Thanks! I always kinda appreciate it.
I have never been this emotional at the end of a game before. Kiryu has truly been through IT ALL to protect those kids, and seeing him break down over how much they’ve grown was a complete rollercoaster. Wasn’t a single dry eye in my house when that scene was playing.
This should be a proper ending to Yakuza 5 instead.
@@damarfadlan9251even the final boss and antagonist was what 5 should’ve been. at least they nailed it this time
@@Bluey2600 I thought I was only one who had this idea. Like, Shishido is basically Aizawa but in good writer hand.
I cried at that part
Fan fact: Shishido's tattoo is The Lion with Peonies. It's the same design as the protagonist of Showa Zankyo-Den, most well known 60s yakuza film. This makes him even more symbolic of old-style, more like outdated yakuza.
Thats a Shisa right?
@@gianncmedina7805
The Japanese word for lion Shishi and Okinawa's Shisa both have their origins in the same Chinese stone lion Shíshī. Their designs are so similar.
We went from Yakuza: Like A Dragon's godly bread physics, to this game's godly tears and snot physics.
what are you talking about that's the elixir/essence of the silenced dragon
@@munmunyeeEww.
This looks a notch better than a Dreamcast game… put this on the PS3 and I’m impressed! Other than the story this is not very good at all

@@thosemerc3113 MAYBE!!!!
It hurts when Daigo can't even talk to the man, he called his father. And Majima also just wanted to talk to his old friend. Must be really painful.
I'm sure Kiryus tears are more painful than any other fight or punch he has received over the years.

You
Don't forget Saejima, they're close friends as well. They served as each other backbone at the end of Yakuza 4 and 5.
Kuroda-San's voice acting during Kiryu's crying scene was INCREDIBLE. Probably some of the best voice acting work I've ever heard in a video game. I can hear the pain in that poor baby's voice. Ojisan needs a hug or 20 🥺
Imagine it being Yongyea 😂
@@Yoshikage8008we're breaking the law
@@Yoshikage8008I genuinely hope the English version of this never sees the light of day.
@@Yoshikage8008 who tf cares weirdo 😭😭
@@Yoshikage8008Depends I suppose. I think that he's a decent voice actor but horribly miscast and given shit direction by the localization director (which for the latter, seems to be the case so far for LAD8 as a whole).
Man imagine you dissapeared for a long time and erasing your identity just to protect the ones you love and seeing your family on cam they've thought you're dead and moved on with their lives but they still remember you on how much you give them a positive impact to change their lives for the better and how much you cared about them. Its hard to see this situation like this.
It is kind of like an open secret that he is not dead. Which will be a plot point in infinite wealth
@@ebbisnar8616 And the whole Daidojo is kind of screw up, it is effectly government run suicide squad. Kiryu effectly traded a master for another.
The last fight against Shishido made me cry a little. This man had to raise himself, and the Omi was the only place he had. In his twisted mind, he thought taking the Omi for himself would grant him power once in his life. Shishido was also my favorite character by this point. Everything he had to endure... it's horrible.
And then the Daidoji kidnaps him with Nishitani, the same guy that put Shishido through hell, to make them both agents
shishido might be thinking its for survival but at the end of the day they all knew they were gonna become slaves. its like people forgot how hilariously pathetic the tokyo omi alliance and rk were. the only those two groups had were muscle
God this entire part is so perfect, love the final fight so much. Love how it starts off at the pinnacle of the omi. The highest, most powerful position and ends at the very bottom front entrance of the omi.
