This fight was the one and only time I used a sacrifice stone in the entire series. Which was thematically so great. Considering the sacrifice stone in 3 is a gift from Sayama, and with how Mine talks about how caring for people and love for others is a sign of weakness, it was Kiryu's bond with Sayama that allowed him to win the fight for me.

If Mine lived, Yakuza 4 would not have happened. The entire conflict with the Tojo Clan was that Daigo did not have enough money and power to control the Tojo. If Mine was there for Daigo, money and power would not have been a problem considering how rich and powerful his clan was.
Mine has 3 different heat auras, and each one makes him fight differently. None: Standard. He'll kick and try to counter your attacks. Orange: Boxer. Fast attacks with long combos. Red: Cannon. He becomes incredibly aggressive, gaining super armor, and many of his attacks will send Kiryu flying. He is also immune to grabs. Purple: Wall. Mostly the same as Standard, but he'll draw upon his power occasionally to heal himself. Use a finishing throw to interrupt this if you have it. He'll also counter any grabs attempted.
purple was probably one of the more tedious parts of the fight but it was overall a great experience, especially considering the amount of blocking that usually happens
Mine's fight was by far the best part of 3, like how in the hell does Yakuza always manage to create characters that grow on me in just one or two scenes? I love this series holy hell
maybe because they show that they had a good reason to do something that was before described as bad, and you learn something new about them that makes u rethink your opinion on them
@@ultrastrudelxxl665 I didnt really care so much about mine's backstory, more so i liked him cause i related to him on some degree, and for how in the end he learnt how to love, and with such love he even sacrificed himself
Just finished Yakuza 3 Remastered on Steam. And damn, I empathized him when he wants to meet Kiryu earlier in life. Still, he's a powerful boss to fought against. And I can't even believe his the first guy who did the Style switching before Kiryu in Yakuza 0 and Kiwami!
I don't care about how bad the blocking is or "god!! i hate orphanage story!!", this game is absolutely incredible and a great way to end Kiryu's third solo game.
@@werevin649 its 50/50 for me, while i did love seeing kiryu be like a father and help orphans like him, it was pretty tiresome having to go back and forth. very much enjoyed it though
I really like the orphanage story in the beginning, but I just felt it overstated it’s welcome. After 2 all I wanted was for kiryu to be happy but damn, taking almost half of the game for the plot to start majorly progressing left a bad taste in my mouth on the game.
right? both tamashiro fights were such bullshit, but the fight with mine felt so good, punishing you uf you overstepped but rewarding you for taking your time and waiting to strike
@@d0m0b40 i hated it. Kiryu wasnt upgraded enough so the only thing i could do when he entered heat mode is trying to beat his back, but i couldnt do it cuz he always was watching Kiryu
Fun fact: Mine used attack moves from two characters in Sega's obscure beat 'em up series called Spikeout. Spike Jr's uppercut and fully charged attack and White's sweep kicks. It's interesting how they reused animations even before Yakuza.
go into a hospital fight an entire family fight a max payne wannabe that says oh shit every 5 seconds fight the final boss dont shake joji kazama's hand something something win
Mine is probably my favourite boss in the Series, he's a dark splitting image of Kiryu, he's not evil, he just wanted someone to recognize him, someone that see him as equal, he's Kiryu if he never met his Friends, it's such a shame that he had to die, having him as an Ally to Kiryu would probably be the best thing ever happen in Yakuza series, next to Ryuji being an Ally in Y:DS
As Saejima said, killing yourself for "redemption" wont do shit, If Mine lived, so much could've prevented so much, and could've helped just as much, just like Nishiki, he didn't have to die. But it does go for show why Saejima and Kiryu are Legends, and they were not
I mean, Nishiki didn't exactly do it for redemption. He came to terms and realized what he did, and couldn't live with himself. It's not redemption if you don't intend on being forgiven. Although Mine definitely shouldn't have died, L story choice.
A lot of assets like fighting styles get recycled from past gaves get put into 0 kiwami and even in the games with e dragon engine like kiwami 2, 6 and judgment even has mine's moveset
This fight was by far the most memorable for Kiryu currently given the fact both of them grew up in a Orphanage driven by nothing but ambition and lonliness. It was sad how Mine died tho. That was practically Kiryu’s brother the way they fought out their emotions.
This has gotta be my favourite final boss theme of all time especially when it gets to 1:03, I fucking love the sound of that guitar it really makes this boss music have an almost bittersweet feel to it since Mine wasn't entirely bad, just like Ryuji
He had a tragic life and obviously had psychological traumas. I wish he never committed suicide. He should've threw Richardson off the roof and start a new life with Daigo and Kiryu.
7:40 epic ending of the theme. Also interesting how Mine put his right hand around kiryu's neck and fell down and accepted his defeat Also at 2:42 and 6:00 that's my most favorite moment of all. The piano and the rock guitar build up was so great, I will never forget this track. The piano and the rock guitar build up also displays Yoshitaka Mine's Life. The piano build up part on that reminds me that he had a rough childhood, He did everything he can to earn money and he succeeded yes. His life was sad, He had no companions and all that even that assistant.. But Mine can get really Brutal and that's where the rock part comes in. He was a tough opponent for sure. I'm glad that Yoshitaka Mine is the Final Opponent. Man Hidenori Shoji did a great job making this track. If you listen closely at 2:55 or 6:14 you can hear some violin parts in it too
