"Black Impulse" is Mikey's second personality, which began to develop in his early childhood. This personality develops due to the deaths of people close to Mikey. It first manifested when Senju broke Mikey's plane, but she blamed it on Sanzu, causing Mikey to tear Sanzu's skin off around her mouth and also cripple Bajie. This condition can also persist for several years.

Adrenaline Rush - When Mikey enters the Black Pulse, his stats are greatly increased.
Pain Ignorance – Also, when Mikey enters Black Impulse, he is able to ignore damage from his opponent's physical attacks. This was demonstrated very well in his fight against Saus, where, while exchanging blows with him, Mikey completely ignored the damage he received, despite his opponent previously demonstrating complete dominance over Doraken.
Unleashing Potential - When Mikey enters the Black Pulse, he is able to unlock his full potential and remove the shackles from his power. This was demonstrated in the fight against Hanma, when Mikey only held his

Haruchie Sanzu (Number Two)

Height: 172 cm.
Weight: 55 kg.

Dress Code: In Bonten, he wears a blue and purple formal suit. He no longer uses the mask he used to wear to hide his scars.

Status in the hierarchy: Second number (deputy leader).

Role in the organization: Performs especially important and risky tasks of the leader.

Extroverted and loud, a stark contrast to his teenage image.

Ruthless and cruel - displays psychopathic tendencies, takes sadistic pleasure in dealing with "traitors".

Fanatical loyalty is his main trait: he considers Manjiro Sano ("Maiki") his "king" and is ready to do anything for him.

Manipulative - capable of pretending for a long time and using other people for his own purposes (example - long-term manipulation of Mucho).

Impulsive and manic, this was largely influenced by drug use, which exacerbated his madness and aggression.
Sadism and euphoria from violence. He openly enjoys executing "traitors," claiming he's carrying out Mikey's will.
Contradiction. Despite his madness, he is capable of admitting his mistakes: after confronting Maika's dark side (the curse), Sanzu realizes he was in a trance due to blind devotion.
Contradiction. Despite his madness, he is capable of admitting his mistakes: after confronting Maika's dark side (the curse), Sanzu realizes he was in a trance due to blind devotion.

Sanzu Haruchiyo is a complex character with a dramatic transformation. From an unruly but relatively calm teenager, he transforms into a cruel, maniacal fanatic whose life is completely devoted to worshiping Maika.

Kakucho (Number Three)
Age: 27 years Height
: 181 cm
Weight: 63 kg.

Appearance: Black hair, cut to zero. A noticeable scar running from the back of the head to the left side of the face (slightly touches the left eye, which is partially blind). On the lobe of the right ear there is a drop earring.

Dress Style: In Bonten, he wears a knee-length black cape, sweatpants, and sandals.

Status in the hierarchy: Number three.

Role in the organization: One of the leader's closest associates, participates in strategic decisions.

Cool-headed and calculating, Kakucho acts as an effective manager: he assesses risks, plans operations, and minimizes losses. Emotions have little influence on his decisions.

Authority without show. He doesn't need grand pronouncements—his word carries weight thanks to his reputation and power. Subordinates obey without unnecessary reminders.

Pragmatism. In Bonten, Kakuchō is willing to use methods he previously considered unworthy: blackmail, bribery, and the elimination of competitors without a challenge.

Maintaining his principles—but within a new framework. He still values ​​discipline and order, but now they are necessary for the smooth operation of the criminal machine.

Emotional control. Kakucho suppresses personal feelings (such as nostalgia for the past) to avoid interfering with the organization's work.

Strategic thinking. He sees the big picture: he doesn't just fight enemies, but calculates the chain of consequences, including the impact on Bonten's reputation and revenue.

Loyalty to the structure, not the individual. While he previously served Izana as a "king," in Bonten his duty is to the stability and success of the organization. This makes him more flexible, but also more rigid.

Manifestations in behavior
Interaction with colleagues. Kakuchō is respected even by the most dangerous leaders of Bonten (like Ran Haitani). He communicates without arrogance, but with clear boundaries—no one dares to disregard his opinion.

Management style. He gives orders concisely and clearly, demanding precise execution. Mistakes are punished—softness is tantamount to weakness at Bonten.

Conflict tactics. Kakuchō prefers to neutralize a threat before it materializes: reconnaissance, pressure on key individuals, and isolation of the enemy. If combat is inevitable, he acts swiftly and ruthlessly.

