    And here we are, officially done with archiving/uploading the story fights of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This one is pretty mixed for most people for a lot of understandable reasons. I think for me personally, the more I see it, the more I appreciate it. I can see what they wanted to do with Ebina, even if it could've been done better. The fight's cinematic bits are amazing, but I do wish that the party members didn't get completely floored in the intro and that at least one of them would land one small hit in. Regardless, this is a pretty fun fight and I enjoyed it. I like that it has a QTE in the middle and then another one at the end! Overall thoughts on the story as I mentioned previously in either streams or the third episode of the RGG Cast: I really like this game overall. Some story segments could've been done better, and I wish the DLC wasn't as horrendous as it is. Other than that, this is a solid game and definitely a top tier one for me.

    Ebina's dynamic intro only introduces him with his name with no title, no ex-captain of the Seiryu Clan or head of Bleach Japan. Unlike the other final bosses who don't have a title or reverted to their previous one, Ebina only saw being in a high position of power as a means to accomplish his true goal. It was even hinted in his introduction how he didn't care about being chairman when he had his video conference on the sofa instead of by the chairman's desk.

    Tsueno Iwami, and the future of the yakuza and how they’re all doomed to be slaves of corrupt CEOs or Government suits using them for vile purposes (which ended up getting proven true with RK and the Tokyo Omi). Iwami is the perfect antithesis to Kiryu, the ideal yakuza.
    Kosei Shishido, and the oldschool yakuza and how they have no place anymore. Their way of life is outdated and ideals do more harm than good. If Iwami is what the cycle has become, Kosei is finally destroying it. Shishido is no different to 0 Kiryu, and Kiryu is putting to rest his old self and the concept of the ideal yakuza.
    And now, Masataka Ebina, and the sins of the yakuza. The end of denial of the harm the yakuza do, whether old or new. No more romanticizing, just the truth that needs to be atoned. Ebina is Kiryu’s self hatred personified, and the fight is Kiryu finally overcoming it.
    Kiryu’s finale wasn’t one game, but a 3 game/7 year long final stand against his mental struggles and the concept of the yakuza itself!

    Ebina was a villain the series needed for so long, if you ask me.
    In the background of all the tales of glory, honor, and strength we see, people like Ebina are left behind to suffer and languish. He finally forces Kiryu to admit that the Tojo could have been better, but he instead ran away and perpetuated the system - which is why I think the “Ichiban should’ve been here instead” criticism is silly.

    People can say what they want about Ebina as a character and even a boss to a certain extent, but they can't say his boss theme End Of Denial isn't a banger. Again the most dramatic final boss theme in the entire series. Really gives a lot of weight to Kiryu. His regret of not changing the Tojo Clan and Yakuza world at large when he became 4th Chairman leading to the likes of Ebina suffering from the Yakuza world and how in this current fight he has to deal with him while fighting his own battle with cancer.

      Never thought it that way actually. Sadly fitting for the story, seeing as Ebina is the parallel of Ichiban if he had been forced with the burdens of the Yakuza from birth, or simply instead of being raised by the lower class, he was raised by the contrasting underworld. Both sons of Arakawa, plagued by stigma.

    Ebina oh ebina. I love this character and boss fight despite it being so painfully flawed. the tattoo and whole idea of his character being someone who hates the yakuza imo is interesting but what really wins me over is the lines after you beat him. About how no matter what promises the yakuza make about being honorable or better or any ideals at the end of the day they run a business that is inherently built of taking advantage and hurting people. I think he's right there and i like thia conflict. I just wish so so bad we got more of ebina beyond his grudge. Id love to see why his life revolves around hate. Is it because he is a sad shell underneath it all. A comment i read had this idea i love, that the reason ebina discarded his sheath is because he is planning to die. This is a suicide for him, literally/spiritually which is an interesting parallel to kiryu who wants to just die already and spends this game gaining the will to live again. But at las this is just reading too much. I still like the character as is and found him entertaining whenever he was on screen. Reminded me of sagawa and sawashiro. I never could get a read or understand him my first run. ALSO THE BOSS GOES HARD AF I LOVE THE MOVESET AND THE HEALING. Its a nice long slugfest and god the aoes are way better imo than having an instakill move. His theme is amazing its so melancholic. First phase kinda feels like for whose sake ps2. As in it feels like its trying to move to a climax but cant and it's just a sad clash of broken people. Then second phase sounds way way more dangerous. One last thing i love the type of beatup kiryu is at the end. The blood on his head looks so realistic and the man is tired. I sure do hope there isn't a nuclear trafficker named ebisawa who got arrested a month after this game dropped he ho

