- A very intense fight that is much more symbolic to Kiryu than it initially seems, you'll know what I mean if you watch it all. I'll let the video tell you all about it.

Come to think of it, Hirose finally getting to see the Secret of Onomichi before he died reminds me of how Yumi got the flower tattoo showing that she wanted to see Kiryu again even if it was just for one night.
They definitely made connections with this boss and story.
And Hirose revealing why he took the boys in right before he died reminds me of Shintaro Kazama revealing the truth on why he built Sunflower Orphanage
MASSIVE JUDGMENT ENDING SPOILERS
It's also like how Kuroiwa finally got to see why his victims had to have their eyes gouged out because of AD-9
You can tell Kiryu saw Kazama in Hirose's action and his death
it hurts and heartbreaking which he can relate to those guys which they look up their idol and then later they found out were been living with the terrible lie and faced the ugly truth about it
I was waiting for someone to make that connection.
That kind of parallelism is everywhere in Yakuza 6

True, I think another link is the Nagumo-Kiyomi-Someya triangle. It parallels Kiryu-Yumi-Jingu, where his childhood love had a child with a scumbag, and he feels some duty to look after the child like his own once the parents are dead.
Like you could replace Hirose with Kazama, and you’ve got one of the most decisive battles between father and son.
This is the true Takeshi's challenge. The boss fight where you literally Beat Takeshi.
double pun
Best comment I've seen all day.
Ugh, really?
*AAA-JHAAA-SHH-BAD GAME, 2/10!!*
[HEAT punch]
lol
Good news: He's not holed up in a castle nor forcing you to engage in insanely difficult trials born from his drunken ramblings.
Bad news: He has a knife.
That's is better
@@jcdentongaming1304 wdym by better, he literally threw it accurately into someone's throat in battle royale.
yakuza kiwami 2 mod where hirose is the final boss of osaka castle. make it happen modding community
are you defining hirose or majima?
@@parneetkaur6612 homare nishitani iii
This guy doesn't even make painful cries when getting hit by heat actions. Pretty creepy
And I think his VA/face model Takeshi Kitano can't strain his voice due to his age.
@@bappojujubes981 it worked out lol
I love how Hirose is the shortest person in the room yet he's the scariest
And probably one of the strongest boss in the series lore wise.
@@KoreanSpy1997 he's literally like 70 in this game, if he was 20 any of our beloved main characters would have lost. It's insane to think about how old he is yet how skilled
@@auhs6240 Wiki says he's 85
@@heisenberg7276 as if that detracts from my point
@@KoreanSpy1997 in comparison to Joji kazama
This fight is silent and creepy, that someone is literally out to kill you in cold blood with no sign of remorse, probably one of the most well done boss fights in the game in my opinion.
Then when you finish the fight and learn the truth, it becomes tragic and heartbreaking
Daniel _ KB The fact that Hirose doesn't cry in pain when getting in hit is pretty creepy as well. Just a few painful gasps and some mumbling
I was tearing up hard after the fight.
It's like Lao Gui but even more terrifying.
If you watch Beat Takeshi's crime movies it's pretty much like this.
Still love that scene where they’ll all laughing in the family office and Hirose just appears out of nowhere laughing with them
And three seconds later he starts riding yuta
@@Isiauwuehrifi This sounds so wrong out of context xD
@@jamesglovecrazy i really hate my mind, even though i know what was actually happened on that scene

Its like he's studying each of Kiryu's moves. He seems extremely calculative. Very patient and shows no sign of sympathy or fear. He knows that he's facing one of the most legendary Yakuza figures in all of Japan, but he's completely calm. This dude's scary.
Prime Kiryu(Y5) also will have super difficulty against Hirose prime for sure.
@@Freakin_Fazed hirose prime wouldn't summon shadow clones he would summon the fog
It's impossible not to remember Kazama in the first game. This scene is totally a homage to the death of Kiryu's foster father. It's like him and Hirose are related somehow.
