Majima doing orchestral for his summons like V
I use reddit often for gaming news and the Yakuza community on there are so adamant that the wacky stuff Majima and the summons do in Y7 isn't real, but here we have majima summoning sharks outta water, giant apes, electric shocking people with his knifes and no Ichiban tied to his hip.

Eh, Majima was already insane beforehand. Out all of his appearances in the Yakuza games, 7 take it to the extreme plus it is confirmed that Ichiban literally has a gamer imagination in the first game he debuted in being Yakuza 7.
- 4,705
- 1,637
Also since no one brought it up, Adachi literally mentioned this as well in Yakuza 7 about Ichiban’s gamer imagination as I played Yakuza 7 myself and recall those specific dialogues.
Edit: Also there is Kiryu vs Ichiban and the gang.

The same community will then go on to say that supernatural stuff like monsters and gods exist in the setting, please stop taking redditors seriously.

Majima was summoning clones in 5, and thr others including Ichiban could see them
He's built different, there's a reason Saejima considered him the strongest
- 1,479
- 1,279
Saejima fought literal gods in 5 lmao.
- 11,602
- 8,372
Oh yeah, this would mean that Saejima in 5 would consider Majima stronger than the Y4 Kiryu he fought, yeah? And even a half-dead, out of his prime Majima was stalemating an even stronger Saejima from then.

For me, the Poundmate System animations in Yakuza 7 was over the top, but enjoyable to use. However, I won’t deny Yakuza 7 brought up Ichiban’s gamer imagination like multiple times. Hell, Kiryu vs Ichiban and gang is proof of his gamer imagination running wild.
However, any other instances outside of 7’s Poundmate System is probably legit
- 4,705
- 1,637
Maybe, but hard to say since Kiryu has some insane feats in his arsenal such as fighting dozens of Tojo Clan members while being a Ex Yakuza himself. Do you remember when he stated it though?
- 11,602
- 8,372
Yeah but Majima always states that "Oh I'm old, I'm getting older" (still kills it at 60 though). Majima also took out every Omi member that was invading in YK2 on his lonesome as well, same with him demolishing the Dojima family in 0.
It was after the news of Majima being killed was spreading iirc.
- 4,705
- 1,637
Meanwhile Kiryu face off against a Tiger. A bloody tiger and storm a Castle.
Speaks of which, the castle scene in question.
- 4,705
- 1,637
Okay, Omi member fodders getting taken out by Majima isn’t that impressive by Yakuza standards tbf. Still a nice feat all the same
- 1,479
- 1,279
Majima can fight a bear in the Y0 coliseum. He can take out those tigers.
- 11,602
- 8,372
Mutated bear that Saejima fought > tigers though
Also aren't there bears in the Y0 colloseum? I barely touched that stuff tbh.
- 4,705
- 1,637
There is this scene. Granted it is in the sea/ocean, but still yeah
- 11,602
- 8,372
I wouldn't say the Tojo in 5 is all too impressive either by that point, or any of the Yakuza in Nagasugai. Especially compared to the Dojima family at their best in 0.
- 4,705
- 1,637
Was the bear confirmed mutated though? Also speaking of Colosseum in Yakuza 0, same applies for Kiryu.
- 11,602

It's some spirit mumbo jumbo, a big ass bear that came out of the wood works one day to punish the mass hunting of bears?
Again, wacky series
- 4,705
- 1,637
Kiryu also get access to Y0 Coliseum as it ain’t exclusive to Majima as well.
It gets wild regardless

Saejima calls regular Brown Bears Teddy Bears in comparison to Yama-Oroshi.

I know, but Yakuza still has some nice serious moments I appreciate. Rip Nishiki though

Yeah I gotta ignore those upvotes for it lol.
To add on to the realy wacky stuff I'm more in flavour for it, though would you lot like to see it in titles like a supposed Judgement 3/ and other spin offs, or do you like how different the games are?

Demon Bear in Yakuza 0 been like “I not your average bear lol”
- 4,705
- 1,637
Not all games were pure wacky stuff in general tbf. I feel like the wacky stuff exist just fine with the serious stuff
- 11,602
- 8,372
For Ichiban focused stories, the wacky parts are kinda engrained into it. I'd also like to see some of that wacky stuff in a Saejima spin off, considering he's the residential weird man seeing Kappa's and fighting mountain gods.
- 1,479
- 1,279
As long as the combats good.
Demon Bear is literally just Yama-Oroshi with a different name lol. (And shitty textures.)
- 4,705
- 1,637
Also because Yakuza 0 came out after the previous Yakuza games (2015 and released on Xbox in 2020 I think).
The Yakuza games, aside from Yakuza 1 and 2 as those 2 got a remake, got the remastered treatment
- 1,479
- 1,279
I wanna see Majima fight The Kraken
- 4,705
- 1,637
Also tbf, the Yakuza series are well known for recycled assets as they have done that multiple times IIRC so it ain’t new

Reuse Ga Gotoku
- 1,479
- 1,279
Every single moveset in Kiwami 1 is reused
- 4,705
- 1,637
You should look at OG Yakuza 1 as it is outdated for sure, but seems like a fine experience nonetheless.Every single moveset in Kiwami 1 is reused
- 9,552
- 10,922
If the Majima Gaiden teasers and trailers are anything to go off of, he might end up fighting a giant shark as well.
I'm fine with the wacky stuff, but I feel like they should tone it down a bit in Ichiban's games. Love the spin-offs more than the mainline games at times, but I don't know what they could cook with Judgment or Kurohyou 3

I think the imagination stuff is probably real and 8 just made me more sure of it as some sort of subjective reality, after it canonized Sujimon designs and how Ichiban’s imagined giant squid boss left behind golden tentacles irl.
- 4,705
- 1,637
Not true when Ichiban got his ass kicked by Kiryu with the gang in Yakuza 7 plus Sujimon involves game mechanics and on top of that, the substory kinda doesn’t help so it ain’t really subjective reality shenanigans when Ichiban imagine a dragon and himself being a knight taking down the dragon after the fight with Kiryu.
Also game mechanics for Yakuza 7 and 8 does involve RPG elements so it is something to take note of.
Don’t even get me started on the final boss stage of Yakuza 7 which shown the gang banging up some Omi remnants fodder members.
Hell, we see Adachi beating up a guy upon the defeat of Ryo.
- 4,705
- 1,637
Oh yeah, I forget about the fact the game force you to use Freelancer to beat up the final boss after you beat his minions. Well, that make it actually more so of Ichiban’s imagination taking a backseat there lol
- 6,074
- 1,871
Sujimon is kind of a canon part of the world, you have to interact with the Sujimon battle minigame in 8, there’s an entire section devoted to Sujimon studies with the exact same designs and attacks Ichiban sees in game, they appear as their battle designs on Dondoko. Kiryu winning doesn’t really affect that.
It’s not just game mechanics when Ichiban gets a reward for something that was claimed to be imaginary, in a cutscene in that big swell DLC.
