I think the Kiwami version was made with the player having mastered the Dragon style in mind. There are many ways to easily damage the colonels, from Grand Slapping to simply using Calming Towel + Diving Dragon Short Sword combo, since the daggers also stagger them. My rule of thumb is that if the enemies play cheap, you may play too, no shame.
@@suhpple Even without weapons, you can still make the fight manageable on Legend, provided you played through the coliseum beforehand (since weapons and gear are void in these fights.) My only gripe is that the fight itself is a difficulty spike. I just platinum'd Yakuza 4 for the second time, and honestly this has got to be the worst game to complete (and do a Legend playthrough of) since every encounter with more than two enemies is just straight up a low-blow fest. Tanimura's fights, including the final one, are just not fun, and I almost died many times, even with the best weapons of the game... so I'd take cheap ass Jingu anytime of the day lol. (Also DDSS > Sakura Storm just because of the Mastery of Daggers, but every high attack weapon is good... even the nerfed Golden Pistol.)
Honestly Kiwami wasn’t that difficult because I tried 100% completion from the get go so by that point I had the high end equipment and full dragon style
@@Handlelesswithme Yeah, the game is very easy with a fully upgraded Dragon style. So many good Essences and I haven't even scratched the surface: I keep discovering ways to beat the shit out of some bosses, and that's why I love these games.
Honestly, grabs not working against bosses is a frustrating thing in RGG games in general. Even now, with Yagami's Snake style being based around grappling, you can't use half the skills because bosses break out of grabs instantly after the second per fight (and sometimes even before that!). It's always disappointed me that "boss immunity" just removes one button from your moveset in 90% of cases. Then again, I've grabbed Komaki in Kiwami 2 and just pummeled him from full to zero with no real skill or care. There's probably a great deal of balancing that needs to be done there lmao
8:15 The problem with this is, because Yakuza Kiwami is using 0 as a base, we're stuck with this issue as the fights are not designed with these in mind. If say, they remade it in Yakuza 5 style, we go flying instead.
Bullet proof amulette (or whatever it’s called) really helps btw, it makes you immune to the stunning effect when you get shot, it honestly makes the jingu boss fight way more easier as you just gotta be agile, smart and careful about what you do
This game, especially the ending, makes you appreciate the Rush style, which I never used in 0. I also didn't bother with the Dragon style, so I had to use Rush for practically every boss. I am convinced that some of the fights were designed by a Dark Souls player.
Same for me. In Yakuza 0 I haven't seen any reason to use the Rush style. Yes, you could dash. But the damage given to enemies is hilarious. At the same time, I enjoyed using the Beast style. But Kiwami was the opposite. Beast was unusable for me while Rush was the primary choice.
Rush and Brawler are the only mains style you gonna use, Beast and Dragon are good when you has good amount of heat, just use your heat and return to rush or brawler
I replayed Zero last year and realized how annoying the knife & bullet stagger is. IIRC, in Chapters 9 and 10 (when Kiryu and Tachibana go to Tojo HQ), I noticed that’s when they spawn tons of Yakuza enemies with knives and guns, and that made street fights so annoying at that point in the story
I beat this boss on Legend so if you're struggling with this boss I recommend 4 things. .At the start, grab one of the MIA agents in Beast mode with full heat and do the heat move where you throw an enemy into other enemies. Do this throughout if possible .Rush for evasion: You gotta be evasive and just generally aware of whenever the MIA will shoot or whenever Jingu will chuck a grenade at you .Use blade weapons: Blade weapon heat actions are just great burst damage to deal in general. It'll make the MIA agents easier. .If you haven't already, unlock the weapon shop in the DVD shop. You can buy an expensive armour with great bullet resistance and blade weapons. I hope this helps
I honestly forgot about this fight probably because every time there is a bossfight where the ACTUAL BOSS is lame while his guards are the true challenge it makes me so pissed that I erase that fight out of my memory. The amount of times I had to retry that fight because Kiryu was just getting his ass shot and kept on falling down made me lose my mind. It never annoys me to retry normal boss fights. But having to retry over and over again the entire hoards of stupid thugs is something else.
The precise reason why I absolutely DESPISE the final boss of Yakuza 4. At least with Jingu, you could abuse the shit out of tiger drop, but you really just had to raw dog Y4’s final boss.
