Ichibans friend looks like homeless Hideo Kojima
I know, right?!
Homeless Kojima, a man denied his home.
Lmaoo.
That wasn't Hideo?!
It's actually the dude that played Hideaki Anno in the drama Blue Blazes.
Never met his parents, always alone except for his Dragon Quest games
When he finally finds someone who really cares about him, he made him spend almost 20 years in jail.
And when he finally gets out, he's completely alone all again...
But he still smiles, he still dreams about Dragon Quest, he still keeps fighting
What a great caracter, we truly welcome you, Ichiban
:) well said.
Well
Spoilers
Ya know
He met his dad.
Arakawa is his father
He’s the karp becoming a dragon going up the waterfall through the gate and then roaring like a dragon when he’s through it
Ichiban is a just a good boi. He walks in a room and you can't help smiling. All I wanted for this game was him to be happy. For all the shit he went through he never stopped being himself. They did an amazing job writing a new protagonist after Kiryu.
It's just those simple words "I wanted to be a hero" is childlike and somewhat nostalgic to be that mindset again...memories
:)
SAME! This game surprised the fuck out of me in all the right wheys.
This. This is a moment that I feel that a lot of RPGs fail to create in their own stories. It's these kind of moments that really ring out and make you think about them from time to time.
There are so many great moments in this game and this might be my favorite.
I'll remember this scene for a long time.
@@crispyjeb exactly, I haven’t felt like a kid again in so long having an OST and a cutscene mesh so well giving an experience of a lifetime
This game does such an amazing job at characterization it's insane. Between the bond conversations, random chats while walking, conversations after eating, and actual cutscenes it'd be impossible for me NOT to care about each and every character down to their core. It also helps that they did a really good job on the English dub and the VAs seemed to have put a lot of effort into it (so many dubs just feel lifeless with 0 emotional range).
This make us relate and care so much to the character. So many RPG game missing that.
I’m almost thirty four, not the most perfect adult, and this when I reached it hit hard. I’m glad this is my first Yakuza game with my love of Dragon Quest and games in this vein.
yeah, this scene really resonated with me as well.
Jesus loves you
@@scrubbingdoubles8585
Nah, he dead.
@@scrubbingdoubles8585 his dad doesn't like that
Crossovers like this should always be aloud, it makes things so much more heartwarming, grounded and based.
Heh, based
Based on what
@@pizzatime1901 based on deez nuts
It's not really a crossover to be honest.
*BASED*
"Why not become a hero at forty, right?"
Worked for Hendrik
That mountain of a man. He can do it.
Worked for the Dragon Quest V hero as well, he became a dad and everything.
...although, he started the adventure as a kid, so...
Fun Fact: Hendrik is also played by Rikiya Koyama (Taiga Saejima).
And here i thought having that kind of mindset as an adult is very childlike but seeing ichiban saying it with so much confidence really make me love his character already. Probably my favorite character of all time now from the yakuza series
I'm currently on medical school wanting to become a doctor so I can become a "hero" as well lol
Hell yeah Hero! I very much agree with your statement and best of luck with you schooling! 💪
@@crispyjeb Ayyyy thank you so much!
'When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.' -- CS Lewis
Keep grinding for those experience, fellow Hero.
My guy gonna become nanba
@@awangjuhailliawangjolkepli3695
Let's hope he doesn’t go all the way, with the smuggling and all.
(That was a joke.)
Even a Yakuza loves Dragon Quest, the importance of this saga is amazing in Japan.
Also note that Dragon Quest is inspired by many western rpg like Wizardry.
Dragon Quest actually has a long history with the Yakuza for some reason. There's an urban legend that you can bypass the normal requirements to join them if you can speedrun Dragon Quest 3 fast enough. Japanese speedrunners still wear suits when they stream DQ3 as a sort of in-joke that they are trying out for the Yakuza.
@@Basileus127 Joining the mafia with a video game speedrun... sounds very Japanese
I haven’t even played this yet and this scene is making me a bit emotional.
Ichiban is a total sweetheart. This man deserves all the hugs in the world! 😭😭
totally, I love the guy!
