| Tokyo Tribe (Manga) | comment |
The story of Tokyo Tribe is heavily based around the hip-hop and street culture of modern day Tokyo. It focuses on members of the Saru street gang (Shivuya [sic] branch in the original manga, Musashino branch in Tokyo Tribes). The Saru exist as a safe haven from the rampant crimes that occur between the Bukuro (Ikebukuro) Wu-Ronz and the Shinjyuku [sic] Hands.When three Saru members turn up dead, Kai, a lieutenant within the gang, hunts for their assailants. He finds Mera, leader of Wu-Ronz and former friend, and accuses him of the murders. Their fight ends in the death of Tera, the Saru leader, and begins the Second Gang War. Meanwhile, a prostitute named Sunmi may either hold the key to bringing the two friends together or destroying all three gangs from the inside out.Tokyo Tribe and the sequel Tokyo Tribes were both written by Santa Inoue. The first was published in 1993 and covered the events prior to the First Gang War. Tokyo Tribes was published between 1997 and 2005 in the magazine boon. Tokyo Tribe 2 was the anime based on the second manga and was directed by Tatsuo Sato and produced by Madhouse Studios. The series ran for 13 episodes between 2006 and 2007.A Live-Action Adaptation developed by Sion Sono (Suicide Club, Strange Circus) premired in late 2014 at the Toronto International Film Festival. It is currently seeking U.S. distribution. | |

| Tokyo Tribe (Manga) / int_3346eb29 | comment |
Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: The amount of blood Buppa takes out of the Bishōnen guy is just amazing. The amount Nkoi, Buppa's son loses before succumbing to his impalement is just as absurd. | |

Bloody Hilarious: The "goosh goosh" rape scene is initially horrifying, but when you see the amount of blood coming from under the door in an amount comparable to The Shining, it immediately Crosses the Line Twice. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| Tokyo Tribe (Manga) / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: The infamous "Goosh Goosh" scene is actually somewhat more tame compared to the gruesome aftermath of Buppa's rape in the manga where it clearly shows that the rape victim's back was brutally ripped apart. In fact, a lot of the most violent scenes are tamer in the anime. The fangirl who Nkoi has sex with still has her skirt on in the anime. The scene where Guppa and a younger Mera watch a kidnapped woman getting her limbs hacked off is entirely skipped. | |

A Nazi by Any Other Name: In Tokyo Tribe 2, the NEO WU-RONZ, after nearly taking over a majority of Tokyo, become the "Skunk Empire", named after its leader and former underling of Mera. The outfits of the Skunk Empire members are reminiscent of Nazi uniforms, with the kana "ズ" in place of the swastika. Even Skunk, who grew a mustache over the course of two episodes, dresses very similarly to Hitler during his reign as the leader of the Skunk Empire. | |
