Within MS-13, serving prison time is often seen as a badge of honor, elevating a member’s status similarly to earning rank in the military. Denying gang affiliation or claiming innocence is a sign of weakness, potentially diminishing one’s standing within the group.

Shigeru Mizuki (1922-2015) was a Japanese Manga artist and historian. Notable works GeGeGe no Kitaro, Onward Twards Our Noble Deaths, Akuma Kun. He lost his left arm during the war in an explosion so his work has an underlying anti war sentiment. This is the yokai "Baku". A dream eating creature.
