== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' episode "Ballad of Fallen Angels," Spike's former [[Mentor]], Mao Yenrai was killed in Vicious's introduction scene for trying to make peace between the Red Dragon Syndicate and another Mob. Later, the Red Dragons would have a mini civil war when Vicious launched his coup.
* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'': A constant threat in [[Black Lagoon|Roanapur]].
** Specifically, an all-out war against the Yakuza during the Fujiyama Gangster Paridise arc. However, it is noted that potential mob conflicts solve themselves once a third party gets involved: Roberta in the ''El Baille de la Muerte'' arc and Hansel and Grettel in the Vampire Twins arc.
* In the ''[[Gungrave]]'' anime, the out-of-town Lightning organisation's attempt to take power from [[The Syndicate|Millennion]].
* ''[[Baccano!]]!'' has several, most notably the one between the Gandors and the Runoratas in the ''"Drugs and Dominoes''" arc. Likewise, there's serious bad blood between Jacuzzi's [[Delinquents|street gang]] and the Russo mafia family set up in Chicago, and part of the reason Jaccuzi's hitched a ride on a transcontinental train to New York is to escape their interest.
* Essentially the plot of the second season of ''[[Durarara!!]]'', and also a part of the back story for several characters.
* Several arcs of ''[[Tokyo Crazy Paradise]]'' center on potential or actual mob wars, sometimes with [[Psycho Serum]]-fueled monsters.
* Happens in ''[[Heat Guy J]]''. The head of the Wei family is ''not'' happy that Clair has been made head of the Leonelli family (One, it interferes with the Wei family's power, and two Clair is [[Ax Crazy|nucking futz]].) He tries to absorb the Leonelli family into his own, and when that fails, slights Clair (and attempts to poison him) at a luncheon/dinner. An all-out fight ensues, with great losses on both sides. Clair responds by sending a tanker truck full of napalm to the Wei family's district. {{spoiler|Daisuke stops him, though.}} (In the manga, he dispenses with the napalm and has his girlfriend build a sexy gyndroid to seduce and strangle Wei. There is also no explicit mention of an all-out Mob War, though that could simply be because the manga is so short.)
