Meaning Mnemonic

Put a yakuza member in a prison on the sun and he'll become a martyr to all the other yakuza still on earth. He died up there so the rest of them wouldn't have to. Because they definitely aren't getting caught now, if the penalty is a burning death in the new sun prison.

Hints

Imagine all the yakuza coming out into the streets and holding up signs saying this guy was a martyr. A hero to all who do bad stuff in bad groups but don't wanna get caught.

Reading Mnemonic

The only reason he ended up a martyr in the first place is because they put him up there in June (じゅん). Everyone knows the sun is way too hot for humans in June. It's summer!

Hints

Really, it's not the fault of the people who put him there that he's become a martyr. It's the month of June. PUNISH JUNE! PUT JUNE IN THE SUN PRISON! (Is what I assume those yakuza are shouting.)