Showing that he had it all and slowly one floor at a time he falls all the way back down to rock bottom again. Such an awesome way of telling a story through visuals
Reminded me of the final aizawa fight from yakuza 5 where he kept throwing him further and further away from the throne
the sunset as well in the background of the final phase, the sun setting on the Omi clan
@@patr4286 I also love the visual at 35:23, Shishido in a last stand as the protector of the Omi Alliance
it could be like a callback to that fight, although Shishido is better version of Aizawa@@blacktimbs8354
@@messmermusicals1367Not to mention, his tattoo, the Shiisaa, said to be the protector of evil for the people of Okinawa. In this case, Shisido is the protector, the last stand of the Omi Alliance, protecting against the evil dragon Kiryu from Omi's dissolution
Playing through this I had such a big smile on my face during that final boss fight. Thank god for Gaiden for giving us a proper final boss for the non-turnbased games, dude had some INSANE tenacity to rip out a knife out of his hand like it was nothing.
i doubt this is the last realtime combat game, there's still the judgment series and RGG knows the core fanbase loves action combat enough to at least support smaller releases like gaiden or larger spinoffs like judgment
Meant more so last one for Kiryu@@sammyexx
Nah we need one more brawler based Kiryu game that's full fledged and with all his fighting styles
@@KingShibe I once read somewhere they were concidering making yakuza 0.2. To tell the story about what happend between yakuza 0 and 1
@@KingShibeLike a Dragon Gaiden is basically like a prototyped version of Yakuza 4 for some reason.
Y'know, seeing this, Kiryu really did earn Father of the Year.
Everyone(and I do mean EVERY. ONE.) of those kids he helped went on to bigger and better things, especially to help others. And at least Haruka and Haruto don't believe he's dead. Maybe Haruto and Kiryu will meet in a future game when the kid's grown up(Might not happen, but still...).
Edit: HE EVEN LEFT BEHIND YUMI'S RING THREE YEARS LATER?? That is proof of a man who has learned to let go.
He finally overcome Kazama Shintaro, his father figure and his brother.
They won't because he dies in the next game.
@@jamiem2494"dies"
@@jamiem2494 He will because his identity is exposed, meaning daidoji will come after the orphanage and he have to protect it himself.
@@umairphoenixit's because he got cancer dog
Man, Yakuza 6's ending hurt me, but seeing Taichi and Ayako's message destroyed me.
LEAVE. THIS. MAN. BE. HAPPY. DAMMIT
He was happy. In Yakuza 3. If only just for a bit.
Yumi warned him with her dying words to Haruka.
"Don't run. If you do, your happiness will slip away. Running isn't the answer."
It took Kiryu 7 more games to understand that lesson in full.
the fact kiryu straight up grabbed shishido's blade by the edge shows how little he truly cares for his mortality anymore. a man with nothing to lose is most dangerous
A man who has too much to lose vs a man who has nothing to lose
Quite poetic if you ask me
Both can be taken on by a man with one last thing left to lose
@@TheMiddleFiddlecome to think of it Kiryu has one last thing to lose, kids. He is still worried about them and Shishido threatens him here to kill them
i don't think its that. i think its the fact that shishido almost sliced one of kiryu's arms off. he was constantly getting close to killing kiryu compared to aizawa who was beating up kiryu but unfortunately was a single punch away. not to mention the fact that majima and saejima both couldn't beat down shishido even though he had a blade in his hand. it makes me believe that shishido might be more powerful than kiryu, but he just got really lucky.
@@Sockren Before Shishido, Saejima was Kiryu's equal, but after this game, Shishido is easly the most op yakuza in the entire franchise, easly on par with Kiryu.
Seeing Kiryu crying.... it’s really touch all of our hearts!
we all cried there
@@camedark_vods yep! I cried too. No lie.
Not gonna lie, got me destroyed
yep
@@MabingusGoro
Yeah, just started tearing up...damn onion ninjas
All in all, Shishido turned out to be a very good villain. It made sense why he did what he did and the battle against him was fun from start to finish. When Majima stabbed through Shishido's hand and it barely fazed him was honestly a top 5 moment from this game.
And with him being able to overpower majima AND saejima at the same time. Imo I feel like he could have killed them 1 vs 1
@@hidan407 majima probably but saejima hell nah
one of the better villains in the series and he comes from a fucking half game where he somehow has more screentime than most of the other main villains
@@hidan407I don’t think he would’ve killed them, he just caught them off guard and they underestimated him. If Kiryu was able to beat Shishido then Majima and Saejima should be able to as well. Especially if it’s both of them.
