"This is the tale of how Captain Majima actually find the One Piece but decide to leave it where it was because one certain stretchy boy wanted it more".
@@AGirlAndAGame To be honest, I still can't believe that this game takes place in the main Yakuza universe. Pirate Majima sounds like an alternate universe concept like Ishin or Kenzan. Also, this takes place 6 months after the events of Infinite Wealth. And wouldn't you know, 6 months was Kiryu's deadline in that game.
I saw the new trailer for this and it looks like they saved the most outlandish and over the top stuff for this game because my god it looks even more out of control and wacky than the rest of previous games in the best way possible.
@@jetjordan6044 i hope that they also add more songs for majima to sing too... As for the 24 hour Cinderella, here hoping the mv part of the karaoke they update majima into the more modern idol style or maybe do one song for the original n the new more modern style one😄
I think that's where the devs got stuck with him tbh, after they attached Saejima and Daigo to his character it was like they didn't really have freedom or know what to have them contribute lol
@@aronsurakh1747I feel like he became too big after 0. He suddenly became genuinely second most important character after Kiryu. For 0 fans, maybe as important. I don't think that RGG have problem with that, but look that way. Even after his backstory in 4/5, at that point you could say, Saejima is more important character. Not anymore (even Kiwami 2 told us, that he lied to Kiryu in 2 and prevent Omi vs Tojo war). Majima need space in the story. That's why he was cameos. Best in the series. After 6 shits on him (I hate this game), he's 10/10 in 7/Gaiden/8. But he's on third plan, for max two scenes. He would stole the show, like he did with those. And they wanted to close Kiryu story, and create new protagonist. Leaks are saying that we'll see previous events from his perspective. Probably, when he will be getting his memory back. Maybe we'll see at least more of 7/8.
"What is Majima doing?" You should know by now to NEVER question what he's doing or why he's doing it. Just roll with it and get swept along for the crazy, crazy ride.
This is the best possible game for Majima to star in. I don't think Majima could work as a solo protagonist if the game wasn't as over the top and unexpected as this one.
5:22 After many fans clamored for the return of Shun Akiyama and Ryuji Goda in the Yakuza series, RGG responded by adding... this guy. His name? None other than Japanese comedian Ryuji Akiyama.
Honestly. Loving how STRAIGHT is the naming convensions from RGG. 1° Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. (LDGTMWEHN) 2° Like a Dragon Kinda like a Gaiden: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. (LADGPYH)
Pirate Yakuza is a Gaiden game. In Japan it is called Like A Dragon 8 Gaiden: Pirates in Hawaii. I assume they thought dropping the Gaiden title would be better for marketing over here
@@lukescrew1981his hair looks different since 8. THAT'S why i hate, they gave him exactly the same look as in previous games in final fight. But you know...even Amon had wrong model. In this game he definitely looks like in his new look.
I was shell shocked when I woke up this morning, and saw this on my feed. You mean to tell me that they made a Pirate game that is right up my alley, with all the fun combat, naval battles, possible mythical creatures to fight, and pirate captains to take down and plunder for treasure amidst the stormy seas; and they combine it with the over the top zany fun that is the Yakuza adventures. Say no more, you’ve convinced me, sign me the heck up ASAP. 👀
Yakuza keeps nailing their celebrity appearences, from Takeshi Kitano to Danny Trejo to now Samoa goddamn Joe lmao. As a huge wrestling fan I'm stoked, I was disappointed when Kenny Omega's appearence was limited to just a card in Ishin.
If they're going the father route with Majima in this game, I wonder if he'll reflect on his first marriage with Mirei Park from Yakuza 5 at all. That relationship ended when Park had an abortion without telling Majima, so if one of the focuses is on fatherhood, this story could let Majima experience being a dad in a way he was wasn't able to before. Although, maybe it's a bit sad to frame it like that. Granted, he seems to have amnesia, so I doubt it would be explored with much depth, if at all, but it's still interesting to think about.
Let's prepare the checklist, shall we: Main story with emotional twists and turns: Substories aplenty, at least one of which will make you question your life choices: A plethora of minigames, at least one of which would demonetise a channel if shown: A 100% completion checklist that reads like the Rosetta Stone: Callbacks to previous stories and characters: Heat actions that are most certainly killing people: A whole other game buried in this one: If the sea-faring gameplay is anything like Black Flag, I'm more sold than I was already.
So, our beloved Mad Dog of Shimano is back... as a Pirate Captain. My god, this is so hilarious and good at the same time. Can't wait when the game release. But, so bad that maybe we won't have to play the legendary Mad Dog of Shimano style anymore...
I literally watched the live stream at 3 am LOL! And all I can say it was totally worth it! So happy that Majima finally gets to shine in his own game!! 😊
I'm so hyped for this and this makes me hope for more stand alone spin offs for other characters as well for people who miss the old school beat em up style, we can even get a Saejima or Daigo story that's wacky like this or serious like The Man Who Erased His Name
Somebody looked at Majima's eye patch, went "wouldn't it be funny if he was a pirate?" in-between development of Infinite Wealth, and boom, Yakuza Pirate in Hawaii.
I hope the ending of this game is going to be some Yakuza goon in the background going "Boss. None of this is true. You have been locked in the office for 6 months." And Majima just nods and goes "You got me. I made it all up."
It was different from what I imagined, but it seems interesting in its own way. It would be a heartwarming development if Majima were to reunite with Makoto, who has gone overseas, in the new work, but I wonder.
Majima was something more since 2. Ppl are really missing out, when they start from 0, because they didn't have full story without 4/5. 0 is literally sequel to Majima story in 4. I only recently played Dead Souls. Game is really nuts, but i was really suprised, when i saw, that it was same Majima as later. They knew who he was, they just showed more in 0. My point is... Jesus, all about Majima isn't only in 0.
I was on steam and saw the trailer for this game pop up and literally came directly to your channel because I knew your ass would be reacting to this lmfao...
it's a bit far fetch but I'm hoping that makoto will be back or at least mentioned since majima washed up on rich island without his memory so maybe makoto will be brought up to jog his memory
Soooo excited for another adventure with majima. Back in hawaii baby 💚💚this is going to mess with our emotions big time being majima. This is gonna to be a crazy game. Expect to cry at some point because it’s yakuza lol
I already crying here n the game has not yet came out😂😂😂... When it comes to rgg games, crying is part of the package (n crazy too, cant wait to see the substories for this one😅😅)
I know yall won,t admit. But i am pretty's sure this might the end of yakuza game except judgement and yakuza movie! I could be wrong! But it a strong feeling
I'm probably not in the minority when I say I expected more from this year's rgg summit. Why? Next year marks 20 years of yakuza. Do you what we go on for the 10th anniversary? We got yakuza0 I guess we'll be getting another majima game when this franchise turns 30? I'm happy for a new majima game. It looks so much fun (especially since I'm not a fan of the turn based formula). And I'm even more happy that we didn't get some mobile game like others have speculated lol.
Im so happy fight now! finally get the Majima game I wanted, I think the lady looks a lot like Madonna and I also saw Samoa Joe there this game is going to be sick.
Jess I'm sooo hyped!!! I've been waiting for this day forever!!! I can't wait. It's gonna be sooo fun!!! Omg I wonder what song he's going to destroy. They even said there's multiple of them. New too!!! Ahhh I wanna play it now!!! They've put out more info but I'm not going to say anything cause I know you like to go blind. Buut omg I dunno what to say anymore. Imma go scream in my pillow instead of rambling so much lol. Ps:I'm calling it Like a Pirate cause that title is too much of a mouthful 🤣
Seeing grandpa Majima telling a story of how he became a pirate in Hawaii was not on my bingo card for 2024 lmao😭
Lmaoooo
"This is the tale of how they almost captured Captain Goro Majima."
"This is the tale of how Captain Majima actually find the One Piece but decide to leave it where it was because one certain stretchy boy wanted it more".
I would've thought we'd get Judgement 3 set in Honolulu, not Pirate Captain Majima. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yep, no point in asking 😂
When I first saw the title, I thought it was just a DLC, not a full game! ❤Oh, I'm hyped.
I loved watching this. Majima being the main character is fantastic. Also I was shocked to see Samoa Joe in there too.
Jo! Jo! Jo!
I swear Yakuza can pull out the most random shit possible but somehow still be like "yep this is very Yakuza"
We don't have to question it anymore 😅😂
Sonic was the same way in the 2000s pretty much
I never expected Samoa Joe to be in a Yakuza game!😱🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait to do a jumping attack at him only for him to calmly step out of the way
This is the best possible game for Majima to star in. I don't think Majima could work as a solo protagonist if the game wasn't as over the top and unexpected as this one.

