Man I know these don’t get a ton of views but let me say, this recap was top tier. Entertaining, accurate, and informative. I hadn’t played this game in a year and was about to start Kiwami 2, so this was PERFECT. Much love on the hard work!
At the end of the game when the cops have their guns pointed at Kiryu, Date kind of bails him out of that situation and tells him to leave. Kiryu wanted to go back to jail because he lost everyone he cared for but Date mentions that Haruka is someone to live for.
Thanks for this. These games are so packed with characters and story bits that its hard to remember everything after taking long breaks from the series. Ready to pick up Kiwami 2 again but needed a refresher.
This series has helped me save alot of time, I've only played Zero and Kiwami, but I got a copy of 5 as well, so I definiteky can't wait for your Yakuza 3 and 4 Recaps ~
Just saw your recap of Yakuza 0 last night and now watching this! Man keep em coming, because your recaps are SO good and funny as hell. Kiryu-chan would be proud 👏
Well it's kinda embarassing but after i watched your "Yakuza 0 Story Recap" 4-5 months ago i was able to finish the game shortly after, and just immediately jump to Yakuza Kiwami, and then halfway through i didint have time to play. Now jump skip to 3 month later, and finnaly i have finished Yakuza Kiwami today after watching another one of your recaps. Thank you dude, and let's hope i will be able to finish Kiwami 2 in one go :D
My man, I found your videos because I was looking for a recap on each game leading up to 6 cuz I'm about to finally get to that one. I watched zero and just finished this one and I just wanted to say that your shit is incredibly entertaining. So glad I chose your videos to catch up.
I appreciate the recap, I've been wanting to play it again but I'm currently playing infinite wealth and don't have the time to pop back over to it lol
Thank you so much for making this video. I loved Yakuza 0 but didn't want to grind through all the games. Not gonna lie, this story is actually horrible - but you did a great job recapping it in a really entertaining way!!!
Thanks Man! Just finished yakuza 0 and picked up Judgment the difference in graphics with yakuza kiwami is hard to do. Planning on playing yakuza kiwami 2 then watching your videos for 3 4 and 5 😄 then playing 6!!
0 And this game made Nishiki a great villain and I'd argue one of the best in gaming, cuz underneath his goals of becoming chairman, he's a broken man who's lost pretty much everything.
Just wanted to say thanks this helped me jumped back into my original save on yakuza 2 on chapter 5 I think? Tryna learn the whole kiryu sage before I start like a dragon I hope I get all sorts of references when I finally play it after all 6 yakuza games
Great video and very good narrative. Just came to mind this other youtuber words about how important it is to have a backlog. I am subscribing to watch all yakuza videos.
Great summary, borther. Helped me to get up to speed after 0, but before jumping onto Kiwami 2 (I have only limited time and decided to pick the best games). The plot holes here are STAGGERING and disrupt the plot which is otherwise SO good. I love this series but there's a reason why some of the games are better than the others. I'll see you at the summary of 3,4,5 :)
Nice! So now I am ready to play kiwami's 2, after playing yesterday kiwami 1 in a fucking marathon because it was the last day able on the gamepass 🤣 and yes, your video help me so much to understand some parts of the story. Thanks for the hard work!!
Kiwami was the first one I played about a month ago. I had no idea who these characters were and were hard to remember all their names. But I really enjoyed this game and the side content. I really enjoyed kiwami 2 as well. Then when I played 0 and got kind of burnt out on it for a bit. I finished 0's story and never went back and played anymore of it even though there were secret styles and stuff I could get. If I played 0 before kiwami 1 It would have been the opposite. I would have been burnt out on kiwami
man making these kind of video must be taking you long as hell and i respect that, won't watch this video though because im not finished with the game and im trying not to get spoiler
When kiryu gets jumped in prison, the hitmen say chairman sera ordered the hit. Is this true or were the lying to kiryu? Why would sera try and kill his homie kazumas son, even if he was seen as killing dojima? It doesnt make sense considering he was expelled from the yakuza as opposed to straight up killing him or taking his pinky
I believe I found out he wasn't the one who ordered it but It was In random important side quest wish the series wouldn't do this putting important characters like shinji for example as a side quest in yakuza 0 I had no idea who he was in yakuza 1
Yakuza Kiwami, what are my thoughts on it? Yakuza Kiwami is good game. The story felt like it just was your wild goose chase to look for Yumi, the 10 billion yen wasn't much important. Gameplay is still good lil improvement with the combat system from 0 and i really enjoy the characters. I'll say the worst part is sounding track, the original was better.
I use free editing programs that are open source and you can just download online. I use Inkscape for the thumbnails and Shotcut for video. Then I spent a bunch of time researching and teaching myself how to use the programs. It's a learning curve, but it gets much easier as you get the hang of it.
Im about to play the whole series after playing 0. I played Kiwama halfway and gave up because i got bored the map was the same. Some time has passed and im about to start kiwama 2. This refesher really helps.
I can't recommend the series enough. Amazing stories, fun gameplay that has a good mix of rpg elements and action game brawler mechanics, and there's a ton of fun side content. Worth the time if you have it to spare.
Thanks dude , i really liked the moment to moment gameplay for Kiwami , but the bossfights made me back off and decide to watch your vid , because i need to know the story lol.
Man I know these don’t get a ton of views but let me say, this recap was top tier. Entertaining, accurate, and informative. I hadn’t played this game in a year and was about to start Kiwami 2, so this was PERFECT. Much love on the hard work!
Happy to help. Feedback like this makes it worth it. I appreciate you!
“I know these don’t get a lot of views” -> Literally his most popular videos.
Funny how things work out lmaooo
Yeah, this was great, nice work
Weirdest thing in kiwami 1 was the "steamy moment" with the hostess who says early on that she is a lesbian
Your story reviews videos deserves more views. I hope that the youtube algorithms bless you
I appreciate that! Thank you!
“Kiru’s eyebrows says (na fam)”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At the end of the game when the cops have their guns pointed at Kiryu, Date kind of bails him out of that situation and tells him to leave. Kiryu wanted to go back to jail because he lost everyone he cared for but Date mentions that Haruka is someone to live for.

