Interestingly enough, post WW2 Japan had a huge meth problem, with it being made illegal and strictly enforced drug laws. After the ban, many addicts went to illegal sources to maintain their addiction, so a breaking bad scenario in Japan is plausible.

"'To Rant and Rave', (Japanese: 喚き散らす, Hepburn: Wameki Chirasu), also known in the West as "Breaking Bad" is a 1983 yakuza film. Set in the 1970s, it highlights an ill science professor's entrance into yakuza activities after he falls into debt. It is noted for its themes regarding societal pressure, overworking, and drug usage, a problem mostly ignored in Japan at the time. It was extremely popular upon release, and helped save the slowly fading yakuza genre of films in Japan."

​@@fearlesswindowsBad. Wonky pronunciation, weird machine-translated sentences, and as if that wasn't bad enough, some parts were obviously a result of the translation tools misidentifying the characters (eg. 私はあなたの幼い娘を殺します → 私はあなたの誘い娘を殺します), which can only happen if whoever did it threw the original English phrases at a translation tool and then used a different image-based tool (like their phone's Google Translate) to get the pronunciation. But since Breaking Bad was already a series full of comedic moments, I think the bad translation actually adds character and makes it even funnier.
