This man is 60+ and can still kick ass. How crazy is that? Also, I'll give him this, it's not everyday Kiryu gets to fight someone who's been in the game longer than him.
And even when he's at death's door, Kiryu's still a beast since he alone gave Sawashiro a run for his money. Compare that to the last game where it was the other way around with Ichiban's crew.
@@yourboyrussell6738 Well, going by cutscenes, Kiryu vs Sawashiro was a 5v5. Assuming each member took 1 guy, and Kiryu 1v1'ed Sawashiro, yep, he's a beast alright. Also, I wonder how Sawashiro feels about Kiryu. Not only is he Kiryu's senior (in age) but he also outranked him until Kiryu became the chairman. Must be weird meeting a same generation Yakuza as you in your old age when you never met while working for the Tojo.
@@WebbedManiac At best, I feel like Kiryu might regard him in a similar way as Kashiwagi back when he was a lowly grunt for the Kazama Family. But since he'd rather spend his time _outside_ of the yakuza (and y'know, Fourth Chairman for all of 15 minutes), I don't think Kiryu would really give Sawashiro a second glance; to him, he might as well be just another top brass yakuza he's crossed paths with. At least until the two would eventually trade blows, anyway. Seeing as Kiryu's the kind of guy who speaks with his fists.
Don't quote me on that, because I only played, 7, Gaiden, 8 and 1, but Considering Kiryu spent 10 years in....carcerated and some other years in hiding, I'd say most of his oponents have been in the game longer than him.
@@ritacirocavalcanteSurprisingly, he’s got a diverse lineup when we’re talking age. His major opponents in 2, 3, 4 if you count his specific finale boss and not the big bad of the story who he doesn’t personally fight, 5, and 6 are all relative greenhorns. _However,_ many of his minor antagonists happen to have either similar or longer tenure as yakuza. Kiryu, among many other admirable traits, is generally also very personable regardless of age group. In nearly every game, he allies himself with people either notably older or younger than him. It’s one of his many mystical qualities as a legend.

@@charliemcmillan4561I’m sure he’s had the thought. Like him being essentially the same generation of Yakuza, and knowing his status of the Dragon of Dojima. I’m sure it’s more of him wanting to see his feats for himself.
The original Brutality had this desperate edge to it, like you were in a fight to the death against a guy who didn't care what happened to him, but this new version is less desperate, more epic, like you were all waiting for this fight after Sawashiro basically invited Kiryu and co to come and pay him a visit in a roundabout way of his helping out. Then for some reason goes into a crazy breakdown at the halfway point, lol. Plus, that dynamic intro of Kiryu kicking the box into splinters and Jo grabbing a knife out of mid-air and tossing it at Kiryu before grabbing his trick cane is easily one of the best in the whole game. Plus, rather than just cycling through his different weapons in phases, he switches them out as he goes like he's a DMC character.
The breakdown is just Sawashiro realizing he's gotta dial it in. Cancer or not, when you're up against the Dragon of Dojima it's either lock in or get your ass beat
I used the Yuya/Kazuki poundmate on this fight and the way Sawashiro looked away bashfully when they tried to seduce him will be seared into my brain forever
This is just a great example of how goated the Yakuza series music is, that so many soundtracks can be explained as “this song is like if (insert Kiwami 2 ost) and (insert Yakuza 6 ost) had a child and their cool uncle was (insert Like a dragon gaiden ost) by fans 😂
Sawashiro is honestly one of my favorite fights in the series, just on presentation alone. Even when he's on the backfoot of a fight, it feels like he's in control of the situation. I remember my first thought when I fought him back in 7 being "There's no way this guy would kill someone so sloppily that he'd need Ichiban to take the fall for it."
there's a part closer to the beginning of 8 where him and ichiban are talking and I think in reference to him getting out early to oversee the waste disposal he says something along the lines of "they're still yakuza, commanded by power, and no one's as much of a goddamn animal as me" I love him
Didn't Jo kill that one dude because it was part of the big conspiracy? Or was he just pissed off that night? It's been a while since I played Yakuza 7...
@@jamesnorman9160 He didn't kill him at all. Masato killed him by accident after he left the club on New Year's Eve. Arakawa just told Ichiban that Jo did it to spare his feelings.
Funny you say that because the first time JO was introduced in any RGG game it was Yakuza online prior to Y7 being released he had the theme God Complex back then. just a fun fact.
@@GoodOlFiddle glad you liked it. I don't think Yakuza online is a thing anymore but if you look up the OST you'll see all the music they used for other games inducing God complex for Jo.
*A Seiryu grunt throws a crate at Kiryu, who destroys it with a kick* *A pocket knife flies out of it and Sawashiro grabs it, throwing it at his opponent, who effortlessly dodges* *Sawashiro summersaults, grabs his cane, and lunges at Kiryu, who dodges and blocks the attack using his wrist* *Former captain of the Arakawa Family, Omi Alliance* *Jo Sawashiro*

