God damn I never thought Kashiwagi was a fucking badass before playing Y0. Even Kiryu is suprised when he lost LOL He always seemed like an accountant type in other games.
@@hisholiness4537, That's right, but Kashiwagi only uses part of Joji's moves, for example, the second one likes to parry, Kashiwagi doesn't do that. He also has moves that I haven't seen in the series yet
id say kashiwagi would have a kirin like mine. he seems to give even the toughest opponents a hard time (even kiryu was surprised he lost a match) and from his actions during yakuza 0-3 he seems to fit the bill of giving peace and good fortune to most people it interacts with
@@randomnpc5777since Shimano has an Tiger on his back i think Shintaro has an Dragon Tiger and Dragon are said to be rivals in the japanese Mythology and since Kiryu as always admire Shintaro it don't surprise me if he wanted to have the same tatoo as his father
@@LaVitaNouva It'd be really nice tho if we got to play both in the same game. kinda like a yakuza 0 game or even just a kiwami 2 game where kashiwagi would be just a side saga like majima.
Ok like Kazama will be like kiryu and Kashiwagi is like majima where when he sleeps or something he will get a flashback of his scar like how majima did idk
@@ingobernable8765 A man of culture, I see. People'd call us mad to want 56 blades of an unbreakable knife, but you never know when you're gonna have to kick one into someone
Eh, when you look at it from an outside perspective, yeah it’s pretty fast. But the fight got people high in adrenaline and made the QTE seem wayyy slower than it was.
never played the other games, but Kashiwagi was a sympathetic character during the entire Yakuza 0. During this fight I just understood that Majima was desperate to get info about Makimura, but I knew it wouldnt be a fight to the death.
Honestly, not so much for me, ever since I got an idea of what he was like in the other games, I've been wanting to see just how strong he was if he was the Kazama Family Captain, and when I understood I'd be fighting him I couldn't be more pumped.
Kamran Dadashov My 3rd playthrough I just let him get it off. I let them all the QTEs go off. you have so much health by then and they deserve to get their hits in, especially Kashiwagi
Yeah but you can't even WIN the QTE! Its just way too damn fast that if personally you'd like to be badass- in my eyes its impossible to dodge that QTE
Playing through Yakuza 3 right now and got to Lau and realized this Kashiwagi fight was a callback to that. Kashiwagi's style and Lau's barehanded style are even rooted in the same base style, they just have slightly different moves
To explain the timing, you have 0.229 of a second to press the counter button. It takes 0.4 of a second to blink. I read this from another comment on this fight; so it is literally a "blink and it's over" second.
Goddamn, I mean this is 88' Majima, if this was like Kiwami or any other Majima it wouldn't be that crazy but the fact that it was 88' Majima and Kashiwagi pushed him to the point where there were actualy visible wounds is just madness, Kashiwagi is for sure on my top 5 strongest, dude is a monster and one of the most underrated characters in the series
Majima was actually more fearsome back then than later on I'd say, taking that time he fended off the omi alliance in the second game into consideration. 80s were probably his prime days
@@wetpudding yea most definitely, and not to mention the fact that besides the time he took down all those omi fodder this is about the only other time I've seen actually worn out with physical wounds, we don't get to see that often if ever
@@gamemaster2638 Hell no. Majima is a monster too. Especially in 0 where he is at his prime. Dude took on the most powerful family of the Tojo Clan and won without breaking a sweat. He then proceeded to destroy the most expensive hitman of all of Asia after defeating a literal army of Yakuza.
1:16 fight stops right there. The ending kinda feels like you were supposed to use Mad Dog. Anyways, I'm glad to see the quick time event. I failed it the first time
Kinda suprise neither Kashiwahi and Lee had their own unique theme. Hopefully if someday Yakuza 0 Kiwami becomes a reality they receive one (Which is probably gonna be super weird if it becomes real).
No need for a. Kiwami 0. There’s a channel called GGalactigal that makes fanmade tracks for various Yakuza bosses that only got regular boss themes. So far, she made tracks for Oda, Nishitani, Sera, and Kashiwagi.
How does one do that jumping punch move done after a full rush combo? Never seen it before and even if I do, I don't trust it ever since it told me the wrong controls and I got my ass beaten by Mr shakedown.
not canonically, i suppose. if i remembered correctly the match ended in draw and while Majima tired Kashiwagi a bit, he yielded to further provide info to Majima
@@kevinmulia6503 Majima won, and Kashiwagi didn't told nothing to Majima, it was one of the goons that saw Kashiwagi laying on the floor and told Majima where to find Nishiki.
Anyone notices Majima holding a knife in the cutscene after he beat Kashiwagi? So it's canon that Majima used Mad dog style to fight against Kashiwagi. Unlike every other fights in this game we always see Majima is unarmed in cutscenes. Canonically, he only uses Thug and Breaker style to fight, but Kashiwagi pushed him to use Mad dog style
Man I hate that Kashiwagi only got to be a major part in three (really two) games. Why’d they have to do what they did? Keeping him out of Yakuza 3, 4, 5, and 6 only to bring him back in Like a Dragon. He was one of my favorite characters in Kiwami and Kiwami 2!
I love yakuza but I hate it when the amazing detailed cutscene changes into smackdown vs raw 2011 created cutscene and they start speaking in lego grunts for fucks sake just give sega some money so they can afford their own game franchise

