A chilling video allegedly depicting a Yakuza member undergoing a gruesome punishment has resurfaced online, drawing attention to the notorious Japanese criminal underworld. The footage, believed to be from years past, captures a man forced to sever his own finger as part of a traditional Yakuza ritual known as yubitsume. The graphic scene shows the individual struggling with a knife, hacking at his finger multiple times, intensifying the agony as each clumsy cut prolongs the suffering instead of delivering a clean sever.
While the Yakuza’s influence has reportedly waned in modern Japan, such footage underscores the violent traditions that once defined their operations. Authorities have yet to comment on the video’s reappearance or its authenticity, but it continues to circulate on dark corners of the internet, shocking audiences worldwide.
