all', I'm pretty sure the Yakuza dude would've taken him for a short trip down memory lane.
Maybe that's why he's wearing sunglasses the whole time, so neither he nor we can tell just how scared shitless he is.
@@destituteanddecadent9106 no the glasses are part of the cosplay
@@estekel2 I like to imagine they’re there to hide double black eyes that guy gave him off screen for an edited out blunder 🤣
You always see videos of celebrities making boundaries in interviews but this guy is the king of it! He states what makes him uncomfortable and tells him why and is happy to just move on after
"No one carries knife, they are outdated."
Damn, i thought someone like Majima who just borrow, stab, and kick a knife could exists in a real Yakuza world
Actually He Could.
Majima Is The Type Of Person That Would Kick The Shit Out Of Everyone Using A Eraser.
That is kind of understandable though. Majima as Yakuza start since 80's
To be fair, Yakuza 0, and the Yakuza series in general takes place in the past, 1980s ish. Guns weren't as widespread in japan, then.
Finally, a yakuza comment
@@LeoparditusRecords Unh, no. Only Yakuza 0 takes place in 1988. The rest takes place in "present day" (when that games were released). That is, 2005 to this day. Learn your shit.
Tyson: What's your name?
Joey: It's Tatsu
Tyson: wha-
Joey: The Immortal Tatsu
Tyson: You. Stop that.
Joey: 👀💧
I paused at this part and I’m too scared to continue 💀
Joey is surprisingly bold. WHY ARE YOU MAKING CRINGY JOKES
I laughed out loud when he said that lmao
tyson: lemme try if you really immortal
Him : "CHOTTO MATTE, TELL ME YOUR NAME FIRST"
"DON'T CROSS YOUR ARM WHEN YOU'RE TALKING"
"DID YOU LIE ABOUT LIKING IT?"
Joey's heart : ↗️↗️↗️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Lmao. I wouldn’t crap myself by then
id become literal water if he said that
Kinda sounds like smth my dad would say ngl loll
That might be why he's wearing sunglasses, the eyes would give it away.
@@Skyro. You clearly don't understand the mentality people have that come from that walk of life. He 100 percent would've slapped the shit out of Joey if he became disrespectful. And he was not asking for anything that was out of the ordinary. He introduced himself with his full name, Joey didn't. He kept an open, inviting body language, Joey decided to cross his arms mid conversation. Joey tried to flex with some 'Yakuza language lingo' knowledge, and the dude reminded him that he doesn't know shit about their encoded language. Joey made statements along the lines of 'You're not that scary', and he got checked for that aswell.
People with your mentality are precisely the people that catch beatings they don't need to catch because they're kind of daft in the social department.
This interview was especially interesting to watch because of the shifting social dynamic. Joey was visibly nervous, moreso than any of the other videos I've seen. His body language totally reading fear and worry, hand placement, the glasses...lol. Former-yakuza man was looking at him like he was weird af 🤣 then Joey starts testing the waters, smoothing out the apron to fidget, eventually attempting to self-soothe with telling the guy he isn't intimidating and holding himself (crossing arms) and poor former-yakuza is just like "hey! remember you're WORKING rn! Pls remember respect!" 🙏 it was probably a little...to tell a guy who used to beat people up that he wasn't intimidating 😬🤣 this man seems like a very respectable and intelligent man, seems eloquent and aware and attentive as well. It was very kind of him to take part!
The guest here is really interesting with all the information he gave in giving more of a real world view of what the yakuza is like, I perosnally only knew it via the yakuza video game series. Learning more of how the words and lingo they used and how its broken down some is a new light I wouldn't have thought of along with the other interesting stories and lessons Mr.Tyson gave in the video be it the story on the one mans finger, or what he did to help the hostess. Along with his tips on giving a proper and respectful interview is something I'm going to keep in mind forba long time. As a first time watcher, this video has definitely left me wanting to see more of your content. Thank you.
This video is just Joey trying not to crap his pants for 23 minutes
Joey: _tries to meme his name_
Tyson-san: *Your REAL name, don't F with me Anime Man*
I am scared just hearing the nam yakuza after watching joey's this disgusting manga is based of a real event, japan is one of the places i would not want to live in,
Edit: its not just because of the whole yakuza stuff that i dont want to live in japan, people work too hard there and dont have time for themsleves too, you will only be payed for working for certain time and they will expect you to work more because others do and if you dont you are looked down upon. This is coming from me that i dont want to live there this does not mean japan is objectively bad place to live
@@kakashihatake6052 have you been to america? Just as bad, but more widespread shit happens all the time

It is that simple. He's not a shady, complicated man or anime character.