My biggest regret for this fight was I went kind of wild doing side stuff for Kiryu, so I was 5+ levels above Sawashiro, didn't really make it a fair fight. Next time I play through will save that for later to experience the full hype of this song and boss.
i think having sawashiro as ichiban's kind of majima is a really fun one. majima had an ideology of an old school yakuza and used that while acting crazy to go along with life sawashiro is literally just ichiban's angry uncle thats superior to you in every way. hes a generation older than you, higher rank than you, probably stronger than you. but unlike majima, hes mad and depressed and the only way he can take it out is on everybody that mighta wronged him, which includes ichiban being a dumb fool 20 years ago TLDR: majima is coping, sawashiro is seething
i love the song but i'm pissed the name is just "brutality rebuild", i remember when the songs' official name wasn't known so it was just referred to as "atrocity" and that name is so much fucking cooler
Yo imagine how sick it’d be to have Sawashiro as a party member in 9? Since Kiryu probably isn’t coming back again, Sawashiro could have the multiple stances mechanic with his weapons.
Back in 7, Sawashiro holding back against Ichi since he's playing around. But now, Since he's fighting against (former) Dragon of Dojima himself, We finally seen Sawashiro fighting in full power. Part of me glad that Sawashiro was holding back back then. Or else, Ichiban wouldn't have chance to met Akane and Tomizawa...

I think this game was Sawashiro paying for his sins in a way. Seeing him ask Ichiban for help was very reminiscent of Arakawa asking Ichiban to do that jail sentence.
What was sawashiro's tattoo again? I remember someone saying its a dragon fish or something like that but idk if it's true or the guy was just hoping it is.
Reminder that Sawashiro has probably never fought seriously. In all his fights, he never really had a motivation to actually want to win, and more so in this one, where he was probably looking to lose.
Heyyyy guess who was right about this theme being a collab between chihiro aoki and 83key. (I still don't get why many were the opinion she made it alone you can clearly hear the 83key beat)
I mean he has been called Strongest Yakuza Character for a reason. In Yakuza world, Dragon is like top dog there. Dragon refer as apex predator of Yakuza world. So, Even with cancer, He will still gave you good fight.
Not in this game he would have solo'd everything if he didn't and gaiden takes places before/during y7, cancer didn't really developed in him at that time.

Cancer my ass kiryu moved like superman in this game and gaiden
I think he was his canonical strongest in gaiden
I mean he has been called Strongest Yakuza Character for a reason. In Yakuza world, Dragon is like top dog there. Dragon refer as apex predator of Yakuza world.
So, Even with cancer, He will still gave you good fight.
Not in this game he would have solo'd everything if he didn't and gaiden takes places before/during y7, cancer didn't really developed in him at that time.
I press hold R2 and i heard another song 😅
Hey what's the song that plays when kiryu says he will help tomizawa? When they are at akanes house with yamai?
the song is called "Cut Scene: Betrayal and Trust"
@@RandomCollection04 While we are on this topic, do you know the sad song that plays when Hanawa tells Kiryu to go back to Japan
