@@chip5416 I would say Saejima is also Kiryu's equal as well, not to mention Dragon and Tiger also depicted as equal and represent heaven and earth according to Japan's folklore..
Damn, if you look closely at 1:17 it looks like Kiryu was about to throw a punch, but instead used it as a fake for a kick, but Majima still saw through it and dodged
@@capitatecab6049 They've been fighting each other for a Looooong time. I'm sure they could probably damn near use elements of each others style by this point.
If you look at his Kiryu's moveset, one of his signature moves is his fakeout punch, kick combo. It's crazy how they studied each other's moves so closely.
2:33 this part is so cool, like Majima is using lessons he learned from his fights with Nishitani and going on full offence while his blade is in the air
He does during karaoke but it's honestly so hilarious to have a serious moment between kiryu and majima and I keep getting distracted by the fact majima still has the construction helmet on.
In the case of Kiwami 2, he takes it off in karaoke and doesn’t have it at all in the Majima Saga. In the case of the original game though? Yeah, that thing is basically welded onto his head lol.
nah they're not enemies. they're best buds who like to share their part of their day by throwing punches and knives to the gut, also electrocuting the other, putting a bullet in the other's chests. you know, the usual best friend stuff.
They weren’t even enemies in the first place. Majima just wanna duke it out with Kiryu and help him train for a bit, hence he let him go during Sera’s funeral or take a knife for Kiryu and Kiryu knows that
A little thing that i like about that ending is when kiryu lend his hand to majima, majima gets up by himself, but in the yakuza 3 afterfight he accepts the help, that's so cool to me
Pointing this out... this is arguably the fight that confirms Kiryu and Majima are perfect rivals; they know each other's moves, each other's way of doing things, and each other's ups and downs. It's fair to say that every time they fight from here on out, they know who's in the right and wrong and who needs to listen.
0:19 I love majima`s entrance in the 3 round tournament, and especially when he dances with the fireworks go off with him holding his signature knifu and safety helmet. it gives me joker vibes about him. well at this point they are basically yakuza versions of batman and joker
Receive You Prototype playing, the crowd cheering the fight, that dynamic intro with badass Kiryu and swaggy Majima dodging that kick, that's how you hype up a fight!
I've always loved this Kiryu vs Majima battle the most out of all their fights. This is the ONE fight in the entire series that captures Kiryu's one and only true rival and equal; Goro Majima. (Aside from Saejima), there is not a single character in the series who can go toe to toe with Kiryu like this and laugh it off after being beaten or come out of it basically unscathed.
Knowing how many people Majima's/Nishitani's knife combo heat action takes down, and seeing Kiryu interrupt it like it's nothing, shows how impressive Kiryu truly is as a fighter
after playing the underground fights in yakuza 0 as majima. this feels like when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. but for the plot majima has to lose sadly. personally, i think majima's mad dog style is superior to kiryu's dragon of dojima but he holds back because he sees his former self in kiryu and hates to see him go down the same path that made him to be as psychopathic as he became
I absolutely love how they brought back Receive You The Prototype for this fight, just like in the original 2. They knew how good that track was and had to bring it back.
You know,maybe it's just me but I REALLY dislike how in Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 developers removed different boss auras,they gave so much personality to bosses before,now everybody just boringly red and that's it.
Imma have to agree with xellosdarkslayer here. I don't find it too much as a problem. Just a slight nitpick. I loved the unique auras. Especially Ryuji's. His lightning dragon aura was part of many things that made him one of the best Yaluza antagonists ever. The red aura was ok but it will never come close to his lightning aura.
@@patrik9328 and demon tatoo. Also, i think he fights more like a Mad Dog than a Demon(Dogs being more instinct based while Demons rely on dirty tricks, both characteristics of Majima. I just see him more inclined to his primal instincts, but mixes in dirty tactics in between moves).
I find it really funny that people say the rag doll physics aren’t realistic as if the the flames coming off of them while they fight and literally Majima’s fighting styles are
2:34 Look carefully at the movements, and you'll see this is the exact same QTE sequence from his fight in Yakuza 5, except Kiryu ends it in a different way.
Majima knows what's up, bringing a helmet and a knife to a Kiryu fight
This is Kiwami 2, so you'd think he learned a lesson about fighting the Dragon by now after the 170 non cannon and the 21 cannon beat downs

