Hope you're all staying safe out there. I know it sucks and can be very boring staying indoors but hopefully this will pass soon and everything can go back to normal. Remember to wash your hands! ❤
Even with his fall, In my eyes Nishiki is a FAR better man than Shindo ever could be. He at least had UNDERSTANDABLE reasons for his fall, but Shindo was just a dick.
36:11 well to be fair kiryu's ancestors were very talented swordsmen. Besides he's clearly been trained well in various armed and unarmed combat and picked up various martial art styles.
Shindo coming back for another go once you've just walked off is probably the only cool thing he does. I don't think I've ever seen another boss in the whole series where you beat them, return to non-combat, and then they charge back up behind you. And he has my favourite boss theme in the game. Weird, for such a throwaway villain.
Aren't the ways the Tojo captains were being killed in reference to what happened during a real life yakuza turf war in the 90's? The guy getting shot to death in an elevator along with his men and the other guy getting shot in his car by guys on a motorcycle?
I haven't played the original yakuza 1, but I think nishiki's turn there was mainly caused by his jealousy with regards to yumi and kiryu (and u know, killing a man I guess..) which is a stupid trope but what can you do, it was the first game and also 2005. But I think they kinda tried to fix that with kiwami 1,with all the added flashback scenes of nishiki during those 10 years, which made his turn a bit more.. Believable? But I think the remnants of yumi being the reason for nishiki and kiryu's fight in the end of 1 is why shindo talks about nishiki like that in the second game
While it's clear how incredibly lame Shindo is, I actually believe he in a way disrespected his patriarch's name. Comparing himself with his former boss, thinking he knew what Nishiki's relationship with Kiryu was all about - what drove him. I don't remember them fighting over Yumi in the last game, as he was only truly interested in becoming Tojo's next acting chairman. Shindo was an small fry acting tough, thinking he knew how to play in the big boy's league :P While I disliked Nishiki in the end, we at least knew he was a good guy once. But he always depended on Kiryu to stay strong and sane. Which is sad when you think about it. He struggled, broke, abandoned all that he loved and admitted betraying Kiryu - for what it's worth not blaming him for anything he himself chose. So I more or less understood and respected his cause and change of character, even if his view on what "being strong" meant was all twisted. Not criticizing what you said though! It just brought up some interesting thoughts :)
At least Daigo did the reasonable thing. Majima greatness, might have taken down a copter or 2 haha The Shindo fight is silly even for Yakuza haha Split him in half with a sword, dude walks back to fight again all fine.
Oh yeah! Shooting him was the only thing he could have done in that sense since he was going to shoot back anyway. I think I'm more worried about the aftermath of killing someone, kind of like Nishikiyama with killing Dojima. But I still feel like Daigo is so much like Kiryu, he'll be fine.
I know I'm pretty early. But if you plan on playing 3. There's 2 separate versions. The PS3 version which is cheaper and the remastered version on PS4 and pc . Just a warning if you're playing on PS3 the translation is pretty rough. Sorry in advance
Shindo : Didn't you and patriarch Nishikiyama go to war over à woman just last year ? Jess : ... NO WE DIDN'T. My exact reaction when I played x'D Also, with the way Shindo was acting with Yayoi, I can understand Daigo. She is his mother after all. I would have killed him too.
I hate Shindo a lot. Not only he’s a ruthless and vile character, but also his boss fight in the first yakuza pissed me off so much. Got the Nishikiyama Family to back him up, making it easy for him swing his damn sword at me. At least in the second game it’s not too bad, since it’s a one on one fight. Still... he has to use his sword to aid him. I rather fight Majima a billion times over, than Shindo.
Oh i don't think the blond is even genetic I absolutely think he's the kind of idiot who would bleach his hair eyebrows included. Yes even when he's like 10 in 0 cmon he's ridiculous enough for that ! I think it's the second time in the game where he's all "lol my bad my boys are trigger happy i didnt order this" and that's... not a great look if you want to be a leader uh Honestly resentful as he is i think if he wanted to kill his dad he'd already have done it I love that all the blood on Majima comes from his head, the one place that has actual protection. Shindo is a piece of shit but I love the "but i loved Dead Guy Sohei" like he wasn't also a scummy rapist. That said i dont think they could really just throw him out and keep the rest because the loyalty system seems to almost be feudal level of following the individual you're sworn to whether right or wrong because Oaths rather than the larger organisation
I guess you have a point. Unless he's trying to play a cruel way where he's waiting for the right moment to kill his father. Majima needs a new hard hat lol
Hope you're all staying safe out there. I know it sucks and can be very boring staying indoors but hopefully this will pass soon and everything can go back to normal. Remember to wash your hands! ❤
Hi
I love your video keep it up
Thx you too
I wish I could stay home. Our workplace is still open. (Cheap clothing store in England).
@Moonlight Ninja sorry to hear that. I hope at least your workplace is taking precautions to keep you guys safe!
Daigo: THIS IS FOR THE TOJO FAMILY! *bang*
Daigo: (internally) Nobody bangs my mom!
He's a good boy lmao
Majima is officially my crazy uncle
Sup, Haruka.
Even with his fall, In my eyes Nishiki is a FAR better man than Shindo ever could be. He at least had UNDERSTANDABLE reasons for his fall, but Shindo was just a dick.
In fairness. She was a baddie.
36:11 well to be fair kiryu's ancestors were very talented swordsmen. Besides he's clearly been trained well in various armed and unarmed combat and picked up various martial art styles.
Majima smiling before ruthlessly jumping to attack that squad was hella hilarious but badass .
You can’t hate on Shindo’s theme.
He's got a pretty cool theme, I'll give him that.
A recurring theme in the series: Guns are Daigo's superpower.
True dat Daigo with a pistol is nothing to play with
@@brandinicole1372
Fax. Even Joji Kazama knew not to let Daigo pull his gun out.
@@makokenji4350 exactly you seen it yakuza 3 when he gunned down Richardson’s crew with a pistol while waking up from a coma
@@brandinicole1372
Yep.
Yakuza 5 Spoilers
Then he saved Kiryu and Saejima from Kurosawa
@@makokenji4350 that was a good moment too
Shindo coming back for another go once you've just walked off is probably the only cool thing he does. I don't think I've ever seen another boss in the whole series where you beat them, return to non-combat, and then they charge back up behind you. And he has my favourite boss theme in the game. Weird, for such a throwaway villain.
Actually that's true, unless we're counting Kuze lol but jokes aside he had a cool theme song.
wat about men-in-black dude
35:39 this wasn't in the original right?
Komaki taught him well... very short preview of Like a Dragon:Ishin that is finally gonna go global
KOJI SHINDO
Milf Hunter and 2nd Patriarch of the Nishikiyama family

