How can we redesign and fluff out these weeb marines to make them tolerable?

I'd start by removing the kawaii desu overt Japanese aesthetic. Maybe the red gorget too.
These guys are sometimes said to be Iron Hands successors, which could be neat.

Give em chain funnier looking samurai designed helmets and power sword katanas made by secretly by the chapter because "muh glorious nippon steel" Basically, make them so ridiculous that they end up fitting in better with the rest of this brain cell killing universe.

Whut.
Just make Space Yakuza man, and make them a dark angels successor chapter.
Chaos enemy is the Triad, a group with fingers in Imperial underworld and Tech heresy relating to Necron tech, stuff from the age of strife and the like.
Space Yakuza marines are also fond of gene seed and organ dealing.
They still have Destroyers, the infamous Third Squad from the Seventh Company.
Now kill yourself, stupid phone poster.

Someone needs to learn more about Japanese culture and religion as it applied during the era that samurai were a thing...

This, fuck off OP, they were a Karate Kid joke. Removing that is like taking away what makes the Rainbow Warriors what they were or the Star Leopards. Stop being so asshurt, the Emperor's Shadows aren't even hard canon.