@@hidan407 To be fair, they did just have to fight like, a entire room of Omi beforehand, and Saejima was basically saying that they were pretty tired, so they weren't really at 100% when they were trying to pressure Shishido. It's still really impressive regardless though, Shishido's a genuinely intimidating guy to be able to do that even to a tired Majima and Saejima. Plus, he was going toe to toe with Kiryu for a while, even if he lost. Guy has tenacity and endurance for days.
The final phase gave me goosebumps. The change in music, the sunset, the boys all watching the fight from below, amazing stuff.
Not to mention the symbolism of Shishido being literally forced out of the Omi.
This is one of those fights that made me abandon the easy winning moves and choose to drag the fight out just to savour the beauty and epicness of it all.
This is literally Aizawa 2.0 and I love it
@@Ulqui_210the final boss battle in Like a Dragon Gaiden literally quite easy yet very time consuming.
fr you could summarize it as *"The Yakuza ends when these halls are emptied, it's time for us to go Shishido."*
"This is one of those fights that made me abandon the easy winning moves and choose to drag the fight out just to savour the beauty and epicness of it all." i thought i was the only one who had done this, i'm glad to see i was wrong! i really did everything to drag the fight and savour it, too.
Saddly, I did not!
However, I'm not regretting not dragging it. Im regretting it because I did Essence of the Dragon God on Shishido, which DESTROYED him, but I did not synch the music😭😭😭
I feel like people aren't mentioning how SAD shishido's ending is. He wasn't even given the mercy of death after all his plans failed. He lost his status as yakuza, he can't live a free live no matter what and is now forced to work under daidoji under a short leash meaning he'll never get any rest and will be under watch 24/7, and he'll have to work with nishitani. I love how after he heard that you can actually see the fear he got in his eyes.
Well he knew too much. If they let him live and he goes after the orphan kids Joryu would never obey the Daidoji no matter what. They already knew what would happen if the kids were threatened.
@@erniefu1610i dobut he would make anything to the kids. he just said that to make Kiryu angry (and thus, lose his focus).
Can't say that I pity him, if only he went along with Kiryu and Watase he still had a chance to live a free life and probably working as freelance muscle had he put aside his pride as yakuza.
@@evantambolang3052 No. Just, no.
The whole point of Shishido is that he represents exactly those yakuzas both Daigo and Watase know couldn't be saved. They're just too balls deep in the game to ever return to the civilian life.
Look at Shishido, with all the scars in his face, tatoos all the way to his wrists, there was zero chance in the world for him to be acepted in civilian life. In real life, most ex-yakuza aren't able to get jobs and are excluded from society, not to mention how mentaly deranged they are from their experiences.
Even in Yakuza 3, Kashiwagi had a group dedicated to help ex-yakuza to integrate to the civilian world, but even then, it wasn't enough for a lot of them.
@@evantambolang3052 there’s no way he would’ve accepted that though with how selfish he was
I never thought this series would get me to cry more than it did with Rikiya, but Taichi/Ayako speaking to Kiryu/him getting to see Haruto’s picture broke me
Bro Rikiya was just some stupid obnoxious kid just like Nishiki was. That’s why they both died lmao. And Nishiki especially because he thought he can be the fckng villain when he was just a stupid kid for a brother compared to Kiryu😅😅. Kiryu literally beats his ass at the end.
Ricky Mask Slander will not be tolerated
@@subtheman2136 The disrespect Lmao
21:57 the discussion about balls with Kiryu and Daigo and then majima giving smirk to saejima had me in stitches when I first saw it. I’m glad the localisation team acknowledged how memeable Saejima’s dialogue can be
A lot of ball talk in this game for sure!
@@McSiresonGolden ball? I got all the balls i need already
Balls out, 6th chairman.
balls out as always
Never forget to always go balls out
At 16:19, is it just me, or does Majima sound like he momentarily dropped his Mad Dog persona, and returned to his Y0 personality? He practically begs Kiryu not to leave him and the gang. To me , he really misses Kiryu, but just didn't want to show it.
