Know what would be really funny? If there was a Yakuza spinoff where you played as Jo Amon, and after completing everything to face off against Kiryu, you wind up fighting Jo as Kiryu instead just so he'll never win.
That cigarette heat attack almost made me spit up my drink. Out of a series brimming with style this entry really seems to up the ante in some really amusing ways.
@@deathbykonami5487 Ahh, we meet again. That's just what I heard them being called. I figured they were all Yakuza based though. All had the tattoo of their respective Spirit Animal, so to speak
Mike Henny not really. As far as I know, Tanimura and Akiyama never remove their shirts during battle, which they most likely don’t have them. Even if they do, their outfit already symbolizes their Celestial animals already. Akiyama’s maroon suit represents the Zhu Que fiery and Tanimura’s blue coat acts a shell, similar to GUI Xiang.
There is something really cool about how these fights are set up, each of the main characters take their turns to defeat each amon and it totally get you hyped to that final battle with Amon. It may be a little easier than in previous games but they can still blow your hp in a second if you get cocky
first time i was flying on them until amon revived and then i had him at close to dying, boom, satelite shots stright up of a 2D fighting game killed me in an instant...
Kiryu spitting a cigarette in Jo's face caught me off guard and I cackled out loud. I hope they bring that heat action back, although it seems more like a Majima antic, to me.
Akiyama can literally power cities for months using his energy for every fight Saejima looks like he can kill any person barehand Takimura is a cocky boi but still always wins And Kiryu looks so serious he looks like he can kill people just by looking at them
While certainly the Amon Clan are no pushovers, yet they always lose, because of pride, lust for power and overconfidence. The Amon Clan are lethal, skilled, competent and powerful warriors(to the point of being outright superhumans), but their egos hamper them from achieving their potentials.
Noa is probably the smartest amon in that respect mainly because she listen's to what haruka says and not only does she accept what she's saying but she understands the amon way is flawed
@@ElissaMai Tell that to the 3rd protagonist (I can't remember his name) who got shot like 20 times and lost little slivers. It was just a lot of damage I wasn't expecting seeing as Saejima is huge, acting as the tank
"Damn you got a cop with you?" "Yeah he's new." "Sooooo.. Why are we doing one on one fights?" "Plot" "Yeah that's about right" "Anybody got anything interesting to talk about" "There's a bird over there" "Oh cool" "You guys aren't that bad. It's kinda lame that we have to kill you all" "I mean if we win you can't kill us" "Oh yeah you're right. We're gonna try anyways though" "Well good luck in your fight" "Same to you"
I've always loved the progression of Amon in the games and by the Yakuza 5 when Kiryu alters the way he fights slightly you face Amon fighting like Kiryu did from Yakuza 1-4 and it made sense since he was using the IF7 to train against Kiryu
Who said what? What I was saying is that in Yakuza 3 when it's discovered that Amon used the IF7 to train against his experiences of Kiryu that by Yakuza 5 when Kiryu altered the way he threw his attacks, look closely you'll see that Kiryu's Rush Combo blows are quite subtly different from 1-4's which Amon decided to try fight like Kiryu but he could only fight like Kiryu from previous titles
I beat these guys and now I feel like a chump because you used so many moves I didn't even know Saejima/Kiryu had even though I maxed out all their techniques. This was awesome.
I can’t believe you played this game enough to complete every single sub story, but didn’t get the locker key in new serena that you can see in the cutscene
This fight looked a whole lot different on the PC remastered collection. Jiro in particular pops his healing thing so quickly and so frequently that it pops between each individual punch in Saejima's rush combo. Idk if that's a PC thing in general or a 144fps thing, but I couldn't figure out how the game developers thought that made for a good boss fight. Seeing how that fight is supposed to look here makes it all make a lot more sense.
Jiro ticked me off so much with his damn healing in this fight that eventually I just cheesed it like hell and brought some guns to the fight to pop him with. Saejima's got a gun buying achievement anyway, so it all worked out.
@@Zeddddy I holded back on Amon in Kiwami because I had the War God Talisman and the Time for Yinglong move. I literally could've trapped him in an infinite sumo slap until he died.
Guys for Jiro Amon use that armor that gives you invulnerability to a hit every now and then, the one you get completing all the subquests. He'll hit and do no damage, meanwhile you're there punching his ass!
Just got done with this encounter in the PC version. You'd think combat would be easier at 60 FPS, but the doubled frame rate somehow messed with the Quickstep. Damn they can really travel with it at 30 FPS!
TFW mentions kiryu mentions he fighted him 3 times only because yakuza 0 wasn´t out already... Or maybe Kiryu forgetting him on Yakuza 1/Kiwami is cannon.
You're great! It was entertaining and yet educational to watch your video, and learn new techniques! And not a scratch on Kiryu while battling Amon! Simply awesome! So the best recommendation would be to enter the fight drunk and best fully raged up?
A four versus one Amon boss fight would be pretty damn difficult but pretty awesome at the same time if they didn't come along to help kiryu with the Amon clan
They were probably still getting used to the new engine, because a lot of people give 6 a lot of flack for a lot of quality of life gameplay elements but absolutely love Kiwami 2
I like how Sango Amon has an SMG with a foregrip and doesn't even use it. It's not even integral, it's on the same underbarrel rail as the flashlight. Or that gun is a really oddly designed Mac 10 knockoff, because the trigger is placed so far back.
Devilleon after defeating the amon clan in Y4 once: That's rad!/Holy s**t! Devilleon after defeating the amon clan in Y4 10 times in a row: THAT'S RAD!/HOLY S**T! Devilleon after teaching others on defeating the amon clan in Y4 10 times in a row: That's-wait, no, I'M RAD!/Holy-wait, no, I'M THE S**T! Why wouldn't he be? 👍👍👍
Akiyamers: "Kiryu, they're four stone-called killers, we don't want you dying out there" Tanimura: "Yeah, besides we are...The YAKUZA 4! With the four of us, we can handle them four!" Saejima: "That's right, we'll show those amons what it means to go BALLS OUT!"
This is totally the easiest Jo Amon fight in the entire series (well, besides the original Yakuza 1, where you could just stunlock him with tasers). Well, if you fully level up Kiryu, that is. The Y3 fight is hell in comparison to this one (well, unless you are great with Tiger Drop). Funnily, they dialed up his difficulty again in all the other games after this one, including both Kiwamis. Heck, in Y5, Jo is basically a Kingdom Hearts character LMAO, and in Y6, he's cheap as shit (I'm still angry to this day). Let's not even get started on Shin Amon in Judgement.
is there a boss in the previous games that uses a sledgehammer? i noticed that kazuya amon uses mine's style from Yakuza 3, and sango uses uh... kazuto's style
Who would win. 4 world class assassins who spent their entire lives mastering the art of combat. or 4 drinking buddies?
I would say a money lander, an escaped prisoner, a gambling detective, and an unbeatable dragon dad.

