What car would RGG/Yakuza/Judgement characters drive?
Kiryu (Your Grandfatherâs Minivan):
pic: 1999 Dodge Caravan/ other ex: 1992 Toyota Previa, 1st generation Mazda MPV Even haruka is pleading with him to get rid of it since it almost exploded on the last orphanage trip. Regardless of what anyone says, Kiryu doesnât want to get rid since he keep saying itâs a good format for the orphans (when they were younger maybe but not anymore) and how this dinosaur was the property of Kazama-San and weâre of good use when kashiwagi and him were watching over younger Kiryu and Nishiki. As always, another thing Kiryu remains hard headed on which doesnât surprised his sworn brother since he see it as an extension of his lack of fashion sense. Majima keeps clowning him since seeing Kiryu walking out of this atrocity in burning anger is the most hilarious thing ever.
Akiyama (A Older model of a regular sedan):
pic: 1989 Honda Civic/ other ex: 2000 Toyota Corolla Regardless his pocket being stacked, he decided to get a regular car that common people get. Partly out of pure laziness, having to deal with expensive cars and their issues but he got it from a client who wanted to get rid of their old vehicle so he jump on the occasion. Hana doesnât like it since itâs uncomfortable for her (for being so small and barely functioning right). She thinks he couldâve afford wayyyyyyy better than a (probably) discontinued second hand car with inexistent resale value.
 Haruka (A Regular Civilan Family Car):
pic: Red 2012 Toyota Corolla  Even if her uncles wanted to go all in and splurge for a ââluxuryââ or expensive a car for her , she refused and decided to go with something more simple. Also the simplicity of her also shows her current life as civilian and desiring a normal life like everybody else. While Kiryu is understanding of her choice, Nagumo and the crew (lowkey) expected her to take a larger (for more kids to come) but Kiryu shut down that idea and how its not happening before Mr.Yuta officially marries Haruka. BY THE WAY HER CAR IS RED just sayinâŚ
80s Nishiki (Retro & Flashy):
pic: 1988 Mercedes 560SL/ other ex: 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible, 1988 Jaguar XJsAlong with the other car he had in Y0, he had another red convertible car he keeps for special occasions like showing off to his bosses, impress cabaret girls (remember image is everything) or for laid back road trip with his kyoudai. Slick Back Nishikiyama (Expensive & Conservative): ex: white porche or mercedes Changing his mentality, goals and outlook on life also affected his vehicle choice. Nishiki sold his all retro flashy car to separate vfrom his old image of being easy going and a (bitch) weak boss. By doing that he wants people to take him more seriously so he can climb the Yakuza ladder, so he goes for safe and conservative in many things including his fashion style. Yumi: doesnât know how to drive.
Saejima (Thick car):
pic: 2005 Ford F-150/ other ex: 2005 Jeep Cherokee, 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser A big Heavy duty weather resistant car to fit his build (since he hates being uncomfortable). Also a big car to transport various things easily from camping equipment, drive well on dirt roads and snow and to carry Majimaâs drunk body.
Daigo (what the chairman deserves)
pic: Rolls Royce Phantom VIII In all his Tojo-related activities, he usually get around by his driver in a limousine. He has a Black Rolls Royce that he almost never uses. Even though Mine and many of his subordinates encourage him to use it to match his boss/ex-boss status (or stature as man Mine would say). He doesnât like too much the negative attention on him especially when heâs visiting Kiryu or doing personal things. All this goes with him being a shit driver (sorry daigo-chan) regardless owning a valid driving license. The brat side of his younger self remained since he prefers having a driver than doing it himself even after the disbandment of the Tojo Clan (which Mine and all his ââunclesââ are glad to do so).
Majima: there are things he is actually cheap and lazy about. Taking after daigo, he doesnât presently owns a valid driving licence, the one he previously owned (to destroy Shangri-La) got revoked and suspended ever since. He doesnât want all the trouble and the paper work to get it back. since Saejima canât drive his kyoudai around town on demand; he elected Minami and Nishida to be his personal drivers. Regardless he still sometimes takes some driving strolls by himself, we he does he takes Daigoâs Rolls Royce, which he himself gave to the fourth chairman as a birthday present. So thatâs why he always tells him he has the right to use the car as he pleases. Daigo doesnât mind and actually thinks his car finds Majimaâs style better.
Ryuji (Ryuji being Ryuji):
car: HUMMER H2
motorcycle: Kawasaki VN2000 Class/ other ex: 2022 Indian scout bobberAt some he did own a HUMMER (before when it was still poppin) but Kaoru convince him to sell it because it was wayyyyy too big, waste of (gas) money and in all honestly looked RICICULOUS. He later converted to a motorcycle which he uses all the time.
Minami:
pic: Trap car Couldnât wait to climb up the rank and earns enough funds to get rid of his trap to replace to his dream car to represent his status.
