Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shotaro Mamiya trained with actual ex-gang members to nail the specific swagger and fighting stance of different delinquent eras.
The 'sukeban' and 'yankee' subculture references are deeply rooted in 80s-90s Japanese media; Nanba MG5 plays with these tropes while gently mocking their outdated gender politics.
