Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Yakuza Graveyard is a 1976 Yakuza film directed by Kinji Fukasaku.Detective Kuroiwa is a loose cannon cop on the edge who doesn't play by the rules. He beats suspects, threatens to plant evidence, brawls casually, has a violent temper, and even drives his fist into his palm in front of his superiors when they chew him out. This man is the epitome of a Cowboy Cop.Of course, he's also a complete mess of a human being.Strongly implied to be the product of prejudice (the neighborhood kids would beat him up for being raised in Manchuria, despite being pureblooded Japanese), Kuroiwa drinks like a fish, is usually in conflict with his superiors, and is in a dead-end relationship with a prostitute whose lover he killed in the line of duty.Having spent some time Reassigned to Antarctica over said killing, Kuroiwa is tranferred back to the big city just as a Mob War breaks out between some big fish and some little fish. The police are backing the big fish, but Kuroiwa starts to become friendly with the little fish. It starts small enough, with a Pet the Dog moment for a young gangster, which the boy's superior, Iwata, takes note of. Iwata and Kuroiwa eventually bond over their shared racial troubles and love of fighting, and Kuroiwa becomes increasingly involved in gang activity, even getting a Yakuza Love Interest. But as the war heats up, and as his superiors at the department start to turn on him, Kuroiwa begins to see himself as a gangster instead of a cop.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Gray-and-Grey Morality: The police are running a illegal loan operation, and are willing to take sides in a Mob War. The Yakuza, despite the occasional man of honor, are still Yakuza.

Downer Ending: Kuroiwa is forced by truth serum to give up Iwata, leading to his death. Shunned by the Yakuza, he walks into headquarters and demands that his Chief confess to his corruption, gunning him down when he refuses. He turns, walks out of the police station, gets within sight of Keiko, then his old friend runs out after him and kills him when he refuses to stop

Freudian Excuse: Kuroiwa was bullied for having grown up in Manchuria. He became a cop to get tougher.
