for a whole life kiryu cried only couple of times, in games at least, but damn, that one was tough, like all of his hidden emotions were right there in that last scene
I had just finished this last night and when I saw that ending I *knew* it was going to get Cohh. It ripped my heart out, I'm easily emotional especially when it comes to others emotions (even if its just a piece of fiction) and I was crying so hard. I had to pause and clean my glasses because they fogged up so much. I needed the cry though because it ripped out a lot of stuff I think I had let build up recently. It was so powerful. The use of first person through Kiryu as the tears flowed, man. I feel like a lot of us can relate to. Your emotions well up as you're peering down at something and you see that first drop hit and suddenly its like a waterfall. Hands shaking. Life can be a really scary, uncertain place, especially right now, and if you've had one of those moments recently and are reading this comment I give a huge hug to you. ❤ You'll be okay. Hang in there and don't give up.
The fact that this is probably one of the best performances in gaming doesn't mean your first thought should be "oh boy more fuel to shit on the English stuff"
Second time watching this, still cried as much as Kiryu did, snot and everything. Nothing breaks my heart more than a good person, who have been sacrificing for literal decades finally breaking down, and releasing some of the pain that he ave been bottling up all this time.
Jesus Christ I didn't expect to ugly cry during that whole scene, I guess just like with kiryu everything came crashing. You remember all the games, all the time, everything you've been through with this guy and him reacting like this promptly breaks you too.
31:47 what Gaiden did is freeing Kiryu from his... 'burdens' (Probably there's a better word than this.). 1. He realizes that the children didn't need him anymore and it was he himself who cling on too hard for his own good, the kids are going to be just FINE and it's best for both side of them for him to step out of the bitter situation. 2. Yakuza is no more, he's no longer that poor 4th chairman who has to rescue the day once again, he's free from his duty. 3. Passing the torch to Ichiban, I guess. 4. Post credit, he could be finally letting go his past, finally after all these years. He can totally accept his situation (Which seems rather quite promising excluding unable to go back to the kids) and finally do his own stuff now. Kiryu Kazama is (sorta) free now. With that, he kinda finish his era and purpose, unless they manage to write something impressive, I doubt Kiryu getting any sequel anymore. Now... Let's see what 8 has to offer for Kiryu,
That ending destroyed me. i just completed the game and i was balling my eyes out to that ending when he sees the video. everything hes been through for those kids and then seeing them like that... damn that hit so hard.
Flesh vs. steel. 🔪💪(4:20, 10:30) 14:44 Came back just for the ending. 🕴 19:00 Due to the dead. 🪦👩👨(24:45) 28:15 Packed up and ready to go. 🛄🏝✝(32:32) I can't wait to see Cohh experience Infinite Wealth. And I'm actually satisfied for how they explained why Kiryu is still around. ♾
*Spoiler warning* . . . . . . . . . . Hanawa is more or less confirmed to be Morinaga from Yakuza 5. They have the same Voice Actor for the Japanese voice and he is also one of the few people who -had a reason to erase his identity -knows Kiryu as Taichi Suzuki -died *off screen* so not actually dead Will be fun to see where the next game takes his story as it's also confirmed that he will be in "Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth"
My guess is Infinite Wealth will both be about Ichiban finding his mother and Kiryu obtaining freedom. Hanawa will be on Kiryu's side and I feel that Yoshimura (black coat Daidoji guy) will be a huge villain and we will probably see Shishido and Nishitani as villains as well, but maybe they'll even help Kiryu in the end just to spite that fucker Yoshimura lol
@@ZephhiI doubt Daidoji will have a big role in 8, from what we saw already they don't seem to play large role in Infinite Wealth, also considering the fact that Kiryu is pretty much going to die in 8. If anything i'm expecting Daidoji to be a villain organization in Judgment 3.
Hanawa did meet Kiryu before when he was Taichi Suzuki. Hanawa is Morinaga from Yakuza 5. They have the same voice actor, not to mention Morinaga had an off-screen death and was one of the few people that knew Kiryu's identity back then.
Nishiki and Ichiban also shares the same va, so that's irrelevant. But it could be Morinaga. Or he could be just some random new character, which sounds more likely tbh.
@@morganf.1562 Two diff characters having the same va doesn't make Hanawa being Morinaga irrelevant. Yes, Nishiki and Ichiban are different people, but you can't say the same about two characters we haven't had that confirmation for (unless there was and I haven't seen it). Nothing to say he didn't have some kind of face surgery.
Kiryu sees that for all the hell he went through....his kids are ok, and he only has a few people he can try to share it with, for someone so reserved he is desperate for have one moment he can share how proud he is of his children. I was particuarly proud of Taichi, in Yakuza 5 he wrote to Haruka saying he wanted to step up and take care of the others as he was the eldest boy there, since Ayako was probably the one doing most of the legwork being the only other elder there, now he is stepping up to take care of anyone he help as a firefighter, he inherited that aspect from Kiryu and it shows how proud he is. As for that person, Hanawa? Well, who he could be? Well.... It's potentially someone whose death was not confirmed in Yakuza 5, look at their voice actors.
I don't think I agree that you can play Infinite Wealth with just playing 7. That's a really bad idea cause the game is going to be about Kiryu along with all the stuff set up in this game
Thanks for playing this. This was the only playthrough I could find that wasn't a ten hour megavideo. I'll be looking forward to you going through Infinite Wealth.
NGL I had to hold back the tears on that part but one got out. It's been a 3 years since Kiryu left which means Haruto is now 7 years old and Haruka is about 26, we first meet her in YK1 when she was 9 I believe. It's been a whiled ride 🥲
I am..... thankful I was watching this in the comfort of my own home, unlike when I watched that ghost side quest in Like a Dragon. Holy Mother duck that hit on every emotion in the spectrum, but...... so good (itchy)👏👏
Omg I cried so much. Kiryu is known for being more stoic and keeping everything bottled up but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love as much if not even more than others. 😢 I can’t wait to see more of his journey in the next game! Ichiban is such a great character that I feel really good about the games passing the torch while not forgetting the amazing journey of Kiryu.
Dude must have put like no upgrades into his Health, seeing how much damage he's taking. This boss did barely any damage to me with maxed health(after the Coliseum).
17:55 LaD is a fantastic game, although I believe that Infinite Wealth is going to possibly be one of the greatest gaming experiences of all time, both with the glimpses of gameplay we got and the way they set up Kiryu and Ichiban going forward
16:45 So after this, I went to watch 7. This part is totally out of context? Like, how did he know Mirror Face and stuff? Gaiden could have written this part better. Also, there wasn't a lot of sub stories in this?
i dunno what it was with the last boss but for me some of his moves would just one shot me on prof. watching cohh here, he hardly hurt him at all, yet i was wearing much better gear. not sure whats going on there.
Like bro I respect it and all but why the hell would you want to listen to Yakuza in English when most the series isn't dubbed... and Infinite Wealth has YongYea so yea lmfao
Saddly i think saddly ending we get be "happy" is be kiryu once and for all on his death bed getting to see the kids one more time. I agree when i getting end of this game I sat there like I want kiryu have a good ending, and not melcholy ending again. Then bam hit with sad ending.
Well personally I think the English dub for some of the characters fit like ichiban but ya I agree on kiryu I feel like an English dub on him is impossible.
Yea going from deep grovel voice of japanese kiryu to average bussiness man english is like. This does not fit. Ichiban en/jp feel fitting for him. Kiryu not at all.
Imagine playing any game with a dub, period. There is ONE thing in one game I switch to English for, and that's a single boss in Sekiro who is meh in Japanese and a legendary meme in English. There is also one thing, not a game, that was originally in French but I prefer the Italian version(s). And so did the man who made it. The French just feels OFF. Italian extended + put the good bits back in is the way to go.
the saddest part is that in Haruto's drawing is says "grandpa"
for a whole life kiryu cried only couple of times, in games at least, but damn, that one was tough, like all of his hidden emotions were right there in that last scene
I just.... just want him to be happy. But... damn it looks like he's getting cancer in the 8th trailer.
the closest he was to crying prior to this was when tachibana died
@@ShitOwl And Rikiya.
he did cry during tachibana @@ShitOwl
He'll survive though @@알고나말해뭐야

