Meanwhile I've been playing Yakuza: The Man Who Forgot His Plate, a game about a guy who misplaces his tableware around the streets of Tokyo. It's nice to know Dunkey's using them to eat his okonomiyaki at least.
I love how he spends a significant portion of the video just playing the arcade games, it's the perfect way to demonstrate the essence of the Yakuza franchise.
I'm glad I watched this video, it got me to play this on game pass. Just beat it and I was crying my eyes out, definitely recommend this to any long time Yakuza fans.
For a man who forgot his name, he reminds everyone not to forget it, by doing things that people remember that one guy doing, all the while still forgetting his name.
the way that he could've just take the beat up and so the enemy spread the word "that weakling ain't Kiryu" could do him favor, but fight is one of his great instinct i guess
this style of video is so refreshing & endlessly entertaining. it’s just a buffet of you riffing every other scene with all your years of experiencing video game bullshit making them dry as hell. love it man
a 15 minute vertical slice of what every yakuza game is like. Walking a fine line between serious crime drama and ridiculous absurdity and I love it forever.
I didn't see this video under the tree until after I opened all my other presents which worked out perfectly because I saved the best for last. Merry Xmas Jason and family!
I liked the part where the man who forgot his own name said "I forgot my own name!" and then adult protective services had to look for him all over the place
thanks for highlighting the fighting arcade games and how they are stronger than anything in any game I've ever fought before actual demons on those CPUs
Cracking up over that "Thug who thinks Society is a joke". Here I thought he was just planning a revolution but turns out, he's just planning for a comedy stand up act.
I can handle Persona in English because of its aesthetic and fantasy elements. The Yakuza series has always been so very Japanese and grounded in reality despite the melodrama and silliness though, so hearing the characters speaking English just doesn't seem right. I think it's mostly that I've just become too used to hearing these characters in Japanese. Also, Kiryu is looking good for someone in, what, their mid 50's? lol
Yong Yea is such an awful pick for Kiryu. It sounds like a 30 year old man child trying to act like a grizzled 52 year old killer. It sounds off and I didn’t even know who tf he was until I heard his awful portrayal as Kiryu.
13:05 You see this scene is the most important part of the game, so of course they would want it to look the best. They made the right choice using all the ray graphics on it. And Merry Christmas, we got an awesome 14 min video gift from Dunkey!!
Man, in a time where I couldn't bring myself to play new games, your videos spark an excitement in me to go and play something actually worth my time instead of just another round of some FPS
Honestly, the funniest part for me was when you were playing that arcade racing game and eventually drove in the opposite direction. Reminded me of how I'd game when I was younger. Thanks for that!

For a man who erased his name a surprising number of people knows who he is. It's uncanny.
Yeah that's Suzuki, my taxi driver.
Kiryu: I will put on glasses and call myself Joryu. No one will ever know.
everypne know man's name is yakuza

The fight between Dunkey and Masked Man D is unforgettable. Truly a Yakuza moment
Kson would lose her mind over being gifted mountain dew! Great call as always Dunkey.
I love how Dunkey subtly and brilliantly honors the tradition of Donkey Kong December within the themes and subtext of a Yakuza video. Bravo
Donkey Kong is on Nintendo. Nintendo is a Japanese company. Kiryu is also Japanese. It makes perfect sense.
Happy Donkey Kong December!
Ikon clan
He forgot dinkey kong returns for the weeeeee
@@okname5335ah yes donkey Kong, my favorite strand type game

It's quite impressive that Dunkey did the English dub for every character in the game
he did a great job replicating ksons voice
Sadly, he could've done a better job with Kiryu's voice 😒
I knew it was him in Armored Core. Such a great actor.
@@Boss_ScaggzKiryu has such an iconic voice too. It’s like when they replaced Snake’s VA in MGSV
I finished crying from the end of this game just in time to cry with laughter from dunker playing it

I can't believe we finally got a Dunkey & Kson collab. 7 years in the making.
Sponsored by Mountain Dew no less!

