All except 5 men who have observed everything, turn out to be members of the yakuza and fight for their territory, tthe two groups start the fight, they hide behind parked cars to be harder targets

Yakuza
Japan has always had Pirates or criminals, some underground groups founded by ninjas. The 'Yakuza' describes the gangs formed in the modern or industrial era. This included gamblers who played the game oichokabu. The game oichokabu introduced the name Yakuza; the cards 8, 9, and 3 (Ya, Ku and Za) was the worst possible hand to play in the game.

The Yakuza was ironically open with its interactions within their Japanese communities; creating business signs, public offices and business cards to directly confirm their identity. This was primarily because being a member wasn't automatically a crime; more importantly, the Yakuza had significant influence within the Japanese government. This was primarily because the Yakuza displayed their organizations and operations as crime-fighters who hunted down supposedly more violent and more unstable criminals (some police forces considered that organized crime was better than disorganized crime and that the Yakuza was a necessary-evil). Yakuza also made certain that Pro-Yakuza politicians would gain power while Anti-Yakuza politicians would be targeted.

The modern day Yakuza grew into power in post-WW2 Japan, which was seriously damaged in the war. Taking advantage of the weakened nation, the Yakuza underground exploded. The Yakuza exist today, though are not unified under a single gang- instead multiple Yakuza gangs fight against each other in Japan. They can be identified by Yakuza tattoos, which are outlawed in public, and sometimes with removed fingers or fake fingers on their hands.

Surprisingly Japan has very few murders today and is relatively one of the safest nations today, despite such large numbers of Yakuza. The Yakuza however are forced to keep their operations secretive (hence the ban on displaying Yakuza tatoos) as both politicians and police now openly crack down on Yakuza when legally able. News media renamed the Yakuza as 'Violent Groups' to further denounce them.

The mayor of Nagasaki, Iccho Itoh, was assassinated by the Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza in 2007, despite the rumor that this gang was relatively unprovoked for such a murder. The Yamaguchi are estimated to have an $80 billion annual income.

Although the Russian mafia (or Bratva) is not a singular criminal organization, most of the individual groups share similar goals and organizational structures that define them as part of the loose overall association. Organized crime in Russia began in the imperial period of the Tsars, but it was not until the Soviet era that vory v zakone ("thieves-in-law") emerged as leaders of prison groups in gulags (Soviet prison labor camps), and their honor code became more defined. After World War II, the death of Joseph Stalin, and the fall of the Soviet Union, more gangs emerged in a flourishing black market, exploiting the unstable governments of the former Republics, and at its highest point, even controlling as much as two-thirds of the Russian economy and some were former members of the KGB. In modern times, there are as many as 6,000 different groups, with more than 200 of them having a global reach. Criminals of these various groups are either former prison members, corrupt Communist officials and business leaders, people with ethnic ties, or people from the same region with shared criminal experiences and leaders.
