    How can you not like this guy? Never forgot Kuze's legendary quote in 0: "I'll let you in a little something. The yakuza game, it's not like boxing. The man who gets beat down isn't the loser. The guy who can't tough it out to the end, he's the one who loses." Definitely looking forward to his performance in Ishin.

    • @AndrewTheYouTubeCommentator

      Yeah, but what I love is how in Nishiki’s fight in Yakuza Kiwami, Nishiki says “I will be a Yakuza Kiwami too! (Yakuza Kiwami 2)” but he failed in doing so, and in the next game, we meet Ryuji and he already is a Yakuza Kiwami as well, so when he meets Kiryu at The Grand, he says “I heard a lot about you, and how you are a Yakuza Kiwami. Funny, I am Yakuza Kiwami too (Yakuza Kiwami 2)” and then the vine thud happens as it zooms into Kiryu’s face. Bravo Hideo Kojima

      @@BennyGoIdIt's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would normally read "it is." The apostrophe indicates that part of a word has been removed. Its with no apostrophe, on the other hand, is the possessive word, like "his" and "her," for nouns without gender.