Yakuza 6 in general was an ode to Kiryu's life. It started with his daughter running away, much like he did in 0, then eventually he got to Onomichi and met a persistent jackass who came to love him like a brother, like in 3, and then the father of the baby of his daughter tries to kill himself for the sake of peace in a completely justified but blinded manor, like he has many times throughout the games (especially Yakuza 2 on top of the Kamurocho Hills tower), and then he sees the father figure to the family he hung around die in their arms after revealing that he was an assassin and that he killed their parents...
hirose was a mix of nakahara and kazama with a bit of shinada's story placed in the middle. his fighting reminded me less of a stone cold killer and more of a guardian of onomichi.
this is for all the Takeshi challenges old man
I guess you know him,Takeshi of Takeshi Castle.Did you have any family relatives who join Takeshi Castle in 1986-1989
Friendly reminder Hirose is 85 years old. Imagine him in his prime
Oh god no
Prime Hirose would be an Amon fight in the main story
You know, we've fought some killers in these games, some stone cold faced killers..but hirose..I didn't expect him to be anything other than that loving grandpa you talk to and have a few beers with. But fighting him in this fight where he seems to just tank all your blows, even counter some of them, while pretty much being deadly accurate with these knives just..yeah..it was unsettling what a calm demeanor can hide.
Kiryu getting that PTSD at the end. Damn.
Reminded him of his father figure. Shintaro Kazama.
My thoughts exactly
When i saw Kiryus face at that moment, I immediately thought back to Kiwami and shed a tear
"Kazama-oyasan..."
I think what really scares me is just how willing to kill Kiryu Hirose actually is, he knows Kiryu is fighting like hell for the safety of a baby that even he's come to know, that he's a father figure just like him who's worried beyond measure about his adopted daughter and yet even after the bond he's made with Kiryu, he doesn't stop at outright murdering you for a secret even he doesn't know.
Because he doesn't want to disappoint his father. Only time he wavers is with his sons, which is a testament to how much they mean to him
This boss fight is so good because the atmosphere is so different from anything in the series
As far as hiring actors, Sega really went all out with Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 6
Kiryu really get close to cry at the end there goddamn he's remind him to Kazama and his reason why he adopted him.
Kiryu needs a massive hug after this one.
Everyone present with Hirose till his death needs a massive hug.
i would love to hug kiryu
@@shugafoo2847 who wouldn't?? I want in.
genuinely the most intimidated ive ever been by a boss fight in this franchise. hes not even that hard or anything its just. the knife. the way he moves. the fact that he barely makes a sound as you clobber him. kurusu called him the strongest man in hiroshima and this game sure as hell sold me on it
when you pull a simple lever in a red-lit room but it turns out you restored one of the biggest and most powerful battleship used in WW2.
@Lurking Carrier that is because it is an improved version, that is why it was a secret
Seriously though, this boss fight is now one of my favorite in the entire series. Between the OST, atmosphere, the parallels to Kazama, and Hirose's Michael Myers-esque movement, it was absolutely fantastic in its execution.
3:13 damn that send chill down to my spine, I wonder how powerful hirose is in his prime day, damn this old man is strong, one of the best character in yakuza series for sure
Agree , so underrated character
Its actually conserning how barely hirose makes any noise when being hurt its like he barely feels it and thats scary asf
Congratulation Kiryu for making it to Takeshi's Castle last stage..
*AND CONGRATULATION TOO ON YOUR VICTORY!!!*
Seriously fighting Takeshi in a Yakuza game is just like fighting Clint Eastwood in a Western game.Seriously just thinking of the thought of fighting Clint Eastwood as an RDR boss gives me chills
A lot of people say how this fight was scary, and I’m not denying that, but what I felt in this fight was sadness. I was sad that I had to fight Hirose and it just felt like I was fighting someone that had been worn out by life, with nothing but protecting the secret carrying him on through life.
4:33 *AND IT WILL COME. LIKE A FLOOD OF PAIN. POURING DOWN ON ME.*
AND IT WILL NOT LET UP. UNTIL THE END IS HERE
7:42 he cut through a tiger drop
8:13 Hirose just casually dabbing on Kiryu to prove who was the true victor of the fight.
lmaoooooo
This games story...knows how to hit you in the feels.
