A reminder that all of this is in Ichiban’s head. Except for Majima. Majima 100% did that for real.
Which is in perfect character for Majima
Man had a ton of practice doing it to surprise Kiryu
That's just an usual Monday for Majima.
Majday* @@ThrashRats
I believe that Saejima and Kiryu can definitely do theirs.
7:20 "Who am I looking at?"
That's Onomichi! With his charming hassaku face! Steaming Onomichi ramen hat! Cute fish pouch! Cool boots, vital for any fisherman! And his bold and trendy Ono shirt! That's right! He's the pride of Onomichi! Ono... Michio!
I can hear this comment, well done.
Nice to michi!!
Ono Michio is going to Ono Beatchio the hell out of you!
ONOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the final one, the reason it's all guns is because there's a long running meme that when the villians start winning, the guy (Diago) gets serious and starts shooting. There have been a few games where this played out. The villian is on the cusp of victory, only for Diago to save the day by shooting them.
The Yakuza protagonists don't (canonically) kill anyone or use guns so the writers get someone else to finish off the badguys.
Ah okay. Thanks for clarifying that last one 😊
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Our boy Daigo is known to have a 100% accuracy rate with his glock. Literally every shot he takes in the games he kills, disarms or incapacitates, with compilation videos to prove it. The meme goes that he shoots so fast Ichiban imagines multiple shooters to process the speed!
And don’t let this fool you. Yakuza is a 100% serious game approved by real-life Yakuza.
Yes and it's also endorsed by the police and the government.
That article of yakuza playing it was faked, the author faked a lot of stories about the yakuza to sell stories despite that his book was made into a tv series called Tokyo vice...
@@MegaVideoman23 I mean there definitely have bean Yakuza playing it considering there's so many in all of Japan
Context for Il Yu Jin's "Subzero Sonata": it's a parody of famous Korean drama "Winter Sonata", it was so big in Japan it got anime adaptation and probably the one starting K-drama fever there. Even the theme music is very similar.
Appreciate the context 🙂
Goro Majima canonically does his attack while the other ones are just in Ichiban's head.
There are also new Poundmates summons in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, the sequel to this game. Should check those out too at some point.
😎👍😀
So fun thing for this series naming:
"Like A Dragon" is a rough translation of "Ryū Ga Gotoku", the original name for the Yakuza games over in Japan. They are not called "Yakuza" for obvious reasons.
But this game specifically started as a joke of making an RPG game of the beat them up series... Specially, an RPG game like the "Dragon Quest" series, it went so far to the point that the protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, is just addicted to that game series within the story.
So, Yakuza Like A Dragon is not only pointing to the original name of the series, but it's also a "Yakuza" game, but "Like A Dragon" Quest game.
I just find rambling about this very funny.
Also a big reference to the new main character. Kiryu is the Dragon and Ichiban is coming into his own legend, hence "like a dragon"
Cool facts about the game 😀
Originally this was an April Fools' joke, but fans were shockingly receptive to the idea with the way that Yakuza 6 ended
@@CloudSato I still have my doubts about 7 having turn-based combat because of the April Fools video, because changing the combat drastically in the middle of developement would be impossible and would require delays. So they probably put that video out to see how people would react to the thing they were already doing.
Plague of Pincers the closest revenge that Lobster got for all his mind boiled alive
a yakuza playthrough is needed at this point, this series is golden
It’s got a lot to offer 🤩
The "fire whip guy" is the weapon shop owner. "I can't afford a better weapon, I'll just pay the weapon shop owner to kick your ass."
Nice 😏
14:30 Oh you better get ready for Ms. Tatsu. She’s in Yakuza 0.
