"The "Ginga" corps appears on the Yokote police station's crime prevention poster Confronting "evil" with friends!"

"Absolutely no special fraud, gangsters, and drunk driving! ―A character from the “Ginga” series by manga artist Yoshihiro Takahashi, who was born in Higashinaruse Village, has appeared in a new crime prevention poster for the Akita Prefectural Police Yokote Police Station (Chief Hiroshi Hatakeyama).

The posters that call attention to special frauds are lined with Akita dog Gin, the main character of the masterpiece "Ginga Nagareboshi Gin", and his companions. The posters appealing for the extermination of gangsters and drunken driving are full of main characters from the sequels "Ginga Densetsu WEED" and "Ginga Densetsu WEED Orion". Takahashi was also involved in the design of each poster, with the concept of cooperating with friends to confront "evil".

In response to Chief Hatakeyama's call, the Yokote District Financial Institution Crime Prevention Association, the Yokote District Crime Prevention Committee, and the Yokote Safe Driving Managers Association produced 500 copies each. On the 12th of this month, representatives of each organization donated posters to the Yokote police station. In the future, it will be posted at financial institutions, convenience stores, roadside stations, etc. in the jurisdiction.

I always wanted to give something back to my hometown. On October 11th, he will serve as a one-day chief of the Yokote police station in conjunction with the National Community Safety Movement."

Fraud Poster


Organised crime poster


Orion shouting "I will never forgive you !!!" for drunk driving.

First poster:
Hold on before making that money transfer!

Exercise caution when discussing money over the phone!

Stamp out tokushu sagi!

Second poster:
Stamp out Yakuza!

Let's get rid of Yakuza together, everyone!

Third poster:
"I'll never forgive you!" (or alternatively "I'll make you pay!" or something similar)

Stamp out drunk driving!

Tokushu sagi is apparently some sort of scam where the scammer contacts victims over the phone and convinces them to send money via bank transfer. Also the second poster uses the term "bōryokudan" which is apparently a term Japanese police and media use for Yakuza.

ngl the third poster is my favorite because Orion threatening you if you drive drunk is kind of hilarious in an absurd way. He's absolutely right, but there's just something about the idea of a cartoon dog presumably threatening to kick your ass for drinking and driving that's just so delightfully surreal.

I saw this over on Twitter yesterday! I think this is very cool! I would fight to get those posters!

I wonder if these will also get distributed as flyers as well, like the earlier phone scam posters. I doubt many of the posters are going to end up in fans' hands (I mean I guess some people might end up keeping them once they're done being displayed in public places?), especially if there's only 500 of each of them printed to begin with. But if they made them into flyers they'd be much easier to get hold of.

The drunk driving poster is my favourite too because of orion yelling. Also I like the design more... the kanji going off the edges on the other two bother me!

Stealing a crime prevention poster to sell online probably doesn't fly culture wise so I'm settling for just having the image saved

[Sandatora]

Maybe Orion's white Kishu mate crossed the road without looking both ways first

I wonder how many people are going to steal and sell the posters online anyways lol

Wow, I saw it on Twitter and I was wondering what is typed there, thank you for translation, good idea

I don't know about you guys but I find this so odd and hilarious at the same time.
The Ginga series is full of violence and crime alike, it's the situation folk have with the Pokemon Movie and preaching that 'fighting is wrong!' Half the content is nothing but fights! Also drunk driving?!?!? How the hell does Orion and his friends know about drunk driving??? Next thing you'll tell me they'll make a comic about him and his mates drinking and falling off a cliff! Hands up who knows what I'm talking about there

Seriously there should a parody story to follow this up where Hougen and his goons are leaders of a organise crime group who help fund fraud schemes through mobile phones and Gin and Weed have to stop him as well as deal with Orion and his drinking problem!