      For me, the biggest issue with Ebina is that he is Aizawa 2. Different in terms of goals, but similar in execution. His motivations are not fleshed out enough to give people a reason to either feel sympathy or fear towards the character. People call Shishido as Aizawa 2, but Shishido has a fleshed out motivation and is a character to be feared from start to finish, he is the correction of the Aizawa prototype.

      @windows8.170 3 месяца назад +7

      ​@shadowtoad95 Ngl but the whole writing of Gaiden and 8 has a lot of flaws in itself, but honestly at the very end of the game you can feel Ebina, cause he was one of these people that had his live ruined thanks to Yakuza ideologies. Though I think he wasn't ever meant to be a fearsome enemy, but rather a victim and a conclusion of Kiryu's "Yondaime" Arc. Throughout the whole 6 (7 if you count Gaiden) games, they did show how people were suffering due to Yakuza idealogies, but never showed a scene where Kiryu could've lead the tojo and yakuza world by himself to change it. And didn't get to fight any villian that was affected by the Yakuza idealogies

      At least you could tell ebina was going to be the main antagonist. Aizawa flip flops from enemy to ally then drops from the face of the earth to suddenly being the final boss.
      Ebina I feel needed more screen time and it shows in his prefight monologue (a cinematic cutscene to in game dailogue to cinematic cutscene, seriously?) His life as a kid and becoming a police officer to his hatred of the yakuza and Arakawa should been shown through out the game and not all in one go in the same scene. It'd be like if shishido gave his betrayal, omi alliance and final stand speech all in the same scene

    • @thebiggestofmen
      @thebiggestofmen 3 месяца назад +9

      I do really really like ebina as he is due to loving a couple scenes, him being a great reckoning of the romanticized yakuza we see and the reality, a great vocal performance that sells how unhinged and wrathful he is, PEAK BOSS FIGHT thats well balanced. And a beautiful track. I just think he could be a wee bit better. Also abt being ichis brother, i thinks he is supossed to mirror kiryu's relationship with ichi. Both causing him to change deeply. Anyway ebina peak and solos iwami

      @thebiggestofmen definitely, I still like Ebina. It's just that with a few tweaks and additions, i think he could've been the best antagonist of the series.
      Considering we aren't given a conclusion on Ebina (whether he was killed, arrested, Daidojied unless I'm misremebering), hopefully he returns as rgg has shown they can bring back faced scanned actors as seen with nanba and sawashiro.

  • @nexus2046
    @nexus2046 3 месяца назад +15

    Ok so, maybe I'm overthinking but the symbolism in that dynamic intro kick is making me crazy:
    yes, it's reminiscent of the Mine intro in 3 because that was the first dynamic intro ever in the series and reminiscent of the Iwami intro in 6 because that was (supposedly at the time) the last game with Kiryu as a playable character, but here there's a relevant change: Kiryu isn't doing the kick in the air, but on the ground.
    This is because, unlike 3 and 6 where at first we didn't knew if Kiryu would have died or not, here we know from the start that Kiryu is dying of cancer. So Kiryu staying on the ground while still kicking in response to Ebina's kick symbolizes this: unlike the past two times, his story won't go on because even if, as we all saw, he would have survived cancer, it still would have leave him weakened and not capable of fighting anymore, while Ebina's story (if RGG Studio doesn't throw him away) hasn't come yet to an end.
    I probably wrote this in a very confused way but I hope I could convey the message as clearly as possible as to why I love this dynamic intro so much, probably my favorite ever as for now.
    Also you know Ebina means business if he obliterated Sawashiro so easily

