+Love Train And on top of that, that Yoneda piece of shit died so quickly, probably without feeling pain. I hate chickens like that who never fight fair and act big to others when the latters are in disadvantage.
@ Man me too yakuza 4 was my first game i didn't know him but somehow he looked very strong to me even before fight then i play other yakuza series and find out why (Fuck indeed)
Yakuza in a sentence: "Yakuza is a series about Human Conflict, Tension and mostly Satisfying Resolution" if anyone asks why this series is so damn good, you can use this.
11:48 The way Kuze stands up after being sucka-smacked by Kiryu looks so badass... as in "now you've done it, kid!". Kuze was definitely a wonderful character that grew on me... I guess was as intended.
uskan ikr? it fantastically embodies Kiryu and Majma’s relationship: the madness, the bombasticness yet beautiful side and the hardcore, ice cold, demeanor side. They perfectly compliment each other.
@@reborn1x In Ryu Ga Gotoku Online there is a storyline where ichiban and kuze have to complete a mission after he is released from prison, but he fails the mission, but due to some other factor he is excused, but does not re-enter the yakuza, instead living on as a citizen.
12:15 Damn.. First Yakuza game I've played, never have I found myself so immersed in a fight scene, I had to replay the game just to unlock the Legend fighting style to do it right( I didn't even know about it till I watched a vid from your channel) just for this fight. I literally get goosebumps when that music starts for the final showdown, Dragon vs Dragon, damn it why have I never heard of this amazing series before!
The kids fight has everything good about a yakuza boss intro. The sequencing of other fights that have lead you to this fight. Good dialogue between the perfect idealist of the warrior vs Yakuza spirit. Kuze attacking and the title insert of his name "the demon". His theme kicks on or leitmotif and the song is great. Loved that scene.
I don't know anything about what's happened with Saejima and Majima because I'm only on Kiwami 2. Or i just finished watching a playthrough of it 6 days ago but damn could it be cool if Majima came to save his bro even if it was to beat up Kiryu-Chan.
i'm the one who should thank you, really! And this series, the cinematic quality present in it ever sice the first game you can't help but fall in love for it, it's perfect.
devilleon7 How about Top 10 Hypest Songs that will give you an Adrenaline Rush? Or something like that. Almost every final boss soundtrack are qualified for it. Mine is "Born to Be WILD" in Black Panther cuz it's the strongest song in the series. :D
Mine is the coolest of them for sure, but his motive was laughable. What part of "he will eventually wake up" does he not understand? 😂😂 Other than that, his character was great.
@@hisholiness4537 sure Daigo was going to wake up sooner or later but Mine didn't trust in Daigo if he was able to wake up from his comatose status. He thought by being the chairman could heal his broken heart for his husbando. Such a shame Mine died. . .
I feel like the reason they remade 1 and 2, and added a prequel wasn’t just to remake them, it was to make them more accessible to people coming into the series, and so they could reconstruct the plot of Kiryu and Majima’s path to the characters we know. You’ve got to remember, those came out just shortly after the series was getting basically no support in the west, it was a massive expensive blast into a market argument Ryu Ga Gotoku studios had basically no experience in, so I really doubt they’re going to remake any of the other titles. Closest we’ll probably ever get is more remasters. And I’m fine with that. The games are playable as is, and they don’t need remakes.
Awesome list.One of my favorite things in RGG series is how they start to silently play boss theme while scene still going and when battle starts boss theme always in the perfect spot. My personal favorites are Kazuma vs Daigo in RGG4 and Kazuma vs Tojo Clan in RGG5.
XellosDarkSlayer Except the fight against Tojo Clan in RGG5 has no Dynamic Opening. By Dynamic Opening, I mean the ones that link the cutscene with the gameplay, like the ones you see in this video.
The Kazuma x Mine intro definitely deserves the 1st spot. The whole build up for that moment + the full deliverance just speaks of epicness. Also Mine is the only antagonist I actually think it's a shame he died at the end... He was somewhat extreme, but he was still a man of honor.
Dang. My favourite one (Tanimura vs Munakata) is not on the list. Seeing Phoenix Wright jump straight at Manfred von Karma and his SWAT team is just awesome. The kicker, Tanimura already had the evidence to arrest Munakata OR shoot him but he chose to beat every single one of them Kamurocho style.
as someone who's only played 0, 1, and 2 at this time, I have to say number 3 and 2 were my favorite. the dual dragons of Dojima fighting and then majima in his fight against the assasin. The events leading to both just got me super pumped.
