@@CianaCorto Majima was always supposed to be respectable though, he came into the story a protagonist and left it as a different sort of respectable protagonist. Kuze came into the plot seeming like the main villain of the story, but it's revealed he's just a cog in a much larger conspiracy who you kick down over and over again. He's a bad lieutenant, but he's respectable because of his willpower and refusal to give up, even when he knows he's almost certainly going to lose. I think the line that made me fully appreciate this is his line before his fourth fight, something like "You remind me of why I joined the yakuza...to beat on guys who were tougher than me."
@@CianaCorto he actually was just complying Patriarch Dojima's orders since the beginning, and was the one that was putting more effort into it, which eventually made his thing with Kiryu a personal thing. Awano was but a straight up disaster. And I think we can agree into that Shibusawa was the best of the three of them
The tattoo in kuze's back is Enma the judge he decides whether people go to heaven or to hell...same thing for kuze he decides whether kiryu can leave the Yakuza world or not
You really should play Yakuza 0. Well, everyone should! You've got really fun combat with lots of violence and ass kicking, a thrilling and serious plot, amazing voice acting...but also karaoke, dancing, real estate, silly side quests that are actually fun, and much more
Vincent Sellers Yeah kind of like when you are a veteran driver it’s all muscle memory and you really don’t think about it. That is what you call improvisation. Very skilled musicians can play by feel and rhythm.
I’ve heard drums are quite easy to improvise and still sound good. Part of your job is to be the tempo so if you do that you’re ok. Though it’s probably hard to make it sound amazing.
@@amokana With drums it’s like making a beat on the table during one of your friends free style, it’s all about rhythm. Most drummers can pick up on rhythm quick asf, few other instruments can do that.
OH MY GOD THIS WAS MY REQUEST I'M SO HAPPY Sorry about it being 8 minutes, though. Kinda realized after the fact that that might not have been the best idea lmao
I don't know what's more awesome about this; The fact that you are so clearly into/hyped for this song, or the fact that you're able to drum perfectly to it ON THE SPOT, JUST BY LISTENING TO IT. LIKE, EVEN WHEN THE PACE CHANGES UP. You're an absolute beast, dude. Holy shit.
His reactions to the track are the same as mine when I first played. Lmao they're talking about Kiryu blocking the pipe with his arms in the chat like he's phased by it
SEGA man they know how to make it with the soundtrack for games. the selling for this game went of the charts. This game series has done something no other series has done before, character development of Kiryu, Majima etc. into an entire timeline.
People kept saying "It looks like blocking a metal pipe with your arms is super painful" well what was he supposed to do? Catch it with his forehead? His teeth? With his open hands where it might break his fingers? Or maybe he should have rolled away and just let the guy keep swinging it at him.
@@elimanic7925 I was speaking in terms of the best means of approach, but you are right. Although, I think the complaints were unnessecary, Yazuka characters are comically superhuman so I'm not mad that Kiryu blocked the way he did.
The Yakuza games have great music. If you like Tekken style music you'll love Yakuza's. I hope you play some tracks from Yakuza Kiwami as well as more tracks from Yakuza 0; like Kiryu's Dragon style theme (forgot the name off the top of my head)
Man, I swear, every time I'm feeling down, all I gotta do is look for another video of Jerod reacting to songs and the characters/games accompanying them. He's just consistently a force of pure enthusiasm that I can't help but feel energized by.
@@arturtle6300 That's what everyone says, but we all know the truth XD But on second glance ... nah, the guns he used killed people, not himself, right.
Kuze takes being a Yakuza more seriously than anyone else in the game. You gotta respect it. Also, your love of music shines, you just got a sub homie!
PSA: play literally every single yakuza game, they are fucking fantastic. Then you get to have the title of “Yakuza enjoyer” and not just a “dame da ne redittard”. Seriously, the games are fucking awesome.
The game is phenomenal. The first 1 or two chapters start off slow, but once you get to chapter 3 or 4 it gets REALLY interesting, and it only keeps on escalating after that until the fantastic ending.
Kuze's theme is one of the best in the series. Actually both his themes are but Pledge of Demon personifies him so well. It's the audio example of an unstoppable force. No matter how many times it seems like its going to end, it somehow amps up even harder. It just keeps on pushing itself forward. The fact the MUSIC is this good should give an example of how goated the entire series is.
You know shit’s boutta get real when this theme plays, and that shit got this guy really real, like, realer than.. than reality.. real.. fucking real..
Welp possible spoilers but. At the start of the game, we can see this happenin. Its been on my mind, But Dayum Kuze-Aniki calm down with those Hard R's! Well if you know how Kuze talks you'll know what i mean ; )
Kuzes' theme gives me serious dynasty warriors vibes specifically when shit wasn't going well for your side and you have to fight out of a bad situation. Good work by the way pretty killer drumming.
ways I have described Daisaku Kuze in the past: cool; intimidating; absolutely badass. ways I never would've imagined anyone would describe Daisaku Kuze: *_U L T R A S L U T T Y_*
I loved this fight with Kuze. The "arena", the combat, that fucking soundtrack?? Incredible. And what's better, I used Beast Style the whole fight. Every single time he'd go for a swing, I'd just tank damage and keep going. Fastest fight of the game I've had up to that point. I fucking love this game. It rivals Metal Gear as my all-time favorite game series ever.
Damn you thought this was piping hot to the touch awesome? Half the OST of Yakuza is just made for when you are about to have the sweatiest day at the gym
chat has clearly never played a yakuza game because kiryu blocking that pipe is light work like a minute earlier kiryu blocked that same pipe while kuze was going at atleast 60 mph and this only the surface about how inhuman yakuza characters are
I dont know shit about playing music, but omg this was fucking perfect. If i had a billion you'd be playing for me for ever. + Kuze is the best yakuza character ever. Ever.
Before fight 1: I hate this dude
After fight 279: I will never respect another human being as much as I do this man.
Same
Majima is more respectable. Kuze is only redeemed at the end. He's still a pretty bad lieutenant
@@CianaCorto Majima was always supposed to be respectable though, he came into the story a protagonist and left it as a different sort of respectable protagonist.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN?!
GOD DAMN IT
U BEAT ME TO IT
Atleast three more times past this boss battle.
@@krullachief669 lmao I was gonna say that then we can get the theme from the Shibusawa fight.
5 F*CKING TIMES!
"As long as I'm alive, I'll keep getting back up for more."
The tattoo in kuze's back is Enma the judge he decides whether people go to heaven or to hell...same thing for kuze he decides whether kiryu can leave the Yakuza world or not
Which is why in the sewer, he stands in front of the light. Kiryu needs to push through to get through heaven
Sick, I didn’t even realize that while playing. I love symbolic parallels like that.
Also the pinky finger on the tatoo is hidden which is a neat little extra
@Sentient being when's the wedding?
I would also like to note that he also judges when kiryu has finally become a fully fledged yakuza.
When i played this game my ps4 started sweating and spitting out testosterone
Essence of kali sticks activated!
it also tore off its coat
@@borisbonillo828
It made me tear off my skin
@@ProtoIndoEuropean88 me too. Turns out i had yakuza tattoos underneath
That’s rad!
I love how he’s slowly overcome by awe as he realizes just how freaking awesome this song is XD
Weren't we all??? 😍 I love this song.
It's honestly my favorite thing about this channel, just getting his reactions
You really should play Yakuza 0. Well, everyone should! You've got really fun combat with lots of violence and ass kicking, a thrilling and serious plot, amazing voice acting...but also karaoke, dancing, real estate, silly side quests that are actually fun, and much more
I finished playing it just a couple months ago.
@Homeless Please, it only took 6 hours of gacha
I got like 75% of the game before dropping out. I PLAYED 112 HOURS, I GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH, LET ME GO
Not to forget the great OST 0 got
Play it now since Yakuza's awesome combat is dead from now on
A Yakuza drum cover? That’s rad!
HOLY SHIT
Well now we need a fighting style based on beating on people's heads like drums-
HIRAMEITA
KIRAMEITA-DE
IKUDE
So wait, has he never heard this and is playing by ear?!
Vincent Sellers Yeah kind of like when you are a veteran driver it’s all muscle memory and you really don’t think about it. That is what you call improvisation. Very skilled musicians can play by feel and rhythm.
It's ALMOST like he's not even playing.

