      The situation is very different. The central government in Japan has far more power than any central or south american government. Also, the military is far more loyal. If the violence would've spiraled out of control, the government would've declared martial law and have the military shoot Yakuza on sight. Or basically every Japanese person with Tatoos. And the Japanese people woould've been okay with that. Doing something that is a threat to the state in Japan would be completely suicidal, even for tha Yakuza.

    If you think the Yakuza dominating Japan's entertainment industry is interesting, what's even more interesting is the Chongryon (an organization with close ties to North Korea in Japan) once dominated the gambling/pachinko industry. They sponsored everything from credit unions to newspapers. What led to their downfall, was that the government realized they were helping fund the DPRK's nuclear program

      The 3,000 from the report that number was given is a deceptive because those were only the "made" members of the Mafia in the US. "Made" men lead groups of others who would be considered as being in the Mafia, but in leadership positions and the total number of Mafia members and affiliates was/is much, much higher.

      Sort of. The Tojo Clan are based on the Sumiyoshi-kai. The Omi Alliance were based on the Yamaguchi Him. While they are sort of based on true events I wouldn't say it was a one to one correlation. But since they did say something about a Yakuza 0 Part 2. They could do this and they have the best character for it. Masaru Watase. Since he is the Omi's equivalent of Kitty.

    • @FlaviusBelisarius-ck6uv
      @FlaviusBelisarius-ck6uv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That’s the Sicilians for you. Say what you will about them, but very few cultures have stronger familial ties and a communal identity than those you’d find in Sicily way back when, which makes sense considering that Sicilian history is basically them being invaded over and over and over again. Phoenician and Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, Vandal and Ostrogoth, Byzantine Greek, Aghlabid, Kalbid, Norman, Aragonese, Spanish and so on. All had one thing in common, they tortured and oppressed the native Sicilians. Is it any wonder, with so many cruel and corrupt governments controlling them, that the Mafia sprung up to act as a secondary government of their own that still persists to this day.
      Revenge was a family obligation, so their vendettas could persist for centuries, perpetuating the cycle of vengeance. What’s even more astounding is just how many of these mafiosi were strongly religious. Devout Catholics, they wouldn’t even take the name of the lord in vain but in the hot blood of vendetta, they’d shotgun the pope himself for breaking Omertà.
      You could also compare the American Mafia, who were just a bunch of cowboys.
      The most famous mob war is probably the Prohibition-era Chicago Gang War that spanned from 1920 to 1931 and only killed 500 to 1300 people in total, but was fought with far more brutality and sadism than World War I (for starters, a gangster was thrown out of car while burning alive onto a busy public street in 1928). Also, the war wasn't just for the control of all illegal booze, the gangsters were fighting each other for control of the whole city, as the mayor at the time, Big Bill Thompson, was nothing more than a corrupt, insane puppet for Al Capone to control.

I have a video suggestion (if you don’t mind of course) we all know that you are no stranger to snipers, (you might not know this sniper) he has a total of 642 confirmed kills, he fought in the 2003 Iraq war, against American soldiers and he fought as an Iraqi sniper his main weapon is the Tabuk7.62mm rifle, although Wikipedia says it’s a dragunov (don’t blame them they look exactly the same) And he recently died in 2017 by militias, apparently American soldiers/marines were so scared of him they gave him the nickname "Juba" which means Instant death or death in any form.
