Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
QP adapts Norifusa Mita's manga, part of Japan's long tradition of romanticized yakuza fiction that peaked in 1970s-80s cinema.
Takashi Miike reportedly directed select episodes while juggling multiple film projects, explaining the wildly varying visual energy across the season.