But yeah, the Yakuza series is pretty male dominated, a reason for this is most likely due to the Yakuza having a strict dudes only rule
However there are some women who fight alongside the main characters. Mainly in Yakuza Kiwami 2, Yakuza 7 and in Yakuza 8
😎👍🙂
Most of the Poundmates you get are from what they call Substories which are basically side quests that can be serious or bat shit insane. Like theres one in this game where you talk to a guy running a circus and you end up fighting a tiger, a bear and then the last one a monkey gets loose and highjacks an excavator with a front end scoop. Im being serious too 😂
🤣 love it 😍
Don’t forget the substory where you fight against a giant Roomba that steals your wallet.
And the crazy thing is, you fight it again in Infinite Wealth, & this time it can fly!
11:12 I'm gonna just say this dude "Saejima" is definitely right up Ken's alley. He's a complete badass.
Nice 😁
Majima's Demonfire Rain has to be a reference to Speed Highway from Sonic Adventure. IYKYK.
both games were made by Sega so it's possible
I thought it is some allusion to naruto.
It honestly gave me kh 2 vibes
Like a Dragon is something that you guys should experience yourselves. It's crazy fun. Also you can check out Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth which is the sequel to this one. There are women in it.
Yakuza series is a franchise we want to playthrough 😁😀🤩
I think you'll love the "Essence" attacks if you enjoyed this insanity.
😎👍😁
Also fun little fact about Ichiban, the main character, he's voiced in Japanese by the same voice actor who voiced Nishikiyama for 0 and Kiwami
YOU HAVE GIVEN ME HOPE SO I HAVE RETURNED DAY ??? OF ASKING FOR YAKUZA KIWAMI 2 KARAOKE
That's a tamago kake gohan, a quick dish where you mix a raw egg on hot rice, to make it cook a bit.
In Japan and other countries where eating raw eggs is common so the chicken are actually treated and vaccinated to not get salmonella.
these are just the summons, the game itself has quite a number of badass female party members and even NPCs
7:41 I love this series it’s so bonkers in the best ways
Tbh all summons were great.
But I especially liked the crustacean one.
you guys should definitely play the series (from 0 to infinite wealth) or atleast watch all "dynamic intros", trust me you won't regret doing it
We do plan on playing the games as they seem like a ton of fun 😀
When I saw the Hundred Fists of Asura, that gave me an idea for a reaction for you guys. There is a game called Asura's Wrath. Don't know if you've heard of it or not, but all the same, it has a great storyline to it. I definitely recommend you guys check it. Hope you'll consider, and I'll always remember that your reactions are Definitely not Definitive. 😉🙂👍
We’ve heard of it and plan on playing through the game as we saw it was relatively short 🙂
well, this is just awesome and badass. :) also, most if not all of those summons are people and animals you actually meet throughout the game. :) of course, they cost money and different summon does something different. :)
😎🤟🤩
I believe this game is a turn-based thing like Pokémon, Persona, and Final Fantasy. Very different from the action stuff you’ve guys have seen in this series where they beat people into bloody pulps.
Some fans liked it, some didn’t.
Still these summons are pretty cool. Especially the 2nd half where it pretty much was popular Yakuza characters throughout the series.
Although I want to mention 2 particular ones.
The one where the does, what Ken calls at least, “crazy fists” and that symbol he had behind him. Asura is celestial being in Hindu mythology that are considered enemies of the gods. Usually symbolize pride, power, and wrath.
And the chicken one where Ichiban ate the egg on rice. And no Ken, that wasn’t Fried Rice. There’s a traditional Japanese Egg dish called “Tamago Kake Gohan” (literally translates to “Egg on Rice) where you eat raw egg on top of a fresh bowl of hot rice (mostly accompanied with some soy sauce 😋). That may sound iffy to eat for some people, but the idea is that you drop the egg on and rice and mix it around and the heat from the rice will cook the egg enough to eat.
Some people bring up Salmonella when it comes to raw stuff, but Japanese eggs are carefully selected to prevent that sort of thing. Can’t say the same for western eggs though.
IIRC the Turn-based thing started as an April Fools thing after they announced "Like a Dragon" but people responded so positively, they decided "Okay that's it, rework the entire battle system!"