I think it's a localization thing. Not stating it ain't weird because kiryu is his first name. But yeah Asian countries do family names first (last names) then individual names. So sometimes they change them around for subtitles so it makes sense for western audiences and you can probably see how that might confuse the english writers who are already desperately trying to find english phrases that equate with Japanese phrases. Hence why certain words said in Japanese get multiple different translations in the game. So aside for some weird translations like what you brought up I honestly gotta commend the english translators for localizing the game so western audiences can understand the weight of certain things being said while keeping true to the Japanese feel. Also never go full 4 kids! Who you trying to fool with that jelly filled nonsense! Even as a kid I knew that was a rice ball! Wait I'm Asian, damn I have the advantage of knowing rice. POINT STILL STANDS!
@@Ormerjere Nope it's Kiryu. That's why he introduces himself as Kazama Kiryu (Because in Japan family name goes first) and also everyone close to him calls him Kiryu which is a very Japanese thing to not call someone by their first name unless you're close, though the U.S. equivalent is probably referring to someone as Mr... or Mrs...
@@madmalkavian3857 you do know that the games are localised in a way that the subs say their first names first and last names last? It is just a dumb localisation thing. For example the voice actor says "Sawamura Haruka" and the subs say "Haruka Sawamura". Now tell me what is kiryus daughters first name?
MINEEEEE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ He's one of my fav antagonists so far so yeeaaahhhh! Also, it's not a coincidence that half the bosses on this list comes from Yakuza 0. It was sooo good ❤️❤️❤️
3:45 This, when I was watching this scene for the first time I was like holy shit are we going to fight Kiryu then the answer came with me getting my ass kicked several times... Also Smile Venomously ftw!
I've watched this a number of times now and I don't think I'll ever tire of seeing Kiryu's little amused smirk when he mentions that he knows a guy like Saejima, just as Saejima says Kiryu reminds him of his blood-brother.
Thanks! I love the battle intros of the series. They're so dramatic. I was gonna ask if you could upload all of them from the whole series, but it looks like Sega won't let you.
Fuuuuuck, that Ishin one gives me goosebumps each time I see it. Just when the For Who's Sake remix kicks in. Man, I gotta play it again at some point.
I thought the first place would be a sene from yakuza 0, I thought I would got mad if it Is not from it because 0 is my favorite. But, the last one I showed us, the conversion is so impressive and it is stronger than any kind of fight! Thank you for bringing this amazing piece to us!!!!
The Mine one was the first one I saw that got me absolutely hyped. I've seen some other great ones since then (Quite a few are in this video actually) but that one still remains my favorite.
I believe it's Yakuza tradition. If you noticed, some of the fights don't have you and you enemy remove tops and battle 1v1, like Jingu's boss fight in Kiwami.
@@e-shockwaave7418 I could be wrong, but think about it. In Yakuza 0, you don't take off your jacket throughout most of the bosses but towards the ending bosses, you remove the jacket and shirt
deniz arik he aknowledges that Kuze was a man of Honor who stood for his words and admires him as a senpai. It shows in his clothing style later on as you correctly recognized
it's kinda cool how in this final fight, kuze's theme felt more like it's kiryu's theme instead, like it started playing when kiryu enters the room and hit kuze, meanwhile in previous fight it started whenever kuze appears
Damn I wanted ryuji goda to be up there that one was hype and I like that little piano song at the start when his name comes up. Nevermind I just realised kiwami 2 came after this video (my bad) but that intro is still hype
Dude... When Kiryu seen the state Tachibana was in, you could see the anger practically radiating off him. He was pissed and it was known. They cut no corners in 0 and it was amazing
No wonder the final fight from Yakuza Kiwami didn't make it - this video was made long before then. It definitely warrants a place on this list, as much as I loved most of the fights from Yakuza 0.
In the Majima Saga of Kiwami 2, which admittedly is pretty bare-bones compared to the rest of the game, the final boss has the most hype buildup and dynamic intro for Majima. It's amazing.
I love that look Kuze gives Kiryu during the Tachibana sequence, for a brief second you can tell he's actually shitting himself cause he knows Kiryu is getting stronger.
The Yakuza 4 fight with Kiryu, Akiyama, and Tanimura (the Hiroki Narimiya version too ❤️), while a little out of nowhere and kinda silly since they should both know who he is or at least have seen what he looks like before, is still an absolutely hype scene and a great way to bring the three together. The Saejima one is amazing in every way, shows Kiryu’s more…spunky side, he’s smug cause of the experience he’s had and also because of the fact he likes Saejima’s determination. The intro itself had me exited and blown away we were fighting Kiryu as someone else. 0’s intros, man…seeing them for the first time was like seeing something so new to me I couldn’t even say anything while I was streaming it to friends. It just blew me away that much. Every single one is amazing in its own way, from the camera work, to the dialogue.
