Leans Traditional
Primary

Secondary
Family Values: Leans Progressive
Confidence: Medium
The film primarily portrays a Yakuza 'chosen family' where loyalty to the gang boss supersedes biological family ties, with traditional marriage, parenting, and domestic gender roles largely absent or secondary to the criminal enterprise. This emphasis on a non-biological, hierarchical 'family' structure leans towards a progressive depiction by prioritizing chosen family over traditional models.
