Вставка

- Wong Tou, the most underrated character of the entire Like a Dragon franchise, has a backstory that not too many people know about. And you know the best part about that? Is that no one will read this description lol. I don't know how to ride a bike. See? No one is ever going to see me say that.

Ignore the plovers in the background at 3:04 they're stupidly fricken loud birds
thankfully wong tou will come back as a bartender in yakuza 15 so we dont have to worry
Gay lovers with Hanawa
@@MugdhaMahdiShamsnah they won't remember hanawa for that long
@@idkwhattotype511 no they won't just forget joryu gaiden's gay lover.
This man just made up a whole tearjerking narrative for an April Fool's joke, the mad lad
He had my full attention with such a sad and captivating story then proceeded to T-Bag me with the knowledge that its April 1st
I genuinely wish that Wong didn't get written off the way that he was. RGG hyped him up only for him to get axed.
That's how I feel about Dwight as well, they were just kinda there lol.
Seriously. He should've been a party member.
I just genuinely hope his son is okay. It's insanely dark that over half his crew were sleeper agents and even his sitter was ready to ship a little kid off to a known cultist sociopath.
Rgg is falling off 💀
This video is longer than his screentime in Infinite Wealth.
I know this is April fools but I was so confused by this guy's character. At first I thought he would be like....a foil to Ichiban and Kiryu in showing the difference between positive masculinity and his more like "gym bro" additude with how he goes on about how "men aren't allowed to be men anymore in America" and kiryu just says "right.....sure"
Then the stuff with his son happens and I think "oh he'll kinda grow a bit by being around Ichiban"
Then the Fucker just gets shot and dies
And its like they forget about his kid being kidnapped so they had to just do a half cutscene where you find his kid in a shed and just say "You take care of him until we get back!!!"
I adore 8, and most Yakuza games fumble the story 2/3rds of the way in imho, but the story in this game was just really messy.
This
I feel like he was planned to be the fourth party member in the initial draft before the story was changed to be Kiryu's second sendoff
He explained that's what his business caters towards, not necessarily what he actually believes. In the very next scene, the moment Wong steps into the office he kinda immediately start shitting on his customers visions
I'm convinced an early draft of 8 had Ichi's final party be Tomi, Chitose, and Wong Tou. Adachi and Nanba would go back to Japan with Kiryu and Seonhee would join them in Japan. We know Joongi and Zhao weren't planned inclusions and Saeko feels like just as much an afterthought as them.
It's probably just cope + crack theory but keeping him alive just to kill him so unceremoniously reeks.
All he does after the boss fight is yap, say he's gonna help, and die
Hope that was the case. As much as I love Joongi and Zhao they were completely redundant.
Also, this game overindulges in nostalgia everywhere, so it makes sense itd affect the party too. Which is a pity, because I think a wider rotating cast of characters wouldve been a net plus for the series, instead of indulging on older characters whose arcs are already complete.
Omg that would've been soooooo cool😭😭😭😭😭
When you accidentally write better than RGG as a joke.
I genuinely desperately wish Wong Tou survived. He easily could have been a party member or at least an ally. We also deserved to get that whole plot point with his son resolved. Like you can't just show us all his men and even his sitter betraying him and shipping a little kid off to a known sociopathic cultist and not give us closure.
Jokes aside, he should've survived the ambush and joined the party, because Joongi was pointless and too late.
Facts. Joongi felt like he was included just because they could reuse a lot of his assets, animations, etc and then have an even number of characters on the roster. I was sort of expecting Wong to be a playable character because finding his kid and then an eventual redemption arc seemed like it would be a major part of the story but then they just shot him lol.
Right? Would also say Yamai would've made more sense over Zhao. Both Joongi and Zhao just felt like they were thrown in there last minute
As much as I love Joongi to death, I cannot disagree with this 😔
So this is what Vaati meant by Prepare to cry... Cannot stop crying, truly the saddest of all time ever in Yakuza btw Kiwami 3 drops in 5 seconds
I view Wong Tou as a sort of cautionary tale, he basically asks "what if the Yakuza didn't disband in 7?"
And the answer is that a man who has all the skills you need to succeed in the underworld, and a strong ideology fairly well-suited to organised crime gets totally crushed and subsumed by the greater power. He tries to make his own decisions and is immediately betrayed by his own men.
That said the way he died was pretty bullshit.
5:50 that frickin' sound effect...
but anyway, how does Rich Ting look like Wong Tou more than Daniel Dae Kim that GAVE his face for the character??? 😭
That sound effect reminds me of the mission fail sound in the Jak and Daxter games.
