I'd like it if black dude was a main character instead of these two.
edit: wait he's not black?
I guess he's just got the okinawa look now
damn.

Oh, I guess that's true.
My question though:
What the fuck is the company. I mean that's not a mistranslation either, they use kaisha like its a legit company and not the mob. Is it a legit company and the older members are just mobby?
I also wonder if they permanently changed Katsuragi so he's kinda fucked up and smoking unlit cigarettes now. The implication was they definitely did that at least temporarily.
I thought it was interesting how crushing Yokota was an accident. It's more like...he wandered in and crushed himself.

[mention=6444]Momogari[/mention]
Yakuza is a semi-legal organisation. They're still a mob, but they have legal structures as well. I think that's what they meant.
The big boss and his direct subordinates usually have clean hands and they are a part of a legal structure. The bottom get their hands dirty, but they're not officially related to the legal organisation.
That's why there is this weird situation with yakuza, that "everyone knows" that a particular company is owned by yakuza, but the police cannot do anything about it, because they're officially clean. I think it's similar with mafia etc.
That's my guess.

Hmm I've never heard the term kaisha applied to any yakuza operation but I don't watch yakuza-themed stuff often either. I guess that's plausible
I think it'd be more interesting if it wasn't yakuza though. And I think this show might do that.

I don't know about this specific term. You might have better luck in finding it than me, because you know Japanese.
Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily yakuza itself, but maybe a mob that works in a similar way.

"With great power comes great responsibility." The MC doesn't agree.

Damn, this anime is so dark. It doesn't look like that at first sight, but it is.

Satoru seems so sweet. Best yakuza.
edit: oh, that's where the dark is.