Thanks for continuing the series! On yakuza 3 now and although the gameplay/graphics vary the story is always great.
I love that "Bam! bam! bam!"🤣
This series has helped me save alot of time, I've only played Zero and Kiwami, but I got a copy of 5 as well, so I definiteky can't wait for your Yakuza 3 and 4 Recaps ~
Replaying 3 right now so the video should be out in the near future.
@@LaMuerteBlanca Looking forward to it~ Already Subscribed due to your video format~
Thank you for the recap. Played Kiwami 1 in 2019 and i need a catchup before starting 2.
Awesome recap! I kept on laughing on the plot bombs you dropped!
Lol appreciate that, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Your "Bam!" Are fucking loud
They always catch me off guard 🤣🤣🤣
you deserve 1 million subs, best yakuza explanation!
Thank you! That means alot.
Commentary is funny as hell, im playing 3 but I feel like I need a recap of these games so this vid is awesome
Great review , Subbed !
Appreciate the support! Thank you!
Got me singing "this whole thing is sus" to the tune of "I want to break free"
Date san is our parole officer the whole time
Damn your channel deserves more attention. I wanted to revisit Yakuza story but don't have time to run em all back. Thanks man
Appreciate you
Just saw your recap of Yakuza 0 last night and now watching this! Man keep em coming, because your recaps are SO good and funny as hell. Kiryu-chan would be proud 👏
Great job, mate! Thank you for the content. This has made my remembering what Kiwami is about both convenient and hilarious.
Happy to help and glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Thanks for giving these recaps, I played them all ages ago and now going into 7 I have to remember it all :D
Happy to help. I will say that you don't necessarily need to play the old games to enjoy seven, but it does help though.

Happy to help. Theyre long games. Things get in the way sometimes. Enjoy the rest of the series!
Loved it! Just finished Zero after having playing Kiwami and 3 a few years ago. Needed the recap to continue with Kiwami 2.
Thanks for the awesome recap!
I wanna thank you for putting all this in a nutshell for us🙏🏾
@@letemknowdae you're welcome 👍
I was thinking "man, the gameplay isn't that long.. " but then remember the 15-30 minute cut scenes 😅
Dude, what a Great video, thank you!!!! Pronunciation is a bit off, but content exactly my style. Thank you, arigato!!
I fully admit i have little to no experience with the japanese language. Glad you enjoyed the video though. 😅
Damn underated ass channel. This was just the vid i needed been a couple years since i played 0/kiwami bout to pick #2 up and needed a refresher
Gotchu. Appreciate the kind words!

There are a ton of fun subtle references that I think you'll really enjoy once you play all the games.
Thank you for the video 🙏 it was just HILARIOUS! kudos to you
Your recaps are great bro ! great job ! love them !
Thanks my bro just getting into Yakuza 3 from game pass I needed this

“I don’t think they’re fucking yet…?”

