i mean yakuza looks cool and all but theyre not that intimidating or dangerous if you compare them to the mexican cartel and brazilian gangs like if there was a hypothetically gang war between the yakuza and the cartels then cartel would start filleting the faces of those wannabe thug nips and send post it to liveleak.
 
normies are pussies who are buttfuck scared of low class trashy gangbangers so they project themselves onto "high class and refined" criminal groups like Mafia, Peaky Blinders and Yakuza who they think Gangbangers are scared off lol.
I like walking in public knowing the fact that I as a 6’3 200 lb man could easily just push some person around smaller than me lol
 
Because it’s Japanese. There’s a weird cult following around Japanese culture and believing all aspects of it to be superior over others.
fuck u.webp

I don't think I've ever seen "normies" perceive them in this way. I thought it was rather well known that they're just flashily-dressed folk involved in gambling loopholes, fishy business stuff, and prostitution rings. Even the Yakuza game series that's popular in the West acknowledges that they aren't a dangerous organization; they've crumbled exceedingly since their glory days in the mid-twentieth-century where they were able to take advantage of the post-war situation to buddy-up with mayors and city councils by helping with the reconstruction efforts in order to then facilitate their illicit activities without the law getting on their rears, yet now the sheer amount of laws written over the ambiguities of the original post-war Japanese bureaucracy which allowed them to thrive have pushed them back so far from attempts at actual crime to where they've now been reduced to a few reclusive organizations of old Japanese guys in suits who commit fraud with limited success.

tldr they didn't resort to becoming inhuman butchers like (((other))) (((((((((groups))))))))))
 
I think the brutality has to be adjusted by the context. The cartels are among cartels. They are constantly tempted by the prospect of wiping out their rivals and constantly buoyed in their brutality by retribution. That wouldn't happen where there is law, order and prison sentences.

The yakuza don't have to be brutal. In fact, if someone is brutal in a context where they don't need to be, that guy is not an asset- he's a liability. There's a reason why the mafia had rules, so nobody just kills anyone without permission.

Successful organized crime eventually joins the real upper class. The Italian mafiosi own too much real estate to take risk with scary illegal stuff. From one perspective, that means they've won.

So yeah, the Yakuza weren't hardcore and certainly aren't now, but that fits their needs.



How would the Yakuza handle the situation if I forced all of them and a few million lower class japanese into the middle of mexico, permanently? I think a short period of protection for sake of their adaptation is fair, maybe two months to learn the basics of the language.

I think we all know there would at minimum be a new cartel. Maybe there would be several fewer.

If it were the old yakuza I wouldn't be surprised if there were no cartels at the end, for the same reason that I would not expect there to be any cartels in Mexico if it were an imperial possession of a japanese empire. The nipponese are capable of violence, and they are capable of cruelty like we saw in WWII. If they are primed for it, they are certainly capable.

Side note, humans vs chimpanzees? 1v1 and 10kv10k matches scored separately.