Thanks for all the info 😀
Yakuza is typically a male-dominated series because of the over the top violence, which the director wasn't comfortable being used on women. Kiryu himself refuses to ever strike a women as well.
The reason 7 was brought up was actually due to the fact it was the first game to include playable female characters due to the series transitioning from a beat'em up into an RPG. If there isn't an All Essences video out there, I'll make one myself just so you can see these characters in action. Essence attacks are basically super moves that have animations similar to summons.
Ah, that makes sense with the violence aspect. Though there are plenty of females in fighting games, however that’s different style than this for sure. We will try to find essence attacks 🧐
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Believe me, more Yakuza fans than you might expect agree with you here. Yakuza 7 and 8 have given us female characters who throw hands, take their lumps, and earn their stripes right next to the men. After Sayama in Yakuza 2, we have been kind of starving for badass/awesome female characters as heroes or even villains for years now.
Mentioning fighting games in particular leads to the Yakuza fanbase's biggest gripe: Kazuma Kiryu is one of the most requested/desired fighting game guest characters in recent memory. He is almost up there with "Sora getting into Smash Bros" level of hype. We're talking hundreds of thousands of people screaming in unison about how bad they want Kiryu in Street Fighter or Tekken or anywhere that'll take him. Hell some have even said Mortal Kombat, which is doubly hilarious considering his "no killing" background. That's just how desperate we are to see Kiryu hit the fighting game scene, we'll take anything at this point.
The problem is that, again, Kiryu does not strike women. Because of this, RGG Studio has declared that he physically cannot be in fighting games, possibly ever. That being said, who knows what the future holds with our new protagonist Ichiban and our growing roster of female party members.
Once you play this game I think you will understand what poundmates is but I suggest you play the whole series
Fun fact:Ichiban(The one that keeps summoning the poundmates is voiced by Sub Zero in English :)))) )
Also Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen
I know you guys didn’t bring it up, but the reason why the enemies had red eyes was because the new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga, has a wild as hell imagination which causes him to envision life and battle like it was straight out of Dragon Quest. In the first three chapters of the game even, Ichiban uses his fists and his enemies are either Yakuza or desperate bums, fairly grounded in reality. The beginning of chapter 4, however, has him pick up a baseball bat that, with one of the party members snarking about it, he treats like a holy sword and he is a legendary hero. From there, the enemy literally transforms in his eyes to various monsters called Sujimon, staying human with wild designs. A normal man in a business suit, for example, can gain 100lb in weight and wield a giant sausage on a stick as a club. It’s just Ichiban too, everyone else is confused, but they roll with it cause he still fights hard
Sujimon is also as subtle as a nuke, but they actually justify calling enemies that
So glad you guys reacted to this! Hope you can do Yakuza 7 all kiwami attacks in the future
On our request list 😊
That last one includes characters from previous games.
Sohei Dojima, a main villain in Yakuza 0.
Futoshi Shimano, a major character in 0 and a major villain in 1.
Shintaro Kazama, a main character and ally to the protagonists in 0 and 1.
Osamu Kashiwagi, a major character and ally to the protagonists in 0, 1, 2, and 3. For Spoiler reasons that’s is all I’ll say about him.
And…Daigo Dojima, main character and ally of the protagonists in Yakuza 2, 3, and 5. Main character but not an ally in 4. Significant character with little screen time in 6 and 7. He is also the son of main Yakuza 0 villain Sohei Dojima.
Awesome reaction guys! been away from internet from some time, needed to take care of my health, but came here to check some new video updates! thank you and nice haircut ken!
as aways, sorry about my bad english hahahaha
take care and peace!
Greetings from Brazil!
9:30
Japan food handling safety is so thorough that they have a rice dish where they literally mix in a raw egg before eating
Thats how unlikely you are to catch salamonia? is that the word?
I'm so glad you reacted to this 👀
You should check Yakuza 8 too
I love them all :3
Community agree that Ichiban canonically have schizo that's what happening here
Not just ichiban now, kiryu too, lol.