Great recap
They took Yakuza 0, Kiwami and Kiwami 2 off Gamepass right after Yumi and Shinji's death
Man fantastic work!
We need to get you far more subs!!
Keep it up peace
Appreciate you!
Haruka got my dice right everytime
God damnit I forgot Majima was the crazy who destroyed Ichiban’s home
This was a good review thanks

Damn...that's my bad 😅
Great video and very good narrative. Just came to mind this other youtuber words about how important it is to have a backlog. I am subscribing to watch all yakuza videos.
Ayyyy! Appreciate you.
Forgot how great ur reviews are 😂
Appreciate the love lol
Excellent video. You’ve earned that 800 :)
Thank you so much! It has been a long hard road to this point. Really appreciate the support :)
This review is soooo good lol
I wasnt expecting Date to "kabedon" Sudo but I'm here for it!
🍿🍿🍿

Glad you enjoyed it. I agree. Some are definitely better than others.
First time ever I considered slowing down the replay speed.
BAM!!!🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for making this video, now I can play kiwami 2👍🏼😃😃😃😃😃
Nice! So now I am ready to play kiwami's 2, after playing yesterday kiwami 1 in a fucking marathon because it was the last day able on the gamepass 🤣 and yes, your video help me so much to understand some parts of the story. Thanks for the hard work!!
When kiru pull up the "hand"u better pray Amen!
will you do recaps of the other yakuza games?
I definitely plan to. Might just take a little bit because of my crazy schedule. Replaying 2 right now so I can get all the details back in order.
Im here after skipping this game due to its car chase lmaooo thanks
you have some good story telling skills!!
Thank you 😁
Time rewatch the Kiwami 1 to recap before watching the new show Yakuza Like a Dragon on prime.
Kiwami was the first one I played about a month ago. I had no idea who these characters were and were hard to remember all their names. But I really enjoyed this game and the side content. I really enjoyed kiwami 2 as well. Then when I played 0 and got kind of burnt out on it for a bit.

I would have been burnt out on kiwami
Same
I played 0 then Kiwami and got burnt out last year and now I’m ready to jump back in with kiwami 2 a year later lol
i loved kiwami 1 and 2 just as much as y0. haruka so kyoot
Thank you !
Youre welcome
I'm here because that Shimano fight sucks balls, thanks man, onto kiwami 2
man making these kind of video must be taking you long as hell and i respect that, won't watch this video though because im not finished with the game and im trying not to get spoiler
They do take a while, but mainly because I can't do this full time yet. Appreciate the kind words.
yakuza best game game
Just beat this game last night. Trusted haruka to the fullest and did max bet on all guesses. Got all but 1
Nice
@@LaMuerteBlanca starting kiwami 2 rn lmao even my family is invested
@@mugiwara8166 its so good. Really hope you all enjoy it!
Thank you for the effort you make to explain the story of this game i wish you the best

I like Nishki does help Kiryu at the end, but I wish Kiryu and Nishki talked a little more before he died, like a heart to heart moment.
Thanks for the spoiler
@@llewxammail9116 the whole video is a spoiler. Your setting yourself up for spoilers if you look the comments, no offence
I got to ask how do you edit your vid and your thumb nail I suck at it if you don't mind telling me
I use free editing programs that are open source and you can just download online. I use Inkscape for the thumbnails and Shotcut for video. Then I spent a bunch of time researching and teaching myself how to use the programs. It's a learning curve, but it gets much easier as you get the hang of it.
@@LaMuerteBlanca thank you so much (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ this will probably make my bid better
@@papacord4776 great! Happy to help :)
Played this game and honestly had no clue what the hell was going on cause I ain’t wanna read but I thank u sir 🫡
It’s alright doggo ends up finding Yagami. Remember? So, you get annoying dog quests with doggo in that game.
13:05 the girl absolutely ignoring the shot wound is probably the most BS of this entire series
Right?! 🤣
Im about to play the whole series after playing 0. I played Kiwama halfway and gave up because i got bored the map was the same. Some time has passed and im about to start kiwama 2. This refesher really helps.
Never once played this series. Really detailed review though regardless. Liked it :)
I can't recommend the series enough. Amazing stories, fun gameplay that has a good mix of rpg elements and action game brawler mechanics, and there's a ton of fun side content. Worth the time if you have it to spare.
@@LaMuerteBlanca PPP b
This was class 😂😂😂
Appreciate you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Again probably too late but terada is chief of hq not the omi leader.
Thanks dude , i really liked the moment to moment gameplay for Kiwami , but the bossfights made me back off and decide to watch your vid , because i need to know the story lol.
Gotchu
Bam bam bam b!
Dude it's Kazama, Kazuma is Kazuma Kiryu
What are you talking about?
@@Clouds12012 he pronounced Kazuma (Kiryu) as Kazama
Great summary but I feel like you dont fully get Japanese narration and its deeper meaning fam
I hate that she dies, all just to progress the plot. Even though kiryu beat the shit out of jingu already.
BAM
Bam bam bam 🤘🤣
cringe commentary
Reina really got offed for no reason. Thats so sad
Facts...*moment of silence*
true. rip to the of the baddest bishes in Yakuza
