This fight killed me. Because of all the Yakuza villains we've faced this far, Ryuji is the only one who gained my complete and utter respect. Man just wanted to settle the score and died smiling in the arms of his dearest sister telling her that she was every bit amazing as their mom was. "It has to be this way"....For once...I wish it wasn't. I'm sorry Ryuji...
I agree. It definitely shouldn’t have been this way. Though there’s another main antagonist in my eyes who earned my respect, Yoshitaka Mine. While other major ones like Someya and Kuze also earned my respect, there’s 3 villains I sit down and see Kiryu asking himself “if I could go back, could things be different?”. In a better world, Nishikiyama would have stayed loyal to his ideals and reached the top with Kiryu, Ryuji would have had a comrade in Kiryu and would have been led down a better path, and Mine would have found his empathy and stayed by Daigo’s side until his death. But if any could be brought back, I’d rather Ryuji.
A scattered moment. The Japanese word they use for "scatter" is "chiru". Chiru has 2 meanings. The primary is for scattering, the action to describe petals falling in the wind from a sakura tree. The other is used idiomatically - to die an honorable death, blaze of glory style. That's why this theme was used. That's why starts off as artsy rather than loud and boisterous/epic. It is Ryuji's brief moment to have his blaze of glory by going out fighting. When it gets loud and boisterous (i.e. when the emotions start pouring out), it is brief and fleeting. A moment in time, if you will.
A very cool detail about this fight that I love is that Kiryu and Ryuji were shot in different areas of their torsos, yet the bullet wounds perfectly mirrored each other, meaning that Ryuji's wounds were fatal however Kiryu's weren't, showing that the path he had gone down, though mirroring Kiryu's, would ultimately lead to his demise.
I fought the first part using a sword to make it a sword duel, I was barehanded during this fight to make it even. Ryuji and Kiryu are both Dragons, so it's only fitting that they both fought similarly (Sword v Sword, Hand-to-hand)
@@ju2tunknown I can respect that but in my fights against him with a sword I use hand to hand to disrespect but once the honor and respect in on the table it's only hand to hand
The sky is never big enough for 2 dragons. The Golden Dragon vs The Dragon of Dojima. Freaking sucks that this had to end this way. Ryuji was a great antagonist. And a much more fitting dragon opponent than Shibusawa.
I used daggers in the first phase and won very easily by spamming heat actions. But I felt tremendously dirty and dissatisfied. So to compensate I did the last phase without weapons or healing of any kind. I have to say that it was one of the most tense and epic moments I have ever experienced in a video game. It was the fight that Ryuji had promised me throughout the game.
@@yudi-weiss3827 Considerably, I think they're both sad, but this one hits a lot more on the personal level, while it has to be this way is more of a worldwide kind of conflict feeling.
the first original video of this ost got a copyright strike (i think?) then later taken down, considering it was the only available *full, clean soundtrack+intro* upload compared to the others, but is later wiped out from the search results, i was currently confused at finding that video luckily this other reupload is still standing and didn't got removed yet thanks man you helped us a lot the fuck am i typing ignore this babbling i didn't focus at making this comment more understandable fook off
@Garland846I don’t wanna say the name of the LJ antagonist just in case someone hasn’t played it yet (peak video game btw), but the antagonist was amazing and honestly I don’t think I disagree with his ideals. Oh and Someya is a peak character, DESTINY really made that one fight even sadder
@@spazterr6003 sry to say I didn't cry fighting LJ antagonist. but his beliefs def made it way harder for me to fight him. bc I actually wanted him to win 😅 (sry yagami)

THIS THEME LIKE YOU FIGHTING AN OLD FRIEND
Agree
The last thing you want to play before a goodbye... Flashbacks will fly through.
Weren't Ryuji and Kiryu childhood friends
@@hhhhhh-zz2fw no
@@hhhhhh-zz2fwKiryu didn't even know Ryuji existed until he got to Sotenbori for the first time
I swear i cried more in this game than in yakuza kiwami 1 and yakuza 0
This was just one of those fights that using weapons was just wrong this was a 1v1 hand to hand

Well there was a merchant selling these OP daggers and my inventory is full of heat boosting drinks... so sorry Ryuji, you never had a chance
Coward lol
28 stab wounds!
Imagine not using just your fists without healing against Ryuji
It's a joke. Please play the game the way you want to play
@@jaygei_2641I personally used the demon katana for first phase to make it a swordfight and then switched to hands on the second phase

My man. And depending on how you actually do the four Kings it makes sense that this would be his theme if you save him for last.
i don't want to say something bad about him, he is my idol after all
But find funny his death basically brings you to this ost
What is the name of the OST?

Are you fucking serious?

Wrong, I cried while fighting Nishiki in Y1
If Kiryu survived his gunshot wounds why wouldn't Ryuji? 🤔
Ryuji was shot in the heart area. He's a man of strong will & determination to go all out while on the verge of death
He wasn't THE dragon afterall
cuz plot armor
Because it was Kiryu who won the fight. (Shot Damage + Battle Damage = Died)
I ask myself this every night for the past year.
You got the look down. But nothing else.
Silent night.............holy night...............
It’s sad the fight is so easy and short you can’t hear it all