i love kashiwagi’s fighting style, it looks like nishiki got some of his moves from him
Have you played Yakuza 3?

The fact that havent seen Kashiwagi's tattoo is a crime.
Until RGG studios proves me wrong, he has a Phoenix on his back.
Or a buddhist god tattoo tbh
And Kazama has a Amaterasu in his back
id say kashiwagi would have a kirin like mine. he seems to give even the toughest opponents a hard time (even kiryu was surprised he lost a match) and from his actions during yakuza 0-3 he seems to fit the bill of giving peace and good fortune to most people it interacts with

They should've at least explain how he got his scar.
We will more likely get to play Kazama san.

Ok like Kazama will be like kiryu and Kashiwagi is like majima where when he sleeps or something he will get a flashback of his scar like how majima did idk
Sega should release a Yakuza-1 and show the story of Kashiwagi and Kazama rising the ranks of the Yakuza in the 60s that would be awesome.
YAKUZA -1
60s kamurocho would be something else
YAKUZA: COLD WAR
starring daisaku kuze as one of the playable protagonist. i'll preorder that shit no matter how expensive it will be
It could also have hirose from 6 because he would have been in his 30s in the 60s

I failed it cause I wasn't expecting it and panicked
Rodrick Simani98 not that hard
Eh, when you look at it from an outside perspective, yeah it’s pretty fast. But the fight got people high in adrenaline and made the QTE seem wayyy slower than it was.
I only got it ONCE, after several retries and with a pure guess on what the correct button was gonna be.
2:24 Gotta love the unintentional sync in the music lmao
Holy shit, this one is so good, I didn't even know about it.
Best thing about this game is how often that happens
Elephant I thought I was the only one who noticed this
Cthulhu oh it’s amazing, especially when you fight Awano.
I call it devilleon secret touch🙌
It's nice to know that eventually these two would become allies
Ehh were they really allies? I forgot.
@@Griffonkiyeah
If you've played the other games before, this fight makes you actually feel bad. I definitely did NOT enjoy beating the shit out of Kashiwagi.
never played the other games, but Kashiwagi was a sympathetic character during the entire Yakuza 0. During this fight I just understood that Majima was desperate to get info about Makimura, but I knew it wouldnt be a fight to the death.
Knowing Kashiwagi and his badass demeanor, this fight made me feel badass.
@@voutespancar Definitely. Thought he was a cruel asshole at first but I realised it's just tough love all along.
I think it was kinda cool seeing Kashiwagi in his prime , which made the fight really cool

and the move at 1:16 tho. The most badass opening move! Some ip man shit. When i play i'm always the one to get punched first lol.
1:15 holy shit... that was awesome! It felt exactly like real life fight, with that parry, followed by that counter attack!
Personally I love failing the QTE. That punch is awesome.