Attitude to the rules. In Bonten, there are no "fair fights"—there is efficiency. Kakucho accepts this, although he may secretly consider such an approach dirty.

Reaction to challenges. When Takemichi tries to influence him by reminding him of the past, Kakucho firmly replies, "Things are different now." He deliberately cuts off sentimentality.

Takeomi Akashi (Advisor)
Age: 37 years Height
: 183 cm.Weight
: 72 kg.

Status in the hierarchy: Advisor.

Role in the organization: Advises the leader, assists in the management of the syndicate.

Cool-headedness and composure. In critical situations, Takeomi remains calm, unaffected by emotions, and acts rationally. This makes him a reliable ally and a dangerous adversary.

Authority without aggression. He doesn't seek public dominance or showboating. His influence is based on respect, intelligence, and experience, not brute force or intimidation.

Loyalty to principles and the organization. Takeomi is devoted to Tokyo Swastika and its ideals. He is willing to protect the interests of the gang and its members, even when it requires difficult decisions.

Pragmatism. He understands that in the criminal world, one cannot act only "honorably": sometimes one must compromise, negotiate, or eliminate threats before they materialize.

Caring for the Young. Despite his stern personality, Takeomi displays a fatherly concern for the younger members of the gang. He mentors them, warns them against mistakes, and tries to protect them from the fatal consequences of reckless actions.

Realism and a sober view of the world. Takeomi doesn't idealize the gangster life: he sees its dark side and understands the price of power. This distinguishes him from more impulsive leaders.

Empathy. Unlike many other authority figures, he has the ability to listen and understand the motives of others. This helps him resolve conflicts and find allies.

Manifestations in behavior
In conflicts: avoids senseless cruelty. If a deal can be reached, prefers negotiations to fighting. But if a fight is inevitable, acts decisively and effectively.

In leadership: gives clear instructions, explains the logic behind decisions, and does not humiliate subordinates. His style is mentoring, not dictatorship.

Interacting with leaders: He's able to find common ground even with charismatic and hot-tempered leaders (like Mikey). He gently corrects their decisions without directly challenging their authority.

Age: 26 years Height
: 183 cm.Weight
: 76 kg.Appearance

: Tall, slender, but with pronounced muscles. Hair is long, styled in a high ponytail; The color is dark chestnut with lightened strands on the top of the head (highlight effect). The face is refined, but with "sharp" features: high cheekbones, a straight nose, thin lips. The gaze is often calm, almost lazy, but in a fight it becomes cold. There are tattoos on the body (characteristic of the Bonten line), including on the arms and chest.

Clothing style (full list):
fitted suit of dark gray or charcoal color (jacket and trousers);

Status in the hierarchy: one of the top managers/captains in Bonten.

Role in the organization: responsible for security operations and control of territories. He often acts in tandem with his brother, coordinating fast and tough raids. In the manga, his image emphasizes the combination of elegance and willingness to violence: he looks like a "stylish fighter".

Independence. Ran dislikes following orders from his superiors and emphasizes his autonomy, including through his clothing style, which differs from the gang's uniform. He and his brother position themselves as a distinct duo, unwilling to fully integrate into any group.

Capricious and mysterious. His behavior can be unpredictable, which creates an aura of mystery around him.

A limited circle of trust. Ran respects and trusts very few people: primarily his younger brother, Rindō, and has also previously acknowledged the authority of Izana Kurokawa and Kakuchō. He treats others with indifference or condescension.

Self-confidence and a tendency to tease. He may speak with feigned sympathy, for example, "begging forgiveness" from an opponent before an attack. He enjoys being the center of attention, especially when it comes to joint activities with his brother.

Ruthlessness in combat. Ran doesn't seek a fair fight: he readily uses weapons (metal clubs, bricks, etc.) and cunning tactics to guarantee victory—even against stronger opponents. He cares nothing for the extent of the injuries he inflicts or the consequences for his enemies.

A deep attachment to his brother. Ran genuinely cares for Rindo: he worries when he gets injured and actively encourages him in their fights. Protecting and supporting his brother is one of Ran's top priorities.

Style and Aesthetics. Ran and his brother are known as "the most stylish criminals." The character pays close attention to appearance, fashion, and the impression they make on others.