That`s a punch to the gut for Kiryu. Just like in Yakuza 1, too, man... :(
Kiryu at the moment, holy crap seeing that again for the second time decade later still hurts
I wonder how much stronger and faster Hirose was in his prime, he was probably the best hitman in the region that is Yomei territory in his prime.
My favorite boss of all time- a old man with a kitchen knife!
Korean mafia assassin's uses these type of knifes.
* *Spoiler* * He also used to kill people who knows about the secret
@@CColdSpaghetti there, fixed it, thanks for correcting.
Bruh by this point in the game thats already been revealed lmao
Kiryu really have fought famous people in this series.
Albert Wesker, Reggie fils Aimee, satoru iwata and now, beat takeshi
Fear an old man still working in a profession where people tend to die young...
I don't know why but to me Hirose was far and away the most fearsome boss I have fought in Yakuza Saga. Not the difficulty of the fight itself. Just the pressure of an old Takeshi Kitano walking towards you with a knife in his hand
To think Hirose was betrayed by a man he saw as a father. I’m glad there are no more Iwami’s anymore in the Yakuza series because seriously the reason why Heizo kept the Yamato MK 2 secret was so he could keep having influence over Daidoji and Tsuneo, well, he was just worthless
He is not actually betrayed. Hirose already know heizo is a dead man walking after that
he is so old, yet he was a fucking legendary boss fight. ultra fun and difficult and u feel like God of Hiroshima Vs Dragon of Dojima. God damn the pacing, the music the quicktime events, the build up, everything of this fight was legendary.
I like how Hirose walks slowly at you with a knife just like a Tonberry most of the time in this fight.
If Kiryu fought Shintaro in his Dojima days this would have what the fight felt like. No remorse even for those he call his family
Shintaro Kazama killed the biological parents of Yumi, Nishiki, & Kiryu back when they were little kids; Nishiki & Kiryu didn't join the Tojo Clan until 1985 when they were 17 as confirmed by Nishiki- 3 years before the events of Yakuza Zero (1988) when they were 20.
@@AngelKnightZeo713 nah man according to the movie (lol) yumi mom dies when a yakuza uses an uzi but failed to control the recoil
@son bun Yakuza -1 lol
outstanding, considering also that according to the flashbacks revealed during the story and that y6 events happen in 2016, hirose should be >80 years old and his boss >100
hes 85 lol
So I’ve been watching battle royale the movie where they get problem kids to kill each other in Japan and I’ve just realised Hirose is the same actor that was the instructor for the battle royale act :O he’s a great actor and amazing character in this game.
Great director, too, check out the Outrage trilogy
Takeshi Kitano is probably the most famous actor to appear in Yakuza. His films have directly inspired pretty much every Yakuza game.
I’ll check it out! I think he’s quite good as multiple roles in the filming industry. 🙏
Yuta is also the mc in battle royale
The OST in the fight is one of the most unique in the franchise, i could totally see it in a Final Fantasy or Metal Gear final bosses, just incredible.
Him raising his voice is so scary, its like in that moment he broke the facade of the friendly grandpa
Does this mean kiryu beat takeshi's challenge?
Just takeshi
....seeing the end of this fight, I'm just glad they didn't show a quick flashback of Kazama-san Killing Kiryus real parents in Y1 or KIWAMI 1.
if that happened it would have Broke me.
No kidding, this scene made me cry.
Timestamp?
@@nottuu after fight
same
It seem Kiryu is brave enough take final challenge to against Count Takeshi.
15:35 "A real man... ought to be a little stupid."
Takeshi Kitano is Japanese Chuck Norris. Always like his movie as an actor and director especially about Yakuza. He should been in this franchise and and we finally got it
RGG studios got the perfect actor for Kiryu’s final chapter.
After this fight I took a break because this was an emotional punch to the gut for the Hirose family, Kiryu and for the player.
So, how was the ending?
@@joshuaorejenes3671 A tearjerker.
@@joshuaorejenes3671 Really rough, and easily the most divisive game ending in the series.
@@GoldStorm07 I binged 0 to 6 on YT (Don't have money to get playstation and games :( ) and this thing is a damn gut punch. Would love to play this myself one day.
