Meaning Mnemonic
If someone with a gun is headed your direction, nock an arrow in your bow and gather your tribe behind you because it’s about to get real! This cretin with a gun is headed your direction and he doesn’t even know what you and your tribe are gonna do to him. If he gets any closer, you’re likely to shoot that arrow right at him.
Reading Mnemonic
When he starts to get closer, you notice that this guy is a bosozoku (ぞく) bike gang member. Bosozoku means “running tribe” and this guy is running right at you. With a gun. So gather your own tribe behind you and prepare to defend yourself against this bosozoku member.
