"Nobody thinks delinquents are cool these days, right? In my big bro's time, there were tons of biker gangs around here. They'd rip through the city on their super-loud motorcycles. They were all bold as hell, fighting all the time, but they took care of their own problems. What's so lame about that? That's why I'm gonna make a new age of delinquents."
― Manjiro "Mikey" Sano (Tokyo Revengers)