That whole scene was so heart wrenching in its subtle way. Majima begging Kiryu to stay, Daigo having a quick grasp on the situation and his sad acceptance of it, their quick father-to-son exchange, the fact that Kiryu can't even look at them. And then I remembered that the ugly crying scene has not happened yet so I buckled up... :')
Majima knows what it's like to have to pretend to be someone else to protect the people he loves, no wonder he knew what Kiryu was up to at that moment
Not gonna lie.
Seeing Kazuma Kiryu cry and knowing the reasons why gut punched me in the feels... hard.
I feel like Hanawa was Morinaga based off this ending. Not only do they have the same VA, but he literally said that he was acquainted with Taichi Suzuki
They are both shorter than kiryu
@@foufoustv2060I like how you make that the connection but not the fact that he knows Taichi Suzuki 😂😭
I guess we never did see Morinaga's body huh?
im on a mix of thinking its either nakajima (the guy running the taxi business and employed kiryu) or morinaga. the reason i say nakajima is not only does he look similar to him, but he also knew taichi suzuki was an alias from the start. not to mention it could also add some other reasons to why he has such a bond with kiryu and hesitated killing him. morinaga makes more sense but its cool to make theories
@@Sockrenhe looks nothing like hanawa so its probably some aquaintance of morinaga
So heart wrenching..
He’s risked a lot for them in the hopes that they would be able to care for themselves despite him not being there. Yet in the end, he realised that the he really needed them more than they need him and the fact that he’s unable to tell them this because of his decisions.
The fact that he gazed upon Haruto’s drawing proudly like a proud parent, knowing that he grew up and remembered him despite him being a baby at the time… fuck man..
The game up to this point when you go into fights, the font is this formal rigid style. Probably symbolic to Kiryu upholding his Agent persona.
And at the final boss, we return to the traditional, stylized Yakuza font. Like the Yakuza in Kiryu has come back to fight for what he believes is the right thing to do.
Man this series is so tight.
Well, hate to be the guy, but all major boss fights will have the old Yakuza font, as well as all character introductions. That said, it's really a very good attention to detail even with the tight deadline of the production
@@darrylaz3570 ah ok, I missed that point then. But at least they were still like, relatively big shot Yakuza so the font makes sense still.
@@darrylaz3570 But they simply omitted the original writing like they did in the English versions of the first two games back in the PS2. It was disappointing that they didn't keep the original Japanese writings for character introductions while translations are provided as subtitles in current English versions.
@@AJ15istthe subtitles just look bad
SOB THE ENDING HAD ME CRYING SO MUCH THAT WAS EVIL TO SHOW THE VIDEO AND DRAWING they're so old now and the whole situation is still so sad, kiryu saying he needed them was so touching everything was tearjerking
Right?!?! I just finished the game a couple hours ago and I still feel sad
It wasn't evil. Kiryu thanked him and said he appreciated it and I'm glad Kiryu got an update as to how the kids are doing rather than being in the dark about everything, I'm happy he's seeing his grandson growing up, he really deserves it after everything
RGG was really like “hey guys this is just a side game ok 👉👈” then proceeded to casually drop one of the greatest final boss fights in their entire catalogue
Crying doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It means you’ve been strong for far too long.
EDIT: for crying out loud. How on earth did this comment invite a debate on gender roles of all things!?
Crying is healthy when done for good reason. People who cry at the slightest inconvenience are weak.
In my eyes, your tears are sacred. They have meaning. Shed them for what's important to you. Not for spilled milk.
@@gabrielbjornursidae ALL of this. This was the exact lesson my late old man had taught me. That being said, the ending made me cry like a b****.
can we just stop enforcing the social construct of gender roles😭😭
@@NedawdekkodKemam You're the one that brought gender into this. And no, we cannot. Every society, regardless of how small or large it may be, will have gender roles. It's just how our species works. Things could always be worse though, we could have gender roles the equivalent of Hyenas (it's rough).