God Kiryu trying and failing to hold in a smile at his best friends shenanigans is the single best thing ive ever seen
Kiryu: Yeah, that is just classic him!
He probably feels pain from smiling because he rarely does
@@Sgil97 For real, but he toughs it out i guess
"i surprise myself at how much i missed his random shit"
Homosexual gay gay
“fair and square”
*has knife*
He's fighting someone who can reduce stone to dust
Also the knife that majima has is made of rubber, obviously
"has a knife"
Then it is a fair fight
He’s only got one eye. Majima’s gotta tip it back somehow.
In a street fight, everything is fair.
I really wanted it to say *"Goro Majima: President of the Majima Construction Company"* or something similar xD
GORO MAJIMA
PRESIDENT OF MAJIMA CONSTRUCTION,
AUTHOR OF THE BEST COMPANY ANTHEM
Well, it DOES say this when we meet him, for the first time in this game. I was honestly surprised.
Nah, this is better
@@turoreal true but it still makes more sense for the other one, since he isn't in the Yakuza at that point.
@@arsenal4739 Well i do agree with that, haha.
There’s something about Majima sliding under Kiryu’s kick, his name showing up, and Receive You kicking in that fills me with such indescribable joy

They are like your uncle and his best friend that have lived together for 25 years and adopted a little girl.
Bromance
That’s cause they are even if Kiryu was thinking “For Fucks sake” when he saw the demonfire dagger in storage
@@Hey_its_0nyx That sounds like new Nishiki Theme
I’m gonna say it. They have 100% fucked in the past
1:16 slowed down, you can literally see Majima just *SNAP* into place, and I’m terrified.
Good to see he still isn't rusty
His SPEED is intimidating
Yea and kiryu faked a punch too
Good eye
That's fucking terrifying 😂😂😂
2:45
Kiryu: *hits QTE*
Majima: *Also hits QTE to dodge*
Kiryu: 0_0
I love the variation, because in Yakuza 5 he goes for the same move
Its even more impressive when u realized he dodged that punch from his literal blind spot. Dude must have some sort of spider sense.

Kiryu’s smirk at Majima’s entrance and walking away at the end is priceless.
That’s love & respect right there.

I like this comment
Instead repairing something he became a yakuza
I both hate and love this comment
bob the builder gritty live action reboot where he takes off his shirt to reveal a whole ass yakuza tattoo
Damn Bob the builder has changed so much
love kiryus little smile. like "this fucking guy, man"
4:51 kiryu trying to hold in a smile is so perfect
Majima is one of the few people that Kiryu became close with after he lost his foster family. Kiwami 1 bring those 2 close.
And to think after his bossfight in Yakuza 3, Majima actually takes Kiryu's hand.
Truly they share a bonder closer than brothers.
@@TUCell-ps5mi well i think majima see kiryu as more than a friend.
@@Cakemarvelous they are lovers 👀
Probably a one-sided relationship but still 😂
Majima everywhere made them very close lol.
That punch feint by kiryu never ceases to amaze me
The fact that Majima still dodged the kick after the feint with freakish speed shows just how experienced they are and how well they know each other
0:43 “Yup...that’s my best friend, alright...”
"haha thats my best friend who stabs me and beats me with umbrellas, hes such a quirky wholesome chungus!"
1:14 this was when Kiwami 2 went from good to amazing for me
*Defeat Goro Majima*
He's enjoying this...
Well, you already know, Kiryu-chan.
1:16 That's how you dodge like a boss!
2:33 this part is so cool, like Majima is using lessons he learned from his fights with Nishitani and going on full offence while his blade is in the air
Nishitani was one of the people why he became a legend. A Mad Dog.
Yakuza 5 one is cooler
The fact Majima never once takes off his helmet throughout this whole game kills me
Helmet hair.
Karaoke
He does during karaoke but it's honestly so hilarious to have a serious moment between kiryu and majima and I keep getting distracted by the fact majima still has the construction helmet on.
When he comes to the cabaret club too
In the case of Kiwami 2, he takes it off in karaoke and doesn’t have it at all in the Majima Saga. In the case of the original game though? Yeah, that thing is basically welded onto his head lol.
MAJIMA GOROOOOOOOOOO
Mata de KIRYU-CHAN!
KIRYU-CHAN!!!
Ur pfp makes you look like a junior yakuza my dude
1:16 Can we talk about how freakishly fast Majima is
No
Majima is slimer
And he can also take hits for such a slim body
The task says that Majima enjoys it, which is true from Kiwami 1 times
Put it in 0.25 speed and yeah. There is like 1 frame between Majima running and sliding.
I love when a man said “let’s play fair and square” while armed with dagger and armored with construction helmet
Against someone who throws around Motorcycles and Electric Boxes I think this is fair game.
Lets not forget that later in the Game he dominates two tigers
@@kevinthelazy8073 With a stab wound
@@JuggerBlitz And it was just his second adventure... Good times

