      This is my favorite intro in the entire game, better than even the final bosses. It shows everything you need to know about Yamai: he's playful and considerate with his peers, and brutal with his enemies. This fight is where he stops being just a recorrent boss and becomes a character.
      Also, It shows how much Ichiban grew as a fighter. The way he avoided having his arm broken by placing the crowbar between his arm and forearm JUST before the title card stops is just amazing.

    Definition of Kooky: Used to describe something (especially of a person) strange in his or her appearance or behaviour, especially in a way that is interesting.
    Consider this is Yamai theme and how he look (My man wore a suit with another trench coat on top of it in Hawaii) and his slick and cold af behaviour but eventually we find him interesting after interact with him and know his character back story, it understandable why they choose this name for his theme.

  • @somethingofnote9241
    @somethingofnote9241 5 місяців тому +7

    Something I noticed is that Yamai is almost like a reverse Majima.
    Spoilers:
    His psuedo-rivalry with Ichiban is very akin to Kiryu's relationship with Majima, but the temperaments are switched, with Ichiban being the over the top, loud one and Yamai being the grounded,, stoic one. Not to mention Yamai's origin revolves around killing his patriarch on the orders of a woman he loves, while Majima's was him protecting a woman he loved against the orders of his patriarch. Both up getting played and go insane, but they lose themselves in opposing manners, with Majima dialing it up to 11 and Yamai dialing it down to 1.
    Even their outfits mirror each other. Majima's Iconic fit has him wearing shirtless blazer with gloves, showing off a lot of skin, but Yamai bundles up to three layers with a turtleneck, buttoned up suit jacket, and his a second jacket he wears on his sholders; Weirdly, Yamai isn't wearing gloves, but instead we can clearly see his socks (which are pretty much just foot gloves.
    I hope they *actually* make him Ichi's Majima and have him as a bossfight in every single game.

    His voice actor is quite a veteran in Japan, and the casting cost is just as expensive as Yamadera, who played Akiyama.
    Let's hope he'll be back. Perhaps if Yokoyama's photos or activities with Yamai's voice actor Takehito Koyasu are posted, chances are high that he will appear in a sequel.