@@gabrielbjornursidae ok but being “weak” does not line up with modern male gender roles so it’s very much relevant to bring gender up
i literally sobbed and cried probably even more than Kiryu at that part the guy has been so fucking many hardships and even when he thought it was over they pulled him right back in huge props to Takaya Kuroda as always give this man an oscar
I can't handle this man. The fucking tears GOD. This really touched me and to know that Kiryu has something that will kill him for sure in the next game... I'll miss him
They can't kill him man 😭 I really really hope he gets to retire for good and live with his family while he watches Haruto grow up please RGG 🙏😭

He won't, the franchise will go with him otherwise
Missin the point of LaD7?@@deanmadnut2614
@@deanmadnut2614 Judgement did fine without Kiryu
The games seem to have managed with Ichiban as the protaganist and Kiryu's only been in 7 for the last segments of that game
Kiryu's earned the rest, you clearly cant fathom a game without him included
Honestly that has to be one of if not the most emotional Yakuza endings. Not just because a flashy badass fight, not just a touching moment between characters, but Kiryuu of all people outright breaking down after seeing the kids was something else. The sheer emotion in the voice was perfect and such a tragically positive ending that had me from start to finish.
RGG is so evil man, showing that video and drawing in the end is unfair, seeing taichi as firefighter really takes me back when playing yakuza 3 where kiryu and the kids still happy and playing baseball together, kiryu must be so proud of his kids, hopefully he can find happiness in the next game 😭😭😭
As much as I like how much Iwami broke from the mold of final villains for Kiryu, I'm so happy with Shishido being Kiryu's real final fight.
yeah.. about that
@@Ranchson Hey Ebina's no slouch either. Both he and Shishido represent interesting aspects of both Kiryu and RGG moving on from this era of their story.
And both are still better finales than Iwami.
@@unamusedrohan1666 I was talking about the “real final fight” part. It wasn’t Shishido as Kiryu’s final fight, it was Ebina.
@@Ranchsonit was turnbased so is not kiryu's real fight so yeah. Screw that boss.
If nothing else, this final boss fight really reminds me of the final boss fight of Yakuza 5. Right down to fighting from the center of HQ and ending up outside.
The parallels to Aizawa is uncanny
Except that the fight feels unfair too, that guy is tall and buffed as F and he has a katana! this is by far the most epic Yakuza final boss
It's really sad that aside from Yakuza: ishin, Aizawa gets so little attention despite being such a loved underdog by fans
He is aizawa with better writting
@andresashura5550 I will have to agree. As much as I love Aizawa, the way he was used in the story wasn't executed too well
Kudos for Shishido for being such a vicious villain.
It's just a shame he got to face Kiryu at peak manlyness.
I mean, look at those knees to the face! Damn
@@ebbisnar8616hell he even just straight up ate a kick in the gut from kiryu too and just started giving a speech. He’s up there with Ryuji and and Saejima in the list of tough Kansai bastards.

You also have to take into account the previous damage Shishido sustained at the construction site, fighting Tsuruno, Kiryu and Watase, not to mention the finisher he took: a fall several stories high. Judging from his mucky clothes and bloodied face, Shishido probably got out of the ditch without anyone s help and was too determined to bother treating his wounds.
Despite the injuries, Shishido still held off Majima's attack, unbothered of being stabbed through the hand. He stalled Saejima, perhaps the only character surpassing Kiryu in raw power, with the guard of a sword THAT HE ISNT EVEN USED TO (He picked Nishitani's sword.) Oh yea, he also shrugs off a kick by Kiryu and doesnt even keel over despite his injuries.
Then uh, cue the boss fight. Countless falls Shishido took, but he soldiered on. Went through glass multiple times, no care given. Still has the stamina to wield his blade and punch despite the hand injury. The brawl was basically a room tour of Omi HQ, that s how durable he was
I rest my case.
The Heck are they Feedin Kids in Kansai bruh
@@ebbisnar8616at the moment yeah, but real fight? No way he would have won saejima and majima would have give him a hard time too, maybe a tie
@@gazover_ maybe a tie for majima , Saejima and kiryu are canonically equals so he’d beat shishido’s ass too
When Watase looked down at Shishido and the dissolution in his hand, I think there was a little bit of conflict in him. Not enough to change his mind, just respect for Shishido being so tough and fighting for the Yakuza like he would have himself once upon a time.
