''Tokyo Tribes'', also known in Japanese as ''Tokyo Tribe-2'' (orトウキョウ トライブ トゥー) was a short-lived anime series that ran from November 2006 until February 2007. Like its original manga authored by [https://www.santa.co.jp/profile Santa Inoue], the plot focuses on a group of gangs, known as "tribes", taking ownership of Japanese territories during a period of peace within the island. Among these gangs, the three most prominent ones are the Shivuya Saru Gang (the one our protagonistic characters are affiliated with), the Wu-Ronz Gang (common enemies in the show), and the most powerful of them all simply known as the Buppa Clan. | ''Tokyo Tribes'', also known in Japanese as ''Tokyo Tribe-2'' (orトウキョウ トライブ トゥー) was a short-lived anime series that ran from November 2006 until February 2007.

As our protagonists deal with the daily struggles that all gangs have to go through such as drug trading and vandalism, one of them named "Mera" (メラ) is constantly confronting his grisly step-father named "[https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Buppa Buppa-sama]" (ブッバ様, or just simply "Buppa") who killed both of Mera's biological parents. With a deep-rooted vengeance, Mera sees it as his life goal to put an end to Buppa's mafia, their criminal activities, and to avenge his parents. | As our protagonists deal with the daily struggles that all gangs have to go through such as drug trading and vandalism, one of them named "Mera" (メラ) is constantly confronting his grisly step-father named "[https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Buppa Buppa-sama]" (ブッバ様, or just simply "Buppa") who killed both of Mera's biological parents.
