@@Mr.Sax. It's now my tinfoil hat theory that Ichiban is actually Nishiki who not only faked his death, but also suffered memory loss to the point where even though he doesn't recognize Kiryu, he still senses the bond between him and himself. As a result, Kiryu and Nishiki are able to rekindle their friendship and become Best Bros again. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be chugging another bottle of Jack Daniel's so I can forget what happened in Kiwami.
In Yakuza 0, Kiryu performs this song with Nishiki, who he considers a brother. He has not chronologically performed this song since the events of Y0 in 1988. The fact that this is in the newest game which stars Ichiban as our playable character means that not only does Kiryu consider Ichiban to be a brother, but also an embodiment of what Nishiki would have been like had he not strayed from the path.
If you think about it, Kiryu and Nishiki were still good friends who still had drinks with each other at Serena in the 7 years between the end of 0 and the 10 year timeskip in kiwami. So maybe Kiryu was still singing with Nishiki. (I mean he clearly only stopped being "brothers" with him for his safety in the events of 0)
Playing the game I absolutely love how Kiryu views Ichiban and works with him. At least from what I've seen he truly sees Ichiban as the hero as the next generation and more than that, one who has a type of strength Kiryu has always struggled with (relying on others). Kiryu also just has so much fun with Ichiban and his friends. It's so wonderful to see.
@@jacobkern2060 Except that Nishiki was just a Koi saying that he failed to become a dragon as per the legend whereas Kasuga is halfway between the transformation
I like how Kazuhiro Nakaya starts the song with his over-the-top Ichiban voice, but gets more serious as the song progresses, making him sound like Nishiki again towards the end.
Dialogue before the song starts: Ichiban: Let's go Kyoudai! ... just saying (sheepish laugh) Kiryu: hmph that's the spirit. Hear our JUDGEMENT! OMG the feels.
My fav thing in the song every version Japanese va sings is the little crack when he sings “KOWASEIIIII!” It adds to the realism that Kiryu is an amazing singer and can sing his favorite song perfectly, but still isn’t perfect and has raw vocals, it adds to the feeling that he’s singing so hard to him and nishiki’s song with such emotion and isn’t… ahem… obviously autotuned to the ground.
with "every version" you mean nishiki and ichiban's also? cuz if you only mean kiryu's version, they sadly didn't re-record his vocals for infinite wealth, they are exactly the same as 0.
The weird thing is the autotune is apparently not even a Yong Yea thing because he sings all the other songs just fine without it. In fact Ichiban singing this himself *is also auto-tuned* for absolutely no reason when we already have Kaiji Tang singing his goddamn heart out.
makes me a little sad that people entering the yakuza series at infinite wealth won't understand the emotional weight behind kiryu singing judgement with ichiban

Its amazing that the game forces Kiryu and Ichiban into a Bar with a Karaoke mike in Chapter 3 and, as if compelled by some mysterious force; Judgement is just there. Waiting to be selected without having to unlock it or have Kiryu remember a song he hasn't sung in decades. Because somehow, he had the right Kyoudai to sing it with again.
You thought A HIND D could take down Kashiwagi? He just had to disappear for a while and keep you waiting. (in EN at least. In JP Adachi knows his CQC instead.)
@@nicolasalexandrevanveen1066 He first shows up in 7 (Yakuza Like a Dragon) as a mysterious Bartender who looks *exactly* like him down to the scar and then in 8 Richardson the American guy from 3 turns up running a bar in Hawaii in 8. Cannot fucking wait to see what Mine's bar looks like in 9
I love how this series’ character designs have developed over the years. The original Yakuza designs were phenomenal obviously but its truly incredible to see the way that the designs have progressed narratively.
Yo pienso que esto demuestra que kiryu concidera a ichiban mas que un amigo ya que es segunda persona con la que canta jundment siendo la primera Nishki es un muy bonito detalle eso

crazy how kiryu's voice hasnt changed much/at all since y0
Ever since Yakuza 3, both Kiryu's model and voice remained constant
@@drandescancelled2825voice maybe, but model absolutely not
Listen to Yakuza 1 for an actual comparison. Why would you expect someone's voice to change drastically in only nine years?
They reused the same song with minor differences.
The reason Kiryu is so excited singing judgement again is cuz he knows he’ll see Nishiki soon
Two Dragons singing Back to back , thats so wholesome !
So much time passes yet seeing this video just makes it feels like i'm getting yakuza 0 all over again.