I just finished it and I am here for the same reasons
Kuroda best performance in a game award? He was amazing. When the English dub comes out, if they can't pull off that end scene than just don't bother.
Hearing the infinte wealth demo english voices wont feel as impactful
The fact that this is probably one of the best performances in gaming doesn't mean your first thought should be "oh boy more fuel to shit on the English stuff"
@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN their job is to match the performance
expecting yong no to perform that emotional scene
oh no no no~
@@Vendrix86I had the same thought😂 hearing yong voice in one of the most emotional beautiful scene like this will ruin it

Now... Let's see what 8 has to offer for Kiryu,
Cancer
In Infinite Wealth he will obtain his freedom completely and be able to reunite with his family peacefully. It's gonna be amazing
Well we know cancer is one of them

That "so long" to player and no more Kazuma Kiryu after this what a good ending and what as a fans Kazuma Kiryu want to see how he end it
yeah, I am getting this game, gonna have to find the others too

@@Zatherothx Yeah, people can choose to play dub, we can simply choose to not watch them.
The Judgment/7/Lost J dubs are quite good tbf. It's just Gaiden and 8 that have the cursed ENG Kiryu voice.

Well personally I think the English dub for some of the characters fit like ichiban but ya I agree on kiryu I feel like an English dub on him is impossible.
never play Yakuza in English wtf