@@vincentawauh6160 i was referring to the difference between individualism focused cultures that are typically found in the west and the collectivist mindset that is more common in asian countries. it's not just a stereotype, it's a studied phenomenon in the field of anthropology and culture.
I'm really enjoying this interview series! As an anime enthusiast, I have a deep love for the medium. However, I must say, Joey's interview format is truly captivating. The way he conducts these interviews is incredibly engaging and fascinating to watch. It adds a whole new level of intrigue and insight into the world of anime.
This was very informative, thanks Joey for this interview
When he introduced himself as "Immortal Tatsu" that is when I started praying for his life. 😭🤚
I have no idea why this is in my recommended but can someone please explain this joke?
@@unsoiledsteak9730 Immortal tatsu is the main character of a manga called “The way of a househusband” and the character is a ex yakuza who is now a househusband and it’s a funny manga. Joey is cosplaying him (a ex yakuza) in front of a real ex yakuza.

The way he talks has this aura that he might punch you any second now
Honestly lmao
@@Brokenslipper he's ex yakuza ofcourse the most he can do is lecture
Epic man! Really nice to get the perspective from inside the Yakuza. Again a conformation on how stories in the world change perspectives away from the real story.
Hell, I’m so used to Joey saying “manga” with a nasal “a” in the end, that in this video I heard “manger” every single time
“You don’t scare me”
“Are you asking me to scare you?”
“No No”
Joey should just be honest here and basically just say 'he is a bit nervous'. It's fair to be upfront about such. not say 'you make me nervous' tho, cuz it's Joey's fault for being nervous.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Had me rolling lol.
He should've said you look like a humble person rather than implying his not intimidating
I think that part was kind of a dumb statment, even if i get the point.
I mean, it's obvious that a Yakuza can be as normal as a common man if he doesn't want to have trouble or keep a low profile.
Then again, it's intresting how there ARE some crazy one has the guy stated that would punch whoever they want if they get the chance to, so in the end it was a nice point.
"Fighting skill doesn't matter when guns enter the picture." That quote is such a bruh moment.

Wow amazing interview and watched the anime in one sitting hoping for season 3.
The man is not being interviewed. He is just merely tolerating Joey.
Dead from this comment 🤣💀
Yeah lmaoo😂. Joey was really putting him on the spot with the questions xD
How can you be interviewed when the interviewer wont even take off his glasses…
Joey was acting really childish and unprofessional during this. I could hardly watch it because he was so cringe. You can tell Tyson felt disrespected by Joey's attitude.

Holy shit, I just noticed that this ex Yakuza Joey is interviewing is in the new series "Tokyo Vice" (great show btw). He's the muscle in the final scene of episode 3 in the batting cage! Pretty damn cool!
Yeah because he is an actor. Not an actual one. Look in the description of this video caredully
@@mairidberz1450 What are you on about? I read the description and nothing implied he was an actor.
@@zahubshahid7944 there is a japanese link in the description for an acting agency that specializes in gangsters
@@mairidberz1450 That's not anything new.
You can google "Acting agencies for gangsters" there are western agencies that do the exact same thing.
Another example I can give is Pablo Escobar's hitman, Popeye. He was a brutal killer in real life but he also acted in some TV show as a hitman (I can't remember the name of the show).
I just saw Tyson in a Tokyo Vice episode. Congrats on the role!
When Tyson was like "how dare u ask me these questions without introducing yourself. Don't you know common couresty?" and was trying to pry Joeys real name out...that was scary.
Fr I thought it was over for him
I mean the guy has a point... But yea kinda scary.
I wonder if it would have been less scary if you didn't know who this guy was.
@@Bsdir I really thought it was a skit for a solid minute
@@Sercil00 most higher ups and old people would have told him the same. Joey has a lot to learn about how to interview serious people. Not everyone is a TH-cam clown.
Joey: "You don't seem intimidating"
Minutes later... "Don't cross your arms"
pretty sure in japan it’s rude to do that just like putting chopsticks in a x is because it means you don’t like it
@@skizzi3209 Pretty sure it's rude in most countries. It's hostile or closed body language.
I’ve seen comments saying that doing that raises suspicion of you reaching for a concealed weapon in your sleeve, a very real concern in the Yakuza. Or maybe just a formality. Who knows?
@@greywalker505 it can be that "yakuza" way. but in my country, when you cross your arms, especially in formal activities ex: interviews, meeting, etc. It's rude for other people. Maybe it's just all contries in the world common culture
@@skyworm8006 which is actually a false assumption coming from culture and really unnatural.
Absolutely fascinating to hear the views of someone who's been on the inside.
But...not gonna lie; not a fan of Joey's clowning in this video. Read the room my dude; is cosplay and giggles really the best way to interview an ex-yakuza?
lmao cause thats JOEY content “The Anime Man” ofc he will do something to make the interview related to anime or something. if you want a more serious interview then go watch another video then lol.
