*_Kuso, Ichiban. This cancer is Like a Dragon. I couldn’t cure it, even if I had Infinite Wealth… but I trust you. I Believe in You.

“Man, I wonder how I got cancer.” Ichiban pulls up a Microsoft PowerPoint showing all of the times he’s smoked and drinked, downed fast food like nikocado off steroids, and the amount of staminans and tauriners he’s downed “Oh well I guess that makes sense”
Im calling it. Kiryu will be on his death bed and need to go out and fight. We switch to his perspective and he has a metaphysical fight against a figure that looks like him. Its the embodiment of his csncer. You fight the cancer and beat it and Kiryu will be cured.
For a random reason I see the cancer having phases based on the final bosses that Kiryu himself fought in his past Phase 1: Shibusawa Phase 2: Nishikiyama Phase 3: Ryuji Phase 4: Mine Phase 5: Daigo Phase 6: Aizawa And Phase 7: Iwami They would have their final boss themes Nishikyama would have his ps2 version only
I like how they're making a big deal out of this, and at the end of the game Kiryu's gonna be like: "Hey guys, i beat cancer. Now, what's the next bullshit Tojo Clan's gonna throw at me?"
Honestly, with his constant drinking and smoking, it could be a variety of things. His esophagus, stomach, lungs, or even something like his liver could all be attributing to the bloody coughing, depending on what it is. It could be scarring on his esophageal tissue, deterioration of the stomach lining, bronchial decay, or even something like bloody bile from the liver. With Kiryu’s image of regularly drinking and smoking for the last 30 odd years, the odds of the smoke and alcohol causing cancer just about anywhere is plausible.
Ngl when I was watching the trailer before the English sub I was already going through that scene in Japanese going “jeez I wonder how they’ll balance Kiryu’s gameplay since Ichiban isn’t as strong as him.” And then his reveal comes and I immediately assumed he has cancer after the coughing and radiation scene.
And yet it will be just as emotional. I cried like a little bitch at the end of mgs4 man. There's gonna be a lot of scenes where Kiryu is suffering and that's gonna really get me lmao.
speaking of MGS, my stupid guess is that the playable "Kiryu" with cancer in 8 is actually Mirror Face acting as Kiryu. The real john yakuza is living at Morning Glory in Okinawa with Haruka, Yuta, Haruto and the orphans. A mirror (no pun intended) of Venom Snake's situation lol With the amount of stupid ass pulls in the story over the years ("rubber bullets", Joji Kazama, Joon-gi Han and Kashiwagi's return lol) I would not be surprised if RGG pulls something like this.
It’s not just him: everyone around him was smoking constantly, too, indoors and outdoors, and blowing smoke in each other’s faces. Even if he didn’t smoke, he’d have been wrecked by the secondhand exposure.
I think realistically that his immune system was just so strong, it could keep what cancer cells he DID have from rapidly multiplying or spreading...then being exposed to the nuclear waste made him immunocompromised then bam, cancer spreads
im honestly expecting a zack style death for kiryu where in the final fight your health is constantly dropping and the game basically forces us to let kiryu go as he inevitably dies from his wounds fighting hundreds of guys and the cancer sapping at him at the same time
Imagine he's just like "I thought I had... Testicular cancer. My... Doctor said I had two massive tumors down there, but... Once I told him I was the Dragon of Dojima, he said everything clicked. I've just been so manly my entire life that after some extensive testing, I just had massive balls. So everything's fine, no cancer. 😎👍" *Roll Credits*
The best part of Yakuza 8 is that they confirmed Judgement Shinpan is returning. We getting a Kiryu/Ichiban duet, boys! One last time before the Dragon ascends.
I don't see why he wouldn't. If he'll die it will be very late game. And the premium adventure will be at earlier chapter before his death (Yakuza 3 did this for example. As Rikiya dies late game, but he has unique substories)
Regular cancer from smoking/drinking wouldn't be enough to kill Kiryu. It had to be SUPER CANCER from working with radioactive materials so the cancer would have a fighting chance. I feel horrible about this post.
The nuclear waste thing was such a cop out. But since the games features real cigarette brands, having Kiryu claim smoking gave him cancer couldve gotten Sega in hot water. The tobacco industry is notoriously vicious at defending themselves from bad publicity.
I mean him going into hiding seems like a huge hint not only because it makes sense for his character to not put this pressure on his loved ones but also didn't the Omi Chairman go into hiding too when he got cancer? The power of retrospect. I don't think they had cancer as a plot point until these two upcoming games but I guess it really ties everything after 5 together really well
I’m gonna be honest, a part of me is gonna be really angry if I see Kiryu smoking in Yakuza 8. He knows he has cancer, and he’s not doing anything to at least slow it down.
it would be classic smoker behavior though. my aunt had horrible emphysema and we couldn't get her to stop until she had to have an oxygen tube at all times and she couldn't go out on her own to buy them anymore
You don't know smokers then. You could tell them that the individual cigarette in their hand is laced with cyanide and will give them the most painful death on the planet but they will still try to smoke it, their addiction is extremely strong.
He could've said cancer without any further elaboration and I doubt anybody would bat an eye. The radioactive thing is so unnecessary. I guess it kinda accounts for the villains' actions but still, unnecessary.
Image if they actually had the balls to kill him off with cancer. I very much doubt it, but I can just imagine how completely depressed majjima would get. "You let shit like cancer kill you kiryu-chan?!?!? If anything should have killed you it should have been me!!!!!!!"
well despite the absurdity of the games, it has been very much grounded to reality - so unless they put him through Chemo or some manner of treatment, i doubt they would keep him alive for very long because even they must realise that the man just needs some peace
I thought the compilation of him smoking was going to end with him saying it's from the radioactive waste and be like ?????? Lol but I guess this was made before the game came out
I was gonna say this, how could he attribute his cancer to his 2 minute exposure to low-risk radioactive waste when man's been smoking 5 packs a day for his whole life
I took it as him deflecting the blame as a way of dealing with the situation at an emotional level, after all right before he tells them that he has cancer, he mentions something about how life is like painting with a brush and how to have to commit to what you do with it since there's no going back in your actions or something like that
it took 8 games until he finally got a serious sickness. Most people would get cancer MUCH sooner considering how much the players eat and drink as Kiryu.
Guys dont worry it was a mix up. The doc thought it was cancer in the x rays but thats just how his bones and organs look after all the blunt trauma and punctures.
![PC Master Race Explained in 9 minutes [Animated]](/img/n.gif)
Kiryu eating through 50 tons of fast food and 80 gallons of alcohol for a completion list every game really hasn’t helped him either.
The only thing kiryu's ever done in the bathroom is beat the s*** out of other men.
And essence of smoking hasn’t helped neither, but worth it for that heat.
