Huh, wonder where I missed that in Kiwami 1. I did every Majima mission and Komaki training, dammit!

It’s right at the start, Kiryu mentions he’s way out of practice. By the end of Majima Everywhere he states he’s surpassed his 0 self though
- 11,840
- 8,630
I thought he was referring to his 95' self.
- 6,340
- 2,003
He didn’t really do any notable fighting in 88 and Kiwami is very closely tied to 0, so it makes sense to be ‘88.
- 32,835

He didn't do a lot of fighting during 88-95 so he'd stay the same level overall.

Hey, I also started with 7, pretty good game.

Probably because the fight was likely meant to focus more on story, as opposed to Tendo busting your balls as a figurative "true final boss" to test your limits

Well at least i beat tendo in one try after the ass beating majima saejina and kiryu gave me

The Jima bros and Kiryu are built different. The Mad Dog of Shimano, The Tiger of Sasai, and the Dragon of Dojima triumph over everyone.

Same here, woo! Absolutely loved it. Then jumped to 0 and Kiwami.
Random rambling here, but uh...
My only issue is that to fully get what's going on with Kiryu for 8 I have to play The Man Who Erased His Name, and to get that game I have to play 6, and to get THAT ONE I have to play 5 and given Kiryu is a main character this time around instead of a supporting key figure it seems like a big deal.
In the end I decided screw it, just gonna leave that "narrative hole" (to put it somehow) there and take my time to play the series in order to fill the gaps on Kiryu and just play 8 to follow Ichiban. Kinda go for a "Oh! So that's why Kiryu did this or that! And that's what happened!" sort of reaction when I eventually catch up.

Or you can bite the bullet and watch longplays... Though that aint as fun + it misses a ton of substories that are going to be important in 8
- 6,340
- 2,003
I feel like 5 isn’t really that crucial to 6, the only connecting tissue is 6 starting where 5 left off but 5’s narrative beats don’t matter for 6.

@AnAverageUsername: I actually have considered it, given the many games I have left to cover, but also, like you say, it's just not the same. While watching the main plot like a series kinda works out, there's a lot of stuff that's missed out, and with 8 just a month away it's still quite a lot to binge 6 games (including Man Who Erased His Name) in this time even as if they were long movies.
@JJSliderman: Ah, didn't know that, I thought 6 was kinda like the second half of the story 5 started, my bad.

Ya'll think 8 will have anything that puts Ichiban as a top tier of the verse? Maybe some Komaki training?
- 11,840

Ive been binging the series to prepare and Yakuza 3 took me a year alone just so I can do every substory, these games get rough (God I am glad cabaret management is back so I don't have to do stupid cabaret club dating shit)
- 3,759
- 2,618
Holy frig... yeaaaah, better take my time with each game, lol. Is the cabaret club dating too bad?
- 11,840
- 8,630
It's slow, boring, and takes a lot of money if you want to complete the clubs early. There's like, 10 hostesses for Kiryu to talk to in 3, with 5 conversations needed for each of them even with perfect responses. Luckily I think hostesses are only needed for 3 to fight Amon. From 6 onwards you can fight Amon without completing every substory.

I think he’ll probably remain as an Akiyama tier or so, he feels a lot like the Luffy of the series (maybe not always the strongest, but his friends are his power).
- 11,840
- 8,630
Yeah It's kinda hard for Ichiban to get those kinds of feats now. Kiryu is getting weaker and can only draw out his true power by pushing himself to his limit, Majima always complains about getting too old each game and he along with Saejima and Daigo are out at the docks.... Unless Shishido comes back and attacks him, there aren't any top tier fighters he can scale off of. (Minus Aizawa if he comes back as a true dragon)
- 11,840
- 8,630
Aizawa became a V-tuber after seeing the wall was too high
- 6,340

Aizawa vs Ichiban sounds pretty badass actually.
The koi who fell to rock bottom vs the koi ascending from rock bottom to become dragon.

Sadly anyone from Yakuza 5 is forgotten forever (Unless you're Morinaga for some reason)

Having played 0 before 1/Kiwami and not knowing the events of the original game in advance, it stung like hell to see how Nishikiyama, the biggest bro in the world in 0, went through so much crap and turned into such a callous criminal.Nishikiyama, the koi who turned into stone

I feel like all the non-heat action stuff has some basis in reality (like the sujimon backed up by the sujidex appearing outside the battle system), but stuff like the laser is exaggerated in the animation yeah. Ichi having death hax is funny though, and there is a minor level of subjective reality in the series.

I still think this was such a clever way to explain and go crazy with the more over the top RPG stuff in the game

Has anyone ever made the connection that Tendo's battle theme, Triplet After Triplet, sounds like an NES game after the drop?
