This whole series has got me thinking. Kiryu's greatest, most persistent enemy in the entire franchise has been his own damn clan that he's a leader of.
And Majima saw all of it unfold without doing much lol. He still is a part of the clan that had made him lose an eye, as well as the girl he loved. But hey. At least he has it better than Kiryu somewhat.
Honestly this is the only place where The Mad Dog of Shimano was ever 'Mad', the rest of the time it's an act. Can't be abused by your higher ups if you're the insane one.
Imagine how terrfiying it would be to be one of these Dojima guys just hearing Majima saying this crazy sounding shit then starts breakdancing and killing everyone in the process
i mean, i'd be petrified if some guy took out a dozen of my coworkers before using one of my friends as a tool to open a door to beat more of us up... I just imagine the fighting and shouting getting louder and louder as this monster breaks through every defense we've set up at our HQ!
I fucking loved this section of 0. We said goodbye to the Cabaret Grand "customer is king" Goro Majima and had our first taste of The Mad Dog of Shimano. I didn't play Yakuza at all before 0, hell, I haven't even heard about it until 0 came out. I got to experience this game with a fresh set of eyes; seeing Majima just deteriorate into a crazed fiend was magical. I truly grew to love him in the 3 games I played, especially with the Goro saga in Kiwami 2 - that was the icing on the cake.
I used Mad Dog for the long battle and then for the 1v1s with Awano and Lao Gui I used thug as it was more assassin/snake-like compatible to Lao Gui's style
@@happygardevoir I wish I unlocked the legend styles before reaching this part. I just didn't feel like doing all the business minigames at the time. Lol i regret it after witnessing the awesomeness of the mad dog
Many people have said before that if you didn't get the secret styles from the side business, this is where you would unlock Mad Dog of Shimano, Majima letting out all of his rage and going absolutely apeshit!
I do believe many of these guys died as a result of Majima snapping, at this point i doubt he cared who lived or died in that building as long as Makoto was avenged
Kinda, but the real reason ppl buy this game, bc we might be able to get to see Majima’s past stories before meeting kiryu, and how he earned the Mad Dog of Shimano
I think it would've been more logical if Majima had learned his Mad Dog fighting style here or on the Sebastian Building instead of getting it through an optional side game
I don’t know, I feel like that’s too easy. you could literally play the game in easy, unlocking their styles with little to no effort. I’m sure they wanted players to work for the styles instead of just doing the story. (awarding the people who truly care enough to play their substories.)
Sora Gasai honestly. if I had to choose, I think Majima’s is the easiest to complete. just look up coordinated sets for platinum hostesses and you’re basically set. it took me like 8 hours in total, trust me.
yakuza 0: this man, broken by rage, is storming a yakuza clan to end every single one of them also yakuza 0: man break dances while kicking people and causing money to fly everywhere
The combat, the music, the whole reason of the fight... This is literally the only time I wished that a fight never ends, no game ever made me feel like that
If you were in Majima's steel tipped shoes you would understand just how infuriating and frustrating it is to be treated like a literal tool of disposing people, whether it be a tough old man or a helpless blind girl.
This fight was incredible. Majima his anger building up from the beginning of the game only to see him literally flip the switch and receive the mad dog of shimano name.
I like to imagine that from the last fight he had with Dojima’s boys on that rooftop he lost his shit because Makoto got downed so now he’s past the line of sanity
I feel like kiryu and majima fought in zero I feel like majima would win by a long shot, mainly because kiryu is just starting in the yakuza, majima has more experience and not to mention, he defeated kashiwag someone kiryu can’t beat most likely
Japanese voice actors are tough as shit. They can voice 4 manly screaming characters and still have time to voice a calmer character during the afternoon. No other voice actor can do that, consistently and constantly
@@EthanBradburyVlogs Theres a good difference between bad actors and good actors. I never said *all* Japanese actors are good, mostly those already in the industry
mhm - so many gameplay sequences online, not just in Yakuza, are the most boring 'no damage, spamming one move that can't be countered' malarkey... this video, however, is fun!
Been through 0 and Kiwami now, and it was frankly shocking to see how much Majima had changed between the games. But I will always remember what a gigachad he was, storming a whole clan for one girl. My respect to you, Mad Dog.
In the span of a week, Kiryu and Majima both attacked Dojima HQ singlehandedly. I think the Family learned a lesson after the Empty Lot issue: do whatever it takes to keep Kiryu and Majima happy. They couldn't afford to take another attack by either man anymore.
Me during all the video : "No time to loooooose ! So I'll find my paaaaaath ! I would fight for my belief. I would temper your grief. I would defend my precious. I would reach to the tooooop !"
This might be Majima's most intimidating moment, mainly because it wasn't an act. He wasn't trying to look like a mad dog. He was legitimately pissed and out for blood.
The mad dog comes out for the first time. But am I only one that took the ending as, that Majima chose to become the mad dog, and that this sort of reveals its a mask he leans into for the rest of life to deal with the loss he felt when he tried to be normal.
Oh no, you see Majima was actually just giving that man some emergency chiropractic work to mend a severe spinal condition he sensed mid fight. And the man was so relieved that he was finally healthy again he passed out of pure joy
I think majima is on kiryu’s/sajema’s level here, you never fight the mad dog off it’s leash, majima isn’t uncontrollably screaming about how a Deluge of blood will rain upon kiryu like he is here as the feral mad dog
The combat theme in this fight is one of the best in the game hands-down. Yakuza as a series has awesome fight music, but this theme in particular is perfect.
Same! As soon as I noticed I was near the end I grinded the business minigames for both Kiryu and Majima just to unlock their secret fighting styles and using them in their final battles.
One of the many things that zero manages to get right is the age of the characters, they don't exactly look the same as they do at age 30 or so, but instead resemble them more or less.
i love how you can literally throw someone of a building in this game and the story will be like "actually, no one was killed in this whole story!!! who could have guessed that :)))"
I had to redo the game after these scene as it felt wrong to have already used the Mad Dog style before this fight 😂😂 Totally worth the replay of the hostess club.
mhm - whenever I feel down, I pop on some scenes from Asura's Wrath... someone using their anger to fight back against oppression and protect those close to them? it inspires something deep within me to get the fuck up!
I don’t know if these guys are brave, or stupid, or both, I would NOT be wanting to stand in the way of an eye-patch guy so brimming with god’s rage that his other eye looks to almost pop out
Man i wish they did the style change like they did in kiwami 1, it's so awkward having to pause and swap to the legend styles when i instinctively know it's supposed to be dpad down

Same! As soon as I noticed I was near the end I grinded the business minigames for both Kiryu and Majima just to unlock their secret fighting styles and using them in their final battles.
Just like with Kuze's boss fight, it's time for me to grind Majima's cabaret so I can get Mad Dog just before this fight.