Amen

2:45 I'm still thinking about this QTE and how it's humanly possible. It's LITERALLY faster than a blink.
2:46 HOW!? JUST HOW!?
I mean, I did it first try so....
The Kazama family name makes more sense if you look at Jin Kazama in Tekken lol.
Some of Kashiwagi's moves are similar to his. Mainly the punches.
Lol he's even got the Omen stance from TTT2 and the spinning backfist that Jin inherited from his dad.
Plot twist: Shintaro & Joji Kazama have a cousin which ran away from the Yakuza
aren't those Karate moves?
@@awper901 Yes. Kazama style self defense is a form of karate.
@@awper901 yes. It's karate. It's like saying "Wow! They created a fighting style from Hwoarang moves"

Kashiwagis moveset is litteraly taken from Jojis tho
I never realised how fast that qte is *holy shit how the hell did I dodge that*
A question I ask myself, I somehow did it on my 1st playthrough, only to fail abysmally every time since
It’s way faster on legend

Just don't blink when it start
tbh on legend it's like 0.2 seconds
You finally Dodged!!!!
His and Awano's QTE is some of the hardest to pull off.
@@Whitefox789 just him, awano was "ok"
Awano QTE was like all others.
Kashiwagi QTE was essentially blink and you lose.

HAN WEN LEW it's the same exact location LOL they reuse a lot of assets from previous games this stage being one of them
@@thedarkknight646 I think it's so funny how this boss fight reused both stage and fighting style from y3
As someone who's kinda new to the Yakuza community, you are really skilled! Love the video!
Kashiwagi outfit looks like G-Man outfit lol
Somehow dodged his punch on first try on Legend. But damn, that QTE was fast!
Who else has never hit that qte
I made the horrible mistake of mainly using the mad dog style for this guy on my legend run
that sync at 2:25 is badass as hell
The legendary battle between
Majima and Gman...
the fights in this game show the advantage of being young. The oldheads are all overwhelmed when they think they'd definitely win. Kinda sad.
Majima did call Kashiwagi a monster so I'd say he gets a pass
My guess, Kashiwagi not give all in this fight. If he want to kill Majima , Kashiwagi will tear him apart.
@@gamemaster2638 Hell no. Majima is a monster too. Especially in 0 where he is at his prime. Dude took on the most powerful family of the Tojo Clan and won without breaking a sweat. He then proceeded to destroy the most expensive hitman of all of Asia after defeating a literal army of Yakuza.
I don't think kashiwagi is that old here.
Zixiong Wang kashwiagi survived a helicopter attack
I don't know which made me sadder: having to beat Nishiki or having to beat Kashiwagi :(
Kashiwagi deserved a lot of things in the series but Goddamn give the man his own boss theme at least
Bro got the unforseen consequences fit
How do you circle behind him just before he lands mr leon?? Examples are 1:21 and 1:32
You just press X while moving the analogue stick to the designated direction to get behind the enemy.
devilleon7 ok thanks leo appreciated
So nobody gonna talk about the awesome music synch at 2:23 ??
I don't get why he enjoyed so much the idea of fighting Majima.
I would shit bricks at the idea of having him in front of me.
you see the legend that's endured like 10 games. Kashiwagi sees a punk ass. Majima's a glorified grunt by this point, so it makes sense
@@mixmastervin8846 you're right

Kinda suprise neither Kashiwahi and Lee had their own unique theme. Hopefully if someday Yakuza 0 Kiwami becomes a reality they receive one (Which is probably gonna be super weird if it becomes real).
Bruh fr. Sera, Nishitani, Oda, Lee and Kashiwagi all had the same theme song.
I replaced the theme with mutual fists from yakuza 5 and it's a lot less annoying to hear 10 times than misery comes on beat
No need for a. Kiwami 0. There’s a channel called GGalactigal that makes fanmade tracks for various Yakuza bosses that only got regular boss themes. So far, she made tracks for Oda, Nishitani, Sera, and Kashiwagi.
- Can we have Hiroshi Hayashi boss?
- No, we already have Hiroshi Hayashi in Tojo.
- Hiroshi Hayashi in the Tojo:

would be epic battle

At least 6 was fully voiced
all the story ones are voiced skipping the dialouges makes them sound like grunts though
