Made in Heaven

Made in Heaven (メイド・イン・ヘブン, Meido in Hebun) are a Yokohama-based bosozoku biker gang featured in Lost Judgment. They are a central faction in the Biker Gang school story.
== Overview ==
"Whoever rules the road writes the rules" is the mantra Made in Heaven follow. It was used by its first representative and found new life under its third representative.
=== Background ===
Made in Heaven is an alliance of all of Yokohama's daredevil biker gangs. It was originally formed by Reiji Murasaki, an aspiring stuntman who found exhilaration in reckless driving through the city's highways. After challenging and defeating the leaders of two other biker gangs in races, Murasaki got them to merge their two gangs, the Bakuon Rairyu and the Raging Angels, as factions within Made in Heaven. 
As their primary activity, the members of Made in Heaven would custom make their own motorcycles and then challenge each other to "death races": Bike races where no rules applied, meaning the competitors could assault each other however they could to win. These death races, predictably, frequently led to the injury or sometimes even death of the participants. Due to the dangerous and illegal nature of these activities, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police frequently tried to crack down on Made in Heaven's activities, but the gang's members largely succeeded in avoiding getting caught by officers.
Around late 2020, after a couple years of running the gang, Reiji Murasaki started to grow tired of the constant danger, a feeling which was magnified after one of his closest friends crashed during a death race and ended up paralyzed. Murasaki would eventually inform Kotaro Seyama, the lead traffic detective from the Kanagawa Police in charge of stopping Made in Heaven, of his intention to shut down the gang. However, during what was to be his final death race, Murasaki crashed at the finish line and died instantly.
After Murasaki's death, his best friend Masaru Akatsuka briefly took over as the group's second leader, but he was less charismatic and popular than Murasaki, so the gang split back into three groups and came close to falling apart entirely. However, soon after, a former junior motocross champion from Seiryo High School called Yuma Suou approached Made in Heaven after learning that some other Seiryo students had joined the gang and challenged the leaders of all the factions, including Akatsuka, to death races. Surprisingly, Suou defeated all of them and persuaded the gang's members to make him their new leader. Under Suou's leadership, Made in Heaven was revitalized and their activity and recruitment grew exponentially.
=== Structure ===
Made in Heaven is made up of four factions. First, Made in Heaven proper are the upper echelon of the gang, led by the group's leader and composed of his closest friends and top racers. 
Second is the Ghost Faction, a group made up of leather wearing thugs who focus on using direct violence as their death race strategy. Their members frequently use baseball bats, crowbars and kicks with studded boots to attack their opponents during competition. Their leader is a mysterious masked man called Ghost, who joined the gang after Akatsuka had taken over as second leader.
The third faction are the Raging Angels. They were an independent motorcycle gang made up entirely of women before Reiji Murasaki persuaded them to join Made in Heaven. They mostly use heavily distorted sound blasts to confuse their rivals during races as their primary strategy. They also have a unique, pseudo-religious view about the death races, considering them trials they must face and eventually die in before gaining entry to "Valhalla", the mystical norse heaven for warriors. Their leader is Rina Minagawa, a heavy metal vocalist and guitarist-turned biker chick.
The final faction is the Bakuon Rairyu (, Lit. "Explosive Thunder Dragon"). Like the Raging Angels, they were also an independent biker gang until Murasaki recruited them. Their members dress like diesel-punk post-apocalypse warriors and utilize fireworks and explosives to stun their enemies in death races. Their leader is Junpei Hanasaki, the prodigal son of a family of fireworks artisans.
== Lost Judgment: 2021-2022 ==
Takayuki Yagami joins the gang on behalf of Kyoko Amasawa, who requested he investigate Suou to see why he joined and to try getting its members to leave behind illegal racing for their safety. He joins the new recruits Koichiro Haruna and Karuta Asama and, after initially being under suspicion for possibly being an undercover agent, he is allowed into the gang after winning a race, but must defeat the heads of the three factions before he can challenge Suou. Each of the faction heads want Yagami to face three of their own before he can face them.
Yagami is able to defeat Hanasaki and Minagawa, and gets them to leave the biker gang so they can work towards their own futures with assistance from Seyama. Meanwhile, Ghost, who is secretly Reiji's yoounger brother Dan, is secretly collaborating with the Neo Keihin Gang to have Made in Heaven join them. Behind his back, the Neo Keihin Gang is radicalizing the Prevention Group under the watch of Masato Otsuki to add pressure to Made in Heaven. After Dan's defeat, Yagami shows Dan proof of him being manipulated, and turns his back on the Neo Keihin Gang. Yagami and Seyama are able to convince him to return to civilian life.
With the three faction heads defeated, Yagami races Oyamada, Kim Won-soon, and Asama to prove himself worth of racing Suou. Yagami emerged victorious against Suou, and becomes the fourth representative of Made in Heaven. For his first an final order, he disbands Made in Heaven, stating he is following Reiji's last wish and the experiences they had together will last even if Made in HEaven fades into legend. Suou is furious, and fights Yagami to try forcing him to reinstate the group, but he is defeated.
Yagami has Made in Heaven perform one act together before they are disbanded: convince Suou's mother to let him continue motocross. They gather outside Suou's apartment and bow before her to persuade her, and are successful. Later, Suou rounds up the members of Made in Heaven to track down Kotoko Itokura and hold off the Neo Keihin Gang. They prevent Matsuhisa Koga from escaping after he is defeated.