This. The whole time you can see there's apart of Watse that's proud to see his men fighting for their dreams. He and Daigo are dissolving the yakuza to help the men but they still respect their willingness to fight.
This final fight was just gorgeous.
Good old Yakuza final boss choregraphy and stakes. Amazing scenery. Beautiful music with multiple phases. A great dynamic intro.
And of course, amazing tattoos.
It reminded me a lot of Yakuza 5's final fight. Which is a personal favorite of mine too !
1988 til 2023 and he always make me happy n yet crying, bitter sweet of his story bro, i can't even have enough of him, truly a masterpiece
The little motion Kiryu does where he shows off Haruto's drawing like a proud dad hurts so much
One of finest performances that Kuroda-san he's ever done.
Idc what anybody says Kiryu EARNED the right to see his kids again.
We can see Ichiban can actually doing stuff outside his Jrpg style and switch into real time brawl mode. I hoped he can use it like Kiryu in Y8.
It’s just kiryu-Chan that can use that ability
@@RenegadeSpider2 soon Majima soon because he is the next dragon and he needs some new gimmick.
He fights really wack like shinada
It'd be pretty funny if in all that chaos, we see Ichi wearing his hell stew outfit.
It'd be cool if Ichiban eventually got an ability like Dragon's Resurgence later in the game like what Kiryu has, maybe call it Hero's Ascension or something to keep with the theme.
Gonna be seeing a lot of parallels between Aizawa and Shishido in the fandom I'm betting. Both of these men are beasts who go against the old guard and try to take control from them. Aizawa just shows up home to trash it and wait for Kiryu at the top all cleaned up with a fancy suit, he's very much in a position at the top to take it all but that was all given to him, the power and position he found himself in was given to him by someone else.
Shishido had to show up home all dirtied and batted up to clean up house after it was trashed for him, everything he worked for was taken away by the old guard, he had to crawl his way up to the top one last time to get a shot at Kiryu, he's in there the whole game working with you and trying to find a way to stop the pan because all the struggles he's been through and everything he's earned would have been for nothing, he earned his shot against the old guard.
The fight also plays out incredibly similarly, both of these guys have the largest health bars in the series and all progress the same, an initial class at the peak of the organization's power with the chairman's seat going into a brutal fall onto the main lobby and followed by an explosive exit towards the courtyards of their organization.
Man... This game really takes all the spotlight from the best storyline, best visuals and graphics, best ost, and most of all.. the best characters that made it memorable
It's been a wild ride from the PS2 era until now... And with his cancer in the next one.. he can finally rest and let Ichi do the rest
Thank you Ryu Ga Gotoku team for making spectacular series and thank you Takaya Kuroda for being the best Kiryu

I didn't buy into Shishido as a final boss at first, but goddang it man his theme burns and his fight might just be the best.
In 6, Kiryu fought Little Baby Iwami with Akiyama and a bunch of new guys I didn’t care for. It didn’t feel like a fitting boss fight to end to his story. But Gaiden really corrected that. The Tojo Clan’s 6th Chairman, The Tiger of the Tojo, The Mad Dog of Shimano, and The Dragon of Dojima teaming up. This boss fight was so awesome. When they all ripped off their shirts and got ready for battle, I was so hyped. This entire game was so fun. RGG Studios really make the best games.
This kinda feels like yakuza 6 part 2, I liked 6 this just adds an equal amount of liking 👍
If the Dragon Cries, we all cry.
I keep coming back to watch this video, I really loved how RGG handled this. The final battle, the music, the legends back together, the closure Kiryu gets from the kids at the Morning Glory Orphanage, etc. Everything was beautifully done.
When Kiryu cried I felt a tiger drop to the emotions and I just bawled. This game is everything that Yakuza 6 had me wanting and it's a cultivation of the entire series, itts getting harder to accept that Kiryu will be leaving soon but they've begun the end of his legacy on a high note
There was so much that really got me on the edge of my seat! The fight against Shishido was insanely hype and symbolic with epic transitions Yakuza 5 style, and how Kiryu literally GRABS the blades end of a sword without flinching shows just how he’s got nothing to lose! And then literally seeing him crying in the ending after learning about how much the Morning Glory kids had grown literally struck me in the heart that it brought ME to tears too! This one might be a big new favorite RGG game to me!