It was gonna be a punch, that turned into a hug because he was beaten by the fatigue. That hug, in turn, symbolizes Mine's acceptance to defeat and as a man's gratitude to another by a "friendly" gesture. It can also be considered that the action turned from hostility to hospitality, showing Mine's relationship to Kiryu turning from an enemy to a friend.
man i had a blast with Y3, from start to finish, learning the moves and how to use the Bound mechanic (best mechanic in the franchise and it should return), Mine fight is amazing i love it, even tho i destroyed him with counters and the wall, the fight still was amazing and one of the best in the franchise
Im done with being ugly and fat. This song and the entire game has been a comfort place for me since i beat it the first time.. I will listen to this song while im working out... i will come back and give updates... just because xD
I'm disappointed by how no one is mentioning the fact that it's a remix of Rikya's death theme. That's the very thing that makes this so good for me. It's like Kiryu is avenging him
@@huuuuuuuh60871 The Metal Gear was the designation given to various models of bipedal tanks. Metal Gear were behemoth machines capable of decimating lesser machines. Metal Gear had the distinction of being nuclear capable, firing warheads from their rail gun, eliminating the need for a missile, or launchpad allowing them to attack targets from anywhere in the world, on any kind of terrain. This peaked with Metal Gear REX which was sophisticated enough to launch a nuke and hit a target from anywhere in the world. REX also had the distinction of being completely untraceable. The general definition of a Metal Gear prior to the collapse of the war economy was a mobile nuclear launch platform similar in purpose to ballistic missile submarines. However, its precise definition was debatable, as many other weapons had been designed to fill a similar role, or had used the same technology. The individual units had varied greatly in appearance and size, but their purpose had always been the same-to destabilize the global balance of power via the threat of covert long-range nuclear attack. The term "Metal Gear" was coined by Soviet weapons scientist Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin to describe to Naked Snake in 1964 the "missing link" between infantry and artillery: infantry could roam the battlefield at will, but were both vulnerable and lacking in firepower; artillery could inflict immense damage upon an opponent while resisting similar damage, but was at the mercy of the terrain. Granin envisioned a tank with legs, enabling it to quickly traverse the battlefield, inflicting and repelling damage on a scale never before seen. Following an encounter with a Gekko in 2014, Otacon explained to Old Snake that what made a "Metal Gear" was specifically its nuclear launch capability, or in the case of RAY, being designed specifically to eliminate REX as an application of overall nuclear strategy.[1] Considering Granin's original coinage of the term, it could be therefore assumed that a Metal Gear could be defined as a bipedal nuclear weapon. Not only did this negate the Gekkos and the Mk. II/Mk. III from being true Metal Gears, but it also discounted Metal Gear RAY. Otacon noted that RAY was an exception to the definition, as it was overall created under the premise of nuclear strategy (it targeting nuclear warhead-equipped Metal Gears
Nah it's the other way around. Rikiya's death scene is a unique version of this, the main theme of the game or Mine's theme. Whichever you prefer. Even if it was Rikiya's song, it's too cool for him. He mid as hell compare to Mine.
Honestly I didn't like yakuza 3 all that much but that being said I couldn't find a single flaw with the mine fight it was just a blast from start to finish
The second half of the game was amazing, but the first half of the game was an overload of Dad Simulator. It was nice seeing Kiryu being a responsible and kind father figure for the kids with a soft side for Haruka, but almost an entire half of the storyline of the above is not something I would have expected in a Yakuza game. Still, the second half made an amazing comeback for a slow first half ngl.
I actually really like the gameplay, and I played the two Kiwamis before it. Snappy, quick and let you do a lot of cool combos. I didn't like Yakuza 3 after finishing it, but it grew on me. I think it's one of the better games in the series now, a lot in part to the Summer-esque environments. Plus, the story's kinda wacky. Kiryu runs an orphanage now, but it's being threatened by shady dealings. But yeah, good game.
I find ironic that the fucking miniboss when you defeat all the thugs at the lower hospital levels is harder than Mine and Richardson fights together lmao.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who struggled against the Hakuho Family Captain. His attacks are fast, he has some armor, hits like a truck and has a lot of health.
@@punishednerosparda2958 "fuck those guys," y'know, I always assumed the Man in Black to be just one dude, but it acutally being multiple people makes a lot of sense. Especially after fighting him in Kamurocho Hills after witnessing him be run over in the highway scene.
I fucking love Yakuza, man. All these big action set pieces and dramatic final bosses will be with me forever, I doubt I'll ever replay the series, I'll go back to 100% them all sure, but I doubt I'll ever do a second full playthrough, I feel like the impact of the series' end will be lessened if I do

