I believe I may have met at least one Yakuza member during my visit to Tokyo. Although I was absolutely terrified when I suspected this, I realized that showing respect was the best way to guarantee that nothing bad would happen. In fact, I believe that the group simply wishes to pursue its own interests discreetly, and those who get in the way often pay the price. Then again. respect is a big part of Japanese culture to begin with, and I found it astounding how even as a foreigner I was shown respect.
I used to live in Honolulu, and came across Yakuza vacationing. (Showering off the sand in Waikiki, actually.) Tattoos, cut pinkies, the whole nine yards. One must’ve seen my mixture of surprise and fear; he looked at me, flashed a very genuine smile, and gave me the Shaka sign. (Again, pinky half-gone.) I did the same and walked on.
The easiest way to handle crossing paths with a member of the Yakuza is if you leave them alone they will leave you alone and your pinky fingers will be intact.
Kiryu is the epitome of an old school yakuza, a guy with morals which the rest of the yakuza in Kiryu's world don't have... Shintaro Fuma and Majima are also old school, albeit, Majima is a psychotic madman who has loyalty to his brother, Saejima
Whenever someone mentions yakuza, I think about that one level in that one James bond game(I think it was nightfire) where these yakuza members constantly shout "YAKUZA!"
Jugger McFly Honestly, I hadn't seen this comment before I wrote it. But I was sure it was more than likely already up in another video from probably hours ago. No point claiming originality on my part, when I know I can't prove it.
There is nothing wrong about getting one. But make sure to not show them in public. You might get shot or labled as a gang member, so you WILL be followed. Just pointing this out
Be a cop killer and you'll get those tattoos and maybe they put a statue of you and your boss and they will honor you and your boss as heros in America!
@@DmarcusBaus Yep they are looking for people the Yakuza is shrinking so it similar to what the Detroit Mafia is doing but some people want to help to hit on police on just checking American Police department on officers and when ever someone has a problem with a cop you do a hit job.
Well done MOJO! Love your content! The script is excellent and your voice is even better! I'm seeing copycats spring up, inevitable and you should be flattered!
Dunno why people hate Watchmojo and at the same time watch their videos. It's like jumping into the shit you see on the street and make shit angels while complaining about instead of avoiding it.
Cause their extraordinarily click bait and you can’t really differentiate their videos with similar names and different topics but their fine if that’s okay with you. Edit: I realised that it sounds snarky but it’s supposed to state facts to the best of my knowledge but I’m not sure if everything is correct so take it with a grain of salt.
I guess they did. When I played the video, the video had two different titles. One where it said the 5 facts, then to something about getting hacked. The audio was different too which got me confused.
For the 'good' the yakuza do, it's actually a front. They masquerade as good guys a lot of the time, even doing fundraisers and charity work, but that's to keep the common populace on their side. A lot of their hide outs, shady dealings, murders, and prostitution rings would be turned over to the government. They can do some truly remarkable things don't get me wrong, but they are still a crime syndicate and a very successful one for a reason.
*Mafia IIII: Rise of the Yakuza* After a Mafia vs Black Mafia game. A Mafia vs Yakuza game has got to be the next step.. That would be pretty damn Lit. Lol
I like the yakuza because they unlike other gangs who constantly punk on each other, they still maintain their respect. (albeit under threat of violence) However while i can appreciate this sentiment in a world where no one really respects anyone anymore, i prefer to keep my distance because i would not want to piss one off accidentally.
Pilz zliP I know you're triggered. Trying to make someone enraged with the "Aww" as if you're talking to a baby... You honestly sound like you're 12. Or extremely immature to comment such a stupid and childish thing "Can you fix your face?" Damn I would of expected better from someone who watches WatchMojo.
You can, as long as you pass the written test and is willing to do what the family asks you to. Although I haven't seen Westerners---by Westerners here I mean Caucasians and black people in the yakuza at all, there are many Chinese and Koreans.
Making unnecessary additions: 1) numbers of yakuza are dropping sharply by toughening the law and strict public security monitoring since 1991, 2) the largest yakuza organization 'Yamaguchi gumi' are now divided against itself and under conflict, 3) there are few Japanese yakuza leaders today, 4) some yakuza are popular at SNS such as twitter.
I'm glad your top point at least illustrated to a small degree the complex dynamics that exist between the Yakuza and the other citizens of Japan. While pretty much anything goes in terms of 'business' dealings, the Yakuza often 'police' the territories that belong to them and are, in a sense, responsible for the people living in their districts. In many situations citizens approach local Yakuza before the police, because they know they'll get swifter results. I'm not saying this is a good thing, but it certainly makes for an interesting dynamic. I wish you spoken more about their tattoos, though. There's a very traditional method that Yakuza use that's different from Western tattoo artists, and supposedly it's much more painful. It's pretty interesting.
Fact #0: SPOILER ALERT Kazuma Kiryu’s real parents were killed by his adoptive father, Kazama Shintaro, who started the Sunflower Orphanage to care for the children whose parents he killed as an assassin.
It is also said that they cut off your pinkies, because you only have 2. After two misstakes, they either cut of a bigger thing and banish you (example hand) or kill you, or force you to do Seppuku
Imo one of the "best" gangster groups out there. Simply because they tend to not kill innocent people, they usually focus on making money and if you stay out of their way you usually dont get hurt. Also loyalty and respect is still a thing. Unlike in most other gangs/mafias where they'll kill someone simply for suspicion.
The hardest thing for me to figure out is when you search "watch mojo" in the youtube search bar, the first video is about them getting hacked, and it shows a screenshot of this exact video, so was this made by the real watch mojo and they just fixed the name from what it was before, or was it made by the hackers.