Not enemies after Kiwami 1
They weren’t even enemies in the first place. Majima just wanna duke it out with Kiryu and help him train for a bit, hence he let him go during Sera’s funeral or take a knife for Kiryu and Kiryu knows that
I like that little smile at the end there
2:34 for my personal use
Kiryu and Majima: beat the shit out of each other
Also Kiryu and Majima: that was cool, let's chat over some drinks
gosh it's so funny how kiryu can’t stop himself from smiling many times
I love how sincerely hyped Majima actually looks while he’s making the entrance LOL
0:43 when your boyfriend is doing a silly dance to lighten the mood and you have to remind yourself that you are mad at him.
omg this kick from kiryu at the beginning .. so epic i love it
Kiryu smiling at Goro-kun badass entrance
the "i recieve you" theme in the background goes so well with this fight!
yo majima bringing the fresh dance moves
A little thing that i like about that ending is when kiryu lend his hand to majima, majima gets up by himself, but in the yakuza 3 afterfight he accepts the help, that's so cool to me
0:18 I really like that
There's a normal way to dodge a kick
And there's a Majima way
Majima has more muscle mass on his legs confirmed. One front kick is enough to send Kiryu flying
I mean Majima does use his legs more, so it makes some sense.
Black pants are slimming. You can see those strong legs when he's dressed as Goromi
Unstoppable force meets immovable object.
1:17
Majima: I! FEEL! ALIIIIIVE!!
555hiddenlotus imagine if the majima saga had this mission and you read the objective I feel like that phrase would be the description
They're the epitome of "An Unstoppable Force meets an Immovable Object"
goddamn dude i just want a fucking high res wallpaper of that name drop its so fucking sick
Thank you for getting us a cool cinematic experience instead of 9/10 of Majima vs Kiryu videos out there spaming weapons and items. Really apreciated

This was by far my favourite boss battle.
Last champ: Goro Majima

Batman (Kiryu) and Joker (Majima) but friendlier version.......
More like Perry the platypus and Dr doofenshmirtz
Majima was voiced by mark hamill in yakzua 1 on ps2

And Majima still sees it coming.

I love the beginning of this fight. Majima's maniacal laughter and the guitar blend so well here
Goro Majima is the greatest troll in gaming history.

Good opinion, but wrong facts. Komaki states in Kiwami that he can heal in a short time from any damage kiryu can do.

Yo receive you as the boss music for this fight is just too frickin awesome, man i love yakuza
That intro gives me chill, man I love these two
Gotta love how Kiryu goes for a fucking decapitation at the start. These games are so awesome.
You can even see kiryu faking a punch at the beginning so he get a clean head shot on majima

yeah no Kiryu's just straight up stronger in Kiwami 2. The only case where you could say Majima was stronger was Yakuza 0
Goro Majima (Receive you the Prototype).
Fighting Kiryu again after a year of blue balling.
1:18 He looks so damn happy
Receive You is a godlike song
that last body blow was soooo satisfying omg
I like how you can hear Recieve You's bell sounds (or something like it) in this music at the beginning
Majima is the best !! You can see on Kiryu's face mutual respect !
I absolutely love how they brought back Receive You The Prototype for this fight, just like in the original 2. They knew how good that track was and had to bring it back.

You know,maybe it's just me but I REALLY dislike how in Yakuza 6 and Kiwami 2 developers removed different boss auras,they gave so much personality to bosses before,now everybody just boringly red and that's it.
Who cares its a minor issue. Omg aura colors. Fuck off

It a
Jon Brown it wasn’t simply a color. You had to match your style (color) in order to deliver a finish move on a tired boss.
I miss how the auras looked in general back in yakuza 3-5. Now they just look really boring.
That timing of the music at the end was perfect.
majima is one of the only characters that i would see confidently walking out without a shirt under like 6 giant sparklers
2:44 has gotta be the iron first(yakuza 0 "tiger drop" version in his dragon/legend style) counter.
probably the hardest dynamic intro in the series
Promptly beat the shit out of each other, goes get drinks together afterwards. Their friendship is next level.
That was a beautiful intro

That slide from Majimabus made me think it was part of the song, it just sounded so gahd damn cool.
that smile!!!
The fact that majima just casually gets up like nothing happened
Can't wait for Yakuza Kiwami 3 and beyond ...
I'm glad they don't force you to put everything in the item box before this fight like in the original game.
Think it’s funny kiryu and majima consider each other close friends
Now is not the time for gloating with your awesome gameplay
That tiger drop at the end though
This game was very good, but this moment was like, ok I'm bound for an amazing ride. In my head canon they are both equally strong.
