Now that you mention it… all the times Majima dropped the “mad dog” act throughout the franchise Kiryu was not there to see. The closest was in 6, but there was no way he could be the mad dog when Kiryu was so worked up over finding Haruka, so I guess Kiryu must’ve chalked it to him being polite.
kiryu had his moments with the real majima in 3 and 4 i mean he still dropped a mean "kiryu-chan!" there in 3 but he was as serious as he usually is without the mad dog act
*Majima before meeting Kiryu:* Lost an eye, almost loses his second eye twice *Majima after meeting Kiryu:* Never loses an eye again Proof that Kiryu improved Majima's life for the better
It's actually really interesting how Kiryu probably has no idea how much he does for Majima just by going along with his antics and fighting him. You can see how much Majima missed his sworn brother Saijima in Yakuza 0, so Kiryu coming in to fill that brotherly void Saijima left behind definitely helped Majima in a dark time in his life. So now Majima pays him back by stalking him in trash cans and excepting invites to go to karaoke.
Majima’s been betrayed, tortured, stalked, had his child killed, and more. Kiryu is one of two people who hangs out with Goro just for fun, the other being Majima’s sworn brother.
@@darklord884 His partner had an abortion without telling him iirc. Not actual child killed but still a very sad loss because he wanted to be a dad. I haven't played the game in which that happens myself, and he did slap his partner in it after finding out about the abortion. But from what I've heard the game just pretends that never happened and covers it up in sequels.
Okay but hear me out. An online co-op beat-em-up where you and up to 3 others play as Kiryu, Majima, Ichiban, and Saejima(As an example) You play it as a single semi-linear campaign, and each pairing of characters has cinematic dual attacks. Adding or removing players alters the fake difficulty, the host can set the AI difficulty. It wouldn't be easy, but if done right I think it would make the fans explode.
Without kiryu: "This life isn't, ISN'T, for me, you know it, I know it, I think everyone knows it, ok? I'll do anything to get back in the game. I damn well mean ANYTHING" With Kiryu: "Oh my goooodddd I didn't know you were into those magazines"
I havent played any yakuza game yet, so Imma interpret this relationship as a much well written version of those hero x villains ships every fandom has.
Do you mean where they're both doing disco in Yakuza 0? I'm pretty sure that's the minigame multiplayer mode for Disco. Me and my friends played it a month ago on PS4.
As someone who's not played a single Yakuza game (yet, calm down), Majima just reminds me of some of my own crew of friends who live with a lot of anxiety. They're under stress a lot, gotta lot of shit to deal with, but when they're finally getting the time with friends they feel comfortable with, they unpack it all and turn into the nuttiest goofballs who are needing that laugh and decompression, because they trust they're not gonna have to face a shunning or set of consequences alone anyway.

Ive always seen these 2 as brothers too due to how close they are with eachother for more than 30 years majima has remained the only one kiryu can never read and is constantly surprising him
The best part about Yakuza 0 is slowly realising its actually Majima's origin story, not Kiryu's, and Kiryu is only in it to justify minor story lore details and half the new substories for Kiwami 1 and 2.
@@gorillaguy042 I got around to the rest of the games, oh boy I was not expecting such a emotional rollercoaster but as they say, Yakuza isn't a game, Yakuza is life.
One day you will realize Masaru Sera was quite literally the person that is the reason Kiryu spent ten years in the joint, Nishiki went nuts, and basically every single thing in Y1/Y2
My wife and I are still convinced that y0 was supposed to be a Majima game but they weren't confident enough in a game without kiryu so they added his section in. Kiryu's segments were relatively forgettable but Majima's had the best parts. Apparently Gaiden did well enough for them to consider doing more small entries between mainline games so maybe Majima will get the entry he deserves.
I dunno, Tachibana's scenes were really awesome for me. Kiryu himself was mostly being guided along by Tachibana, then he fails to save Tachibana and we get to see him grow into a Yakuza. I think it was really neat.
Thing is, Majima was a completely different person in Yakuza 0. He was transformed entirely. And he didn't really know Kiryu back then. So of course he's gonna act differently.
Majima failed to aid his sworn brother Saejima at taking down a rival clan of Tojo in 1984, lost his eye and was eventually exiled from Tojo for years and eventually failed to protect Saejima's sister. Later in 1988 when he was willing to do whatever it takes to get back in Tojo, he was ordered to execute an innocent girl but Majima eventually felt in love with her. When the Dojima family shot her, Majima single handedly trashed the Dojima family. Finally he distanced himself from her to ensure her safety. Later Majima married a woman but the woman aborted their child for her own ambitions which led Majima divorcing her and mourning for his lost child. After all this happened, Kiryu was one of the few persons Majima was comfortable with.
I love this silly little Majimer, I hope his life is completely happy with no tragedy whatsoever!
Let's see what happens to him on LAD: Infinite Wealth
He's gonna die of munancho.
Happy? This mf rising tax 50% for air
Kid named abortion:
He also forgot his name
Majima goes out to meet Kiryu every time he had a traumatic life-changing experience to do a little trolling for stress relief
That just makes Majima Everywhere very depressing
Sounds like your average comic relief
So that's why Majima Everywhere is a thing
Sounds like typical name of new anime
He’s just pouring his time and energy into the one thing he loves, fighting dragon man
