Representation

 I am going to be talking about representation today about one of my favorite video games of all time, Yakuza 0 and how they show off the representation and how life was like for the yakuza and civilians in the 80s in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan.

The first part of describing how this game is represented is the yakuza itself and how they treat other people or civilians as inferior individuals compared to them. Another thing also is being a lower-ranking member of the yakuza compared to others in which they treat the lieutenant, captain, or patriarch(boss) as some god and doing all the tasks they ask and are forced to obey or else they get kicked out, beaten up and possibly killed.

The second part I will be describing on how they represent this game is gender inequality with the females and how they are mistreated back then. They portrayed a meaning that giving girls a ton of money will make them instantly attracted to you with having a side mini game in which you run your own cabaret club and have to defeat this group who are abusing their powers with their money and the women they have. Another thing here is that this game has its fair share of moments with men sexually harassing the females 

The final part is the main characters and how they are personally treated. They both show a good side part of them while having to fight to stay alive against the yakuza. They have inspiring but dark backstories that describe how they were like growing up in the 80s with the yakuza.
