Bangzhuo Du (杜邦卓 Dù Bāng Zhuō) is part of the Poison Brothers gang in Aberdeen.
Biography[]
Bangzhuo has a sly personality. He is also a vengeful person who is merciless. He "earns" a living by blackmailing, sponging off others, and gambling with his older brother, Haohui Du. He uses a knife rather than his fists, but the knife is usually used to threaten his opponents.
Shenmue II[]
Ryo Hazuki first meets Bangzhuo and his brother when searching for the thieves that stole his bag. He asks the brothers if they have seen a group of four people including a kid. Bangzhuo rudely says he doesn't know and tells him to scram. They then demand he pay money before he leaves. He refuses, then Bangzhuo pulls out a knife and they attempt to fight him, until Joy comes, then they leave saying that they'll "give him a break today".
Ryo encounters Bangzhuo and his brother later on when setting up the Chawan Sign at either Ling Ling Porridge, the Canton Cafe, or the Fu Jian Tea Shop. They come for payback and fight him, but he defeats the brothers effortlessly, depending on how he does on the QTE. If Ryo defeats them, they will be intimidated by him, and refer him to the Dou Jiang Diner when he asks about a place where he can eat to set up the chawan sign. If he talks to them again after this event, they will be very nice to him and help him out when he needs it due to them being intimidated by him. If Ryo loses the fight or does not do the fight at all, he won't get the information from them, and they will still be rude to him when he talks to them.
