36:22 If you look closely, you'll see that the brave waiter actually jumped in front of Kiryu to shield him from the evil receptionist's gunfire. So while his death is real and noble, it's not on Kiryu's hands. R.I.P. Nameless Waiter

Honestly I probably should have expected that Nyarly would be one of many JRPG fans to to dip their toes into Yakuza, though starting at the PS2 game is definitely a new one
@@Fizz-Q true, though I just load the patched iso on my modded PS Vita. Never liked using emulators on PC or phones and the Vita has such nice controls. On a similar note, I'm really looking forward for the translation for the first Kurohyou coming later this year. I know there already is one but this new one is by teamk4l who did Kurohyou 2's patch, so it's definitely gonna be much better.
33:06 The number of times Haruka has been kidnapped so far merit a quote from Far Cry 3: "He did the same joke... about three times already. I don't think it's funny anymore."
You absolute legend. I've been arguing that people at least try or start here and then play in release order for years and never will stop. Even if you find a fandub translation of the first game and do that, then look up the dub on youtube. It doesn't even matter to me, but the automatic assumption that this game is outright unplayable is laughable.
I'm surprised in his first fight Shimano actually grabbed you. PS2 Shimano is usually such a pathetically easy boss I actually wondered if the devs forgot to code any sort of moves on him.
28:12 Fun tidbit about this fight for anyone who wants to make fights where you have someone fighting with you cake: Date can aggro Shota, but he can't land the finishing blow, Kazuma has to.
This challenge would be one thing in Kiwami, but here man you’d have to be a masochist to try that with the Japanese equivalent of first game syndrome Still it was quite entertaining to watch, least you got to fight the easy jingu
That would be impossible since majima can force you to fight him at certain points whether through ambushes or just entering someplace randomly and while you can avoid these by losing on purpose the street fights can’t be avoided You are pretty much guaranteed to get at least one dragon style upgrade because of majima
I (partially) accidentally did this when playing PS2 I did not realize unlocking moves was a thing in this version so I was only using the basic combo for the entire game.
Please more Yakzua Runs. This was a very entertaining video, I like your challenge runs. And Yakuza is a game series I unfortunately missed so it would be very nice to see more of the original games.
Wow, I’m impressed you chose to showcase the original with the English dub for this challenge, it’s been so long I forgot it even had one. I like the cussing, ain’t nothing wrong with a colorful translation.
I love og yakuza 1. My favourite line of the dub is yuya early on where in the original he says "you couldnt be any more yakuza if you tried" but in the dub... Youll have to play it to find out
You definitely won't be disappointed. I started playing Yakuza last year. I've played them all from Yakuza 0 to Yakuza like a dragon. Its definitely worth it. Never played any Yakuza game before that. It's really fun
The only two times I’ve cried during the Kiryu saga were when Shintaro died in *this version* of the game and the end of Y5, I’m looking forward to future Yakuza challenges.
"this game has a lot of swearing in it, which is refreshing because no games do it today. Anyways I'm going to censor every single one or the media overlords will seize my finances" Well I guess that answers the why, then!
Ah yes, old school Yakuza. Good times. It's weird to think about how much the series has blown up since then 😁 One thing I remembered from the English dub was Eliza Dushku being the voice of Yumi because I was a fan of her stuff at the time. Had no idea about Mark Hamill being Majima which awesome 👍
wow the dub version of Yakuza 1. Its nice to see someone showcase this one since people tend to ignore it. I thought the voice acting was good for the most part with Mark Hamill being really good. This challenge not only seems tough but would also make the game kind of become dull since your stuck with a very limited and repetitive move set through this whole game.
5:10 Btw is it just me, or is it kinda badass that Majima is voiced by the same guy who voices the Joker, and especially in that base ball scene when Majima kidnaps Haruka you can fully hear it. Just kinda fitting, lmao
I'm definitely down for more Yakuza, it's a series I missed out on when it got started and I'm now a devout follower of. Least amount of heat moves to beat Y2 maybe? ;)
This is really cool I never saw the og yakuza game and I can see their is more reason than nostalgia that you choose this game as I played the remakes and were not easy for me like the prisoner for example
i had to go thru the same struggle with gary buster because in battle review mode you need to beat him without upgrades, and for an S rank you need to have more than half your healthbar lol, also bosses like hayashi and shindo would've been much easier if you used grabs, even without upgrades