Why not make kiryu 2x the difficulty of Ex Hard, then if you still beat him he will tiger drop you and it oneshots. So Jo Amon will never win
it'd just be a have to lose fight
genius idea, would pay 70 dollars for this game
I’m sure it’s a tough fight, but it’s bizarre seeing the amons with only two health bars, I’m so used to them having a ridiculous amount of health.
Between four characters, that's a lot. Especially with how much grinding would have to be done, yeah. They might have thrown players a bone, here.
Notice that they also regen health if not attacked for a short while. Saejima fight definitely had an extra bar out of all regen
In yakuza 0 jo and so Amon both have 10 health bars just like riuji goda in yakuza kiwami 2
And then you have Yakuza 6 where Amon only has 1.
@@choueriito2548 yeah but all the bosses only have 1 health bar and said health goes down much slower compared to the other games
That cigarette heat attack almost made me spit up my drink.

That was in Yakuza 3 too :)
My thought process went from “he just lit a cigarette mid battle?” To “holy fucking shit, cigarette-fu”
Tbh, the PS3 games have some of the best heat actions imo
It was removed after smoking in public became illegal in Japan.
@@StreetwizeJJ2 I always wondered why that didn't come back in the rest of the games after 5. Shame too, that was probably my favorite heat action.

Nothing actually explains why a slacker like Akiyama is such a badass fighter.
Aivottaja that’s what I’ve been wondering,I completed 4 and it doesn’t mention why akiyama can fight.
Maybe that guy trained him? The one that saved his life?
Aaron Taofitau maybe he got inspired to be badass from him,maybe he didn’t want to be the one saved who knows
Arai and akiyama have the same fight style so I assume he learned it from him and then kicked off is money lending business
He works hard when he puts his mind to it.

「Loru Apollo」 I mean they certainly aren’t easy but I’m so used to them having a ridiculous amount of hp like in all the other games.
When you think about it
It still kinda is a lot of hp, just split into different phases