I really hope some other Yakuza cameos show up, as I'd love to see Akiyama, Saejima, Daigo, or Watase in pirate gear.
Daigo in pirate gear, I feel like that works 😂

I want this right now. A traditional yakuza game with Majima? Sign me the hell up.
I know the Samoa Joe fight gonna be fun.
Like a Dragon 8 Gaiden: The Man Who Forgot His Name
that is, no joke, a top comment in the video of the Japanese RGG account.
Can’t wait for the reveal at the end of the game that Majima is sitting in that chair telling the story to Cassandra from Dragon Age
Maybe he is telling his story to his bro, or sudden twist he try to explained the situation to makoto who happened to found him there😅
Wait. Samoa Joe is in this, goddamn I’m sold

Ah, it's always nice to see Majima.
I hope Hawaii's map will not be limited just like Yokohama in Gaiden
Let's prepare the checklist, shall we:
Main story with emotional twists and turns:
Substories aplenty, at least one of which will make you question your life choices:
A plethora of minigames, at least one of which would demonetise a channel if shown:
A 100% completion checklist that reads like the Rosetta Stone:
Callbacks to previous stories and characters:
Heat actions that are most certainly killing people:
A whole other game buried in this one:
If the sea-faring gameplay is anything like Black Flag, I'm more sold than I was already.
So, our beloved Mad Dog of Shimano is back... as a Pirate Captain. My god, this is so hilarious and good at the same time. Can't wait when the game release. But, so bad that maybe we won't have to play the legendary Mad Dog of Shimano style anymore...
Or maybe the style got tranform into a more custom, pirate ver of his mad dog style...
On the live stream that rgg had its gonna be 2 styles mad dog of Shimano style and sea dog style
From the looks of it, the Mad Dog style combines both that style and his Thug Style from 0.

Already looks better than Skull&Bones. Im sold, will play on release!
