      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.

      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

      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.

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.

    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.

      They are all just humans, yakuza or katagi, at the bottom of theyre heart and mindset theyre humans. A yakuza tho would atleast try avoid having trouble with civilians and rather be organized about what they're doing. So probably higher chance to get stabbed or beaten up by a random dude.

      I feel like most of those people wouldn't admit it but a lot of them are just so traumatised that they become like caged wounded animals, it's where the whole nurture over nature argument comes in. If you have only ever been communicated to in violence you only know that method of communication, so in gangs especially you have a culture that has historically perpetuated violence while operating under the guise of 'family' that is targeted towards lost and abused youth, this is where you see the 'charity' gangs that do good in the community because the government has long since lost its interest.
      State and foster care seem to do little to abate these concerns with the rife sexual, physical and mental abuse toward children in an already unstable environment it is kind of hard not to expect groups that prey on peoples weaknesses to exist.

      You could see it in his body language for sure. Joey kinda reaches for his ID, whether or not he actually has it he feels weird about showing it either way, so he just does this little reach and says no I don't have it. To be fair, I'd be intimidated as well. I wouldn't show any current or former gang member any sort of ID, whether Eastern Yakuza or Western Gangs/Mafia. No thanks, you don't need to know me lol

    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.