It IS the mission fail sound, in fact. It gives me shivers everytime
I think the issue with big Yakuza games is that their narrative falls apart the more characters they have.
They don't spend enough time developing them and showing them through the story.
I was sure this man would've become kinda important but nope.
Pretty sad honestly.
Also happy april's first everyone!
Screw it, if rgg won’t give Wong Tou a backstory, I am considering this canon.
i put this on in the background while drawing and was fully 100% believing it without a doubt until thje end wtf
Hmm, interesting text at 3:18
It took me way too long to realize the joke lol
Did you see the Judgment 3 announcement earlier?
Least evil Judgment fan
Impaired Judgement: The game where Yagami survived the bus accident and we get access to wheelchair heat actions and Ichiban tags up with Yagami.
OW! I HIT THE WRONG TOU
When you go to the doctors and they cut off the Wong Tou:
Genuinely cannot believe I fell for this
my wong has been tou'd
I'm literally crying and screaming watching this video
A little disappointed you didn’t cue in the sad piano music for substories at some random point.
Please give back exactly 5 minutes and 52 seconds of my life
Don’t care if this is an April fool jokes, this is my head canon
It's ok man I dont know how to ride a bike either
he can't ride a bike 😂😂😂
I'm gonna be serious and say that I feel like I was mad with how they handled him. I thought until they stabbed his leg, he was on his way to become a freaking party member, but no. That would've been cool and a much better way to treat him than what they did, having a subplot of him joining Ichi and co to save his son. Honestly that should've happened, and to make it more even, have someone join Kiryu's party in the same vain in Japan, like Majima.
UNCLE BEN FOOTAGE MENTIONED RAHHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️❗❗❗
Gonna come back after i finish chp 9
Don't worry Snowiest, i also don't know how to ride a bike
Did we ever rescue this guys son
Wong Tou my Wong Bro
I thought maybe he would have joined my party on my first playthrough, but I don't have any healing items for a cutscene bullet 😅
Can't believe Kiryu and Wongtou are the same age 😳
Woo
Bro u wasnt on april 1st stream they announced OFFICIAL MERCH
You fucking boomed me. This was how I found out today was April Fool's day.
Wong Tou should have been playable
Bro wrote the story of yakuza 9 as an april fools joke. Well done, encore!!!
Honestly didn't even think it was an april fools joke until 4:19 because a poisonous fountainpen is not always a desired way to avenge ones mother.
Edit: to make my cryptic message even more obvious uhh giftiger Füllhalter means poisonous fountainpen.
Which i haf a stroke translating to english because i am german and REFUSED to use google translate.
yeah same, i ain't german but i did learn it in school, so i immediately noticed bs. Only then i realized what calendar day is it. I fucking hate april fools.
@@user-ho7qh6df6n i agree kinda. I like to do april fools jokes but only when they are as well made as this. If it is some stupid dumbfuckery i cannot stand it especially because i am not in the best mental state rn.
(I apologise to bring this onto a random commenter)
@@klaus.sfc01official30 nah it fine, it’s even worse mental state situation here for me since I’ve been diagnosed with latent schizophrenia
@@user-ho7qh6df6n that must be hard. As someone who does not have schizophrenia i won't even begin to imagine what it is like because the only thing about it are the anxiety and halucinations (which exist apperantly) but i won't state anything because i fear to be disrespectful. good luck in your future though i hope you can live a normal life even with your schizophrenia i hope for that to be the case :)
@@klaus.sfc01official30 thank you, brother
“I think I see the power of white women” is fucking killing me
Sorry about your inability to ride bikes man. I am sure ichi balls can teach you
I know you don't know how to ride a bike SnowiestAngeman, checkmate!
LMMMMMMMMMAAAAAOOOO
You can't ride a bike?! Omg, so embarassing
0:49 chienchoba
Guy looks like Azteccross and was actually a cool fight with a great theme, shame he got the treatment he did in the story
I watched my friend play through Infinite Wealth and it seems like a really good game that I’m gonna get to eventually after playing more of the previous ones, but that story had some high points but overall was pretty messy, others here seem to agree
Can’t ride a bike? Same. 👍
Yeah what a shame that Wong Tou then D-
blud made a better backstory than RGG studio for April Fool's
Such a short character to be developed and then passed off real quick.
Arigatou gozaimasu is Japanese for thank you very much 😂
Please stop spreading misinformation. Everyone should know that it's an old Chinese proverb.
They kinda wasted his character. Once he starts chilling at the hideout he does nothing and then just dies.