Met a former Yakuza at a karaoke bar once. For such a stoic-looking man, he was a very lively performer. Wore a nice suit. I liked that guy.
The Yakuza are fucking ballers. Goddamn

Shots fired 😂😂😂😂👊

Fuck the police
util you get hacked. .them you will "sir policeman can you help get my password back?"
I can't lie those tattoos look fire. I want one! :)
There is nothing wrong about getting one. But make sure to not show them in public. You might get shot or labled as a gang member, so you WILL be followed.
Just pointing this out
Just be real careful or if you're influencial enough get approved by the Yakuza themselves
Be a cop killer and you'll get those tattoos and maybe they put a statue of you and your boss and they will honor you and your boss as heros in America!

Apparently for the lulz. At least it's not Ourmine doing it. They're mentally challenged attention whores.
They lose money and sponsorships.
Best video posted on this channel so far.
the Yakuza is the robbin hood?
They should've mentioned Fuyuhiko from Danganronpa 2, he IS the ultimate yakuza
I agree
more like ultimate babyface
I see what you did there
You misspelled Kazuma Kiryu!
Smh casually ignoring the dragon of dojima i see
Never mess with the Yakuza, WatchMojo learned their lesson.
good thing they got the channel back

so can mojo make an video about the obnoxious hack? :) it would rlly be an interesting video.Cheers and hope you would come back soon

If the hacker would delete the channel.. A piece of Internet history will be lost
yay its back, i didn't get to watch it last time
I like the new intro.
I'm glad your top point at least illustrated to a small degree the complex dynamics that exist between the Yakuza and the other citizens of Japan. While pretty much anything goes in terms of 'business' dealings, the Yakuza often 'police' the territories that belong to them and are, in a sense, responsible for the people living in their districts. In many situations citizens approach local Yakuza before the police, because they know they'll get swifter results. I'm not saying this is a good thing, but it certainly makes for an interesting dynamic.
I wish you spoken more about their tattoos, though. There's a very traditional method that Yakuza use that's different from Western tattoo artists, and supposedly it's much more painful. It's pretty interesting.

hope you are fighting against the hacker this is a good channel

I feel like keem pays off hackers to avoid getting shafted on youtube
It is also said that they cut off your pinkies, because you only have 2. After two misstakes, they either cut of a bigger thing and banish you (example hand) or kill you, or force you to do Seppuku
The Yakuza helped feed its people in order to help their public image and possibly attract new members.
9 out of 10 people killed by an imitation katana can't tell the difference.
Watchmojo staff should address the hacking video titles at last, your viewers keep questioning this yet no feedback
Last time I was this early watchmojo wasn't hacked.

Cool. I wish more crime organizations would use their resources to help others.
I can't believe they are still hacked it's been almost two days
Get it together watchmojo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hardest thing for me to figure out is when you search "watch mojo" in the youtube search bar, the first video is about them getting hacked, and it shows a screenshot of this exact video, so was this made by the real watch mojo and they just fixed the name from what it was before, or was it made by the hackers.
Weird seeing Watchmojo get hacked, like seeing your dad lose a fight.