Summary: Ran Haitani is a charismatic, calculating, and ruthless leader with a strong sense of independence. His loyalty is extremely selective, extending only to those he truly respects (primarily his brother). Behind his outward capriciousness and theatrics lies a cold pragmatism: he is willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals, disregarding the norms of a "fair fight." Independence. Ran dislikes following orders from his superiors and emphasizes

Rindo Haitani
Age: 24 years Height
: 178 cm.Weight
: 68 kg.Appearance

: A little shorter and more compact than his brother, but more explosive in plasticity. Her hair is short, combed back, dark brown with contrasting blonde strands at the temples. Facial features are sharp: sharp chin, narrow eyes, eyebrows with a kink. He is often depicted with a half-smile that looks almost mocking. There are scars (small, on the cheekbone and above the eyebrow), which emphasizes his combat experience. Bonten tattoos are on the shoulders and forearms.

Dress Style (full list):
Two-piece suit in navy blue or graphite (more relaxed cut than Ran's);
a pastel blue or white shirt, often with rolled up sleeves;
the tie is missing or replaced with a thin accent chain;
sneakers or boots with thick soles (black or dark gray);
accessories: massive rings, metal bracelets, sometimes a choker;
Optional: Leather jacket over suit in street scenes.

Status in the hierarchy: top manager/captain, acts in conjunction with Ran.

Role in the organization: specialist in street clashes and suppression of resistance. Rindo is a "fast and sharp" fighter: he is responsible for speed, surprise, and intimidation. His image is intentionally a little less "ceremonial" than Rahn's to emphasize impulsiveness

Sadism. Rindo clearly enjoys fighting and causing injury—this is what landed him in a juvenile correctional facility as a youth. In combat, he shows no restraint and is willing to maim his opponents.

Arrogance and self-confidence. He prides himself on his own and his brother Ran's fighting skills and demonstrates this to those around him. This sometimes leads to reckless decisions: for example, he loses a fight to a stronger opponent due to overestimating his own strength.

Stoicism and composure. Unlike the playful and expressive Ran, Rindo prefers to maintain a calm demeanor. He is reserved in his emotions, creating the image of a calculating and dangerous opponent.

Sarcastic. During duels, Rindō makes caustic remarks and ridicules his enemies, emphasizing his own superiority. This is part of his psychological pressure tactics.

Pride and independence. Rindo dislikes being perceived as the "younger, weaker brother." He strives to prove his strength and importance, though he acknowledges Ran's authority and values ​​their partnership.

Authority. Rindō has a reputation as a powerful criminal: he ruled the Roppongi district, led gangs, and held high positions in the Sky, Rokuhara Tandai, Swastika Kanto, and Bonten.

Loyalty to his brother. Despite his outward aloofness, Rindo is deeply attached to Ran. He works with him as a partner, relying on their synergy, and views their partnership as a single entity—a symbol of their shared authority and strength.

Manifestations in behavior and actions
Signature fighting tactics: He specializes in joint locks and limb breaks, reflecting his brutality and pragmatism—he strives not just to win, but to incapacitate his opponent in the most painful way possible.

Style and image: pays attention to his appearance (glasses, earrings, well-thought-out hairstyles), which emphasizes his individuality and desire to stand out even within gangs.

Attitude to gangs: Rindo and Ran are not attached to one gang - they move from one to another, maintaining independence

Height: 174 cm.Weight
: 65 kg.Appearance

: Medium height, thin, but wiry. Her hair is of medium length, carelessly styled, dark blonde with an ashy undertone. The face is thin, with large expressive eyes and a slightly pointed profile.

Status in the hierarchy: financial/operational manager, one of Bontin's key managers.

Role in the organization: responsible for money, logistics, connections and "clean" work without direct violence.
‎

Calculation and pragmatism. Koko perceives the world as a series of calculations: his every move is aimed at gaining profit. He acts solely in his own interests and is willing to sever ties with those who have lost power or influence.

An obsession with money. The thirst for profit is one of the main driving forces behind his actions. However, this trait has tragic roots: his desire to earn huge sums stems from an attempt to pay for the treatment of his girlfriend, Akane Inui.

Cold rationality. He's not susceptible to emotion, preferring to analyze situations and construct complex schemes. This makes him a valuable asset for any criminal organization.

