What makes Kuwana so good in my opinion is the fact that he _feels_ like a playable character; he has all of the options Yagami does. Even moves that in other games would be player-exclusive like Sky Dancer and the Flow parry. If he could juggle you it'd be the closest thing to Yakuza PvP outside of just outright implementing PvP.
Yeah something I love about yakuza bosses, especially more important ones, is that they PLAY like a playable character (part of why moveset swapping is so popular), bosses will usually have dash attacks or parries, even heat actions sometimes and it just makes it feel all the more dynamic
@@glodrug7172 Exactly! Shibusawa was cool because he had rush, beast, and brawler but Mine is high up there for me since he can freely switch between the styles he has instead of pre-determined phases that only change based on health.
I like it how Kuwana takes Yagami's moves and either completely copies them or tries to turn them into something else Also please keep making the boss moveset videos i love them so much
Glad you like them :) sadly I wouldn’t know who to make it on, I only thought it was a cool idea due to how complex Lost Judgment’s boss movesets weirdly were. Maaaybe if I get Some heavily demanded bosses to do a video on I’ll make another
@@glodrug7172 What about Lao Gui? He has three movesets, which would be pretty good to make a video about.

You also didn't even do Tesso yet, so I think you should do that next.
Fire thumbnail, fire editing, fire music transitions, just absolutely fantabulous. Just when I thought your Soma and Akutsu videos were great you top it, hats off to you. Excited for Tesso and Watanabe!
This video is so sick. Also you’re objectively right about Kuwana being the best boss in the series honestly. Very rarely has a boss made me go “holy shit WHAT” when they did an attack, and Kuwana did it all 3 of his fights.
Okay so, I got bored and tried to implement Kuwana's moveset into a potential playable fighting style.

Love the ending to your video! Laughed so hard at the cat jam and the floating guy, captures my reaction to Kuwana's absolute banger of an OST perfectly.
Y'know, it makes me think. I wonder why they didn't give him Tiger's charged attacks? It's kind of hard to notice that he even uses tiger in his fights. I think Kuwana's only attack that has Tiger's red aura is his 7 hit combo.
This is really cool. This is the first time I've seen someone do a 'movelist exhibition' for boss characters for any sort of game. Keep it up! I love it!
Mine is the best boss. Think about it: he is the only boss in entire franchise, who can freely swap styles at will. Not just merge them together, but switch between them.
He does not have shibusawa’s moveset, but I can see how you’d think that, they look pretty similar. The final boss of the DLC does actually use shibusawa though
@@glodrug7172 see that looks like it right, but I’ve had it on both him and Amon where it goes a lot farther, almost like he’s doing the skateboard attack.
I love Kuwana as a character and his themes, but am I the only one who felt like he was too easy? His 1st fight made me actually level up for the first time in the game, and his 2nd one I had to retry a few times, but by the time you've upgraded all of your abilities the 3rd fight felt the easiest by far, with Soma 2 being much more difficult in my experience.

Yeah like someone already pointed out this is probably the most 'playable' boss there has been so far since Mine.
@@glodrug7172 I remember I was so shocked when playing kiwami for the first time and Nishiki face stomped me. Like wtf you have heat actions too???
Kuwana is also one of the most well written characters in the series.
Ngl, I was kinda rooting for him over Yagami at some points, lol.
Not one of the most , he is the most well written without any doubt
I like it how Kuwana takes Yagami's moves and either completely copies them or tries to turn them into something else

my man just drops the sickest kuwana edit as nothing but the INTRO to his video. Huge respect.
I like how every bosses in this game have thier own effect now instead of just red effect like in YK2 and Y6
I'm just glad they brought back the way bosses just ignite from those games

I know I'm 2 years late (lol), but I think that Kuwana's Mortal Attack could be better as a Mortal Reversal. Everything else is fine
Love the ending to your video! Laughed so hard at the cat jam and the floating guy, captures my reaction to Kuwana's absolute banger of an OST perfectly.
I love these moveset showcases you make man, hope you keep these coming cause ill be here for them
As a modder I greatly appreciate this! The video has some good editing man, thanks for making it and enjoy the like
damnn that intro was clean

Thanks for the time you put into this, will surely come in handy while modding!
Jin Kuwana a based character of a based game great boss fight
I've rewatched this intro way more than I care to admit.
Editing had no business being this good
Great job with this. I can't even imagine how long it might've took to record all of this. Let alone compiling it and editing.
I did not know I needed this kind of video until now.
I love your intro
It fucking good
Fantastic intro!!!
When i was watching this video i didn't even realise the music transition it was so clean i'd even rewind it just to find the transition tbh ngl
The intro tho🔥🔥🔥
Awesome freakin dynamic intro
3:56 yea in this part of the music you think that you're a god rn
1:54 apparently he also has rush style
I think it's Just tiger basic combo but way faster
Remember Kuwana mixes his style
The best boss fight
1:58 RARE dancing yagami
Music goes hard
I approve this video
It would be cool if you do a video on yakuza 6 bosses because they all have unique movesets
Mine is the best boss. Think about it: he is the only boss in entire franchise, who can freely swap styles at will. Not just merge them together, but switch between them.
Don't know how I realized but I think he has shibusawas moveset mixed with his interpretations of Yagami's moves
He does not have shibusawa’s moveset, but I can see how you’d think that, they look pretty similar. The final boss of the DLC does actually use shibusawa though
Omw to practice his entire moveset even though I take MMA classes and know almost nothing about Kung-fu
Kuwana has some sweet moves right?
Will you showcae Kuroiwa's moveset?
Tbh i almost thought his style was like wing chun due to the stance, but his style seems similar to yagami
You should do Mitsuru Kuroiwa next
I love this series, any chance of one on Kenmochi and the big bad of Kaito Files?
I think you forgot the attack where HE SLIDES ACROSS THE ENTIRE ARENA
1:28 bestie
@@glodrug7172 see that looks like it right, but I’ve had it on both him and Amon where it goes a lot farther, almost like he’s doing the skateboard attack.
@@tombraiserzombie2581 might depend on how far yagami is from him, just so the attack hits consistently yknow
@@glodrug7172 yeah, suppose that makes sense. Just kinda odd that no one else has really seen it.
since you mentioned shibusawa, maybe you could do him and lao gui next?
Can you do Kuroiwa?
Next do Kisuke Watanabe moveset.

Soma did knock out yagami with one kick
KUWANA didn't win once
@@bingusgaming3635 Not true. In their second fight they were even, which is difficult, because canonically not even Kuroiwa was even with Yagami
I know this video is old af, but could you maybe do tesso's moveset??

how about a Shirakaba or Iwami showcase?
So why we dont get kuwana as playable dlc chara? Instead we get (the reused kiryu) kaito...
Would you like to do the Judgment boss Moveset
He's got that white silver effect just like Kiryu tho
Lol do some random ass boss fight like Watase
based
Kuroiwa pls, Kuroiwa is cooler
kuroiwa more like BADroiwa
kuwaner better 😎