One of my favorite new characters.
Yoko Taro: Nooooo, Yazuka can't cross over with Dragon Quest, it'll swallow the whole Japanese games industry!
Ichiban: Haha, imagination go brrrrr!
He really said that?
or did he say something similar?
@@leonardodeabreu3874 essentially a shit post, さすが
@@leonardodeabreu3874 He begged Atlus to stop making Persona games because he said atlus would eat his games alive. This, I believe, came after Automata.
Look up "Yoko Taro and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Atlus Game"
@@LoliconSamalik Atlus: If Taro says that, that means our games work! Let’s do the reverse of what he wants!
@@leonardodeabreu3874 yoko taro was talking about one of atlus projects (that just got a trailer) called Refantasia (Now called Metaphor Re Fantazio) which he describe that if atlus is gonna start doing pure fantasy RPGs, he is screwd 'cause that's his genre, it was on a interview some time ago when atlus was announcing stuff
Next, this game needs a spin-off where Ichiban gets isekai'd into another world and becomes a hero.
There totally should be. I mean back in 2018, Kiryu basically willed himself as Kenshiro in the Fist Of The North Star universe after the Like A Dragon Online reveal trailer.
It wouldn't be out of the question if we get Yakuza x Dragon Quest. Sega just needs to make that collaboration happen with Square-Enix.
And Kiryu is an actual dragon.
Imagine Majima though.
Hey kenzan and dead souls are a thing so i wouldnt say thats impossible
That’s what I did in Miitopia lol
That sounds like absolute trash....
now if I throw my entire life savings a Sega and threaten suicide do you think they'd do it?
As a kid, Ichiban wanted to be a hero.
As a kid, I wanted to be a bloody Jedi.
As a kid I wanted to be a power ranger.
arent they hero?
As a kid, I wanted to be akiyama
@@iitianwannabe It's obvious what he means by Hero lmao. don't act dumb
Im 25 and i aspire to be general grievous
Im pretty sure I know who Ichiban mains in Smash.
Saeko mains Mythra/Pyra and Zhao mains Joker confirmed?
Han Joon Gi would be that one kid that wishes Goku or Kiryu in smash.
@@Vali_Z4ne He would main Cloud
@@Vali_Z4ne Wait, does this mean that the Yakuza games exist within the Yakuza universe? Mind. Blown.
Adachi would definitely main Ganondorf or one of the other superheavies
What a great character to hold the torch for the next Yakuza games.
@Hamonion Dragonfish 😀
What we got from this scene:
It’s never too late to start grinding for something in life. 👌🏼
let's go!
Correct!
I remember before the game was released everyone said how ichiban was gonna be a bad character and the game wasn't gonna be good because of it's turned based combat but I'm a few hours into this game and holy hell ichiban is relatable all he wants to do is help people but alot of people tend to shit and make fun of him despite his status as a Yakuza/ ex Yakuza his love and kindness for those around him inspires me to be a hero just like him
I love that. Thanks for writing in.
I really love the story of like a dragon but the turn based combat was a little difficult to adjust to but i think it allows for easier combat between multiple characters rather than the combat of the previous games being essentially kiryu fighting by himself even with allies but ichiban and co are definitely a great cast and feel more like a group of friends than close allies (that's the feeling i got from the other games at least)
Greg Chun and Kaiji Tang nailed it. Props to both VA's!!!
totally.
Greg Chun worked with RGG before in the spin-off game Judgment
@@davidtimmer596 I'm aware
Not a fan of Tang’s Ichiban but Chun did a great job
“YOU’RE KILLIN’ IT!”
This scene was a beautiful wholesome moment in the game. Fresh start for the franchise a new city a new protagonist all of it was wholesome, especially after that Yakuza 6 depressing ending.
I swear if you ask me what was my favorite chapter in the game I'd say chapter 3 it felt really a breath of fresh air.
We all wished we had a friend like Ichiban.
