Roger isn't a gangster

>>15739219
Near the beginning of 2004 Tetsujin 28, Shotaro takes on the actual American mafia

>>15739245
if we're expanding to organized crime showing up there's also Build Fighters' Gunpla Mafia and there was an ep of Patlabor TV where the local yakuza got involved iirc

>>15739252
God, I love that episode. Every single moment of it is wonderful.

>>15739219
Aren't the antagonists in Machine Robo:Revenge of Chronos space robot gangsters?

>>15739219
Bryger
Its an episodic show (well, half of it is, anyway), with a different villain every time, but every single villain belongs to some organized crime group. The protagonists themselves are also outlaw vigilantes who live and operate in only the seediest parts of the galaxy

Heybot
not even kidding

>>15739219
Didn't Tetsujin 28 fight gangsters at one point?

>>15739267
By that criteria, we could also toss in Gavan and Timeranger, which both have mafia factions as antagonists.

>>15739282
Yeah I guess Brygar's it. There's one bit where the protags give kids a gun to exact vengeance on their parent's murderer. There's even the old dick-cop that really just wants to do good.

Neo Ranga

Gad Gard?

>>15739735
I was pretty surprised by that. And by a lot of things in Neo Ranga, really.

>>15739233
IBO is literally just a yakuza film complete with ALL the tropes, just with Gundams.

>>15739233
>IBO has some underworld scum themes
I couldn't make it through the second season.
>>15739256
Which one, Patlabor or GBF?
>>15739438
And Cobra.

>>15739989
Patlabor.

>>15739219
Gundam Build Fighters.
It's basically Godfather of the mech.

No gangsters. though

>>15739789
>a yakuza film

I've never seen a Yakuza film, can you recommend some?

>>15739242
Beck is though.

>>15739245
>American gangsters
The only cleared ones there are those from Thrill Suspense group and PX group
The rest are pretty unclear if they're American or not

80s Tetsujin has this (mostly villains)
Especially with the 45th episode where it featured bokuzoku gangsters that can form their motorcycles into a giant robot

IGPX. The entire premise of season 1 is Team Satomi needing to acquire ever more shady corporate sponsors in desperate hopes of continuing to race. You have dirty cheaters backed by the military-industrial complex, betrayals by friends, femme fatales that the MC has to fight against, and more noir-ish plots.

The Yakuza Papers is seen as the quintessential yakuza movie saga.

I didn't know Escaflowne was a gangster show.

>>15739219
Sora no Woto had an episode dedicated to the protagonists pretending to be gangsters to scare off actual gangsters.

>>15744317

>Pretending

They pretended to be more cutthroat than they actually were, but they were still gangsters none the less.

They were breaking the law and their oaths to the nation through their brewing and distribution activities.

>>15742028

you mean Battles Without Honor and Humanity

>>15746505
The Yakuza Papers is the correct term. Battles Without Honor or Humanity is just the first part.

Does Mecha Noir exist? And don't you dare say Big O. Wearing suits from the 40s doesn't make it Noir.