I don't have the patience to play this myself, so it's nice to watch!
37:00 answer: Essence of opening window
30:19 And since then, he was doomed to go through Kiryu's dental procedure at 34:39 ! 🤣🤣🤣
I love Nishiki. He was a broken man trying to pretend to have it all together. Shindo is a a-hole.
While it's clear how incredibly lame Shindo is, I actually believe he in a way disrespected his patriarch's name.

Majima 1988 still the strongest but less brutal..
At least Daigo did the reasonable thing.
Majima greatness, might have taken down a copter or 2 haha

Break off is a good theme
I know I'm pretty early. But if you plan on playing 3. There's 2 separate versions. The PS3 version which is cheaper and the remastered version on PS4 and pc . Just a warning if you're playing on PS3 the translation is pretty rough. Sorry in advance
36:44 kiryu and his damn no kill rule! I had the same face too! 🤣
Shindo : Didn't you and patriarch Nishikiyama go to war over à woman just last year ?
Jess : ... NO WE DIDN'T.
My exact reaction when I played x'D
Also, with the way Shindo was acting with Yayoi, I can understand Daigo. She is his mother after all. I would have killed him too.
yeah kiryu know how to use a sword because of the komaki in case you forgot
actually majima is the number one defense kiryu is the second best defense for the tojo clan
Keep it up
im gonn have to ask you to stop talkin disrespect on nishiki.
I know I’m supposed to be listening to the story but
Is Majima okay?😭😭
Yep actually better than ever if you know the story of yakuza like a dragon you know he sees kiryu again he is with his brother and more
L'm here to see
I hate Shindo a lot. Not only he’s a ruthless and vile character, but also his boss fight in the first yakuza pissed me off so much.

Oh i don't think the blond is even genetic I absolutely think he's the kind of idiot who would bleach his hair eyebrows included. Yes even when he's like 10 in 0 cmon he's ridiculous enough for that !
I think it's the second time in the game where he's all "lol my bad my boys are trigger happy i didnt order this" and that's... not a great look if you want to be a leader uh
Honestly resentful as he is i think if he wanted to kill his dad he'd already have done it
I love that all the blood on Majima comes from his head, the one place that has actual protection.
Shindo is a piece of shit but I love the "but i loved Dead Guy Sohei" like he wasn't also a scummy rapist.

I guess you have a point. Unless he's trying to play a cruel way where he's waiting for the right moment to kill his father.
Majima needs a new hard hat lol
Went the leader of the family is worse it will go the same to his peoples
True. Idk I still think it would be a little less hectic if Shindo wasn't around running the Nishikiyama family.