I might be overthinking this, but the final clash between Kiryu and Shishido seems to mirror the way they think. They both go for a headbutt, and Kiryu wins. Shishido stubbornly goes for another headbutt, while Kiryu switches to a punch and basically obliterates Shishido. Similar to how Shishido is stubbornly stuck in the old Yakuza way (which Kiryu was also more successful in) while Kiryu manages to adapt and think about the future.
One of the best final bosses in the series. LEGIT AIZAWA BUT BETTER!
Yeah this guy it Aizawa 2.0 but with some story behind him
The final segment of Gaiden was PEAK Yakuza. The yelling, the shirts flying off, the speeches about dreams and convictions... Watching Majima, Saejima and Daigo throwing it down side by side with Kiryu was fanservice done RIGHT.
I also thought for sure Nishitani III was going to be the final boss, but Shishido was an welcome surprise. His betrayal felt much more justified than Tendo in LAD/Y7.
17:47 This guy be able to overpower both of them really showed he is a fucking beast
Man, the talk between them reminds me of Kuze. When Kiryu mentioned that he always wants to beat someone who's stronger than him to prove himself to be the best. It means Kiryu never forget what Kuze has taught him
I'm so glad they revisited Kiryu for one final balls to the wall beat em up game. Turn based yakuza is good but it's missing that emotional adrenaline from the older games.
Play the trial the turned based has been improved by A LOT
So much emotions in this final chapter, the boss fight, the ending and the post-credit scene.
I loved it.
This game really went from a super incredible final boss fight that was hype the whole way through to me crying 20 minutes later. What a game. I'm glad Kiryu got 1 more hurrah after the admittedly not amazing ending that 6 gave him.
I don't think there's any boss in the series going complete all out like Shishido does, he truly is a cornered beast, in it's last resort.
I do feel a bit unfair for Ichiban's fight in 7, as it turn out his fight really isn't the most brutal scene of the promising day. Then again, shouldn't have expect less from the last struggle of the two biggest factions, I'm super glad this game do these wolves some justice in term of ruthlessness, instead of just a hall of people fighting back.
i like how all of this happens while ichi is asleep
@@Garland846 IKR it is pretty funny how this HYPE ASS FIGHT just happened in the middle of 7 lol
@@poptartninjaand after this he challenges ichis crew 😅
Shishido with the blade in his palm and standing below the Omi symbol on the RUFF were epic
The strings that play while Shishido and Kiryu make their final speeches is so epic.
shishido's ribcage had to be fucking powder at this point with how many sheer drops hes suffered
55:35 My man Kiryu have truly found peace
seeing Kiryu cry make my heart broken
Same 😢
The music that is played during the 1st omi fight is awesome!!! Hell all of the music in this game is amazing!!
This is one of our Top games to play in November! Happy to see it getting attention!
Damn I just finished the game and what an emotional rollercoaster it was. The final boss fight was absolutely epic. This game was brutal. I can't even complain about it being too short. The experience was worth it.Can hardly wait for Infinite wealth. Shishido is in my top 3 final boss fights. Dude's super fun to fight in professional. The katana phases, the fight starting inside HQ and ending at the very entrance. WOW this boss fight was like Ryuji Goda meets Aizawa. Haven't seen Kiryu struggle with a final boss so much since Mine. Freakin EPIC visuals. The sunlight throughout the fight felt so refreshing. I just realized every final boss had occurred during night time
37:11 is the best bit
Shishido got a fate worse than death...made an agent/slave and has to be with his "intimate" abuser Nishitani.
But can they really contain him? Considering that Kiryu easily beat the Daidoji goons and Shishido was in a very bad condition before the last fight, along with him not having children that can be take hostage, I'm not so sure
Average Yakuza fan: "Man Aizawa was a fun fight and all the symbolism of fighting throughout the headquarters of a Yakuza family as you push them further and further from their dream is great, I just wish he was an actual character with reasons to be the final boss"
Shishido: "Heard, and take this absolutely metal boss theme while you're at it"
Fucking GOAT
12 health bars
Fucking legendary boss fight. Shishido is insane
As much as I love 6 for its plot, Gaiden feel more like true ending for Kiryu saga to me.