Nishitani (Wanna ride Majima-kun?)
pic: 1984 Cadillac Eldorado/ other ex: 1965 Pontiac GTO Mine (Bad and Boujee)
pic: 2021 Mercedes Mayback Class/ other ex: 2021 Porche 911Especially got a foreign model to make a statement as an accomplished Japanese businessman, that his pocket are stacked and he is not to be messed with. After surviving a suicide attempt (this is a headcanon remember mate). Now he volunteer to drive Daigo around to Kiryuâs opposition since he believes Daigo should drive for himself. He consider selling his fancy car (he already sold those he doesnât use) because of Daigoâs desire of being discreet since the Tojo Clanâs collapse.
Tachibana (that car in Y0)
Oda:
pic: 2021 Chevy Express Van CargoWhite Creppy Van. Period. (and thatâs canon)
Shimano & Sagawa (Work harder Majima-chan!):
pic: Japanese RickshawAlways used the cars provided by the clan and its drivers, if not he would make long hair Majima take him from point A to point B in a Traditinal Japanese rickshaw.
Kashiwagi (Fancy Refined)
pic: 1991 Lincoln ContinentalAt some point owned a expensive recent car model (Audi A4 2020), but after getting rid of it he dig out a older car who was sleeping in his garage (Lincoln Continental 1991). It is the car he owned while in the Tojo Clan, it would be natural for him to get rid of it but he seems to be satisfied with the older car (he canât find another one who could as charming as this one). He does most of his travels by foot so its not like he can be seen in his car anyway.Â
Yakuza 7/Like A Dragon Ichiban & The Crew:
pic: Redesigned Volkswagen The VW Van Type 2 Itâs the first car Ichiban and Nanba got coming out of homelessness as soon as Ichi got his driving license from the vocational school. They got it from a scrap (a place where they stock old car they think are no good anymore) in almost perfect condition from one of Nanbaâs homeless plugs. They got it fixed and upgraded by Sumire Sawa (the repairs chick). While Adachi was not the type to roll around in such flashy car, it officially became the LAD Crewâs official car. Saeko did some touchs up and decoration (with Seonghui funds) and VOILAAA! Itâs now a place where they can both drive long distance and sleep (not all 7 but at least a few). Ichiban and Nanba like it the most since itâs reminiscent of their upgrade from the homeless life and can always be an option instead of bothering Kashiwagi at the bar (at least when Adachi does, he pissed him off so many times).
Zhao is less hyped about it. He keeps emphasizing on how he prefers hotels and a warm bed. He keeps repeating how he never been in a vehicle ââthis cheapââ. He always find excuses to not go in it, deep down heâs just covering the fact that he is very uncomfortable sharing small spaces with many other people. Those scenarios brings up his uneasiness with everything outside the realm of lavishness or the comfort of the Liumang Headquarters. As for Joon-gi, while he constantly complains about not having enough space to breathe or the car being unconventionally ââtackyââ and has never seen anyone in neither Japan or Korea driving a car like this. He low key likes it since it reinforces the family-like bond all the members of the party have. It also feeds into one of the deepest fantasies he had during his younger years which was to have siblings to quench his childhood loneliness.
They use this car especially for road trip and doing camping which ichiban succeeded to being everyone on their last camping trip.
Eri (Common Japanese Box Car)
pic: 2018 Nissan Dayz/ other ex: 2018 Honda n Box Itâs the cheapest car, her and her grandmother could afford keeping their whole situation with the business. Since the success of Ichiban Confections, her grandmother moved on to better transportations method, she got a small (but expensive) car for herself, she even offers herself boat rides. On her side, Eri is satisfied with their old car and kept it. Â Zhao
pic: Pink Lamborgini Aventador it's not that i needed it or even use it, itâs because I wanted it. AND I COULD AFFORD IT. Matter of fact i use the Liumang's limousine and its drivers for transportation.
Saeko:
pic: Fiat 500 She loves the car she shares with all her friends but for some reason would like to have a small cute car for herself.
Judgement/Lost Judgement/Judge Eyes Yagami (That SkateboardâŚ):
Kaito:
pic: interior of 2019 Subaru ForesterI donât know the model, but the insides are brown.
Tsukumo (Does he even go out?): mmhhh⌠just the few times he had to take public transportation since he started college (when he was attending, he then switched to do literally everything remotely, #Unaffected-by-Quarantine), it told him all he had to know about any forms of transportation. If it has to be necessary, then Sugiura will drive him around and is glad to do so.
Tesso (The Finest Electric Bike you can find):
pic: VanMoof X3 Intelligent Electric Bike/ other ex: Cowboy 4He prefers bikes because he thinks they are faster and more versatile.