I’m shocked they actually used Dragon Quest... you figure as a Sega Product they would use Phantasy Star or Shining Force... also can’t Square (Enix) sue them 😂😂😂
haha if I was Enix I wouldn't get too mad about free word of mouth advertising! I'm actually looking forward to trying Dragon Quest 11 soon.
@@crispyjeb it depends on the company you know if they mentioned zelda,nintendo would sue for sure
The producer actually is a great fan of Dragon Quest! Thats why Yakuza Like a Dragon turned out to be a turn based jrpg, after that he met up with Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest creator), Horii actually let him use the name of the franchise in Yakuza 7
Dragon Quest is crazy poplular in the Japan. Even if never played JRPGs you've probably heard about it. Think of it like Final Fantasy for us.
Pretty sure, Sega has talked with Square Enix about before releasing the game.
Yakuza creator Nagoshi asked Dragon Quest creator for permission to use the name & he accepted. Nagoshi loved DQ.
This got me so excited when I was playing, Ichiban and Namba really are a dynamic duo and their friendship grows so strong, it makes me want to aspire to be a hero, almost forgot for a bit that the real world is a lot harsher to people who try to do the right thing, such a good game.
well said.
We all need to be heroes now.
I am here on March 8th, 2024 rewatching this cutscene for no particular reason 🥹
I'm not crying, you're crying.
Ichiban: im over 40
Me: but you looks like 30
So where does this fit in the Dragon Quest timeline?
haha, that's a question for smarter people then me.
Kiryu is an amazing, almost mythical, hero to admire but Ichiban is the kind of hero you can relate to.
This is so... heart warming...
Yeah. This is one of my favorite scenes. Ichiban is one of my favorite characters I’ve played. This game is an instant classic.
@@crispyjeb I finished the game a couple of days ago, it's a way better than I expected, even that uncomfortable feeling that I should be doing something productive meanwhile I'm playing disappeared, it's probably the best game I ever played.
Ichiban should have seen Dragonquest XI running on a Switch, after he freed from prison
His mind would be blown, he was in prison from 2001-2019, meaning the last DQ game he played would have been 7 on the ps1
ps5
It always shocks me how different Nanba's voice is between the dubs
But lowkey at first I only knew about this game because of Ichiban and Dragon Quest (favorite game btw) and now seeing how Dragon Quest impacted Ichiban's life it makes it heartwarming especially how this series succeeds where other RPGs fail, in writing.
Now I wanna see a Yakuza X Persona series.
I relate to ichiban on too many levels and it kinda scares me
the best part of this game is slowly realizing that Ichiban is living up to his dream. he isn't just being childish. he's not just cosplaying as a hero. he IS a hero.
I look up a lot to Kiryu and I love Majima's insanity, but Ichiban's case is something one can relate the most, he deserves a spot among the RGG legends.
Thought he was going to talk about the confusing timeline Dragon Quest had.
The soundtrack really makes this scene 10x better, the whole games soundtrack is fucking top tier, its almost a competitor with Yakuza 0, besides the battle tracks, most of them anyways!
So it’s yakuza but like a dragon quest..... ok I get it now.
I think this is a really smart way to change the franchise (or at least this game alone) into a turn based combat.
You can find our full playthrough here: ruclips.net/p/PLrDrNULeWwAgnL7_36gg2h0EQEThy0DL7
People might not like the change to turn based battles but goddamn if you dont love ichiban kasuga theres something wrong with you. He’s such a great character
Now if i could only find out how they came up with the idea for his hair
I don't get why people are pissed off that they changed the combat. Just replay the older games, there's 7 of them, and that's not including remakes or spin-offs, of which there's plenty. I'm just glad the series has taken a new, interesting direction.
@@lonelyshpee7873 Best part is, the turn based combat still has the usual Yakuza ridiculousness and is the best turn based combat in recent years. The combat everyone wishes FF would go back to
@@MashedPotajoe
Hey, Ichiban agrees with you.
It was cutscenes like this that made Like A Dragon so good, quiet moments where Ichiban bonds with his friends. Yeah life beat them down, but they'll stand back up and win like the heroes they are
"I always wanted to be a hero, before I joined the Yakuza, Like a Dragon slayer."
