Very reminiscent of lord of the flies, with the gang of pre pubescent boys basically on their own (one of the boys parents are never home) and creating their own organisation with twisted rules and ideals. It's clear that the 'chief' has some twisted fantasies and the others just follow along to gain his respect and favour.
Graphic animal abuse and killing for their curiosity and fantasy.
Hypocritical values- resent their father's for being abusive and beating them but then resents ryuji for being 'soft and romantic'.