As long as it keeps the plot mostly the same (with some tweaks here and there that don’t ruin it) and make the AI less of a little guarding b**ch. seriously, any other change to it would be infinitely better then it’s current state.
@@moister3727 I don’t think it’s necessary either, but I think it could do a lot of good and add scenes to make a lot of things make more sense plot wise, especially with characters like Andre Richardson and the new Nishikiyama family
A lot of music in the games and remakes that came after 3 use a motif from this song and it’s become a pretty normal occurrence throughout the series. I think the most obvious use of it is in Battle for the Dream, the final boss theme of yakuza 5. Mine was also just a really memorable boss fight with a banger like this in background.
With how Lost Judgment is doing well, especially each time a new dragon engine game gets released it gradually becomes better, Kiwami 3 would end up being a favorite with many people
I would love to see Okinawa in the Dragon Engine, as Onomichi, which is kind of similar to Okinawa from the aesthetics is the most beautiful location in the entire franchise.
Not unless they overhauled Kiryu's fighting mechanics in the dragon engine, since they're pretty wack in both 6 and Kiwami 2. Seeing Ryukyu rendered in the dragon engine would look incredible though, and it's one of my favorite locations in the series.
Yeah, Kiryu's fighting style is so bare bones in 6 and K2, especially compared to Yagami. If they ever make Kiwami 3 he'll definitely have some sort of style switching, cuz Mine also has different styles in his fight. Also Ryukyu in dragon engine would look jaw droppingly beautiful.
Mine was looking for a purpouse in his life, massive wealth did not satisfy him, it had him searching for more, then in this fight he realised.. *It is in a Kirin's nature to fight the dragon.*
As of now with the new VF5US DLC that added in Yakuza costumes and soundtrack to characters and their stages, the character El Blaze has Mine's outfit and this version plays on his stage.
Just imagine what we would get if Y3 got the Kiwami treatment. An already great game getting even better (hopefully the OST too). Remember using the same styles as Shibusawa in the finale against him? You could do this with Mine.
Few games and movies are sufficiently swollen with kindness, humanism, and manly power to blast their rad-ass theme song over the final boss fight, but my hat is off to the ones that do. It never fails to make me incredibly happy.
its funny that in the game that has the most frustrating combat and bosses for me ends with one of my favorite bosses in the entire series. Like no joke, Mine accompanied by this theme made all the pain worth it (even though i still like Yakuza 3 overall)
It makes me sad because this music reminds me a lot of F-Zero GX due to the same composer, knowing we're not gonna get another game kind of hurts. Honestly I can imagine racing around a difficult stage to this song
Just Finished Yakuza 3, despite people saying the combat is bad, I didn't feel it was terrible, if anything it's more strategic and challenging. As in Kiwamis and Zero you can go swing your fists randomly and you will hit someone, that shit didn't worked in 3, you have to dodge enemies and then counter them in the back, or start your combo swinging the air and landing Only the finishing blows, getting good at komaki moves also felt good and pretty mandatory for smooth gameplay. And Mine's Fight required all of what you learned.
Completely agree. I will say I wish the game gave you parry, tiger drop and knock back right at the beginning tho, combat would have been so much more fun that way. Unfortunately many who play the game probably just b-line the main story and don't unlock all these moves as well as the amazing heat moves you can discover
Legend difficulty hurts to play through 3 on. The fight balancing on harder difficulties was abysmal. Most enemies would be able to block right out of your combos even if you hit them from the backside. I tried to beat the game without making Kiryu a drug addict and it made fights even more boring and long.
@@chry9353 I gave up on Legend because of the Mack Chase lmao. It's not even that hard but it's right after that Avoiding police section and Men In Black Fight, and it's easy to mess up, I lost 2 times and was like, fuck this 🤣

