History

Gang War

The Yakuza was a criminal Japanese organization from 119th Street. Someday, K2K, a small street gang from 118th Street, tried to expand their territory and drug traffic and subsequently invaded the Yakuza's territory. This invasion resulted in a brutal gang war, which ended when the Yakuza kidnapped and executed most members of K2K by shooting them to pieces. The Yakuza lined up their corpses along 118th Street to demonstrate their power. This mass execution was investigated by Detective David Tapp and Detective Steven Sing, two homicide detectives who worked for the Metropolitan Police Department. (Saw II: Flesh & Blood)

The Jigsaw Case

Eventually, John Kramer, better known as the Jigsaw Killer, targeted Mitsuka Ito, a member of the Yakuza, and Ronnie Navarro, a drug dealer of the Blood Eye Gang. Jigsaw abducted the men and took them to a room where he had prepared his next trap, which consisted of a pulley system and several large barrels filled with sulfuric acid. Those were propped up above the victims, whose hands were strapped to ropes attached to the pulley system. If pulled simultaneously, the pulley would give them enough slack to reach the exit door. However, they failed to accomplish their task and were killed when their bodies were spilled with acid. After their death, Jigsaw cut two puzzle pieces from their skins before leaving them behind.

Shortly afterward, their corpses were found by the Metropolitan Police Department. Upon examining the trap, Detective Tapp assumed that something prevented them from working together. Following the investigation, their bodies were eventually taken to the morgue. (Saw II: Flesh & Blood)