@@mistersir2992 I personally ran in circles and that made it less annoying then jingu but just very very boring. But it really is bothering me how they made Tanimuras signature move useless in his final fight. I was always too stunlocked near enemies to even use his special dodge. And even if you DO use it, you will just get stunlocked again by some other thug.
@@ZeppeliGamingreally? I had the most fun with that fight. Got the sacred tree armour and I was just building dat heat then going doing the list of his heat actions
@bipstymcbipste5641 Well I never use any armor that isn't basic because I don't like having that comfort. I rate how enjoyable the game is by how actually difficult the combat is when using basic armor and no weapons. If combat is difficult but in a way that actually feels fair I will enjoy it but attacks that will either stunlock you to infinity or hoards of thugs are just annoying. Let's not even talk about one shotting combos that you can't stop once it starts lol
I had to do this fight with a barely upgraded dragon style which basically rendered it useless meaning the fight was absolute hell I nearly dropped the game entirely because of this fight
Honestly I just ran around the helipad (with low health) and let my heat build up and cheesed heat actions against the two ninjas lol... Its so weird how the minions are harder to beat than jingu and nishiki
I've mastered every style and my inventory was full of Staminan Royales. Beat him in 10 minutes on my first try. But grinding Majima is a real pain in the ass.
He really annoyed me tbh Actually Jingu himself is not that hard compared to MIA colones,especially when I use heat action or kiwami his health bar decreased quickly BUT MAN THOSE TWO COLONES-?! THEY WERE SO ANNOYING I couldn't beat them w/o Tiger Drop,thanks Tiger Drop
Lets not forget saejima prison section in yakuza 4 please, that shit almost got me breaking down, only to fucking hit you with kiryu bossfight after that hell. You had to manage your very limited health items + you had to use your very limited upgrade points. That shit on hard was merciless. Oh also fuck saito the security guard
@@jettsett9354I like to say separate annoying from difficult. One takes skill to complete and the other needs you to understand the game's bs so you can avoid it
My first time getting to this part it was 11:50 pm and I was gunning for the Nishki fight, fight the guards was a pain and a half I was tired as hell when I finally beat the second guard I was so relieved and was about to whoop Jingu’s ass when the cutscene rolled around…. Those bastards revived themselves, I turned the game off and went to bed after that
Be sure to get gear that will at least offer more resistance against bullets such as the Bulletproof Glass Amulet or the Dragon Mail from the Completion Awards, as they will allow Kiryu to immediately get back up after being shot. It’s better than having to mash X repeatedly to get back up every time you get shot. Blade resistance gear is also recommended once the Colonels switch to their knives.
The Kiwami defenders are laughable. Because they clearly never bothered with the Restored mods of Yakuza 1 & 2, but ultimately that's kinda on RGG Studios.
My first run through kiwami I remember this fight being mildly annoying but not ridiculous... Until I then played it on legend difficulty, in which case I became aware these games aren't the best if all you want to do is b-line the story. they're absolutely made with going out of your way to do side content in mind. That realization alone make subsequent runs on legend in other games so much better
I seriously hate that the colonels are given guns for their first phase in kiwami. I assume maybe they did this to match the cutscene before or whatever, but man
Good video man! This breakdown between the two Jingus is awesome, and the original was definitely a much easier fight. I beat the original months ago, and I was surprised how easy that Jingu was. I wish Kiwami 1 didn't have the dramatic staggering animations for Kiryu. I can live with it in Zero since he's younger, but man it gets annoying in Kiwami. But hey, atleast Jingu got a unique boss theme in the remake. I'm looking forward to more of your uploads!
I remember struggling with this fight because i thought his guards would stay down and it would give me enough time to head straight for jingu, it pissed me off so much i had to resort to using guns and just keep running around and shoot at him
When they first revived, i had to pause and take a break for like an hour. I was so pissed i was considering just not finishing the rest of the game, and just watch it on RUclips
Idk, afaik I just tiger dropped everything including bullets as soon as tiger drop gas become available, so it was fairly easy. Thankfully, the frames for it are extremely generous in Kiwami.
