This song bangs, but I feel a lot of sadness when I hear it. This was probably the worst day Kiryu ever had. Two of his closest friends were killed in front of him, and that wasn't even the end of it, because later on his father figure got killed. Then he had to fight his own brother who died too. When I hear this track I just feel Kiryu's anger and pain.
Man... it's a wonder how Kiryu holds himself together. In the span of a week, he's lost more than any one person could ever loose. His love interest (Yumi), one of his best friends (Shinji), his father figure (Shintaro), and his brother (Nishiki). It's a good thing he has a will that's stronger than steel. I guess they don't call him the "Dragon of Dojima" for nothing.
@micah9835 nah she's pretty close to kiryu. If she was still alive I'm sure kiryu would've found a way in his heart to forgive her for what she has done
@@Rexet1961 Fun fact: In Yakuza 3 Kiryu forgives the man who unalived Shinji (Doesn't mention Reina for some reason) That was in a Side mission in Yakzua 3 called Hitman Missions

this game series changed and helped my life. i discovered this series in a very hard time, but this game series helped me a lot, since i knew about this franchise, my life turned for the better, i dont know how my life would be without the game, i just know that since i played one game of them, i bought every other game, no regrets so far, and so far i dont think i will ever regret ever buying a game from them, its a literal lifechanging game experience. i cant think of another series that is as good as this is
I think this song itself will be always iconic to me. This is the first game I played in the franchise through PS Free Month. I had my doubts but absolutely loved so much with it. Then I played Kiwami 2, than 0, 6, 3, 4, and now 5. While a lot of the Yakuzas are better than this game. I will always remember this game for being the game that kicked me into playing this franchise.
I played 0 before this but I wasn't really grabbed by it. I bought kiwami on a whim and now I'm addicted to these games. It was for a stupid reason though, in 0 I just wanted to rush the story/substories and it left me super broke and the final levels starting from kuze's last fight are a slog if you only had like 5 skills. In kiwami though, having the upgrades be actual experience points helped me not be stingy with them and I loved the game way more as a result
@@live_kaito_reaction For some reason I always get the urge to rush through Yakuza games. I waited until 22 February to get all the remasters and I've already almost finished Y5
Tips on fighting Arase or any gun boss: Get an armor that protects you against bullets and boom. Bullets now only make Kiryu trip, he won't do the animation of getting severly wounded. You can also get the ability to not flinch by knife and gun attacks as long as you're in heat mode. But it's hard to keep heat so not the best option. It's great if you have the War God Talisman though.
I know that the boss one of the less liked ones (though that's not saying that much since this is Yakuza Kiwami) but entering with Dragon of Dojima at critical health and having grinded the Majima Everywhere system made this fight really hype
I gotta say tho, even when you dodge everything from him, this fight really is annoying.. He zips around and the fight overstays its welcome by a longshot..
2:59 is best part, which its sister track doesn't have. Now that I'm hearing it again, it's definitely superior to Turning Point which has melody like 1:17 but repeated twice.
I feel like this could be a Payday 2 track, and I really wish I knew how to mod because I would totally work on adding this as a track lol. There isn’t really any part of the track that could be used for stealth though which sucks, but I guess a loud only heist would really fit Yakuza well. 0:00 to 0:42 Control 0:42 to 1:17 Anticipation 1:17 to 1:45 Assault After 1:45 it would just keep on running through those phases.
If you this is okay for you trust me kiwmai 2 and yakuza 6 add even better music x10 but my fav has to be kiwmai 2 but i never played zero so it may change
Hearing this song for the first time (i.e. when the game started up): Oh, hey this is pretty cool When it plays in game: ARASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"Virtical Point" would be totally out of place in Danganronpa. It'd be as fucking weird as choosing a flamenco song to play during _fatalities_ in Mortal Kombat.
Doing this fight in rush style is just a costant string of **teleports behind you** for both parties
**Turns around** constant string of what
For me with rush style, it's taking "let's dance" a bit too literal.
**Takes away 3/4 of your health with one gun combo**
@source6893 more like kills you with a gun stunlock
@@Sharkamfssjust weave and quickstep smh
And here's another case of "Hate the boss fight, LOVE the music"
Arase wasn't honestly all that bad, Jingu on the other hand...
Boss fight was fine... Unless you're referring to what he did to initiate the fight, which was honestly pretty bad.
Jingu itself isn't bad, but his colonels is on different league
The character is awful and deserves a more brutal beatdown, the boss fight itself was fun if you're using Rush only. Nowhere near as bad as Jingu.
@@Zyrikun arase wasn't terrible, still slightly annoying if you're me and had 0 damn clue how to even use rush style lol, jingu was terrible tho