*you think you're better than me?*
Bring that shit Kazuma
Were you someone's prison bitch?
Thats pretty fast for homicide too

TEN YEARS IN THE JOINT MADE YOU A CHALLENGE RUclipsR
thank you for 53 minutes and 05 seconds in the joint bro
Thanks for the shout, buddy! Great job on putting all this together

I will touch you if you use that emoji again
Never thought Nyarly would make a Yakuza video but I’m down for this! Coming from a Yakuza fan
Honestly I probably should have expected that Nyarly would be one of many JRPG fans to to dip their toes into Yakuza, though starting at the PS2 game is definitely a new one

"He did the same joke... about three times already. I don't think it's funny anymore."
The ps2 version now has an undub that’s fully translated. That being said I love the dub its hilarious but it’s good to have both options
Real Yakuza play Yakuza (2005) for the Sony PlayStation 2
You absolute legend. I've been arguing that people at least try or start here and then play in release order for years and never will stop. Even if you find a fandub translation of the first game and do that, then look up the dub on youtube.

Ngl Majima sounds like the Joker in his official english dub
Same voice actor
Okay, now beat Amon with no upgrades.
3:35 That guy is the yakuza legend
I'm surprised in his first fight Shimano actually grabbed you. PS2 Shimano is usually such a pathetically easy boss I actually wondered if the devs forgot to code any sort of moves on him.
And somehow I thought he was force loss boss in Kiwami

Ok but what if Yakuza Kiwami Dragon style only no upgrades?
That would be impossible since majima can force you to fight him at certain points whether through ambushes or just entering someplace randomly and while you can avoid these by losing on purpose the street fights can’t be avoided
You are pretty much guaranteed to get at least one dragon style upgrade because of majima
@@korhol2065 you can still do it if you forbid the use of the dragon style and if you don't count the obligatory Komaki upgrade
@@ovensmuggler5207 Impossible as you will be forced to get 1 dragon abillity from komaki, not to mention avoiding Majima would be a pain
Kiwami would actually be harder thanks to the majima everywhere system.
Dante Touchdown xD That got a laugh outta me.
I (partially) accidentally did this when playing PS2
I did not realize unlocking moves was a thing in this version so I was only using the basic combo for the entire game.
real men rely on square square triangle, props to you
This is what happens when you don’t bring that shit, Kazama.
Maaaan, i love Mark Hamill so much. You pay that man for voice work and he's gonna he's gonna voice WORK. Great vid as always Nyarly!
Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO I am so here for Nyarly's Yakuza arc!
Ten Years In The Joint
Nyarly became a Yakuza youtuber? LETS GO!
something something 10 years in the joint
You should do the Yakuza 0 Mountain Dew challenge. You can only heal by drinking Mountain Dew.
for a no upgrade run makes Nishi's Ten years in the joint insult funnier
Sucker punch go crazy like he was almost beat and sucker punched you lol
Please more Yakzua Runs.
This was a very entertaining video, I like your challenge runs.

Sure, it's fine, but I personally consider it a tad excessive, at least for this dub.
the og game didnt let you use the japanese va unless you played the japanese version (ie: no translation at all).
@@mouthwide0pen not anymore, there's a Japanese dub version available now online.
It’s really not as bad as people say other than the swearing, Japanese is obviously better but still
51:59 the second "nishikiii" here caught me so off guard i started dying laughing lmao
11:44 Oh my gosh, What?! Hahaha!! Sora! We gotta kill all these yakuza!! Ahahaha-hugh!!
I love og yakuza 1. My favourite line of the dub is yuya early on where in the original he says "you couldnt be any more yakuza if you tried" but in the dub...
Youll have to play it to find out
awesome to see nyarly branching into the yakuza series.
honestly thought we was going to see your attempt at jo amon but still it was a great video.
The franchise is great. Definitely worth getting into and playing.
27:54 RIP to the doorman
This is my first video of yours, but I was expecting piano to start playing at the sound of your intro. XD
You've earned a sub.
Didn't expect you to do the OG Yakuza instead of the Kiwami one, but well, time to enjoy the Dub xD
You gotta stop! Everytime I'm trying new games or get back into older games I love, you pop up and do a challenge on it 😂 Love the content Nyarly ❤
I longed for the day I'd see proper Yakuza challenge runs. I'm so hoping this becomes a trend like it has for Dark Souls and Resident Evil
as soon as you said the joint reference i had to stop the video and press the like button lmao
25:40 - Leon has a contender for great one-liners!
Yakuza seems to be hitting the world by storm rn. Might have to play one of them.
It’s one of Sega’s strongest franchises hope you enjoy it
Right now? Try the past couple of years
You definitely won't be disappointed. I started playing Yakuza last year. I've played them all from Yakuza 0 to Yakuza like a dragon. Its definitely worth it. Never played any Yakuza game before that. It's really fun
I just love that Nishiki gives an evil smirk at Kazuma in the end.
The only two times I’ve cried during the Kiryu saga were when Shintaro died in *this version* of the game and the end of Y5, I’m looking forward to future Yakuza challenges.
1:21 - you're welcome.
more like "Can you beat 10 years in the joint without upgrades."
What ten years in the joint does to a mf:
"this game has a lot of swearing in it, which is refreshing because no games do it today.
Anyways I'm going to censor every single one or the media overlords will seize my finances"

