So how "Lawful" your organized crime is will depend on whether or not folks follow those Laws even when they become an inconvenience. And of course, both Lawful and Chaotic characters can exist in an organization that's setup as Lawful.
Yeah. This, as mentioned, is the core conflict of the series. The "ideal of the Yakuza" clashing with "the reality of the Yakuza". The majority of characters absolutely fall under what you're talking about here.