RGG removing throws from boss fights is way too common imo. There’s a logic to pretty much every Yakuza fight that gets broken when you remove throws and I hate it. 1. You start a battle with strikes. If it works, keep yourself positive and keep striking. 2. If enemies are blocking excessively, stop striking switch to a throw / on the ground play style. 3. If the opponent is aggressive, block until their attack string is done, and retaliate with a dodge around them. You can also throw them to regain your composure. If you’re really talented, try to strike their back. Without throws you can’t really restablish yourself in the fight. RGG also tends to give bosses super armor on both attacks and standing still so you can’t even punish anything. It really sucks when they just remove throws lol
@@Memer_12377 I did not know how bad it would be on my first playthrough but ye it ain't bout difficulty just that its extremely annoying and feels more like am endurance test than a boss fight
I grinded Majima Everywhere until I fully upgraded the other styles, stocked up on Stamina Royales, Toughness Emperors, and Taunier ++, and Jingu took almost all of my healing items to beat. I hate this boss fight 😂
i've got an anwser to that question instead of rushing for the 2 mia's after you defeat ONE of them rush for jingu and leave him at 1% health since thats the lowest you can get him in the first phase after that, you gotta kill the mia after they get up, kill jingu with litteraly one punch and kill the mia's i was doing that shit on legend, and it saved me so much time *you need alot of stamina royale's though*
I have no idea how i fluked this boss , but i was playing on normal mode and i struggled with Majima encounters and most boss fights (except Nishki ) .
This fight was hell for me I stopped playing the game for like a few months then loaded it back up. Only to find my self getting gangbanged by a bunch of pistol welding Yakuza. I finally defeated him on the fifth try using the rush style with tasers, a sword and a bat. The hardest was on the fourth try he was one hit away then he decided to run away and lob a grenade from the front to the back of him. I was angry how the hell he can lob grenades without even looking at you, the shit was heatseeking Anyways it's a good game 9/10.
This was my second Yakuza game after 0, and I didn't bother finishing Komaki's training, solely because in Yakuza 0 you couldn't New Game +, and I had no idea what Tiger Drop was. So I ended up beating the entire game on hard with no tiger drop and a MOSTLY finished dragon style otherwise.....which I barely used in favor of brawler or some shit. I made that WAY more unnecessarily hard than it was. Still did it though! Fuck Jingu!
I've just played yakuza 1 after yakuza 0 and hell that game was so bad to play after 0 i didn't enjoy any bosses but story is great, I can't wait to play yakuza kiwami 2, but i need some time after this fights.
I had a significantly easier time on this fight in Kiwami than most because one, I chose normal difficulty because I don't like getting stuck and two, I unlocked the infinite durability bat that you get from fighting Majima. The bat gives you omnidirectional instant guarding against normal attacks and does crazy damage against enemies.
Idk i beat it second try just by spamming Rush quintuple quickstep, then rush combo, Repeat. After i beat the MIA guards, I just spammed Tiger Drop on Jingu
It's a shame on the more difficult settings, staying in beast mode is useless because of enemy aggression. I tried the game with the rage ring and charismatic autobiography equipped to max rage: i only used beast mode to do heat actions or do that dragon style extreme mode thing. Enemies give you no time to move in beast style. :(
i felt like I was the only one who didn't struggle against Jingu. On my first play through, and when replaying the game, I just never found him difficult. One thing when I see people do when they complain about Jingu, and his boyfriends is they never use Tiger drop against the colonels, which only takes about 2-3 drops to drop one of them. But Imo these guys weren't very hard. The Only Hard things in Kiwami, were learning to play mahong, and Freaking Jo Amon.
Jingu first, then Munakata. Pretty much, Jingu should’ve been last boss. Yakuza 7’s Jingu is Horinouchi, and Nishikiyama is just Masato Arakawa by lore, and Ichiban Kasuga by personality.
What really pisses me off about Kiwami is amount of enemies and their weapons. Every skill I've upgraded and trained seems useless when it comes even to street fights. You are just always stunned and the only option to win the fight is to dodge with the rush, fill the heat meter, and then knock them down with a heat action from brawler or dragon styles. And when it comes to weapons. Man, I could manage dealing with knife guys (except razor guy from coliseum) but when there are several handguns it just doesn't give me any chance. It is just impossible to watch for a handgun man when he is offscreen.