BUT i do hear what you are saying and see your point. its most likely that Joey tried to make the interview more Fun and didn’t know that the guy would be dead serious and almost shitting himself lmao
Relax bruv
he said it himself, the yakuza aren't some gods, they're just regular people. It definitely looked more like he was making joey shit himself intentionally rather than actually being irritated by joey. Maybe you should read the room lmao
Right the Yakuza aren't gods...however Joey is a weeb, and if you piss a guy who definitely has been in more shit than you have in your entire life, yeah, I say don't be snarky or jokey, read the room. It takes a few seconds to get punched in the face and left bleeding in the pale moonlight, best not even provoke anything.
For this video, it’s really hard to determine how formal it’s intended to be. Right off the bat, Joey is doing this in a cosplay with sunglasses on. This makes me think that it’s more of a casual video than a documentary style interview. The formality of the former yakuza guy might show otherwise, or that there’s a gap between how formal each of them expect it to be, making Joey look rude. But I don’t think that’s the case.
The former yakuza guy is also cosplaying in a sense. He’s purposefully being strict and formal because that’s the type of conduct that a yakuza member is supposed to show, and his role today as the interviewee is to show that side of his identity.
Thank you for the informative interview!
"I'm Immortal Tatsu"
Lads get the shovels we gotta prep for a burial.
Bruh
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Im bringing the coffin
I'll get the tombstone
I'm always stuck on shovel duty ffs
"Hey can I borrow a pen?"
"Sure, just make sure you keep the safety on."
"What?"
"What?"
Thank you for this! Thank you! XDD
@MICHAEL KEVIN ARTHUR ESTUITA lol
lol
having flashbacks to Percy Jackson movie’s “this is a peN” line
*John wick has joined the game*
That started off really tense, holy shit. I guess Joey was trying to be a bit comedic there but the guy clearly wasn't taking any of his bullshit. Great video.
Clownery is for the circus and Tyson knows this
This was actually really interesting. I'd like more videos like this.
Man, Joey the Anime Man is being corrected at everything, what a giga chad this former yakuza is.
ngl, ill be scared shitless if i were joey
Correcting younger members was probably quite common for him. It was so natural.
manners maketh man
it wqas probably the nerves
@@HappyBeezerStudios I get that reference I get it
"I seriously think yakuza lingo is cool"
10 seconds later - "I don't think that"
I'm so impressed how slick and seemingly easy tyson saw through the lie - and it oddly shows more the truth behind being a social media person, all lies to get clicks.
@@CptBlaueWolke you also realize how fucking nervous he is, he most likely "came up" with that on the spot and though it was a good question even though he maybe wasnt really honest.
@@CookiesCatbug when I'm fucking nervous, the least thing i do is lying.. if anything, an uncovered lie can escalate things.
I don't understand why he asks everything from his perspective? He could ask questions objectively, like "there are people that think yakuza lingo is cool" instead of lying ;)
To add more impact, Joey actually said "to be completely honest, i think yakuza lingo is super cool." which really adds to the punch when he admitted he didnt really think the lingo was cool.
@@CptBlaueWolke Easy for you to say what you would do, now it isnt you is it though? :)
I appreciate his very informative response and respect his time he has shared to make this video possible. Well dome Joey
I like his self discipline regarding politeness and being respectful. That's admirable. I like that a lot.
The reason joey was wearing glasses is to hide his teary eyes probably
Could also be to avoid direct eye contact with someone that might see it as a challenge.
@@Dizzz127 bro what

@Julius Awolumate you would’ve done the same bozo 🤓
This guy just oozes the whole "If you respect me, i'll respect you" kind of vibe. I love how straight he was , no bullsh*t in those words at all. Great vid!
Agree, while he was stern a few times with reprimands he was always respectful and actually seemd like a pretty cool guy imo
Yakuza are not really a mafia or gang or cartel in the sense of any others in the world. Be it Hacienda, MS-13, Italian families, Triads. They have vastly more dignity and respect. Like he said, bend the strong and help the weak. They keep order where the government was or is too lazy to. It's a fucking shame how the government got corrupt as hell and then went hyper-authoritarian to snuff them out. Meanwhile, politicians and businessmen have made themselves rich off corruption. In many ways they seem to be the last holdout of those values that once made Japan great.
Don't forget, The Hawkers hired the Yakuza because the government couldn't be assed to. So don't you ever lump them in with any other shitbag mafia, cartel, or gang.
@@ObservationofLimits crime syndicates in general need to be more like that.
There is bullshit in your comment tho
@@CreativeRenzo which?
your comment?
