Opposite of Yakuza 3 is Yakuza Kiwami 2. Y3: Low damage attacks and heat actions, bosses usually only have 2 health bars. YK2: Insane damage on attacks and heat actions, bosses can have Jo Amon health for fun. But hey... Kiwami does mean Extreme.
They actually boosted the final boss' healthbars in Kiwami 2 so he has more at 10 HEALTHBARS, the most of any story boss in the series. Hayashi still has more health bars than all the other bosses though lol.
I’m more bummed they didn’t give him a dynamic intro. Also the cutscene before the fight is cringe as fuck, bad lip sync and lack of emotions. Edit: oh, and EVIL ITSELF isn’t there
I remember this fight on the original, dude is a beast, the part that made lose it was when he rips the pipes of the walls, i was like "come on dude really, just give up already."
Considering we never saw Hayashi's tattoo, I can't help but wonder what it is/could be. I know there's a lot of bosses or even just supporting characters that don't show their tats, but for a reoccurring boss like him, it's a noticeable outlier.
I haven't played Kiwami 2 yet but his boss fight in the original on the PS2 is one of my favorites in the whole series. The setting, the music, his voice, his fighting style, the story for it. There's something very menacing and theatrical about it all. Some of the games' final bosses aren't as exciting and memorable as this fight.
aint gonna lie i actually liked his fight in this game, prob my most favorite fight that isnt a boss who's final or has a banger of the bangerest themes (his theme slaps still)
i remember playing this in the original ps2 version, man he blocks a lot of your attacks, your best bet is to have a tauriner or you wont be able to chip a large part of his health, and i used a flashbang for melee, was annoying
Idk if anyone ever point his out but. Damn they nerf Hayashi Height in Kiwami 2. he was suppose to be taller than Kiryu but in Kiwami 2 Rgg make him shorter.
Bro, It's just me, or I even considered the bosses really badass to rivalise with Kiryu in fights? I mean, this guy is a beast, and the bosses can give in a good fight, this is insane bro
SEGA downgraded his fight very hard, now it's fucking shit, Yakuza 2 Hiroshi Hayashi was the best boss battle of all time, badass scenes and some shit, but this? It's not badass at all :(
Dragon of Dojima : Kiryu
Mad Dog of Shimano : Majima
Lap Dog of Ryuji : Hayashi
Lap Dog of Goda if we're following surnames (in Japan it's Surname first, First name second)
The guy with more HP bars than the final boss
HIROSHI HAYASHI

@@steamedrice97 spoilers for yakuza 5
I think the final Aizawa fight had more health bars
@@h56_mza spoilers:
ryuji has 10 healthbars. Aizawa has 8.
@@steamedrice97 not 8? I thought Amon had 10
What's she doing?
She's just standing there.... *menacingly*
She probably stepped aside to let Kiryu settle the score with Hayashi one on one. It’s a very Kiryu thing to do.
Hiroshi is how I imagined lung cancer sounds like
....Have you heard Kuze?
@@allgrunfan4051 This man needs a medal! XD
@@allgrunfan4051 Tenryu from Majima Construction
Can't wait for Hayashi voice actor to voice Kiryu's cancer.
I always liked hayashis voice
Same
He sounds like an Idiot
Same. He's got this gruff badass tone. Reminds me of Kuze a little
His voice is good but when he starts spouting random shit like at 7:20 is just funny
Kuze and Ryuji combined
I’m bummed Hayashi just disappeared after this badass appearance and only showed up in Dead Souls
Wouldn't it be funny as hell if Hayashi was suddenly in the new Yakuza game?(The one that'll star a new protag)
I’m more bummed they didn’t give him a dynamic intro. Also the cutscene before the fight is cringe as fuck, bad lip sync and lack of emotions.
Edit: oh, and EVIL ITSELF isn’t there
Who would hire him? They're like "oh you're that guy who lost to Kiryu twice right? No thanks"
1:05 what is that ability please?
@@Jermaine2099 lost to Kiryu twice? hell Kuze lost to Kiryu for like 5 times in ONE GAME

I always wondered what Kashiwagi's tattoo would be
considering how he acts in dead souls, i would say probably a snake
@@TMCNM That'd be cool (and somewhat ironic)!
A dog maybe?