    • @thebiggestofmen
      @thebiggestofmen Месяц назад +1

      Yes but also i'd hate that since it wouldn't have let kiryu 1. Go back to being himself and 2. Ichi told him straight up that he has to live and he cant die. The whole game is him learning to live with his mistakes and come out of his shell. Even if he doesn't have much time left. Imo it would be cheap to kill and since he have had "kiryu dies at the end" fakeouts so many times it wouldn't have hit imo. I think it was best done in y5. Anyway i think that him living doesn't make the cancer plot meaningless since it hit so hard bc you know the guy from y1 is gone. No matter what he cant do this anymore

    Masataka is actually quite unique as a Boss to me. His reasons for despising Masumi is valid, but unfocused.
    Masumi was actually one of the most decent Yakuza heads. He had a genuine good heart just like Ichiban, but more realistic to the World he lived in. Unlike Kasuga, who tried his hardest to see good in even the most lowest of people.
    Kiryu is such a decent man and Yakuza as well. Wish him and Masumi could have met.

    Kiryu's team was tie with Daigo, Majima and Saejima. The fact that Ebina fought this team alone, even though he lost, is still very impressive. If Kiryu didn't have cancer, i believe Ebina could still give him a good fight 1on1.
    Personally i would put him on the same level as Mine and Shishido, the strongest opponents Kiryu ever fought.
    Also, this fight's theme song has a 80s feel to it, probably because Kiryu's story started in the 80s and this is the end of his journey, gives me so much nostalgia and emotions. We have come a long way together, Kiryu-san

    It also just feels weird as a send-off. Kiryu being the first one would really feel like he's "leaving it to Ichiban", which I think would be cool. At the very least, their fights should've been swapped in terms of when you do them. Kiryu first, Ichi last.

    Seriously? You rob ichiban of the final playable segment of the game just to make Kiryu do it? Thats such horse shit to me, not to mention the game after all this time feels the need to not include the party members in the final qtes, and for what? To make ebina look stronger?
    Nanba blocked a fucking punch from daigo!, let them look at least a little compotent, the kiryu show is over rgg, this is your last chance before I get genuinely concerned for how dick eating you do for this fictional character. If kiryu just absolutely must fight ebina, ichiban and kiryu should've done it as a tag team, ichiban and kiryu side by side?, you know, part of this game's marketing????
    Not to mention, as cool as I think Ebina is, these games just REFUSE to build up their villains before you fight them, like they have the compulsive desrie to make it a guessing game ."whos it gonna be guys!?", type shit has consistently just been lame, time and time again, that has been shown to actively just make them worse.
    Now tell me, how do you have a game as long as infinite wealth, and still not have time show off the villain earlier on in order for their to be _anticipation_

The one to fight Shishido is him, not Kiryu. Sure it would be really cool, but just not worth the throwing the original character's momentum in the garbage.
      As for Ebina, yes he is an antagonistic force for half of the game, what I'm not a fan of is what he does in that time. I don't know about you, but villains just all of a sudden expunging their sad backstory at the tail end isn't very interesting, it feels like the character made it up.

      Kiryu is fighting Ebina because Ebina Represents the ever present wrong doings of the Yakuza, Ebina mother died due to a lack of care or effort put towards his family, and with Arakawa gone, his hate spread to the entire Yakuza as concept.
      The thing is, Kiryu could've probably stopped this from happening if he actually did his duty as chairman, Kiryu knows this, and his no other choice than to fight the embodiment of his sloth.
      Which is very cool mind you, but that doesn't mean I have to like 100% of it. Kiryu deciding to deal with this from Ichiban (the main character of the game). Deal with this alone is just sort of showing that Kiryu is still sort of on his martyrisms, and that's annoying.
      Writing the story this way rips away what should be our (let me remind you) _Main character's_ chance to be emotional challenged as a person.
      But no, more Kiryu never hurt. besides, Kiryu fighting Ebina isn't fan service daigo and co fighting on the tower definitely is, but there really isn't a part that gives off any "hell yeah" vibes besides Kiryu, and just putting Kiryu in everything shouldn't count as fan service, let alone good fan service.