📝🔥🔥🔥
When I first see him on trailer and game cover, I thought he's going to be annoying arrogant youngster that always act cool.
But I was wrong, In fact, Ichiban Kasuga is one of the most likeable and relatable protagonist
true.
It always got me. The interaction from Yakuza game. Really make me grin like an idiot hearing these two talk.
Crazy to learn that when Like a Dragon 7 came out at the end of 2020, I was playing DQXI. Then, my brother wants me to play Like a Dragon series, so I started it last year at October with Kiryu Saga. Then, Judgment and LAD7. Now, it’s fun to be a fan of both Dragon Quest and Like a Dragon.
If it wasn't for Pokémon Sword and Shield to derailed all my motivation for on-going mainline Pokémon games that I buy after the 3DS era then I would have never played DQXI on my switch. One of the most enjoyable RPG games that I ever played in my life, and then I randomly found this game and didn't know what the fuck I was getting into but once I did I instantly got hooked on it as well. Ichiban is one of my favorite protagonist of all times, he is too fucking funny with his love for Dragon Quest and so cool that he is not always the happy-go-lucky fellow that I thought he would be!
He is all ready a hero might not be in his world but he is to us who play the game and experience all of the work him and his friends go through. We get mad when he gets mad. we cry when he crys. No matter how you look at it he is a hero he just doesn't know to whom
love to remember in this moment i was totally hooked from this game,yakuza 7 was my first when it came out and now i played the whole franchise except ishin and the zombie game.420 peace from germany .damn cant wait see ichiban again n play yakuza 8
This is what makes me love yakuza 7. At the start of the game, i feel like i didn't know why did they make it turn base rpg. After this cutscene, I'm sorry to say, the other yakuza not as good as this. Still, this just my own opinion though.
This is the first jrpg yet alone turn based game I ever played. I love it. Also is the first Yakuza game I’m attempting new game plus on and even doing on hard and legendary mode even if I get my butt kicked multiple times. I’ve played 0, Kiwami 1 Kiwami 2 and 3-6.
What is your favorite Ichiban moment from the game?
The ending. Best acting in the game.
All ichiban's moments are good ichiban's moments
His first encounter with Bleach Japan, when he tells them he didn’t mind being raised by prostitutes and threatens to dump a trash bin full of jizz rags on them.
When he gets loose in the torture room and beats the shit out of a bunch of would be executioners before saving his friends.
Ichiban headbutting the guy uncovering him inside the cardboard box with a jolly ol greeting
Im glad I got into Ichiban's character. I wanna live my life like him. Reference games, get looks, but Im still true to myself and I show this is how I grow
See, this is what I love about Ichiban. Guy’s the definition of “a kid at heart.” Yeah, it may sound a bit corny to say that your childhood dream was to be a hero (and he admits as much), but he’s got a childlike worldview, and rather than treat him like a joke character, the game uses him to say, “You’ve got that inner child too, y’know. Don’t let the world snuff it out. You can use it to do something good.” Basically, he’s the foil of Sundowner from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance; instead of being in touch with the “cruel” part of one’s inner child, Ichiban is in touch with the part that says, “Nobody’s beyond saving, you look out for your friends even if they take a different path from you, and the world can be a bad place, but we can try to make it better.” Of course, the moments when reality hits him tend to hurt that much more because of it, but he never loses that innocence. Sorry for the long-ass essay; this is just what I find so endearing about this bat-wielding, possibly brain-damaged Dragon Quest fan-turned-ethical-gangster/vigilante. If I had to pick anyone from Yakuza to be my friend...well, the list would be fairly long, but Ichiban would be high up there.
Well said! Like A Dragon Was my first Yakuza game and I immediately fell in love with it and Ichiban.
Ichiban is too pure for the world.
I finally just finished this game and its so awesome.
Yes! I absolutely loved it as well!
Thank you for the sub my friend and welcome to the channel.
YT blocked your comment for some reason and I didn't see it until now.
Just wanted to take the time to say thanks!

The Yakuza series is so special. I really found this inspiring!
I think so too!