Cunning and manipulative, Koko masterfully uses others to achieve his goals. He organizes criminal schemes, invests in the perpetrators, and profits while remaining in the shadows.

Authority and Influence. Despite his lack of brute force, Koko wields considerable influence in the criminal underworld thanks to his financial skills and strategic thinking. He is often invited to senior financial positions.

Inner vulnerability. Behind the cynical facade lies a traumatized man. Akane's death was a blow he never fully got over.

Affection. Despite his pragmatism, Koko is capable of forming attachments to people. After Akane's death, he begins to care for her younger brother, Inui, seeing him as a connection to the past.

Ambition. His main goal is to become a winner, achieve success, and gain power. This motivates him to constantly increase his influence and wealth.

In financial matters: Koko is a genius of criminal economics. He creates complex schemes for money laundering, investing in criminal projects, and maximizing profits. His skills are in demand by all major gangs.

In conflicts: Doesn't seek out fights, but is capable of standing up for himself. He proved himself a worthy fighter, fighting on equal terms with Inui and fending off Wakasa Imaushi.

In interactions with others: communicates only with those who can benefit him.

Kanji Mochizuki (Top Manager)
Age: 30 years old
Height: 194 cm.Weight
: 94 kg.

Appearance: Powerful, massive build. Dark hair is styled in a mohawk with a pigtail that goes down to the neck. Angular eyebrows give the face a formidable look.

Dress Style: He wears a black shirt underneath his red uniform (common to some previous gangs, such as "Tenjiku", where he came from).

Status in the hierarchy: One of the four top managers.

Role in the organization: Leads a specific direction or group within the syndicate.

Impulsiveness and emotionality. Kanji often acts on impulse rather than cold calculation. This sets him apart from other members of Bonten, who value composure and pragmatism.

Loyalty to loved ones. For Kanji, loyalty to his friends and those he considers family is paramount. Even in the brutal environment of Bonten, he strives to maintain human connections.

Vulnerability and naivety. Unlike seasoned criminals, Kanji hasn't yet fully adapted to the organization's ruthless rules. He sometimes idealizes the relationships within the gang.

The desire to prove himself. Kanji wants to earn respect in Bonten. This drives him to take risks—he's willing to rush into battle to demonstrate his strength and usefulness.

A sense of justice. He has an internal moral compass. Kanji dislikes senseless cruelty and can internally protest against Bonten's particularly vile methods.

Adaptability. Over time, Kanji learns to control his emotions and act more prudently. He begins to understand that in Bonten, those who can control their impulses survive.

Loyalty to the structure. Despite internal conflicts, Kanji strives to follow orders and adhere to the organization's rules, recognizing that rebellion could cost him his life.

Fear and insecurity. Bravado often hides a fear of failing to live up to expectations or appearing weak in the eyes of senior gang members. This creates internal conflict.

Manifestations in behavior
In conflicts: Kanji rushes into battle with enthusiasm, but sometimes overestimates his strength. He can lose due to haste or lack of experience.

In collaboration with colleagues:

with equals - friendly, tries to create an atmosphere of camaraderie;

with senior members of Bonten - tries to show respect, but sometimes argues if an order contradicts his moral principles;

With newcomers or the weak, he may show a patronizing attitude and protect them.

Main areas of activity:

Control of territories and power pressure. Bonten holds entire areas of Tokyo under him, collecting "tribute" from business and suppressing competitors. To do this, they use street clashes, intimidation and demonstrative cruelty: the goal is to ensure that no one even tries to challenge their influence. This is where fighters like Ran and Rindo Haitani are especially in demand: they specialize in fast, demonstrative raids and suppressing resistance.

Illegal gambling and betting. In the structure of Bonten, there are closed gambling halls and underground sweepstakes. This is one of the main sources of income: big money and fast turnover. This part is often the responsibility of management, which organizes sites, controls bets, and resolves conflicts with losers.

Fraud, money laundering and financial schemes. Kokonoi plays a key role here: he builds chains of shell companies, transfers funds through legal businesses and makes the syndicate's income "clean". In the manga, his line is about how criminal money turns into assets that can be used without risk.

Trade in prohibited goods and black market services. The sphere of interest includes the supply and sale of substances, weapons, stolen goods, as well as illegal services (including those related to the shadow economy). These are high-margin but risky areas that require strict coordination and cover.

