Honestly after I played Kiwami 2 I took a long break from the series. Both because I like to imagine an ending where Kiryu, Haruka, and Kaoru live happily together with no new game shenanigans, and because I knew 3 was going to be way more rough to play compared to the Kiwami/0 games.
Regarding the meaning of the Obatarian's nickname: it's a pun/combination of "obaasan" (meaning grandmother) and "battalion", like the tank battalion they compared her to, pronounced with a Japanese accent. Oba+tarion.
2:06:45 Osaka Castle is a real location, too. It's is _so_ extra that it just comes ungrounded entirely. Every time they do something similar in later games they back off on the ridiculousness, but that often makes them feel _less_ realistic because when it's something that feels like it could plausibly actually be built you then have to work through just how expensive and impractical it would be, whereas the secret golden Osaka Castle is immune.
I'll give Daigo credit, he's a better chairman than his old man would have been, on the other hand, a Golden retriever with no thoughts would have made a better chairman than his old man, so that's not much of an accomplishment
HEY we are getting a mid month dump. Cheers lads, hope you're all doing well. edit- holy shit that opening was a hell of a wakeup call. Glad I'm always using headphones.
What a fantastic episode. It's really jolly to see a how everyone by in large enjoyed the games story. Also everyone was firing on all cylinders with the bits and predictions
Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!! I love these so much guys. These Yakuza ones specifically have been a ton of fun. Thanks for making them! Edit: Your outros are amazing lol
It's kinda crazy how my fondness for you guys makes me push through stuff like "Baby noises" at the beginning of a Video. Gotta say tho love all of this, so thanks I guess? Also love the Taylor Kitsch reference.
This video’s been out for two weeks with over 4K views, and UA-cam is telling me it only has 51 comments and 195 likes? That doesn’t sound right. Great video as always, guys. Can’t wait for the next one. Hope everything’s going well with the baby Monty. My wife and I just had our first 11 months ago.
Ryuji Goda does return in Yakuza Dead Souls the non canon zombie spin off. Ryuji has a sick mech arm. Also watch out for the Secret Koreans in the comment section!
i'm gonna be real with you all, i totally lost the plot halfway through yakuza 1 and i'm just here for the utter chaos at this point. is this how people felt while watching the kingdom hearts episodes???
This gets better in the later games, there's generally a whole chapter, usually about 30 minutes or more, that just explains the plot in very simple terms. It took a page out of kojima's book
Monty, something that didn't get brought up was the fact that the Kiwami 2 remake completely removed a location that was present in the original release.
I have to imagine that Chase's notebook is a note of every time one of the others have guessed something right against how many times they got it wrong. Also every character as ducks.
Playing these games in release order is such a different experience than playing in chronological order, that there's some things that you can miss playing the ladder. I will never forget the sense of finality and melancholy playing the last couple hours of Kiwami 2 after Yakuza 6.
Her accent get thicker and thicker and thicker everytime its her turn. She really does more like she fit in read dead redemption 2 than in any modern southern state.
Chase, bless your heart, but surely putting the video game voice actor side quest in the middle of painstakingly going through each step of a scavenger hunt main story filler arc is not the best way to keep the momentum going 😂 the side quests are very fun and necessary to balance the tone of these wild games, but ya gotta put your director's cap on and ask yourself if putting a speed bump after a traffic jam is gonna slow the pacing down to a halt, mate 😂 I love y'all dearly but I'm worried that Moonty is going to heat action you with a baby stroller at the end of this bit.
Vegeta had literally always beaten goku lol gohan had to beat him on earth and the only other real fight they had in Z was while he was Majin. Beat him then too. You can make the argument that goku had ssj3 in his back pocket but a dub is a dub is a dub
I take offense at being called a rabid fanbase, my tetanus shots are up to date. But seriously this series is a crime based Soap Opera, and like all soaps, the fans are addicted to it no matter the quality. Sure the storyline may be bad and make no sense LOOKING AT YOU SECRET OF ONOMICHI, but it is always fun.