Felt like shit today, this clip made me feel a helluva lot better.
hell yeah! i'm glad!
Fuck now I wanna play yakuza like a dragon now, I played all of Kiryu saga but stopped at 6
God I love this game. Absolutely fantastic storytelling and gameplay.
100%
Kiryu is smiling at them from okinawa…
such a wholesome scene
God I love Ichiban
It’s actually a pretty good English dub from what I’m seeing here.
Yeah the English cast did an amazing job! That's how I played through the whole game. I mean, they got George Takei!
Nanba's wheeze I swear lmfao
God, I love this game so much.
me too!
I rewatch this scene and this video once a week. I didn't play I'm English, but it's fun to heat them speak. The reason I play it so much is just the fact that, for some reason, this scene makes me almost cry. It's such a relatable scene to me because, like Ichiban, I wanted to be a hero when I grew up. "Life is work" is a true statement, but this reminds me to have that dream and keep it. I've never had a video game that has inspired me more than Yakuza 7.
I love that, thanks for sharing!
I honestly feel the same way & I'm supper excited for the new game!
I'm pretty sure that after those words he would take the title of Erdrick
How the hell can a series not only get away with replacing a legendary protagonist like Kiryu but do such an amazing job that Ichi would make me laugh or weep constantly depending on the situation for 77 hours. He's incredible and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are top tier.
In other words:
You're never too old to start your life or to start over.
true.
did saeko knew ichiban's imagination of battle vision that turned his enemies into monsters?
I love JRPG and turn bases genre, but I really surprised when they announced Yakuza 7 will be using turn based system, and it turner to be one of turn based rpg with great mechanic.
This game really came out of nowhere and surprised me. I put 70 hours into it and enjoyed just about every second of it. I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled not just by an JRPG, but any game. Absolutely loved the world and character (this is also my first Yakuza game), and it was really awesome to see a studio figure out how to do turn based combat but make it feel kinetic and almost real time. I can't wait for the next one.
Watching this as I play DQ9
:)
Don't care if fancy like a castle or shit like rags on floor... As long you comfortable, that's all that matters
TO THE HEROES OF TOMORROW!!
Huzza!
Even in a video game, video games help people
“Like a Dragon”, the name promised by it’s Game

4:16
well its either that or just eat all the money you get in contact with.
Hell yeah Kanji!!!
Is it weird to say I want Ichiban in smash bros instead of Kiryu?
Anybody know the name of the track that plays at the end of this scene? Been looking for it on the OST and cant find it
ruclips.net/video/NfQ4ukynlCg/видео.html
It’s called Friendship.
I wonder if, when Ichiban learned about the MMO DQ (Dragon Quest X), he made an account and enjoyed it. I'd laugh really hard if Ichiban joined a team and admitted he's been playing since the start then someone asks how old he is but then he awkwardly reveals he was in prison for 20 years.
After playing through the game, 0:40 hits different
man, I love this game so much.
need to do another playthrough soon.
I've been seeing so many dub clips in this game i've just realized they redo all the lip-sync too.
Most games I know would just dub the voices but keep the jp lipsync. +Points for AtlusWest for the localization, truly a good one even though it's still feels weird after 7 games of non-dubs.
Question though, do they still get the OG Yakuza PS2 dub actors for characters like Kiryu or Majima?
I can see how this seems weird for a lot of old Yakuza players. I'm new to the series so it all was very natural to me and the English voice cast was really good throughout. You're totally right about the lip synch. If they didn't go that extra step it would not have been as enjoyable. As far as your question about the dub actors, it seems like they did use the same actor for Kiryu, Darryl Kurylo.
Which Dragon Quest game was out in 1999 before he went to prison for 18 years?
Dragon quest one through six I believe.
@@crispyjeb God damn he enters during SNES graphics he comes out to PS4 HIS MIND MUST BLOWN A LOAD ATLEAST TEN TIMES!!

Pre timeskip was 2000. He went to jail shortly after the turn of the new year, 2001. 7 came out on PS1 in August of 2000 in Japan, so he was probably playing that one.
