Acts like a snooty new age Yakuza, turns out to be one of the most old school Yakuza in the series. Someone all the old guard like Kiryu, Majima, Saejima, Kuze would respect.
If you think about it, Someya just threw Kiryu, I repeat, KIRYU, over the bar with only one arm. Either he's secretly a beast himself, or he's really giving it everything to come home to his family...
They say the most dangerous man is One who has nothing left to lose but in truth I think it's actually the One who has One last thing to Save. Someya was forced into this fight to save Kiyomi, He's ready to do whatever it takes, even if it means having to kill Kiryu, A man he would rather not fight under any other circumstances. People can do crazy things when it's All or Nothing
Imo Someya was right. You don't need tattoos to be a true Yakuza, a true man. MFer committed suicide to save his loved one, never raised a hand to his daughter. I kinda want a side story game with Someya, to see what his definition of Yakuza looks like.
@@llukissj1540 He slapped her once on screen. Chill. We skipped over it because we don't have ADD and hyperfixate on minutia. Tragic people, broken people, do bad things. What Someya's character stands for, is not undermined. You can do terrible things and still stand for more.
If someone uses "He doesn't hit his daughter!" As a way of saying they're not bad, then they're probably not a good person LOL. Like, I would fucking HOPE he doesn't beat his child, that makes him a normal person not a good guy lmao
When during a meeting, sometimes after his first boss fight, Someya broke a bottle of wine on the head of some motherfucker who insulted Kiryu. That's when I knew.
This fight is the best boss fight in all of Yakuza if you ask me. I read about this in another comment, but I love how the long battle and this boss fight subverts your expectations. Instead of Kiryu and the gang kicking ass and stopping the big bad, Kiryu is forced to brave it alone. This happens most of the time anyways, however we've never seen one of his allies get harmed in the midst of battle like Yuta did. And then you reach Someya. The antagonists aren't there waiting for Kiryu; why would they? They know how he's manage to fight hundreds upon hundreds of men and still come out on top over the course of his life. They just want to kill him without getting _their_ hands dirty, which makes perfect sense. Of course they'd find a way to force one of their men to go after Kiryu on what you can consider a suicide mission. It isn't a fight for respect, it isn't a fight to reach the top of the Yakuza food chain, it isn't a fight for glory, nor is it a fight to resolve an ideological conflict. It's just Someya fighting not only for his life, but for Kiyomi's too. The only way it'll end is if he kills Kiryu, or if Kiryu kills him. It's extremely depressing, and you can even see that Kiryu is distraught at fighting Someya with the one word we get: "Why?!" Keep in mind, Someya had told Kiryu that the Fixer and Iwami would be going after Haruka, Haruto and himself. He didn't want to see the great 4th Chairman die in such a manner, even if his bravery was venerable. Someya was dealt the worst hand, through and through. And this track, DESTINY, just exemplifies it. An extremely dramatic setpiece which ends in the one of the worst possible ways. I reckon it represents both Kiryu's and Someya's strife. A cleverly orchestrated piece for a truly unexpected boss fight that none of wish we had to go through once we found out why we had to fight Someya. Simply the best.
I think that's the point. The man with nothing on his back who scoffed at "outdated ways" ended up having more Gokudo Soul than the corporate wannabe with his fancy tattoo.
Oh, when I first played this fight I was lucky enough to sync the first BOOM moment with the QTE. I felt like I was freakin flying, And made me wish that Yakuza 6 jad dynamic finishers for some of its bosses like 5. Just icing on the cake through ;)
Kuze was the judge of the start of kiryus journey to see if he was worthy someya was the judge to see if he lived up to the legend in my eyes this was the final yakuza boss... then shishido threw that out the window
My favourite part of yakuza 6 was when someya said "wow, I guess it was my destiny to become the yakuza 6: the song of life" and then he someya'd all over himself
Someya was a boss fight I loved playing against cause in my eyes he felt like a person on the balance of the Yakuza life and was definitely a better antagonist then iwami
For a man with clean slate, Someya truly has a soul of dreamers. He can impress all of the older generation from Tojo clan but sadly he serve under the worst leader.
This is why I like asshole and cocky characters, because then we have cases like Someya where he gained my whole respect and almost cried when he stabbed himself to save Kiyomi. You gained a spot in my heart, Someya.
Very sad soundtrack but relatable. Just imagine if you are a hitman from another mafia company, when someone kidnaps you to force yourself to kill your girlfriend who is a hitwoman from another mafia company that opposes yours after secretly falling in love for years, The mafia leaders are torturing your emotions and souls and forcing you guys to kill and fight each other until one lives.
couldn't find a joke about maid dragon with the title, so I will just tell you I discovered the anime with this channel and if you are an artist do more art of it
Why does this scream more final boss then the actuall final boss theme. Ik it is cliche to have an emotional boss theme for end, but yakuza 6 is already so depressing man and this hits the vibe more
Even though i hated the guy the more i played through the game he grew on me and after his death it made me sad and theres very few charaters in the yakuza franchies that made me switch from hating them to liking them
people are talking about how someya was the real final boss but to me the final boss is the guy who's been behind it all mainly because he's who you've been against the entire game (ok maybe not in yakuza 5)
it took me long time to play this game, because the reviews are that BAD but seeing Korean Vergil and Someya changed my mind (no matter how stupid the plot was) then....Iwami happen it feels anticlimactic
The comment section shoukd have prepared you for Iwami. Everyone is talking about him. Also WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING AT YAKUZA CONTENT WHERE THE REVIEWERS SAY IT'S SHIT? Every single piece of Yakuza content i've come across praised it. Unless we're talking about Yakuza 3, 6 and Like a Dragon, but those are the black sheep of the franchise.