The fight wasn't that bad. Just frustrating until I got my footing. Unfortunately his two captains I did have to Tiger drop when they charged at me. Because I just sorta wanted to get to the final boss lol Also. I beat Jingu with a throw? So you should be able to, though I bounced him off of railing first? So maybe that's why.
ps2 yakuza 1 is weirdly much easier than kiwami ive noticed. try the first shimano boss fight in the ps1 game and then do it in kiwami the difference in difficulty and length is night and day

Because everything needs to be hard for no reason
I almost lost my stability against jingu

This was my second Yakuza game after 0, and I didn't bother finishing Komaki's training, solely because in Yakuza 0 you couldn't New Game +, and I had no idea what Tiger Drop was. So I ended up beating the entire game on hard with no tiger drop and a MOSTLY finished dragon style otherwise.....which I barely used in favor of brawler or some shit. I made that WAY more unnecessarily hard than it was. Still did it though! Fuck Jingu!
Tiger drop
I've just played yakuza 1 after yakuza 0 and hell that game was so bad to play after 0 i didn't enjoy any bosses but story is great, I can't wait to play yakuza kiwami 2, but i need some time after this fights.
He the reason im not doing legend difficulty that and the gun men section
I had a significantly easier time on this fight in Kiwami than most because one, I chose normal difficulty because I don't like getting stuck and two, I unlocked the infinite durability bat that you get from fighting Majima. The bat gives you omnidirectional instant guarding against normal attacks and does crazy damage against enemies.
Idk i beat it second try just by spamming Rush quintuple quickstep, then rush combo, Repeat. After i beat the MIA guards, I just spammed Tiger Drop on Jingu
Got beat so bad had to play easy mode 😭😭
its simple they fguy who made the final tanimura boss fight for y4 designed the kiwami jingy fight
In dark souls terms, this is called getting ganked, ganked means getting overwhelmed by a group of people, not having a chance to attack at all.
It's a shame on the more difficult settings, staying in beast mode is useless because of enemy aggression.
I tried the game with the rage ring and charismatic autobiography equipped to max rage: i only used beast mode to do heat actions or do that dragon style extreme mode thing. Enemies give you no time to move in beast style. :(
Jingu boss fight was the most miserable i've ever felt playing a game, i mashed X more than I did anything in the fight lol
you know tiger drop exists and like the enemies drop the guns I found it really easy but kinda annoying
Suprisingly that one gun assasin was way more annoying than this fight this is coming from someone that’s platnumed the game
i used rush and it was INCREDIBLY easy 😭
I found him easier the second time I played. Who I really despise though is Saito from Yakuza 4.
i felt like I was the only one who didn't struggle against Jingu. On my first play through, and when replaying the game, I just never found him difficult. One thing when I see people do when they complain about Jingu, and his boyfriends is they never use Tiger drop against the colonels, which only takes about 2-3 drops to drop one of them. But Imo these guys weren't very hard. The Only Hard things in Kiwami, were learning to play mahong, and Freaking Jo Amon.
Jingu first, then Munakata. Pretty much, Jingu should’ve been last boss.
Yakuza 7’s Jingu is Horinouchi, and Nishikiyama is just Masato Arakawa by lore, and Ichiban Kasuga by personality.
This and the last boss of 4 are my 2 most hated fights in the series
What really pisses me off about Kiwami is amount of enemies and their weapons. Every skill I've upgraded and trained seems useless when it comes even to street fights. You are just always stunned and the only option to win the fight is to dodge with the rush, fill the heat meter, and then knock them down with a heat action from brawler or dragon styles.
And when it comes to weapons. Man, I could manage dealing with knife guys (except razor guy from coliseum) but when there are several handguns it just doesn't give me any chance. It is just impossible to watch for a handgun man when he is offscreen.
man in black in kiwami 2 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy harder
The fight wasn't that bad. Just frustrating until I got my footing. Unfortunately his two captains I did have to Tiger drop when they charged at me. Because I just sorta wanted to get to the final boss lol
Also. I beat Jingu with a throw? So you should be able to, though I bounced him off of railing first? So maybe that's why.
Is this in legend mode? Because jingu was slightly annoying but not so much in normal mode
I out heal these guys so hard man
If you go jnto this boss with the champions ring then i can say you can recreate the yakuza 1 ps2 version easily
ps2 yakuza 1 is weirdly much easier than kiwami ive noticed. try the first shimano boss fight in the ps1 game and then do it in kiwami the difference in difficulty and length is night and day
lol I actually found it easier than the Nishiki fight
For me, its simple. If they bring guns, bring your own guns then. Just saying!
is it hard in the high difficulty or hard in general? bc i didnt struggle with it
When I fought him I think they nerfed him
Not the Bibideba Kiryu
I think the final boss In Yakuza 5 was difficult
