"I wont let you go otherwise" Such a powerful thing to say to someone, Kiryu just asked something big of ichiban something only he can be trusted of, kasuga sees this as a opportunity to asks him to live to the end. This time kiryu had no choice to but make this deal. Also love kasuga for saying that the man truly is a compassionate hero.
Hot take: the ending was good and cathartic, even if it was a lot more muted and stoic compared to Gaiden We see Kiryu's character arc come full circle- he's been running away from his problems and fate since day one re the tojo clan. Him choosing to "erase his name" in y6 was an extension of that. Gaiden was showing how that was a shitty decision. Now he isn't running anymore, he took back his name, went back to haruka and is receiving treatment. The last moments in game being him saying his name is a metaphorical full stop to his story.
2:18:51 i felt so happy here seeing kiriyu have just fun with everyone... at the same time it felt kinda sad too like u get the feeling something really bad might happen rl to kiriyu
Whoever did Bryce’s voice did not have a convincing English voice AT ALL. And that’s accounting for LITERALLY most of the English lines being decent at best
It still amazes me why they didn't use the English dub audio for the english lines, instead of counting on native english speakers they just called japaneses that sucks at english
Thank you for uploading this and condensing it down to this length. I just can not bring myself to sit through 20+ more hours of actually having to play this game, made it as far as Chapter 8 and couldn't take it anymore.
I hope Yakuza 9 separates playstyles for both characters. Have Ichiban stay turn based and have Kiryu be in real time. I'd love for another weak Kiryu that we have to retrain. They could even show him regaining body mass he lost during his fight with cancer(Y9 could start after he beats it). Hell, this new situation could mirror the events of Yakuza 1. No one goes after him because they assume the cancer would finish him off(like how they assumed he'd be killed in prison) and he'd come out a shadow of his former glory.
I really wish they didn’t change the combat system. Had they kept the real time action system of previous games, I would’ve bought this along with Tekken 8.
@@GamersPrey yeah,I'm disappointed with the story in this game, Ryuga Gotoku really doesn't want Kiryu to be happy meeting them (Haruka and Haruto) what a waste of 8 years of waiting
I think there's probably more to it. The author of the video might have cut out non-cinematics and other things related to the story, hence explaining why the pacing seemed off.
Watching cutscenes because SEGA is way to greedy with their pricing. Thanks, but I think the US Hawai setup isnt really working for me, what was wrong about Japans lttle Hawai called Okinawa?
it actually has some RL merid tho. The yakuza were a big presence on hawaii in the 60s and 70s and stil have some ties there. So to get a out of japan one hawaaii was actually a good choice.

Not enough kiryu related story, use daigo majima and sajima like Cameo characters no news of orphanage kids, no nwes of akiyama, no Dante, hanai is lost fo many seasons, they use sayama and yuki for get attention only in trailer wtf why should i play it??
the second half of this game fell hilariously short with the whole plot of japan's waste management and bryce basically being evil jesus. The first half of the story was incredible and then the second was some of the worst in rgg history lmao
The waste management detail was nice bit of horror since this was what Aoki Ryo had in mind for the homeless and undesirable people is to make them work as slave labor handling nuclear waste in a prison island
Man, what a lame story....one of the worst in the series for me. Also the ending....really...that's it? Fail. Spoilers Below They made Haruka look like a granny. What happened to her nice hairstyle....bleh. Also, so what's the deal with Kiryu? This ending make no sense....so he sees them and than dies or something? Or they milking Kiryu out for another 5 games? We can argue back and fourth, but Yakuza 6 was clearly meant to be the final game for Kiryu. This is just garbage and what was the point of Gaiden exactly? Beating Gaiden I figured the lead up would possibly be him fighting the organization to get his name back and see the kids....instead they were just ignored basically the whole game with a buch of other random plot points. Only cool thing about this whole story was Kiryu going back to his old style during the later half of the game, and Ichiban telling the girl his feelings.
2:18:42 - This scene just tearing my heart apart. Sing your soul out Kiryu-san, you deserve it.
the way I still hear Nishiki's background vocals in my head :c
"I wont let you go otherwise"

Yokoyama is a big troll lol
Haruka wearing grey and red in the end.
She really is Kiryu's daughter

Ah yes in Yakuza 9 kiryuu will fight in a fuckin' wheelchair, now that's Rad
No they will make an elixir which return back his age so he will back to his shape in Kiwami 2
He will go Pocket Racing in his Wheelchair.