In my heart this was the true final boss. Someya deserved better.

This is why Cane beat john wick bc Cane was a man with one thing to save while john had nothing left to lose
just like akiyama yeet'd arai to the moon lol
People tend to be much stronger when they're pushed to their limit.
Well its not difficult to throw Kiryu.. He is no Kanda
The QTE in this fight is genuinely one of the best action sequences in any piece of action media ever the yak 4 rooftop fights are a close second

Still raised a hand to his wife though when she was afraid of him. It is still hard to not like him as he tries to right a wrong in the end
@@Rolo1507 yea way too many people skip the fact he beat his wife lmao

I cried my eyes out
I was fucking devastated beyond this point in the story, people dont give Y6 enough credit
after? AFTER? bro i cried during

2:00 BRO you synced the drop of the song with the drop of the sword GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL
Just realised he said you’ll find out in the afterlife because he knew they would betray him after he killed kiryu anyway
Someya is a better antagonist than Little Baby Iwami imo
I think that's the point. The man with nothing on his back who scoffed at "outdated ways" ended up having more Gokudo Soul than the corporate wannabe with his fancy tattoo.
He's not even an antagonist lmao
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola i mean yeah but atleast the guy is better than Iwami
@@hoovyaj I dunno, to me Someya is more like Arai to Akiyama. A rival, not a villain
@@NiCoNiCoNiCola Someya is indeed not a villain, but he's technically still an antagonist because he still conflicts with Kiryu.
i love how someya went from a character i thought was an asshole to the second most respected character from me
First being Rikiya of course.
Oh, when I first played this fight I was lucky enough to sync the first BOOM moment with the QTE.
I felt like I was freakin flying,
And made me wish that Yakuza 6 jad dynamic finishers for some of its bosses like 5.

Unironically the greatest Yakuza Boss fight.
The QTE, story behind fight, the best soundtrack in the game. Yes it is
Y6 was weak in some parts but someya’s probably my favorite minor antagonist in the series
You sure. Kuze best
@@Oilupplznishiki imo
Defeat Someya one final time!
"Why?!"
I love when that little subtext underneath pops up and you see a flash of their inner thoughts
I wish the ingame versions and album version was the same, the ingame versions always have the perfect intros and outros
I like the album outro of destiny more than the in game one tbh
It's definitely sadder and fits better to what happened to someya after the fight
Someya showed us that what's on the inside means everything. No fancy ass tattoo, and no amount of money will make you an honorable man.
Now this is a bar fight
My favourite part of yakuza 6 was when someya said "wow, I guess it was my destiny to become the yakuza 6: the song of life" and then he someya'd all over himself
This is my bloodstained philosophy, Kiryu san

I was wondering why the music was all emotional when I first played. after the cutscene, I myself got emotional. such a beautiful story for someya

No need to compare the two, we don’t have to lose our heads over this… much unlike Tsuyoshi Kanda.
Someya is definitely a character in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
One of the characters of all time
The yokohama gang were characters in Y6, Someya was THE character in Yakuza 6: The song of life
Someya is a cheater! how is anyone supposed to beat this fight with this absolute BANGER playing???
Someya deserved better
Someya and mine deserved better
Such a great game with powerful storytelling.
Perfeição
Finalmente um br.
This is why I like asshole and cocky characters, because then we have cases like Someya where he gained my whole respect and almost cried when he stabbed himself to save Kiyomi.
You gained a spot in my heart, Someya.
he could’ve get back in good terms with his wife if it wasn’t for them threatening to kill his wife if he failed to stop kiryu
ah depression
1:14 I can't be the only one hearing end of denial in the background ?
Honestly i hated him at first but this fight... Man he deserved better. R.I.P someya
The best in the whole game imo.
Very sad soundtrack but relatable.

Should have been the final boss

biggest flaws in this game are it doesnt have 6 yakuzas and the PC optimization