Custom services and violent resolution of conflicts. Bonten does "work" for other criminal players: eliminating competitors, knocking out debts, kidnapping, intimidating witnesses. This is not a mass business, but targeted operations, where the reputation of "those who will do everything and leave no traces" is important.

Use of legal cover. The syndicate maintains a network of "clean" businesses (bars, clubs, car services, small retail outlets), through which it legalizes income, stores cash and coordinates actions. Such points also serve as points for collecting information and transmitting messages within the organization.

How the roles of the participants relate to the activity:

Ran and Rindo Haitani are the "striking force" and the control of the streets. Ran is responsible for planning raids and coordinating groups, while Rindo is responsible for speed and surprise. Their task is to quickly and firmly resolve power issues so that competitors understand that it is not profitable to get involved with Bontin.

The cocoon is the "brain" of financial transactions. He does not participate in fights, but it is he who makes sure that the money from the gambling business, schemes and services does not attract the attention of the police, but turns into assets. In the manga, this is emphasized by his calm style and the fact that he almost always acts "behind the scenes".

Senior management (Mikey, Sanzu, Kakucho, Akashi) – strategy, resource allocation, negotiations with other syndicates, and decision-making on large-scale operations

Where and how the playgrounds are hidden:

In non-residential or semi-legal premises. Most often, these are the back halls of bars, clubs, underground gyms, warehouses, or "closed" restaurants: the main entrance leads to a regular point, and the casino is behind a separate door, sometimes through a service corridor.

Disguised as other establishments. In the daytime, the room can look like a billiard room, karaoke, slot machine hall (without betting on money) or even a warehouse. This mode is turned on in the evening.

Multi-level access system. Entrance is only by password, a call to the curator or by a "pass" from a trusted person. Often there is an "observation" post at the door, where the guard visually checks the guest with the base (or just knows "his own" by sight).

Emergency exits and escape routes.  Gangs always plan how to leave during a roundup: at least two exits, sometimes secret passages to neighboring buildings or courtyards.

What the hall and areas inside look like:

The "parade" area for players. Poker, baccarat, blackjack, roulette tables; some of the machines (stylized as classic slot machines). The lighting is dimmed, the décor is deliberately "expensive" (velvet, brass, dark wood) - to create an atmosphere of "exclusivity".

Cashier/financial area. A separate room or a fenced corner where money is accepted and dispensed, bets and winnings are recorded. There may also be safes and terminals for quick transfers.

Security and observation room. There are people with walkie-talkies, cameras and a list of "problem" guests.  Bonten's cameras and surveillance are the standard: they know in advance who has come and can react before the conflict begins.

Area for "special" clients. Separate rooms for high rollers, where the stakes are higher and the rules are more flexible. They are allowed there only by personal invitation

Games & Betting Mechanics:

Classic Fixed Limit Games. There are minimum and maximum bets on the tables. For beginners, there are low limits, for "insiders" and high rollers, there are separate tables with high stakes.

Tournaments and "closed" sessions. Sometimes private poker or baccarat tournaments are held, where a narrow circle of people is invited. This is both a way to make money and a way to control the elite: who lost how much, to whom he lent money, etc.

The player can be given a loan secured by property or under the "guarantee" of his business. In the manga, this is how Bonten takes control of small businesses: debts in the casino become leverage

Money, Accounting and Security:

Cash as the basis. Bets are accepted in cash so as not to leave digital traces. The money is counted immediately, stored in fireproof cabinets and regularly taken out.

Double counting. There is "pure" accounting for appearances (who handed over how much, who won) and "shadow" - real amounts, interest and debts. This is done by the financial block (in Bonten, this is Kokonoy's area of responsibility).

Security and "showdowns". There are always a few fighters on the set (often people like Ran and Rindo Haitani or their subordinates) who stop conflicts and make sure that no one cheats. fights and showdowns at casinos are commonplace, and Bontain specifically keeps the reputation of "those who will restore order at any cost."

Personnel control. Croupiers, cashiers and security guards are their own people or verified through guarantors. Any leakage of information is punished harshly, so that others are afraid.

‎

Connection with the rest of Bonten's activities:

Source of income. Casinos are one of the main cash flows, which are then used in other schemes: the purchase of real estate, the financing of new operations, bribes, etc.

Through debts and losses, Bonten gains leverage over businessmen, officials and even small gangs.