If Mine lived, Yakuza 4 would not have happened. The entire conflict with the Tojo Clan was that Daigo did not have enough money and power to control the Tojo. If Mine was there for Daigo, money and power would not have been a problem considering how rich and powerful his clan was.

@@96visual :( our boy.
Mine has 3 different heat auras, and each one makes him fight differently.
None: Standard. He'll kick and try to counter your attacks.
Orange: Boxer. Fast attacks with long combos.
Red: Cannon. He becomes incredibly aggressive, gaining super armor, and many of his attacks will send Kiryu flying. He is also immune to grabs.
Purple: Wall. Mostly the same as Standard, but he'll draw upon his power occasionally to heal himself. Use a finishing throw to interrupt this if you have it. He'll also counter any grabs attempted.
He's basically the early concept of Kiryu's fighting style in 0
Mine is the only boss character that has 3 styles
(Edit) I forgot shibusawa from yakuza 0 also has 3 styles
You can also Konami parry his purple aura when he goes to heal himself for some reason
@@daturk3y264 when he enters his healing state while you're next to him it staggers you so i think thats what you're parrying.
purple was probably one of the more tedious parts of the fight but it was overall a great experience, especially considering the amount of blocking that usually happens
Mine's fight was by far the best part of 3, like how in the hell does Yakuza always manage to create characters that grow on me in just one or two scenes? I love this series holy hell

You could also add the first boss to do so before Shibusawa in 0

I don't care about how bad the blocking is or "god!! i hate orphanage story!!", this game is absolutely incredible and a great way to end Kiryu's third solo game.
Mine fight was so cool :D
The ending however was bs tho -Hamazaki stabbing Kiryu-
I actually liked that.
The orphanage part was the best part of the game what the fuck are people on about
@@werevin649 its 50/50 for me, while i did love seeing kiryu be like a father and help orphans like him, it was pretty tiresome having to go back and forth. very much enjoyed it though

This and joji kazama are the best fights in the game without a doubt. Brilliant in everything

Fun fact: Mine used attack moves from two characters in Sega's obscure beat 'em up series called Spikeout. Spike Jr's uppercut and fully charged attack and White's sweep kicks. It's interesting how they reused animations even before Yakuza.
isn't it just Mishima's Wind God Fist?
I see Mishima's Wind God Fist (including the wavedash) and Law's somersault kicks. He even has a dempsey roll.
i do think it's the wind god fist from mishimas, cause he tend to wavedash to you then execute the move. Has similar effect on block too

Mine is probably my favourite boss in the Series, he's a dark splitting image of Kiryu, he's not evil, he just wanted someone to recognize him, someone that see him as equal, he's Kiryu if he never met his Friends, it's such a shame that he had to die, having him as an Ally to Kiryu would probably be the best thing ever happen in Yakuza series, next to Ryuji being an Ally in Y:DS
As Saejima said, killing yourself for "redemption" wont do shit, If Mine lived, so much could've prevented so much, and could've helped just as much, just like Nishiki, he didn't have to die. But it does go for show why Saejima and Kiryu are Legends, and they were not