Dude, u have the best Japan vids, thank u for that.
it's so strange how he seems like such a chill dude that honestly just looks, sounds and acts like that one uncle that was just really cool. honestly shocking knowing that he was in the yakuza
When Tyson gets serious asking Joey his name and basically grilling him about courtesy. The fact Joey had the balls to slightly clown around in the beginning, i was both terrified for him and in awe
Joey trying to act tough but is terrified and does whatever the exyakuza member says. Uncross your arms, take off your sunglasses etc
😂😂
When joey was making that cringe joke and also said show your ID I was like this is bad
I feared for his life in this moment. Like damn son.
I was so scared for him but I think he dealt with the criticism very well
Joey: I'm kinda crapping myself
Also Joey: Proceeds to wear stupid sunglasses inside for half the interview xD
lmao as soon as he said he was cosplaying, i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO
AND THEN HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF WITH THE WRONG NAME, I LITERALLY PAUSED THE VIDEO AND WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM FOR 10 MINS.
hahah so hard to watch
He's cosplaying Tetsu from the Way Of The Househusband.
@@zeemancan3713 I KNOW I JUST SKIPPED THAT PART THEN CAME BACO
i was xpecting to get those goofy glasses slaped off his face any second! :))
the glasses were to hide the fear but it backfired
Never have i been so fascinated by a video to the point where i'd let everything wait just in order to watch it until the end a truly amazing aswell as informative interview
Joey: My name is Tatsu
Me: **Internal screaming**
I like how he's correcting Joey with like "Introduce yourself first", "one question at a time", "don't say it's cool if you don't really know about it", "be more precise/clear with what you're getting at here" etc. He low-key guided Joey through the interview like some "conversation director" xD
A former yakuza asks him to introduce himself
And he tells him his name is immortal tatsu
It's called a reverse interview
@Costa Rican Sportsfan so embarrassing..
He probably should have tried to behave a little more courteously; courtesy in formal occasions was physically beaten into yakuza.
For me those things were the scariest parts of the interview XDDD I guess he was... being polite and nice, but still... ohmy XD
It looks like Joey's pants were about to change color whenever he was critiqued on his etiquette
look at his legs... is shaking and he put his hand to stop it lol
LMFAO true
And that's someone who's clean now. Imagine how an active yakuza member would be. No wonder the word is one of the few censored words in Japanese.
I got second hand embarrassment, if that happened to me I would apologize so many times lol
@@destituteanddecadent9106 imagine the crazy ones he mentioned
Great material for my grade thesis :D Thanks.
Wow, that was really interesting. Idk why Joey said he wasn't intimidated...to his effing face?!
Dude, I'm in the States watching this well after the recording and I was still intimidated lol Super fascinating video. Thanks for making it! ❤️
I find it strangely admirable Joey had the balls to wear an apron to this particular occasion.
Yeah must have have to give a set for this interview good thing he got spares
Way of the Househusband power
It's to soak up any blood that happens to leave Joey's body unexpectedly. He doesn't want to be rude and not provide an easy way for the Yakuza to cleanup.
*joey the apron man*
The Way of The Anime Man.
He emanates such "I don't tolerate bullshit" energy, I respect that.
well he is a yakuza
man you better respect him
@@ftu2021 former*
He really does
That's the best way to word it.
Actually a decent interview. Tyson definitely carried it, but amazing as is. Good job man.
Haven’t watched this in a while but immediately recognized his face in Tokyo Vice episode 3. Must’ve had some consultant/acting work.
He’s intimidating me so hard through the screen that I’m using proper manners to watch the video
Same
woah so I am not alone in feeling that way I feel a little intimidated as well
Wouldn’t say intimidated but definitely interesting. He definitely carries himself in a different way. While serious though don’t think anime man was in any real danger.
Yeah, I can't help, but feel some anxiety just from watching the video
IKRRR i thought it was just me since joey said he wasn't intimidated talking to him but dear god I couldn't handle situations like that
jesus christ I sat up straight at home when Tyson told Joey to uncross his arms
He got silent wench
a
Fo real
could be hiding blades up his sleeves . ..dude is probably a bit paranoid lol
Joey’s reaction “ sumimasen”😅
This was a fantastic interview!
This was a great video and I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch it. I have some questions that I'd be interested in learning about like: Since the family was dissolved, could he have joined another family, or was the dissolution the only outcome for all of the members. There are a couple of stories, although I am not sure if they are historically accurate or just fiction, of foreigners joining the Yakuza. Is this possible and what is the likelihood of that happening (not advocating for that, I'm just more so curious as to how that would work, what the family would have to take into consideration, and a few finer points of the inner workings there. Tyson also spoke about the original spirit of the Yakuza, but what are more modern philosophies of Yakuza families. I know the likelihood of another interview isn't high, but I would like to learn more about these organizations.
