    The best part of this fight for me is how much of it is a literal metaphor. It starts with Aisawa rising from the chairman's seat knowing that it doesn't belong to him but hoping killing Kiryu will make him feel like he earned it.
    Instead, as the fight progresses, Kiryu forces Aisawa out the room, down the hall and further and further away from both it and the dream it represents before finally being kicked out the front door and sent flying out of the building to be left beaten out in the cold.
    Kiryu quite literally dragged Aisawa out of the chairman's seat and threw him out of the Tojo clan.

    In a ploy to maintain some sort of legacy after his death, Kurosawa orchestrates an elaborate conspiracy in order to have his inherit both the Tojo and Omi Alliance. However, Aizawa, having been estranged from his father for so long, finds no value in this. It does not stop him from accepting this position, but he feels the need to prove himself as the strongest in order to feel worthy as clan leader. Kiryu Kazuma stands as the final obstacle in this path.
    But aizawa basically not knowing why tf he’s the final boss is super funny too lmao

    This whole fight was Kiryu's best moment in the entire franchise for me. Dude's half dead, past his prime, estranged from his loved ones and still manages to prove himself as the undisputed king of the Tojo clan, all whilst giving Aizawa a true lesson in humility and respect. It's just so cool to see him come this far if your first game was 0.

      Nobody talks about aizawa sexy tattoo. The black carp.
      "According to legend koi attempt to swim against the current of China’s Yellow River and up a waterfall, but only a few of them are able to swim past a point called the Dragon’s Gate. The koi who make it through the Gate are rewarded by turning into dragons. For this reason, koi carp are also a symbol of determination and a strong will to succeed, as well as strength and bravery.
      The black koi is associated with successfully overcoming an obstacle and symbol of masculinity, and in Japan represents the father. It often symbolizes a successful battle through struggle in one’s life.
      A koi swimming upstream symbolizes being in a battle or struggle, still overcoming obstacles without giving up. It also symbolizes gaining the strength needed to continue against the current."

    Despite Aizawa being the random copout final boss, at least I give him astronomically far more respect than Yakuza 6’s main villain and final boss. At least Aizawa can fight, be entertaining, and be a threat. Honestly he’s the inverse of Iwami. Where Aizawa didn’t care for his dad’s plan to give all the power to him (and fight Kiryu to believe he’s earned it), Iwami was a pampered little man child who believed he deserved it all without truly realizing what that entailed.

  • @Sky-CladObserver
    @Sky-CladObserver 2 года назад +637

    One thing that stuck out to me when I was fighting this guy was how often he would go for cheap shots to Kiryu's wounded stomach. Obviously it makes sense that he would whatever it took to win, but to me it showed a lack of confidence in his own strength. He knew deep down that he didn't stand a chance against Kiryu on even footing, so he latched onto the only advantage he had.
    Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I thought it was interesting.

      @marlongomezacevedo2170 2 года назад +96

      I'm actually led to believe otherwise, specially seeing the first QTE, in which he only goes for Kiryu's stomach twice, one being a front kick which would be rather hard to aim anywhere else except your opponent's body (and when he throws a second one, he aims it at Kiryu's chest), and another one being a headbutt, which is the only thing he could try to do in the position he was in at that moment.

    It will always be hilarious to me that this is the most random out of nowhere garbage final boss from a story perspective, but from a gameplay perspective this is the best fight RGG has ever made (in my opinion at least)
    Edit: Holy hell this blew up wtf. I've seen a lot of replies misunderstanding what I meant so I figured I should articulate my thoughts a bit better. First off, calling it "garbage" was an over exaggeration on my part, but I still maintain the sentiment that this is a pretty weak final encounter from a plot perspective. The twist that Aizawa was Kurosawa's son the whole time has little to no foreshadowing at all, and it feels completely unearned for him to suddenly be important without any buildup to it or anything. The only thing that could even qualify as a hint to it (that I remember at least, it's been a while) is the reveal the Morinaga is also Omi, but that's a stretch imo. I understand the symbolism and how the fight plays into the message of the game, I purely meant from a plot perspective only. And I still maintain that this fight is amazing in terms of gameplay. Also yes Shishido is everything Aizawa wanted to be lmao.

      This fight isn't really about aizawa it's more about kiryu's legend status in this series. The entire game he's been running away from his life as a yakuza legend only until the end of the game he accepts his legend status to test aizawa to see if he can become one too. Aizawa is pretty deep too the guy wants to carve his own path but instead was given his position by his father, he has his own dream but is forced to take on the dream of his dad but finally gets his chance to prove himself by beating kiryu.

      @@neoarmstrongcyclonejetarms6680 Aizawa for me is more interesting as a symbol. Kurosawa is someone who hate what the series is trying to say and only wants to see his power as something meaningful and Aizawa disrespect that. He wants to be at the top and beat the legends to prove himself, just like Nishiki. Aizawa is the responsibility that Kiryu don't want and already take care and will put a end. He already prove that he can face depression, he can face Nishiki, Ryuji and at the Tojo Clan Aizawa is the final point that Kiryu have to put. Is amazing, is basically a fight against all meaningful battle that we with Kiryu have and this time to protect the dream of others. This entire game has an amazing write

I remember how the main villain of the eight part got huge amount of hate because it wasn't what they expected. Senator Armstrong also appeared at the very end of MGR yet nobody said a thing. Why does Aizawa sudden reveal is such a big deal? Also weird how the out of nowhere chars gets the best fights.