Oh Monty. Zero started with and I quote. "VIRGIN! VIRGIN! I feel like I'm back in school". And it was great.

1:39:40 joke is of course, like many voice actors, Kiryu's voice actor has done a lot of BL drama CD's. :'D
Daigo 'til we die-go!
I love these lore dumps for the rollercoaster ride Monty and Neil go on
I’m about to get on an airplane and cannot express how good your timing is. Thank you for helping me decide what to listen to!
Daigo! Daigo! Daigo!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 😂😂😂
I technically also feel mixed about him, but I‘m so easily persuaded by chants 😅😂
DAIGO DAIGO DAIGO WE WILL NEVER REGRET THIS
Honestly Daigo's character development is the only reason why I'm interested in Yakuza 2's plot at all :'D
I'll give Daigo credit, he's a better chairman than his old man would have been, on the other hand, a Golden retriever with no thoughts would have made a better chairman than his old man, so that's not much of an accomplishment
The two discord pings at 1:43:48 are paid actors

I need Chase's country accent in every lore dump lmaooo
New Lore Dump let's gooooo! Also, can't wait for the Alan Wake 2 episode.

Ngl I’m sad that the Cabaret mini game story was cut
Yeah, it’s arguably one of the important side stories in the game
@@Cs-cp6vo only in 0 and kawami 2 not in any other yakuza game.

This video was terada's script that was actually takashima's vision the whole time.
Ah Sh*t, just what I needed right meow, MOAR lore dump!
i'm gonna be real with you all, i totally lost the plot halfway through yakuza 1 and i'm just here for the utter chaos at this point. is this how people felt while watching the kingdom hearts episodes???
Lol as someone that has played the Yakuza games, but has never played any Kingdom Hearts: Yes. 100% this is how we felt😂
This gets better in the later games, there's generally a whole chapter, usually about 30 minutes or more, that just explains the plot in very simple terms. It took a page out of kojima's book
I got the ff7 reference for zach squats monty at least one other person understood lol
Monty, something that didn't get brought up was the fact that the Kiwami 2 remake completely removed a location that was present in the original release.
WoooHoooooo! Just in time for my work shift. You just made my day
Oh my god my brains hurts (also in your other yakuza videos did you say something about majima being a pirate?)
Making my request for either persona franchise or dragon age franchise be added to the lore dumps options
Oh I am %1000 on board for Persona. Dragon Age would be great too.
I have to imagine that Chase's notebook is a note of every time one of the others have guessed something right against how many times they got it wrong.

Honestly I thought Monty would hate the last minute terada twist. Happy to see that he liked the game overall.
This was so fun, Yakuza 3 is definitely the black sheep of the franchise, but I really enjoy the story a lot
Man there are so many names.
Thank the M,O,M it didn't take 10 days for UA-cam to show me this
But think about how many fans you might lose not opening with that classic Lore Dump personality.
2:05:00 I have been waiting for this moment since we talked about doing Yakuzies😂
Wait if its just majima then we're not doing 3 next. I really need to play that spin off.
I swear we better get the Ono Michio substories from 6. Especially the one with the girl.
I somehow completely missed the toilet minigame. This is the first ive seen it.
Her accent get thicker and thicker and thicker everytime its her turn.
She really does more like she fit in read dead redemption 2 than in any modern southern state.
Mid September release. I'm sorry, WHAT!?
I can't handle the southern accent, my Georgia is coming out
Out of context quote : "it's not the length I just don't like this man "
Love these lore dumps going absolutely crazy, but some other games in-between would be great

Does Neil use He/him or they/them pronouns? I just realized anytime y'all mention them I don't think you say "him" so just curious
Neil uses he/him pronouns! It's only me who uses they/them :)
@@LoreDumpChase oh I didn't know that about you either Chase, thanks for letting me know, I apologize for misgendering you in previous comments
