I think that has more to due with the media's general portrayal of Yakuza. People picture Lung as a Yakuza boss due to being Japanese even if he runs his gang more like the Crips from little we see.
But for better or worse Yakuza are seen as "Gentlemen" criminals in most media like the Mafia. This means that they are viewed better then random street gangs(Merchants), or neo nazis(Empire 88). You also see the same thing happen to Marquis because he is seen as the old school Mafia. In general this means that media portrays them as having rules and tends to whitewash the really bad stuff.
“Gentleman” criminal
God I gotta spit on that concept, I remember having a conversation with some guy on Reddit regarding “Gentleman” Johnny Marcone who was admitted to be into some REALLY horrible shit, guy provides “order” but many of the activities under him are still fucking horrible and NOT so clean or made to have much standards beyond “don’t hurt kids” as I’m pretty sure anyone above the age of 18 is liable to have his home wrecked, his business burned down, be forcibly addicted to drugs and prostitution and so on
Though, TBF Marcone doesn’t have that much power or ability to look over and manage everybody
He talked about records of the ACTUAL Yakuza, about some incident in the 80s involving a kid who joined it and started terrorizing his family and some girl he raped with other new members
The Redditor talked about one problem even for those “gentlemen” type criminals....when they get really fucking bad or have really horrible members, they will “protect” them specifically and never turn em in
Guy’s no Yakuza, he’s not even related to any Yakuza families or has any of those traditions in Worm if I can recall anything
The ABB is NOT some “family” either. I don’t even recall Lung wearing a suit OR a shirt
