I love that you spend half the game playing these characters and building up the belief that they're amazingly powerful and then Kiryu just storms in and flattens them both effortlessly. Go back to the playground, little boys. The *Adult* is in town now.
Can’t say I thought the same way. I hated that Kiryu was a guest character of his own franchise and when I got to play him I expected him to obliterate everyone else in the game. Got a bit disappointed they settles for a draw with Saejima
@@dragonkamran It's a bit of a symbolism thing. Are you familiar with the Dragon vs Tiger thing? In mythology, they're supposed to be equals; neither of them is capable of defeating the other, at best being able to reach a stalemate.

@@MattMarrod coop would be unbelievably fun. Doing team moves and shit with actual friends sounds like a lot of fun, specially in a game as crazy as yakuza.
Fighting any of the characters in Yakuza games that are also playable as well as being bosses is the weirdest feeling as you’re getting hit by moves you’ve also used on other people, especially when Kiryu hits you with the Tiger Drop, you’re so used to obliterating people with it yourself that when it’s used against you it feels wrong
So are Yumi and Nishiki, as well as more I'm probably forgetting or haven't seen yet. Kiryu needs to stop leaving his enemies lying on the ground after beating them in a fist fight.
@@MugdhaMahdiShams At least Tanimura can disarm folks with guns (I think, he's the only one who disarmed antagonists in cutscenes. Hell, there was a substory when Tanimura charged straight forward a guy who was aiming a pistol at him)
@@deathbykonami5487 They did model him after a real person in the ps3 version This one just looks more detailed because the game itself is more detailed
Akiyama and Tanimura not recognising Kiryu was a little strange. Akiyama knew who Kiryu was that's a fact and Tanimura in his line of work may have heard of him at least But the fight was epic
akiyama probably forgot how kiryu looks after 5 years or didn't know at all and tanimura may have heard that kiryu left kamurocho a year ago and the rumors about his return didn't reach him yet
4:36 I forget which ultimate battle it is, but when doing this fight in one of those i KO'd Akiyama too quickly so this QTE played out with him invisible the whole time
I know it'd probably have put more pressure on the dev team, but it'd have been pretty cool to see the protagonists with different Heat colours. Kiryu of course would be either red or blue, Saejima I can see as green, Tanimura dull white/gray, and Akiyama yellow or purple
Kiryu can keep blue/red, and I can see Akiyama with magenta or purple, Saejima with green, and Tanimura with cyan. If the colors carried over to 5, I'd give Shinada yellow heat.
I just noticed that during the QTE, Ma-chan is trying to do the heat action where he breaks the enemy's arm, but Kiryu is just too strong for it to work
I still don't know how Kiryu was right behind them, but they had so much time to talk in that little alcove before Kiryu arrived. Did you stop for a smoke break, Kiryu? 🤔😋
I took out Tanimura first saw him as too big a threat with his parries so yeah I never saw the Heat QTE especially since I finished the fight by wallbounding Akiyama
They changed him because the previous actor retired. But from evidence it seems like all they did to make this new model was tweak certain parts of the old one and give it different hair. And it's a different voice actor too.
gaminggoddess85 I knew I wasn’t the only one that noticed that “new taninura” still had some of the same facial features as narimaya. Lol the eyes and the facial structure are like the exact same almost
I do wish protagonist fights would be more brutal than this Imagine Akiyama abusing Rush Combo Cancel or Tanimura using Essence of Combo. Shit, imagine Kiryu using absolutely every move he has in the game
Remaster was beautiful, felt as if this fight was more difficult thankfully. What do you think of Tani’s new VA (someone probably already asked you that.

amazing lol
Poetry in motion
I wish they kept (or remixed) "Smile Venomously" for Kiryu's bossfight in 7, this track is so good and fits Kiryu so well, in my opinion.
His theme in 7 is better imo cuz it makes you basically go “oh shit”
@@JD-pz3zk agreed, that would have been nice to see. or well, hear.
They seem to be much more aggressive in the remaster, or am I crazy?
I don't think you are because that's how I noticed enemies are in general with the remaster.
I think it more fun,as enemy should ve aiming to hurt you just as much as you want to hurt them
Thanh Hảo Lê yeah, not like Y3 which was a fucking defense demostration each fight
probably wanted to compensate bc in the original Y4 was the easiest game in the series
Thats what I was thinking! Tanimura went tryhard against Devilleon once he took Akiyama out.

2:21 Mine question when I saw new Tanimura. ;)
Bruh that's Yuya
I used to think that she would be safer with Kiryu but then i remember Rikiya was dead because Kiryu never secure the gun after beat them bosses 😅

@@deathbykonami5487 He gets the same haircut as like 3 other Yakuza characters

Nah, the old Tanimura looks like a 17 year old kpop singer. The new one is way better
Appresh the no commentary, subbed
Man, things got cranked up a notch since the original. I wonder if they took a few cues from Kiwami 2's AI for this one.
It's been a while since I've been this early.

Everyone's heard the name Kazuma Kiryu, but nobody knows what he actually looks like. Even his impersonator didn't recognise him.
People know who Kiryu is, not how he looks like. He's popular because of his actions, not his face. Kinda like a legend.

Aw... you didnt do the cigarette action to finish it
Not while Tanimura kept interrupt Kiryu from doing it
So a light blue aura and a magenta aura meets a red one… We all know what happens…
at this point, the fact that Saejima with extreme bad condition managed to beat Kiryu with good condition is insane
He didn’t beat him though, when the fight was broken off by Haruka Saejima was on the verge of collapsing while Kiryu was unfazed by the whole thing
I know it'd probably have put more pressure on the dev team, but it'd have been pretty cool to see the protagonists with different Heat colours. Kiryu of course would be either red or blue, Saejima I can see as green, Tanimura dull white/gray, and Akiyama yellow or purple

Not gonna lie he looked fine b4 but i can understand why they changed him.
They changed him because the previous actor retired. But from evidence it seems like all they did to make this new model was tweak certain parts of the old one and give it different hair. And it's a different voice actor too.
Nah i think it was drug related with the retired actor or accusations of them using drugs
He retired because of the unfounded accusations.

I do wish protagonist fights would be more brutal than this
Imagine Akiyama abusing Rush Combo Cancel or Tanimura using Essence of Combo. Shit, imagine Kiryu using absolutely every move he has in the game
I have question what style use akiyama shun? (Name of style)
It's not really based on any pre existing martial arts, but it does resemble Taekwondo a little.
In original and remaster, devilleon defeat Akiyama first, but in cut scene Akiyama get on his back after Tanimura. :)
I like to think that Kiryuu thought Tanimura annoying enough that he got his full beating before beat up Akiyama.
Nice work 💪💪👏👏👏👏👏
I’m pretty sure I was supposed to feel bad when I tiger dropped both their health bars to zero

how did you get the old ps3 buttons? it shows ps4 ones to me
no one gonna talk about the sync in 4:38 ?
Akiyana kick drop vs kiryu tiger drop
Question: If Akiyama's so good at reading people, how is he not able to tell Kiryu's not an enemy or threat?
Because of skill issue 🗿🗿
He says many times afterwards that he's actually a terrible judge of character since all his friends betray him and end up beinh shitty people.
