Cartel, Yakuza, Mafia. Which would you rather encounter?



Your car breaks down late at night near a dark alley. Some shady guys come in offering their "help"...

Who would you rather them be?

Probably Mafia or Yakuza, but I'm basing my entire opinion based on media representation of these groups.

Yakuza or Mafia might just act normal under normal circumstances.

I dunno anything about any of them outside of the media and stories etc. I always imagined the cartel as openly dangerous, the Yakuza as very dangerous but less open about it than the cartel, and the mafia as more business-like

I get the impression that Yakuza and Mafia are both "won't fuck with you if you don't fuck with them" type deal, but that Mafia have a lower bar for what's considered "fucking with them".

Cartels are more likely to murder you for no reason. Mafia will force you into servitude for helping. The Yakuza seem to only screw with you if you give them a reason to.

Don't yakuza generally have a not attacking westerners unless provoked thing going on?

It's what my Japanese friend told me, but then she also said the younger ones are less into that.

Yakuza.

I have met real Cartel and there is no way out for them, and I dont want any innocent people I know put in harm's way. Mafia are practically blue collar now that make you debt slaves, and if you cant pay on time you have to take a charge. Yakuza probably wouldnt give me the time of day in fear of standing out with a brown Texan.

This. Then again the odds the cartel actually fuck you up (so long as you aren't driving a half million dollar car or some shit) are basically zero as well.

This may come as a shock but people in organized crime are very rarely totally depraved nut jobs who kill for no reason.

Both the Yakuza and Mafia these days aren't as openly dangerous as they once were.

Most of the cartel's "senseless killing" is tribute to Santa Muerte, a death god.

What makes the cartels so terrifying is that many of the factions are essentially death cults.

I saw a person that looked Japanese with tattoos and a missing finger when I was vacationing in the Philippines. This was at some food court outside in manilla. I wonder if he was yakuza lol

The Yakuza doesn't engage in violence just for no reason and are known to legitimately offer communities their assistance after natural disasters.