Akutsu Daimu (I Made It):
pic: Lamborghini Aventador LP 720-4 / other ex: Orange 2015 Ford Mustang GT Finally realized one of his dreams by buying foreign sports cars to establish his image as a âfearedâ & accomplished gang leader. As flashy as it comes, Akutsu mostly use them to show off and imitates the rich and famous of the world (fake it till you make it). While his unique extravagance is showcased trough his vehicle choices, they are mostly reserved for a spectacular entry at parties and for the grams. It helps Akutsu since he always fantasized about being a rapper *play Zicoâs VENI VEDI VICI* (especially the American ones he sees on TV/online) at least living the hip hop lifestyle (money, power & bitches) and being the face of RK helps him accomplish that goal.
Soma thinks all of this is completely foolish since his cars spend most of their time biting the dust in his garage and most of them are OBVIOUSLY too small for his 6â 5ââ gigantic frame. WHAT ELSE TO EXPECT FROM A FLASHY IGNORANT FOOL ANYWAY?

The ongoing trial against Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), former founder of the FTX crypto exchange, coupled with the testimonies of Caroline Ellison, the ex-CEO of Alameda Research and his former romantic partner, has unveiled a slew of crazy stories and intrigues. Given the rapid pace and depth of these developments, weâve distilled the most jaw-dropping moments. SBF And Ellisonâs Manipulated Bitcoin Price In a sensational revelation, Caroline Ellison admitted that there was a coordinated effort between her and SBF to maintain Bitcoinâs price below $20,000. âKeep selling BTC if itâs over $20K,â Ellison allegedly noted from one of their conversations. The motivation behind this move, according to Ellison, was to entice investors by selling equity, thus raising more funds. FTXâs Bribery In China An equally serious allegation against Bankman-Fried is the alleged payment of $100 million in bribes to Chinese officials to release $1 billion in funds from Alameda Research. Ellison testified about a heated debate with employees in 2021 about how to release the $1 billion held across two Chinese crypto exchanges. Alameda endeavored for a year to unfreeze the funds. Ellison also revealed that they used the identities of âThai Prostitutesâ in a bid to extract frozen funds from the Chinese exchange OKex. Ultimately, the attempts culminated in a pivotal moment when Bankman-Fried and his team discovered that a payment of $100 million to two crypto wallets could facilitate their release. The ensuing discussions about making the payments took a contentious turn when an employee, Handi, ardently objected, prompting a heated reaction from Bankman-Fried. Handi, a then-employee whose father was affiliated with the Chinese CCP, encountered a chilling stare from SBF, followed by the harsh exclamation, âshut the **** up.â After Handi exited the company, dark humor unfolded in a Signal chat between SBF and Ellison, jesting, âHope her dad doesnât turn us in LOL.â A Scam Targeting Saudi Royalty During her testimony, Ellison informed jurors that one method SBF contemplated for repaying FTX customer accounts involved soliciting funds from the Saudi Crown Prince. Precise details are not known. Ellison Was Forced To Drive A Honda Civic Sam Bankman-Fried, always attuned to the nuances of his public image, intentionally cultivated a persona that some described as a âdisheveled nerdâ. Caroline Ellisonâs testimony delved into this, suggesting that SBFâs carefully curated image wasnât just about personal brandingâit was a strategic move to appeal to investors and attract customers. Ellison further disclosed that during her initial days at Alameda, both she and SBF sported luxury vehicles, courtesy of the companyâs payroll. However, in line with his image of frugality and modesty, Sam later made a decision to downgrade their vehicles. He opted for a Toyota Corolla, while Ellison was assigned a Honda Civic. Prominent X account, Autism Capital, commented, âPoor Caroline was forced to drive a Honda because Sam was forced to drive a Corolla.â Plotting Against Binance Ellison disclosed that a major focus for SBF and FTX last year was to encourage regulatory authorities to take stringent actions against Binance. The intention behind this maneuver was to boost FTXâs position in the market. Prosecutors found out that âgetting regulators to crack down on Binanceâ was on Ellisonâs to-do list, however, she remained tight-lipped about the specifics of how SBF aimed to achieve it. Massive Losses Due To Security Lapses A shocking claim from former engineer Aditya Baradwaj details how Alameda Research allegedly lost $190 million through avoidable blunders and lackadaisical security practices. The most striking case involved an Alameda trader who inadvertently activated a malicious link found atop Google Search results. This mishap occurred while the trader was validating a decentralized finance transaction, ultimately resulting in a loss exceeding $100 million. In another worrying
episode, Alameda experienced a $40 million setback from yield farming on an unverified blockchain platform. Ellisonâs Mystery Gambling Venture Caroline secured a substantial loan of $3.5 million, intended to launch a gambling venture that others proposed to establish under her name, leveraging her non-affiliation with FTX. The lingering question remains: what precisely was the goal of this company? At press time, the token of the crypto exchange FTX, FTT was trading at $1.0441.