bring that shit, nyarly!

This challenge not only seems tough but would also make the game kind of become dull since your stuck with a very limited and repetitive move set through this whole game.
its wild to see how different some of the stages of the game can be, also way more difficult in the kiwami remake.

Babe wake up nyarly posted
Damn , I'm mad at myself for never listening to the original game's soundtrack. It's wild.
I appreciate you not calling him Kazama but still Fuma
27:54 Some...body told me the world is gonna roll me...
Glorious, so few Yakuza challenge runs
This is truly the Dark Souls level 1 of Yakuza runs
I never thought that Nyarly would do yakuza. This made my day.
Yakuza content! Hell yeah!!
36:25 Technically Kiryu didn't kill that guy, the one with the rifle did 😅 so he totally hasn't killed anyone
Dead Souls was actually incredible. Doing a kick only run would be hell btw ;)
i have no idea why but the final hit of every battle kinda sounds like the half life 2 stalker scream to me
Holy shit, I never expected a Yakuza video. Awesome!
BABE WAKE UP NEW NYARLY VIDEO
Love seeing the OG Yakuza representation
Love this game.
I have yearned for a day someone uploads quality Yakuza challenge runs. Please god dont let this be the last one.
Nyarly doing Yakuza content? Sign me up!
Not gonna sugarcoat it
But?😊
R1 + Triangle
I'm definitely down for more Yakuza, it's a series I missed out on when it got started and I'm now a devout follower of. Least amount of heat moves to beat Y2 maybe? ;)
BRING THAT VIDEO, NYARLY !
I come back to this video every few months
God I never expected you to cover a Yakuza game, but I'm here for it. BRING THAT SHIT NYARLY!
To be honest it was a good idea to play the og yakuza, because in Kiwami you can get a way on a technically with the majima everywhere mechanic
49:42 Ten years in the joint
I heard it 💀
I playd the remake so this was cool to see the OG. Great video Nyarly!
Another PS2 Yakuza appreciator, good to see a man of taste
Loved the PS2 Yakuza, game has a bit of a learning curve compared to the new ones feels real.
MY GOD! It is good to feel this kinda nostalgia. I have not played the original on ps2 for years now... This video is gonna be dope! :)
This is really cool I never saw the og yakuza game and I can see their is more reason than nostalgia that you choose this game as I played the remakes and were not easy for me like the prisoner for example
Ten joints in the year made yo- (has a stroke)
Kiryu doesn't kill. He just tests the limits of Japan's legal and hospital systems
Nyarly making a Yakuza video??? Real!
I tried a challenge like this but it was on Yakuza 5 on legend mode and it’s fucking hard
YES, one of my favorite RUclipsrs covering my favorite series. This is gonna be fucking sick
i had to go thru the same struggle with gary buster because in battle review mode you need to beat him without upgrades, and for an S rank you need to have more than half your healthbar lol,
also bosses like hayashi and shindo would've been much easier if you used grabs, even without upgrades
This is what ten years in the joint turns you into.
Wait, what the fuck? Robin Atkins Downes is Jingu, fucking Travis Touchdown is in this game?
My man already has my respect but that got elevated to a new level when I saw this. Yakuza best game out there