There are a few badass female characters that turn up in the games but there are less of them since most stories focus on traditionally male-dominated Yakuza groups. As of the latest two games we’ve gotten playable women though, and they kick just as much ass as the gents!
😎👍😀
Yep Saeko, Emi and that Geomijul lady whose name escapes me. All strong female characters who kick ass
@@filizantSeonhee. There’s also Chitose from the new game.
So, the idea for "Like A Dragon" to be an RPG parody was originally conceived as an April Fool's Day joke by the creator of the Yakuza franchise. But enough of the fanbase thought it was cool enough that they basically said, "Either we get the RPG Yakuza game, or we riot," and so they actually made the full-fledged game because why not. They even state that Ichiban simply imagined these since he is a big fan of the RPG genre as a whole.
Love it 😁 Yakuza is such a fun franchise 😂
the substory for Subzero Sonata was worth it
Ha, Yakuza might've turned into a turn-based RPG, but it's still high quality.
Anyway, hope you'll react to Lost Judgment's EX actions soon, as well.
Some of the summons are Heals and Buffs. Hence you don't see them doing anything because they don't cut to the combat to show what they did to the player and their party members.
14:15
There are woman in the game that can join your party and fight alongside you, they also have their special animations for special skills, you can watch those (i think they are called kiwami actions?)
these summons are mostly from past characters and some special people you enconter and can help in the game
Patriarchs are like generals or leaders of the yakuza. I think it was yakuza 2 had a matriarch however I don’t remember what happened to her. But yeah the yakuza is mainly men and honestly I’d rather not see a woman get beat up especially since pretty much every yakuza besides the main characters murder and get murdered like all the time
The creator has even rejected proposals for Kiryu, the main protagonist of the franchise, to appear as a guest character in fighting games such as Tekken and Smash Bros despite his popularity and people wanting him in these games. His reason is basically that he doesn't want to see Kiryu hitting women since Kiryu is supposed to be an honorable gentleman amongst the other yakuza members.
All the cool female characters in the yakuza games are mainly in 7 and 8 as playable characters not poundmates
😎👍😀
RETSU GHET OVAH ZEH TOPPU!
When will you start Yakuza series?
Not sure. It’s gonna be a long journey playthrough with so many games 😅
The Yakuza series is wild!
One of the greatest games I’ve ever played. And I’m not even joking.
Just finished 8 last week and I agree with this statement
Watched this solely for the Gondawara summon.
So freaking jarring hearing this in English when I'm so use to the Japanese voices, anyway you guys should also check out the ones from Yakuza 8 infinite wealth as well as all of the ultimate attacks from both that and like a Dragon.
Sadly all the bad ass female characters don't come in until 6-8 there was one in Yakuza 2 but the writing team changed after 2 and she was written out of the series she doesn't come back until 8
Any other female characters in this series are either supporting characters or there to die
Fun fact: 40% of the Yakuza fan base are female
Thanks for all this info. Would’ve never guessed 40% of Yakuza fan base is female 😯
this is also one of the best yakuza games to get into the series
😎🤟
You should watch the Poundmates for Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yakuza 8 has some badass females for their summons, please react to it in the future its super awesome ❤
Thanks for letting us know 😀
you guys should react to like a dragon infinite wealth's poundmates next
I am a sucker for straight up beat downs in any series ao hundred fist of asura is my fav by so damn far
😎🤟
Just saw the community tab still hoping for battlefield 1 melee animations
Even if it doesn’t win there is enough interest that we are keeping it on our request list for down the line 😀
*Note* If/When you decide to play through the Yakuza series, you definitely don't want to do them all back to back unless you have a really good reason. I mean, you should start at 0 and move forward from there, but you should play other games in between. I know a lot of people put off the games because they think of doing them all at once but that is a whole lot of Yakuza! It's hard for anything to not get stale with that much to go through. Thankfully, the games are great at recapping anything from previous games if it is really relevant to the current storyline.