A lot of assets like fighting styles get recycled from past gaves get put into 0 kiwami and even in the games with e dragon engine like kiwami 2, 6 and judgment even has mine's moveset
This fight was by far the most memorable for Kiryu currently given the fact both of them grew up in a Orphanage driven by nothing but ambition and lonliness. It was sad how Mine died tho. That was practically Kiryu’s brother the way they fought out their emotions.
This song perfectly captures "I dont want to fight you, but it's too late to turn back."
This has gotta be my favourite final boss theme of all time especially when it gets to 1:03, I fucking love the sound of that guitar it really makes this boss music have an almost bittersweet feel to it since Mine wasn't entirely bad, just like Ryuji
He had a tragic life and obviously had psychological traumas. I wish he never committed suicide. He should've threw Richardson off the roof and start a new life with Daigo and Kiryu.
7:40 epic ending of the theme. Also interesting how Mine put his right hand around kiryu's neck and fell down and accepted his defeat
Also at 2:42 and 6:00 that's my most favorite moment of all. The piano and the rock guitar build up was so great, I will never forget this track. The piano and the rock guitar build up also displays Yoshitaka Mine's Life. The piano build up part on that reminds me that he had a rough childhood, He did everything he can to earn money and he succeeded yes. His life was sad, He had no companions and all that even that assistant.. But Mine can get really Brutal and that's where the rock part comes in. He was a tough opponent for sure.
I'm glad that Yoshitaka Mine is the Final Opponent. Man Hidenori Shoji did a great job making this track.

It was gonna be a punch, that turned into a hug because he was beaten by the fatigue.

It can also be considered that the action turned from hostility to hospitality, showing Mine's relationship to Kiryu turning from an enemy to a friend.

@@huuuuuuuh60871 The Metal Gear was the designation given to various models of bipedal tanks. Metal Gear were behemoth machines capable of decimating lesser machines. Metal Gear had the distinction of being nuclear capable, firing warheads from their rail gun, eliminating the need for a missile, or launchpad allowing them to attack targets from anywhere in the world, on any kind of terrain. This peaked with Metal Gear REX which was sophisticated enough to launch a nuke and hit a target from anywhere in the world. REX also had the distinction of being completely untraceable.
The general definition of a Metal Gear prior to the collapse of the war economy was a mobile nuclear launch platform similar in purpose to ballistic missile submarines. However, its precise definition was debatable, as many other weapons had been designed to fill a similar role, or had used the same technology. The individual units had varied greatly in appearance and size, but their purpose had always been the same-to destabilize the global balance of power via the threat of covert long-range nuclear attack.
The term "Metal Gear" was coined by Soviet weapons scientist Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin to describe to Naked Snake in 1964 the "missing link" between infantry and artillery: infantry could roam the battlefield at will, but were both vulnerable and lacking in firepower; artillery could inflict immense damage upon an opponent while resisting similar damage, but was at the mercy of the terrain. Granin envisioned a tank with legs, enabling it to quickly traverse the battlefield, inflicting and repelling damage on a scale never before seen.
Following an encounter with a Gekko in 2014, Otacon explained to Old Snake that what made a "Metal Gear" was specifically its nuclear launch capability, or in the case of RAY, being designed specifically to eliminate REX as an application of overall nuclear strategy.[1] Considering Granin's original coinage of the term, it could be therefore assumed that a Metal Gear could be defined as a bipedal nuclear weapon. Not only did this negate the Gekkos and the Mk. II/Mk. III from being true Metal Gears, but it also discounted Metal Gear RAY. Otacon noted that RAY was an exception to the definition, as it was overall created under the premise of nuclear strategy (it targeting nuclear warhead-equipped Metal Gears
Nah it's the other way around. Rikiya's death scene is a unique version of this, the main theme of the game or Mine's theme. Whichever you prefer. Even if it was Rikiya's song, it's too cool for him. He mid as hell compare to Mine.
That's because the license for the actual song used in Rikiya's death expired. The name of that song is "Jikan yo Tomare" by Eikichi Yazawa.