マジかよ、すげえ、、、😲
Welcome to the channel.
He looks like a boss.
Well, that's definitely accurate. He is a boss.
He's gotta be the definition of guts, or stubbornness. Cause you fight him like 4 times as a boss XD
@@LuckiSir make that 5
He even has 2 theme songs

@@colemacgrath8846 Yes.
*Imagine being this skilled at something that you can just effortlessly do it while joking and laughing around and multi-tasking

OH MY GOD THIS WAS MY REQUEST I'M SO HAPPY
Sorry about it being 8 minutes, though. Kinda realized after the fact that that might not have been the best idea lmao
I don't think he minded though! 3:49 That's totally the UNFILTERED, raw joy of being a drummer LMAO
I got 8 minutes of this dude going ham on the theme song of one of video game’s greatest villains of all time. Don’t you DARE be sorry.
Bless your soul, we wouldn't be enjoying his cover of Kuze's badass theme if it wasn't for you
This man has mastered the Essence of Drumming!
Holy shit!
That's Rad!!
@@andrespino7710 HOLY RAD
This man's Drummer Style makes me want to go Breaker Style.
nantekotta!
Kiryu must have the worlds strongest arms to withstand that blow from the pipe
Well, when you can't walk two blocks without getting into fist fights, having forearms stronger than steel is kind of a requirement.
Twice.
Once while he was on a speeding motorcycle.
It's sold like a broken arm later, so... he didn't REALLY get away with it. He's still fucking badass for fighting him with his two fists though.
Kiryu is a Shonen Protagonist.
He's basically a JoJo
Nice detail that the pipe bent where it hit Kiryuu's arms.
You’ve got to play Yakuza 0, such badass characters, gameplay and the story is emotional as heck.
By far one of the most underrated games I have ever played. The story blew me away.
and then, 5 minutes after crying like a little baby, you'll go sing karaoke, and watch softcore porn
@@brunogamesbr1 this. So much this
Its not forcing, its a recommendation, and its not random people, he literally said he enjoyed the song
And then you can go into a karaoke and sing "すなおに LOVE YOU!" at the top of your lungs.
Now do 24 hour cinderella
Or Disco Queen or what it was called
Late, but well... I figured it could be nice watch?v=26AkJyfDYEk
You got your wish
Dont forget about judgement as well
So you guys have an easier time finding the song, its called Pledge of The Demon
The best part of this vid is that the guy is HAVING FUN. He loves every moment, you can see he loves it, and that is what makes it great.