Laundering and integration. Part of the money is transferred through legal outlets (bars, clubs, shops) in order to "mix" criminal proceeds with ordinary proceeds. In the manga, the cocoon is responsible for ensuring that these streams do not attract the attention of the police.

Role of specific characters:

Ran and Rindo Haitani. They are responsible for the power control of the site: raids, security, suppression of riots, "education" of debtors. Their style is fast, demonstrative actions, so that everyone understands that it is dangerous to violate Bontin's rules.

Cocoon. It manages the financial side: limits, accounting, distribution of revenue, integration of money into legal schemes. He does not stand at the tables, but he is the one who decides how many bets to take, who to lend to and how to withdraw money.

Top management (Mikey, Sanzu). He makes strategic decisions: whether to open new platforms, whether to change the format, how to respond to pressure from the police or competitors.

What types of legal business does Bonten use:

Bars and nightclubs. The most popular option: a lot of cash, it is easy to "blur" criminal proceeds among ordinary revenues. Plus, such places are convenient points for collecting information and meetings.

Car services and car washes. A good way to hide large sums of money and at the same time control transport: repairs, tuning, sometimes "breaking" license plates and storing stolen goods.

Small shops and stalls (food, cigarettes, drinks). They give a stable flow of cash and the appearance of a "business as usual". It is also convenient to conduct small sales and store small batches of goods through them.

Warehouses and logistics points. They are needed for the storage, sorting and transportation of everything in a row - from legal goods to illegal ones. They are often registered in the name of dummy companies.

Catering outlets (snack bars, cafes). Like bars, they give a lot of cash and a good "background" for financial transactions

How it works as a cover:

Mixing money flows. Revenue from real customers is mixed with money from casinos, schemes, and other things. For the inspectors, it looks like the usual work of the institution.
Fake invoices and fictitious services. They make "paper" for non-existent supplies or work to justify large expenses and write-offs.

Nominee legal entities and chains of companies. Money is being driven through several companies to sever the direct connection with Bontin. This is exactly what Kokonoy is doing: he builds such schemes so that the police cannot quickly trace the source of funds.

Cash as the main tool. The more cash transactions there are, the more difficult it is to track them. Therefore, bars, car services and shops where customers pay in banknotes are ideal.

The role of characters in legal business:

Coconoi is the main architect of this entire system. He decides which companies to open, how to connect them with each other, how to draw up documents so that everything looks legal. In the manga, it is he who is responsible for turning money from casinos and other schemes into "pure" assets: real estate, business shares, accounts.

Ran and Rindo Haitani ensure the "physical security" of these points. They make sure that no one interferes with work, resolve conflicts with competitors and "difficult" customers, protect warehouses and car services from raids and thefts. Their task is to ensure that business can work calmly, even if there is turmoil around them.

Top management (Mikey, Sanzu, Akashi) makes strategic decisions: how many points to open, in which areas, what areas to develop. They also negotiate with other groups and officials so that legal points are not touched.

How a legal business helps Bonten control the territory:

Gathering information. There are always a lot of people in bars, clubs and shops: employees and visitors unwittingly bring rumors, gossip, information about competitors and even about the police.

Leverage. If the owner of a neighboring business is in debt or in the way, Bonten can use his legal points as a tool of influence: for example, to cut off supplies, arrange "inspections" or simply create problems through neighbors.

Infrastructure for operations. Warehouses are needed for storage, car services are needed to prepare transport, clubs are needed as places for meetings and messaging. It turns out that legal business is also the rear base of the syndicate.

Real estate: what Bonten holds and how it works

Types of properties under the control of the syndicate:

Commercial premises (ground floors, separate buildings). Bars, clubs, shops, cafes are the "face" of business and the main way to mix cash. In the manga, such points always have two or three entrances/exits and service corridors: if the police arrive, the group can be quickly taken out.

Warehouses and hangars. Large premises outside the center, with a guarded entrance, cameras and a gate for a truck. They are used to store everything: from boxes of goods to "gray" batches and weapons.

Office blocks and "headquarters" apartments. Small apartments or apartments, where they keep records, store documents and cash, and accept reports. In Bontin's logic, these are "quiet" nodes: a minimum of signs, a maximum of access control.

Residential apartments and houses in different districts. "Transshipment bases": you can hide a person, wait out the roundup, organize surveillance. Often they are registered in the name of straw men so as not to show the connections.