This is a great suggestion. And we indeed are intimidated because it feels like we have to play them all back to back. Appreciate this 😀🤗
Honestly, the Yakuza games are probably ones you should watch the plot of. They are games that watching the plot would take 8 hours, playing the game takes 250 hours. Unless you play them off stream, then do that.
It would be off stream. But 250 hours is a lot haha. But we play AC Valhalla and that was like 90 hours. And just one game not multiple ones 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames If you ignored everything but the main plot, you could maybe do it in 20 hours. But the games have a ton of side stuff. The side stuff is maybe 90% of the game.
You'll go to an arcade and there will be 4 different game cabinets. Those let you play 4 other games, start to finish in their entirety.
There will be a collectible card game, with it's own plot and characters, with cards all over the entire game.
The bowling alley, batting cages, and golf courses are fully functional.
An entire real estate management simulation.
I spent 3 hours on just the claw crane game in one of them.
And dozens of people wandering around town with their own storylines.
All that sort of stuff, and plenty more. And it's integrated, so doing one gives rewards to help in the others. They basically make the games so you don't finish it until the next one comes out.
Nancy-chan and omelette are badass female characters
Highly recommend you to react to Baldurs Gate 3 an unexpected adventure (with frodo and sam)
We did ua-cam.com/video/TikZmowgcHI/v-deo.htmlsi=q1ZA8ydTAMhQdnwH 😊
Yes finally another yakuza video
Also will you guys play the series on the channel
Yes we do plan on playing the series on the channel 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames alright, which game will you guys start with, Yakuza 0 or Yakuza Kiwami/1
P.S. I think you guys will enjoy this series
You guys have to do the Kiwami actions for this game too. They are great
😎👍😀
Oh yeah yakuza 7 is rpg turned based thats why you see these as special attacks/heals/supports ^^
😎👍😀
Ya gotta react to judgment from the yakuza series ex actions 🔥
Oh those are really good. There's a couple of them that are some of the coolest ones in the whole series
There are various badass female characters, although most of them are allies, you never get to fight any of them
😎👍
Part of the reason there are very few female fighters in the Yakuza series is that the creators want to uphold Kiryu's strict policy of not hitting women. They feel so strongly about this, they have expressed reservations about even putting him in fighting games as a guest character because you might be able to make him fight a woman, and that would be out of character.
The reaction was fun and all but I feel that you need to have played throught their substories in order to fully enjoy the experience. On their own it's just funny weird imagery but each one of these characters have a funny but heartwarming story to tell. So please play through the game, you won't regret it.
The Yakuza franchise is one we want to start playing. 😅
There are female party members in Yakuza 7
Yay 😀
Should react to overwatch 2 all hero voice lines
On our request list 😅
This is like JJK domain expansions but better and cooler
Dragon Quest 11 Pep Powers next please!!
Suggestion Yakuza 7 like dragon all characters attacks
At least Majima’s dub is alright
cute puppy alert!!
Aww, darn it! No Akiyama!
Hopefully more Yakuza 7 reactions stuff comes there is so much Heh
Seems like it’s a game with a lot of fun insanity to sort through haha 😛
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Mhm! Its so cool in both English and Japanese too. (I play it in Japanese, Text and Audio Hehe). Both sides are great at what they do.
can you react to yakuza all dynamic intros?
You should watch yakuza game out of context.
The funny thing is that all of these dudes are friends you can make through side stories. 😂
Love it 😁
Please play the whole series.
We plan to 😅
Bravo.
Please react to Yakuza like a dragon karaoke songs
Always down for some Karaoke 😁
Lotsa Yakuza games ngl.
Will probably never play them like Assassin's Creed.
Too many...
Except Like a Dragon in 2027.
Just start with one. See if you like it 😊
Lol wtf
Dub? Please never do dub.
Yeah. Japanese creativity can be either incredibly beautiful or absurdly weird.
We love them both.
😂😁