I hope you do more Yakuza covers, some great songs in the soundtracks!
Baka Mitai!
@@Kannamoris
Dame dane!
kevinno two dragons is great. I also like Reign.
Hoping someone request the Yakuza 0 soundtrack "Trouble Shooting Star". It will be a blood pumping, testosterone filled drumming session
"One eye dancer"
Or "Town Bully" from Yakuza 6
Interplanetary Spark
I don't know what's more awesome about this; The fact that you are so clearly into/hyped for this song, or the fact that you're able to drum perfectly to it ON THE SPOT, JUST BY LISTENING TO IT. LIKE, EVEN WHEN THE PACE CHANGES UP.

The Kuze Everywhere experience
SEGA man they know how to make it with the soundtrack for games. the selling for this game went of the charts. This game series has done something no other series has done before, character development of Kiryu, Majima etc. into an entire timeline.
"Fear the old man in a profession where you die young"
People kept saying "It looks like blocking a metal pipe with your arms is super painful" well what was he supposed to do? Catch it with his forehead? His teeth? With his open hands where it might break his fingers? Or maybe he should have rolled away and just let the guy keep swinging it at him.
Tbh, he should've blocked WAY higher up but Yakuza is in NO WAY realistic.
@@blazinkid5178 He did have a banged up arm from taking a pipe to the arm from Kuze on a motorcycle. He likely had trouble raising them that high.
@@elimanic7925 I was speaking in terms of the best means of approach, but you are right.
Although, I think the complaints were unnessecary, Yazuka characters are comically superhuman so I'm not mad that Kiryu blocked the way he did.
To be fair majima has a heat move where he stops a sword with his bare teeth.
Boi Kiryu Withstanded Way too Much Blows from the head and still be standing
Yakuza is a super dope series. Not having an english version should not hinder you from playing this fantastic series.
It does have an English version
@@randomstuffprod. only the original yakuza and like a dragon have an english dub

Just remember: Kuze never dies
Only because Kiryu never killed anyone
He the embodiment of
"HOW MANNY TIME WE NEED TO TEACH U OLD MAN"
He doesn't die...he just loses fingers when he's stupid.

Essence of Improvised Drumming
(3rd Heat Bar)
Improvise on the fly and drum to a kickass song.
UA-cam recommended me this one.
And, hot damn...
Really want to see more drum covers of Yakuza soundtrack.
(And yes, they are awesome)
Yakuza 0 is one of my favourite games. A perfect blend of action, drama and comedy.
My Heat meter is rising to the drums! Sick Cover insta sub!
Kuze takes being a Yakuza more seriously than anyone else in the game. You gotta respect it.
Also, your love of music shines, you just got a sub homie!
Kuze was my top 5 "oh , shit, I have to fight him," bosses. The song just added so much weight on to it.
There's nothing better than watching a very talented musician get excited while playing. :)
YES! YES YOU DO NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME! Sorry, I love this game so much. Trust me when I say you’ve gotta play it though
OH HELL YEAH!!! I wanted to request this one for a long while but I never did, I'm glad someone did because them theme song are AWESOME AS HELL.
Remember, the one who gets beat down isn't the one who loses. It's the one that can't tough it out in the end.
i love how chat assumes kiryus arms would hurt after blocking a pipe
OH MAN, I WISH I HAD BEEN THERE FOR THIS STREAM. THIS SONG IS THE BEST FRICKIN' SONG IN THE GAME.

Dude, 3:40 is GOOSEBUMPS CITY! You have earned a new subscriber, and a fan, man!
The fact he did all by ear in the same moment make it awesome.

Sounds kind of like Eve yeah
Bro you are unreal with this stuff. Keep it up
Honestly some of the best music in the entire Yakuza series!!!
You know, that Kuze everywhere system was pretty good
You don't need to play Yakuza 0.... we need you to play through the OST though.
Through the weirdness and the epic.
How is it, that you made one of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite games, even BETTER? always enjoy your content, dude!