Plots of land and unfinished construction. "Long" asset: the land does not disappear, it is more difficult to track through transactions, and later it can be built up or sold. It is also a lever of pressure on developers.
How to draw up so that they do not track:

Chains of legal entities. Real estate is bought not for themselves, but through several companies, where the real owners are hidden. This is what Coconoy does: he makes the chains believable so that they do not lead to the top of Bontin.

Mixed transactions. Some of the money is spent as "investments", some as "rent" to confuse the tracks.
Physical protection. Any point in Bonten is designed for a sudden visit from the police or competitors: cameras, panic buttons, security, emergency exits

Cars and transport: what is used and why

Transport in Bontin's work is logistics, speed and status.

What cars are used:

Business class sedans and sports cars. For leaders and top managers: prestige and speed. In the manga, the style emphasizes status: clean, well-maintained cars, often tinted and without unnecessary details.

Vans and minivans. For transporting people, equipment, money. They can quickly take away a group of fighters or take out cargo from the warehouse.

Trucks and vans. For large shipments: from legal goods to "grey" consignments. They are often used under the guise of real orders (delivery of furniture, building materials).

Motorcycles. For fast travel, reconnaissance and "shock" groups. In the street scenes of the manga, motorcycles are needed to quickly arrive, get things done, and leave.

Special equipment and cars from the service. In Bonten car repair points, there may be cars with "features": reinforced bumpers, hidden compartments, spare sets of numbers.

Why you need it:

Speed and maneuver. Street operations are often won by the fact that the group arrives first and leaves before the police.

Logistics. Money, weapons, documents and even people must move quickly and unnoticed.

Status and intimidation. The cars emphasize the hierarchy: Mikey and his inner circle have the best cars, the performers have practical and reliable ones

Personal property of the characters:

Ran Haitani. Personal style is a minimum of superfluous: a laconic watch on a leather strap, a pair of rings, sometimes a bracelet. From transport - more often a motorcycle or a fast sedan; He does not like "heavy" cars. His "personal" is a space for fighting: gloves, training equipment, a set of tools (for opening doors, locks) in a separate bag.

Rindo Haitani. An even more utilitarian approach: sturdy boots, a belt with a reinforced buckle, massive rings (they are both a style and a "tool" in a fight). Of the things - only the most necessary: a folding knife, gloves, spare laces, a first aid kit. Transport is a motorcycle or a fast city hatchback: maneuverability is important to it.

Cocoon. His "personal" things are control tools: a thin laptop or tablet in a case, a diary with codes and passwords, a set of flash drives, a watch with a tracker function. As for transport, there is a practical sedan or minivan: it does not want to attract attention. Its status is not in expensive things, but in access to documents, accounts and chains of legal entities.

T-shirts. In Bontin's line, he has almost no "personal" belongings: status is expressed through control over objects. If there's anything personal, it's minimalist accessories (ring, bracelet) that have symbolic meaning. The car is a fast sedan or sports car, but without pretentious details: the style is "strict functionality".

Other property (equipment, controls, valuables)

In addition to real estate and transportation, Bonten holds assets that increase control and generate income.

Equipment for business. Refrigerators, cash registers, furniture, slot machines, bar equipment. All this makes the points "working" and helps to mix the flow of money.

Means of communication and surveillance. Walkie-talkies, cameras, DVRs, access control systems. In the manga, Bonten always has "eyes" on key points, so they can see in advance a manhunt or the approach of competitors.

Safes, fireproof cabinets, containers. For storing cash, documents, seals, keys. These are not "decorations", but mandatory infrastructure nodes.

Valuable items on bail. Sometimes they take not money as guarantees, but things: watches, jewelry, car documents, keys to apartments. This is a quick lever of pressure without unnecessary paperwork

How the roles of the characters are related to property:

Kokonoy is responsible for the "paper" and financial side: he formalizes transactions, builds chains of legal entities, distributes money between objects, and makes sure that assets do not glow.

Ran and Rindo Haitani ensure physical security: they check facilities, organize security, respond to threats, and participate in "negotiations" with those who interfere with work. Their task is to ensure that not a single warehouse, bar or car becomes a vulnerable place.

Top management (Mikey, Sanzu, Akashi) decides which assets to buy, where to open new outlets and how to use the property to put pressure on competitors and officials.