Just found out Bryce's Japanese VA is the same guy who voiced Yamcha in Dragonball series! Didn't expect to hear quality Engrish from him though 😂
Man when Kiryu’s suffering ends he can’t even die and end his suffering
At least he can meet his family
He got to reunite with his family though, it's pretty much his sole wish after all this time.
Well atleast he's hopeful about it lol.

They just put baby Haruka face to an adult body and convince she is a legit adult. What a lazy move, RGG.
Didn't Haruka always have a baby face though?
@@diablow1411 Her face in Song of Life looked young adult enough.
Japanese women really be looking like that though
Always so young
U forgot the part she is Japanese they always look young and Haruka always had a baby face
And the body looked like it belongs to saeko’s sister nanoha

Yeah, that was the only thing that bothered me in the japanese dub ☠️
It still amazes me why they didn't use the English dub audio for the english lines, instead of counting on native english speakers they just called japaneses that sucks at english
On the bright side, gives us some meme material
The weird thing is, they do use the English dub voices for all of the non-major characters, including Roman.
We'll get to see Bald Kiryu. Let's gooooooo
Ichiban we need to cook.
Wasn’t bald Kiryu a thing when he was in Prison during the first game?
@@5h3nn0ng that's techincally shaved to zero; not bald.

I hated that Sega didn't have the balls to actually end Kiryu's journey. Another "safe" ending in case future Kiryu-less game tanks in sales.
Yup, now we have Pirate Majima which is another kiryuless game
2:37:24 Did Hanawa just die?
yes
Yup. So is Kiryu no longer a part of the Daidoji faction?
@@portagasdace21117He still is at that point at least. The faction only had Hanawa serve as his boss. He’ll have a new one.

Agreed I love the story and characters of 7 & 8 but the combat should've been action like it's always been
Same ☠️ but I still want to continue with the game if it's an RPG. Not saying that i'm not struggling with RPG though 🫠
Why would they after Yakuza 7 sold and reviewed so well? They also released Gaiden and Lost Judgement between Yakuza 7 and Yakuza 8.
Why why i cant see Haruka and haruto at least meet kiryu and it just ended like that ah🥲
Even the link sub story, they didn't meet. I was in tears ;_;

13:58
Rgg has missed a lot of things they could have made it better. It is somehow confusing as well
There's only 4 hours worth of cutscenes? So in story length this is gonna be shorter than Gaiden?
I think there's probably more to it.
The author of the video might have cut out non-cinematics and other things related to the story, hence explaining why the pacing seemed off.

Is clearly that Kiryu is going to live a lot more time(even getting cured from the cancer even with the coments that it was uncureable,because you dont get in radiotherapy if its uncureable and you can get cured if the thing goes well in 6 or 8 months,witch is one of the little things i didnt like much of the story,is how the cancer thing is weird and sometimes looks like the definitive end for Kiryu or is gonna come back after this,even stronger)thanks for the treatment,is not the first time in the series that they hit us with:"Hey,Kiryu can die!"
But we all knew that is always ended in our Kiryu tanking all of the shit to the end
They left it open for Kiryu to return for a simple that it can return in some point in the future and Kiryu is still a character that could bring more stories
Like a:
Kiryu VS Daidoji Faction story in a Gaiden 2(?)
Or it will be the story for a Yakuza/Like a Dragon 9(?)
I don't know,but the thing i know is that i am very satisfied for the story of this game and RGGS keep doing GOTY contenders every time they realease a game
(Btw,good video)
They say they won't continue Judgment because the writers couldn't decide what platforms to release them on.
Not enough kiryu related story, use daigo majima and sajima like Cameo characters no news of orphanage kids, no nwes of akiyama, no Dante, hanai is lost fo many seasons, they use sayama and yuki for get attention only in trailer wtf why should i play it??
I wish kashiwagi and kiryu had a cutscene catching up on their stuff post yakuza 3
Akiyama and Date are in there and meet Kiryu. Everything else... yeah...
all of that is side content used to level up kiryu 2nd half of the game. Main story was the worst part of the game here
^ he didnt play the game
4:17:20
HE LOKS OLD GHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Kiryu is 55 and dealing with terminal cancer on top of that.