Yea this was pretty accurate considering Kiwami hadn't been released back then, cuz I for sure think Nowadays Nishikiyama would be one of my favorite dynamics, and the Kei Ibuchi one too that one was nice
№1 is the right choice ya did))) only there was so much feelings through they're talk, so much drama & only there was epic music))) when ya fight in this final battle in Yakuza 3 & plays that music, it's somehow fight not Kiryu, it's ya fighting against him))) I watched so many times that battle in different videos))) this is epic & tense battle Yakuza have! :D Ya did a great video Leon! Ya have my thanks! :D
LarsJunFan Oleg Troitskii Yep, I love Number one, it's filled with emotions and feelings which makes the fight and the music even more epic than they originally are. That intro was something really really amazing at the time, something that blew my mind from how manly and awesome it was xD Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :D
YAKUZA 7 SPOILERS: If I had to update this for the present day, the fight introduction where Ichiban just rocks Kiryu in the face and Kiryu just stands there and doesn't move as his title card drops in is probably my new favorite in the entire franchise. So goddamn cool.
You chose Kiryu vs Mine as number 1 and I felt that's one of the weakest in my opinion. Kiryu vs Shibusawa is my favorite by far, and the lore behind it is so powerful. Since this video was posted, Kiwami 2 came out, and I loved Majima vs Ibuchi. Majima dodging bullets at point blank range is godlike.
Great list. it's almost similar to how I ranked them but for me #10 would be replaced with Akiyama vs Arai just because Aki kept his shirt on, that always made me laugh. #5 would be replaced with the Daigo/Kiryu rematch. And #1 would be Taiga vs that gigantic bear. I can't remember if it had a dynamic intro, fighting the urge to replay it till the western release, but the look of excitement and fear on my little brother's face as he was watching me play when that scene started was enough to make Taiga vs The Bear one of the most memorable boss fights.
devilleon7 And at that exact moment where their feets aren't on the ground. *"Fly" started playing. Too perfect :D P/S: The final battle with Shibusawa had that too but unlike Y3 where Kiryu already matured as a Dragon. In that scene, you could see Kiryu's hands slowly turning into a "claw", signifying his destiny as the Dragon of Dojima after that match.

That’s almost every fucking game though
Kiryu’s “Yakuza in a sentence”: Yakuza is not a way of dying, it is a way of living
Kuze's pose in 11:49 is the most yakuza pose I've ever seen in my entire life.
It looks like a fighting game when you select 2 characters.

Don Vecta Definently one of the best characters in the whole series, even with only one game.
It must be the BEST intro. Damn KUZE! BADDAST EVER
Yeah the staredown is great.

IMO the best battle intro is Tanimura vs. Munakata tied with Kiryu vs. Aizawa.
Great list man!

Damn I wanted ryuji goda to be up there that one was hype and I like that little piano song at the start when his name comes up.
Nevermind I just realised kiwami 2 came after this video (my bad) but that intro is still hype
I think number 1 is in the right place I loved that one
Dude... When Kiryu seen the state Tachibana was in, you could see the anger practically radiating off him. He was pissed and it was known. They cut no corners in 0 and it was amazing
No wonder the final fight from Yakuza Kiwami didn't make it - this video was made long before then. It definitely warrants a place on this list, as much as I loved most of the fights from Yakuza 0.
مبروك 850 مشترك تستاهل والله D:
legend LGD الله يبارك فيك, تسلم :D
two. fucking. dragons.
In the Majima Saga of Kiwami 2, which admittedly is pretty bare-bones compared to the rest of the game, the final boss has the most hype buildup and dynamic intro for Majima. It's amazing.
I love that look Kuze gives Kiryu during the Tachibana sequence, for a brief second you can tell he's actually shitting himself cause he knows Kiryu is getting stronger.
I freaking love these!!!
Goddamn this reminded me of how great part 4 was. I think that one's my favourite in the whole series.
The Yakuza 4 fight with Kiryu, Akiyama, and Tanimura (the Hiroki Narimiya version too ❤️), while a little out of nowhere and kinda silly since they should both know who he is or at least have seen what he looks like before, is still an absolutely hype scene and a great way to bring the three together.
The Saejima one is amazing in every way, shows Kiryu’s more…spunky side, he’s smug cause of the experience he’s had and also because of the fact he likes Saejima’s determination. The intro itself had me exited and blown away we were fighting Kiryu as someone else.