13:56 the guy who thought society was a joke got turned into 14:00 the guy who lays on a bench. Very good dunkey
He got turned into Injured Homeless

Merry Xmas.
A 14 minute long Dunkey video is a literal Christmas miracle.
Truly the most wonderful time of the year
I love how he plays Sonic the Fighters for like 5
Best Donkey Kong December this year.
This game is literally full of stocking stuffers
literally my first thought. better than sex (im a virgin loser)
The back and forth between J.I.D. and dunkey is the collab we needed
Wait J.I.D. Actually did a track for a Yakuza game?
Yep!
Bruh I didn’t know that that’s fucking cool
Ikr, I can't believe he's finally collabing with a rapper of such caliber. J.I.D. really hit the big leagues.
The track seemed good too, But i Cant find it on Spotify… ;((
13:20 actually I’ve been happier than this to receive Mountain Dew
I could literally watch hours of this. Just too good 😂
I love how he spends a significant portion of the video just playing the arcade games, it's the perfect way to demonstrate the essence of the Yakuza franchise.
The essence of what?
@thesimpsoan7946 the essence of a guy who can't remember his name.
Essence of joryu kazuga
Essence of mazuma miryu
Sick of people saying this tired shit over and over. Stop acting like you've played the games.
I like how like 10 games on these guys still come up with the plan to fistfight kiryu with 20 dudes cause it'll work this time
That is actually the new character Joryu
It’s basically any game where you’re a legend. “You’re the dragon of dojima? Known for being an incredible fighter! Let’s fight!”
I think you will find that he is the humble taxi driver Taichi Suzuki
well, one guy had an exploding bracelet
That's because those 10 games are actually just the same game
God I love yakuza. It's just brimming with life! You can tell the devs are really passionate.
This game was amazing, thanks for the Christmas gift Dunkster. Love you :)
Dunkey is so nice to drop a video the day before Christmas so our families will get our attention Christmas morning instead of him.
Dinkey hates Australian families however
dunkler hates Swedish families however
*me sitting in the corner of my family cristmas watching this*
We are in this together, brother
"the day before"
truly a video game reference by hideo kojima
I feel like Kson really would be that excited to recieve mountain dew.
Yeah, it's really not all that out of character for her, is it?
Especially if she got it from Kiryu
I was thinking the same.
To be fair Kson would be excited to receive used toilet paper from Kiryu.@@inuiitti
Crazy collab
I like the part Yongyea says “Judge-mint”.
I'm glad I watched this video, it got me to play this on game pass. Just beat it and I was crying my eyes out, definitely recommend this to any long time Yakuza fans.

Dunkey predicted Yakuza as well.
Dunkey was on Donda 2 but was scrapped
3:20 so great of the devs to include a realistic dunkey statue in their game

Dunky and Kson Collabing together?! What an unexpected but welcoming surprise!
Dunky is listening to the dub.
I am literally crying and shaking rn.
It’s the funny mode, of course he picked it
@NotGeno yeah exactly
But we already have a Yakuza Silly mod
Yea it's goofy like the localization of anime.

This really just made my day. Merry Christmas 😁🎄
Love you! Another great video. Merry Chimpus

One of the great Christmas presents of all of time! Merry Christmas, Dunkey!
“Look at the feet graphics!”

Merry Christmas Dunkey, I love you!
3:23 he’s my favorite basketball player
underrated comment fr
Dunkey keeps posting these long ass videos and it makes me happier every time
15 minutes? Really? I mean the quality is great but that's not the point
I was waiting FOREVER for dunkey to play this. I expected it to be very different but its like a new Yakuza 0. Perfect for Dunkey as he loved Yakuza 0
Dunkey uploading a video on the very same holiday he invented is such a nice touch
I liked the part where the man who forgot his own name said "I forgot my own name!" and then adult protective services had to look for him all over the place
This game really makes you FEEL like you’re looking at the well rendered graphics of a Japanese gangster’s feet
It's the first strand-like to beat the world record of Knack 2's Big Bean Burrito at Gex's house

Happy holidays to you and yours Dunk.
"Why is Tails stronger than Man in a Hat?"

The man who forgot his name and became Spider-Man. Truly a Yakuza Alzheimer's moment.
Spiderman never kills(besides alternative universes)
...But Joryu? Yeah no question
3 legends cross paths in this video. Dunkey, Kazama Kiryu, and Kson. Truly a good day in my book
Idk what you're talking about bro, that's clearly Joryu and Kei
where majima
I love how I get notifications from Dunkey about old ass videos being uploaded, but not notifications when he actually uploads something new.