Honestly I didn't like yakuza 3 all that much but that being said I couldn't find a single flaw with the mine fight it was just a blast from start to finish
Yeah like, yakuza 3 story wise is like A tier for me, but gameplay wise its the worst one for me, every boss sucked soo much (except mine of course)
Yeah the story is pretty great but I didn't enjoy the gameplay until at least late hospital
But I fully agree there
The second half of the game was amazing, but the first half of the game was an overload of Dad Simulator. It was nice seeing Kiryu being a responsible and kind father figure for the kids with a soft side for Haruka, but almost an entire half of the storyline of the above is not something I would have expected in a Yakuza game. Still, the second half made an amazing comeback for a slow first half ngl.
I actually really like the gameplay, and I played the two Kiwamis before it. Snappy, quick and let you do a lot of cool combos. I didn't like Yakuza 3 after finishing it, but it grew on me. I think it's one of the better games in the series now, a lot in part to the Summer-esque environments. Plus, the story's kinda wacky. Kiryu runs an orphanage now, but it's being threatened by shady dealings. But yeah, good game.

Best ever fight battle! I could literally live this fight forever!
whenever I think of the Yakuza games ,this song comes to mind for some reason.
A lot of music in the games and remakes that came after 3 use a motif from this song and it’s become a pretty normal occurrence throughout the series. I think the most obvious use of it is in Battle for the Dream, the final boss theme of yakuza 5. Mine was also just a really memorable boss fight with a banger like this in background.
It’s either this or the NA intro for Yakuza 0
the dynamic intro for this fight is one of my favorites tbh
After beating this game on hard this final fight was so good.
The hospital long battle with Clay Doll On the Cradle leading into the fight with Mine to this song is so fucking badass. I love Yakuza 3 so much.

That would solve *so* many of this games issues
inb4 Majima and second-to-last reaper guy still dodge across the map
With how Lost Judgment is doing well, especially each time a new dragon engine game gets released it gradually becomes better, Kiwami 3 would end up being a favorite with many people
I would love to see Okinawa in the Dragon Engine, as Onomichi, which is kind of similar to Okinawa from the aesthetics is the most beautiful location in the entire franchise.
Not unless they overhauled Kiryu's fighting mechanics in the dragon engine, since they're pretty wack in both 6 and Kiwami 2. Seeing Ryukyu rendered in the dragon engine would look incredible though, and it's one of my favorite locations in the series.
Yeah, Kiryu's fighting style is so bare bones in 6 and K2, especially compared to Yagami. If they ever make Kiwami 3 he'll definitely have some sort of style switching, cuz Mine also has different styles in his fight.
Also Ryukyu in dragon engine would look jaw droppingly beautiful.
Mine was looking for a purpouse in his life, massive wealth did not satisfy him, it had him searching for more, then in this fight he realised.. *It is in a Kirin's nature to fight the dragon.*
As of now with the new VF5US DLC that added in Yakuza costumes and soundtrack to characters and their stages, the character El Blaze has Mine's outfit and this version plays on his stage.
Just imagine what we would get if Y3 got the Kiwami treatment. An already great game getting even better (hopefully the OST too). Remember using the same styles as Shibusawa in the finale against him? You could do this with Mine.

1:31 the best part
It makes me sad because this music reminds me a lot of F-Zero GX due to the same composer, knowing we're not gonna get another game kind of hurts.
Honestly I can imagine racing around a difficult stage to this song
Just Finished Yakuza 3, despite people saying the combat is bad, I didn't feel it was terrible, if anything it's more strategic and challenging.
As in Kiwamis and Zero you can go swing your fists randomly and you will hit someone, that shit didn't worked in 3, you have to dodge enemies and then counter them in the back, or start your combo swinging the air and landing Only the finishing blows, getting good at komaki moves also felt good and pretty mandatory for smooth gameplay. And Mine's Fight required all of what you learned.
Completely agree. I will say I wish the game gave you parry, tiger drop and knock back right at the beginning tho, combat would have been so much more fun that way. Unfortunately many who play the game probably just b-line the main story and don't unlock all these moves as well as the amazing heat moves you can discover
Legend difficulty hurts to play through 3 on. The fight balancing on harder difficulties was abysmal. Most enemies would be able to block right out of your combos even if you hit them from the backside. I tried to beat the game without making Kiryu a drug addict and it made fights even more boring and long.