0’s intros, man…seeing them for the first time was like seeing something so new to me I couldn’t even say anything while I was streaming it to friends. It just blew me away that much. Every single one is amazing in its own way, from the camera work, to the dialogue.
Yea this was pretty accurate considering Kiwami hadn't been released back then, cuz I for sure think Nowadays Nishikiyama would be one of my favorite dynamics, and the Kei Ibuchi one too that one was nice
Loved this video devilleon7!!
Kiryu vs majima in the cage had a awesome Intro. Sad that it didn't make it
Kiryu and Shibusawa is absolutely the best in the entire series if you include the build-up from the cutscene
M A S S I V E M A N. it was the first dynamic intro i saw lol
№1 is the right choice ya did))) only there was so much feelings through they're talk, so much drama & only there was epic music))) when ya fight in this final battle in Yakuza 3 & plays that music, it's somehow fight not Kiryu, it's ya fighting against him))) I watched so many times that battle in different videos))) this is epic & tense battle Yakuza have! :D Ya did a great video Leon! Ya have my thanks! :D
LarsJunFan Oleg Troitskii Yep, I love Number one, it's filled with emotions and feelings which makes the fight and the music even more epic than they originally are. That intro was something really really amazing at the time, something that blew my mind from how manly and awesome it was xD
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :D
OH YEAH, don't forget yakuza 4 ending battle with Kiryu and Daigo... that was rad
YAKUZA 7 SPOILERS: If I had to update this for the present day, the fight introduction where Ichiban just rocks Kiryu in the face and Kiryu just stands there and doesn't move as his title card drops in is probably my new favorite in the entire franchise. So goddamn cool.
You chose Kiryu vs Mine as number 1 and I felt that's one of the weakest in my opinion. Kiryu vs Shibusawa is my favorite by far, and the lore behind it is so powerful. Since this video was posted, Kiwami 2 came out, and I loved Majima vs Ibuchi. Majima dodging bullets at point blank range is godlike.
Can we talk about how Kuze's so good that he's in here multiple times?
and how half the vid is yakuza 0 XD
I think the fight with Ryuji Goda should have been number one... But nice video bro. Keep going i am a yakuza serie fan
God damn I love yakuza 4
Beautiful
last bossfight in the majima chapter of kiwami 2 is amazing! has to be one of the best.
6:40 It was very kind of the motorcycle to face it's light down the tunnel so that the audience could see the fight properly.
You know a fight is coming when someone screams....
Great list. it's almost similar to how I ranked them but for me #10 would be replaced with Akiyama vs Arai just because Aki kept his shirt on, that always made me laugh. #5 would be replaced with the Daigo/Kiryu rematch. And #1 would be Taiga vs that gigantic bear.
I can't remember if it had a dynamic intro, fighting the urge to replay it till the western release, but the look of excitement and fear on my little brother's face as he was watching me play when that scene started was enough to make Taiga vs The Bear one of the most memorable boss fights.
Kiryu vs Nishki at the end of Kiwami 1 was my favorite hands down.
Kiryu is a freaking beast. Tanked a speeding iron pipe swing from a motorcycle and another iron pipe swing after that and still kick Kuze's ass.
yakuza 0 is just a masterpiece, it is the best in every aspect, in game story , fights, bosses, yakuza is still my number 1 on all yakuza series .
3 still gives me chills.
I wonder what the next subscriber special will be
(leans back in chair and ponders)
14:33 first time i played this fight i was dissapointed that the whole fight wasn’t with handcuffs, could’ve made for some real interesting combat.
The kuze sewer fight from yakuza 0 will always be number 1 for me
the sewer fight between kiryu and kuze always gets me pumped
Pledge of Demon is such a badass song
9:15 my favourite intro in yakuza ishin
I was confused as to why there wasn’t any Kiwami 2 intros on the list but then i realised the date the video was made.
1:33 I love Majima's face here
Mine as No.1. YES!!!
And their "claws" at 21:13 look just like their two mystical beings counterpart, a Dragon and a Kirin ready to claw each other eyes out :D
Dan Hyang Wow, I never even paid attention to their hands or thought of them as claws.. xD
devilleon7 And at that exact moment where their feets aren't on the ground. *"Fly" started playing. Too perfect :D
P/S: The final battle with Shibusawa had that too but unlike Y3 where Kiryu already matured as a Dragon. In that scene, you could see Kiryu's hands slowly turning into a "claw", signifying his destiny as the Dragon of Dojima after that match.
Majima vs Lao Gui and Kiryu vs Saejima are amongst my favourite badass fights
Seriously you didn't include nishki vs kiryu? That is one of the most badass title cards of any yakuza game.