To me, this was the hardest battle in the whole series, back in the original yakuza 2. Damn, the guy was skilled.
man, a bit disappointed that we didn’t hear “evil itself” from the og OST
Finally An Boss Fight And An Legendary Character We All Appreciate In The Dragon Engine👏😃
The fact that he has 10x the amount of health bars than he had in Yakuza Kiwami, yet he’s twice as easy to beat is something that intrigues me.
aint gonna lie i actually liked his fight in this game, prob my most favorite fight that isnt a boss who's final or has a banger of the bangerest themes (his theme slaps still)
This fight is even more epic in the original game(Yakuza 2)
10:23 that punch is so fucking *_MEAN_*
i remember playing this in the original ps2 version, man he blocks a lot of your attacks, your best bet is to have a tauriner or you wont be able to chip a large part of his health, and i used a flashbang for melee, was annoying
SHIFTY-EYED MAN
Kiryu has never killed a single ma- @0:40
Don’t worry he got up
He still had half a bar of health left, hes fine
rubber hammer , and don't blame it on kiryu cause he died due to blood loss 4 hours later in hospital
Idk if anyone ever point his out but. Damn they nerf Hayashi Height in Kiwami 2. he was suppose to be taller than Kiryu but in Kiwami 2 Rgg make him shorter.
kinda? they made kiryu stumpier in K2 than he is in 0/K1 but there is a height difference. hayashi is in fact taller
And he become a king of zombie after this. Man
10:10
5 Page Ora
That man... Is Evil Itself.
You know the boss isn't that difficult when Kiryu decided to fight him with his clothes on.
Damn you work fast
His spinning fist move is sweet
Kiwami 2 is the only game I have to rely on healing items
10:10 I love the part where you tenderize his face.
That last punch always felt like it broke his neck
the cherry on top is the “CLEAR” sound effect right at the finisher making it sound like a boxing bell
I just... Jesus, the way his head slams into the ground after that last punch... fuck.
It looks like ass tho, the same animation from the og which is supposed to be against a wall but there is no wall. He's pinned against the air
0:13 Nani!? Do you see one of "Mysterious intruders"?
No
Is it just me or does he say "SHEEEEESH" when he attacks you
very long man
7:20 I don't know which one i should call him
Kamen Rider Agito or Nintendo Switch
So who else put on "End to the Drama" when this bastard's fight started?
Evil Itself tho….
@@jaypostromboli-jpgamertv-457 yeah man kiwami 2 sucks for not giving hayashi his own theme unlike in the og y2
@@_ExtremeHispasat_ so did Kiwami 1
Why does this guy get the only unique feel the heat in the game??
other than the tiger I think
Cause he's rad!
Becauseuse that man... is evil itself

Bro, It's just me, or I even considered the bosses really badass to rivalise with Kiryu in fights? I mean, this guy is a beast, and the bosses can give in a good fight, this is insane bro
Bro imagine if this guy just came back in yakuza 8 or some shit with no good reason as to why, that'd be funny as hell
Kiryu vs Sticcbug man
And then he became a super zombie.
Yeah fuck it Dead Souls is canon to me.
Same
After IW released,dead souls BECAME canon because kiryu explains it as one of his dreams
Hayashi is the only character that can pull that move 7:35 and look badass
1:05 what is that counter move?
When Kaoru is with you in a fight, press triangle before an enemy hits you.
I dont know why but I've always hated his face since Yakuza 1
Sphere Code I guess you just don't care for arrogant mo-ther-fuck-ers. Lol
This guy kinda looks like the Japanese comedian Koji Higashino
I wonder if pipe Hayashi is reusing Lau Ka Long's dual sword moveset?
Thanks for nothing, Kaoru
No Evil itself ost?
Does anyone know the track that plays when you fight him?

Yakuza 2 version
Kuwabara really fell off after YuYu Hakusho huh
well,i beat the legend in max state
The combat in this game is sooooo bad
The classic one is better.
SEGA downgraded his fight very hard, now it's fucking shit, Yakuza 2 Hiroshi Hayashi was the best boss battle of all time, badass scenes and some shit, but this? It's not badass at all :(