@@joshuaorejenes3671 All the games are on PC now through Steam, and they go on sale every once in a while. I think Kiwami 2 is the only one that costs more than $20 for its standard price.
all hell gonna break loose between 2 legends for the fight to the death
I though onomichi secret was nuclear powerplant or nuclear weapons back in ww2.never though it would be a classified ww2 battleship
Nah, you got that wrong. The secret of Onomichi isn’t the battleship. It’s the secret connection between the Iwami ship building/Yomei Alliance and Daidoji. The battleship is simply the physical proof that such pact exist.
BRIAN Shooter672 ourdgo
I was hoping it was a metal gear.
That’s what I thought it was
well, kiryu is already a weapon to surpass metal gear...
Funny idea but, a DLC featuring Toru Hirose will be quite nice I think, story of how he join Yomei alliance, and climb up in rank, then how he build the relationship with them, and then killed them, and then recruit their children
No it wouldn't hirose was nothing more then a dog chasing after food he killed all those people for a secret he didn't care what it was about all to please a weak man I had no sympathy for him he was cold blooded like thorfinn in season 1 of the vinland saga
Holy jesus, The secret of Onomichi's reveal is giving me the chills.
Oh ma god its shadow mosses
Wait....thats....the Teacher?
Battle Royale Teacher????
Nooooooo
Yuta was in Battle Royale too.
Heizo Iwami didn't (nor did he even try to) shoot Kiryu and others after he shot Hirose, and even let Tagashira to take the gun from him.
I want to think that Heizo Iwami felt a great amount of guilt in his heart after he shot Hirose, so great that he didn't shoot anyone there, not even Kiryu. Right after the secret of Onomichi was exposed, he knew he would eventually be killed by either assassination or else by Daidoji's men, which led Hirose saying Heizo Iwami is a dead man walking at that point. He probably killed Hirose personally so Hirose wouldn't be targeted by Daidoji's men.
6:21 FINALLY
Of all the things in this game that made me actually start bawling is when Matsunaga's father dropped that Yamato battleship replica.
Even a member of the Yakuza can care and love their son...
Thats the thing. They might be the member of a criminal organization or a shady group, but that doesnt mean they don't have the capacity to love and be genuinely caring. Look at Someya aswell - he might've been yakuza, but as you know he loves his daughter and is willing to sacrifice himself for his ex wife and daughter.
So the secret of Onomichi is basically Laplace’s box from Gundam Unicorn. A giant political scandal that could destroy an entire government that was used as massive leverage.
When i played this i really liked hirose but when i got to this point i was kind of sad he was one of my favorite characters in yakuza 6
Kurusu looking like he's about to enter valhalla
Anybody feel bad for Hirose?
yes
17:51 either Heizo pulled out his gun REALLY fast or somehow he's able to pull out his gun without being noticed by 5 other people
Pay attention to his hands. They were behind his back for most of the conversation. He probably already had the gun in hand. For insurance policy.
Looks like an old World War 2 battleship. My grandfather (my mother's father) was a sailor during that war. He was on hospital ships, but I think he saw a few of those.
Yamato...
Yamato...
That is correct, but at the same time, it isn't. Those 2-guns turrets? They're probably from another battleship design that was never realised at the end of WWII, the Super Yamato. Most likely a much larger calibers; 51cm.
the Yamato Kai 2 plan?
Possible, but yes. The plan is there; to give the newer Yamato-class battleship more firepower than ever.
This was the first yakuza video i ever looked back in time
Anyone gonna talk that he almost completely disappeared from kiryu's sight in the last qte and just appeared underneath him in a split second. Bare it in mind Kiryu has the reflexes to catch bullets. Scared the fuck outta me when it came.
Felt like you fight a Tonberry. Slow, doesn't flinch, but that kitchen knife will f*** you up.
Kiryu VS Japanese Michael Myers
Epic battle! XD
Toru Hirose's face and voice is actually acted by a famous Japanese actor and director.
A man who hates video games nonetheless.
Beat Takeshi
Hirose was not really a good guy ( He is kinda in a grey area actually ), but i felt sorry for him in the scene that the guy he saw as a father and that he obeyed all orders blindly until now ( was not able to kill only those he saw as his children ), shot him.