39:00 Yoshimura snatching Shishido is a sad example of a snake biting his tail. Shishido was born a slave, he was given freedom by the Watase family only to later resist the dissolution plan, but is now enslaved by the Daidoji afterwards. From being a slave to a Japanese Yakuza organisation to being the slave of the Japanese deep state, there was no good ending for him.
In some capacity it was probably deserved for guys like Shishido and Nishitani III. They’re probably being brainwashed in some Daidoji facility right now.
@@deviljho4260 the irony here it is that he was a slave to Nishitani III a priori. Now you will tell me that it is better that the Daidoji control him than Nishitani III. I will agree. But he will feel like a caged animal in a zoo. The Daidoji are rather insidious and cruel for an intelligence agency but then again, they are more of a deep state organisation
It was said in game: if his resistance fails, he will be back to the begining
That’s what he thought would happen, but I guess he didn’t anticipate the Daidoji deciding to seize the opportunity.
I doubt daidouji can tame those two no weaknesses unlike kiryu shishido went through torture no government could hope to match and nishtani if he honors the name will never submit hell they both rather die and probably will or they bust out since no daidouji agents could possibly hold them hell they couldn’t hold kiryu without the kids
I gotta be honest, tho. If Daigo *HAD* a gun. This whole fight would've never happened. He would've eradicated everyone the moment he saw Shishido walk in. Im just saying
Idk why but i always thought kiryu is part of my family.... Seeing him cry makes me cry too😢
>Fighting Shishido on Professional Difficulty = Aizawa but far FAR more dangerous (he can flat out one shot you with ultimates at times) and you DON'T have the komaki parry.
34:43 bro mikiri countered kiryu, trully one of the greatest rgg bosses ever.
When you've played all the Yakuza games and see Kiryu crying, you automatically cry as well.
Having kiryu's final boss be the yakuza spirit given flesh, fighting for survival. What a genius move. I really hope we see shishado again.
Ryu Ga Gokudo team
"YOU F***ERS DIDN'T LIKE THE ENDING OF 6, YOU THOUGHT WE WERE LOSING OUT TOUCH.
HERE'S THE ENDING YOU WANT, WE WILL FEED ON YOUR TEARS"
Shishido to me is Aizawa done right.
Kasuga and Kiriyu's reunion is badass!
13:13 Shibusawa's Rush style attack?
Kuroda’s acting in the end is the best I’ve heard in a video game along with Nakaya’s performance at the end of 7.
Shishido is in my top 3 favourite villains after Kuze and Ryuji for how fucking badass they are
Majima wanting to talk to kiryu hurt my hearts
He cares for him and doesnt want him to leave
46:15 man this part makes me cry
I can't help but sob seeing taichi and ayako all grown up..
35:15 seems like recompose of yakuza2 final fight bgm - a scattered moment
One of the most beautiful endings I've ever seen in my entire life of playing video games. I couldn't go through that scene without my eyes swelling up.
Seing how hanawa knows the alias of kiryu in Y5 and the fact he says he got the oportunity to know him before, makes me things he´s morinaga
In 49:40 for me he is talking with us the player. those who already with him from his journey losing a family to protecting and raising his adoptive daughter, grandson and the kids in orphanage even it cost his life.
Even though yakuza is filled with aloft of memes seeing Kiryu cry because he never got a chance to spend time with his grandson and the kids in orphanage makes me sad 💔
I started weeping when he had Yumis ring bro, holy shit such a great game
Knowing the context that got removed due to mistranslation at 39:39 made Shishido fate freaking disturbing and tragic...
Loved it
So amazing and emotional.. Had tears with Kiryu too. Hit so hard, especially the way i feel these day's. Amazing ending...
I feel like this is one of the games where legend mode would be nice, and being able to play from the beginning with all unlocks.
This is an epic ending... Y8 take note
ive never cried in a game before until the final ipad section, holy moley,,,,,, that was intense