A equivalent of this act would be Kazama killing Kiryu because he wasn't able to kill Haruka because she discover something that she shouldn't.
In the end Hirose was only a tool to him.
Because of what he did in that situation, i found satisfying that Heizo was killed by his son's order off all people, and you can see in his face that he got hurt with that betrayal.
Imagine, just IMAGINE. IF HIROSE FIGHT MAJIMA
Man, I love this character, he wss always charismatic yet calm yet scary, her voice is also nice to heard and her battle theme, gosh, my fav theme from this tittle so far
Secrets are funny things, they coming afloat eventually.
This is why Yakuza 6 has canceled in South Korea... A Yamato Battleship MK-II. A symbol of Imperial Japanese Navy Force. Since South Korea suffered a Japanese Colonial Period, and it became unacceptable contents in Korea;That's why Sony Interactive Entertainment Korea which publisher of Yakuza series in Korea, has forbid the game. But seriously. It's just a game! It's not very bad! WTF SIEK are doing!?
P.S. RIP Tohru Hirose... who guardian of "It of Onomichi."
I mean, the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was banned in Russia because two tragedies that America was responsible for were blamed on Russia.
Probably because of Joon gi Han
I kinda felt bad
Having to fight a elder like that
Definitely some kazama vibes poor kiryu remembers, on a side note , that's a pretty sexy cry kiryu
9:39 see, that's your problem. When you wanna keep a secret, you ain't gonna use no big lever that screams "pull me".
We have a winner at takeshi’s castle! And you wanna know what he wins? Absolutely nothing!
Beating Takeshi
i loved this boss fight, how meticulous he is, he fills like fighting and assasinn not a fighter
I thought Tagashira pulled the big lever for self destruct button.
That would be funny as hell
Plot twist. Remember at the end of the takeshi challenge video game where it was just the head saying good job?
Inside the safe is the rest of the body.
Rip Takeshi :C
If you notice Hirose it really tough
like he can not be take down unless you use heat action
Most of the bosses being easily kick and easily fell down on the ground but Hirose.... oof, No matter how much we try unless we use heat action
Hirose is like a Tonberry.
Shintaro Kazama 2.0
One of my favorite bosses in Yakuza 6
Toru Hirose (Qui garde un secret).
to mean something to someone... isn't this what we all want
Metal Gear?!
Tonberry Hirose.
Yup.
You can see the resemblance 😂
6:37 this part scared me and I almost missed the qte
I cant believe Yakuza is getting a Battle Royale mode
What?
@@MuradFromDMC If you saw the movie I am referencing...
TFW you have to fight an aging japanese comedian.
Can't wait to get this game when I get to a store. I wanted to know why a presumably obsolete WWII battleship was the secret of the town and why the Japanese government don't have their hands on that thing?
Tovarish Tony If you wanna know early, the ship WAS in fact built during WW2, using illicit funds embezzled from the government. It was the foundation for the Yomei Alliance, and the reason Iwami Shipbuilding is so powerful with the government: It's blackmail material.
It's also the Saio Triad's bargaining chip, allowing them Little Asia in the process.
I see as I thought the secret of the town was a hidden nuclear weapon or nuclear launch codes. This corruption scheme does remind me of Jingu from the first game or Kiwami.
It also should be mentioned that under Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, ratified in 1947, Japan is not allowed to maintain a force capable of waging war. Which, provided I'm not wrong, makes it even bigger in terms of blackmail, because literally any politician tied to this would get their career annihilated by it. Hence why Kiryu is able to do what he did at the end of the game.
Not exactly. The career-ending aspect has nothing to do with the post-War treaty, as no one in government intends the ship to be used - nay, even to continue existing. A single WW2-era ship prolly doesn't mean much in modern warfare, nor appreciably contribute to war-capable armed forces, either.
It's just corruption all the way down: the illicit funding to commission the ship mid-war, and all the benefits offered by the dying big brass' pupils in the various parts of the government to the shipbuilding company, just to keep their mouths shut, over all these years.
