When Kuroiwa said "So thats why..." it implies that he wasn't sure why Shono was ordering him to gouge the victims eyes, but he was like "welp, thats the job, eye plucking it is"
He didn't gouge out the eyes of anyone except Shintani, who was murdered because he investigated the ADDC rather than being a test subject. Because Shintani's eyes were just normal, Kuroiwa didn't understand why the test subjects kept getting their eyes gouged. It wasn't until he saw the effects of AD-9 for himself, the blue eyes, that he understood why Shono removed the eyes.
@@DarkkirbyKRPG Yeah your kinda right. He knew about the eye gouging (as a cop dealing with them, and on the news) and he even did it once himself but didn't understand the need. After seeing the blue eyes of Shono, he understood that it was to make all murders alike, otherwise detectives will check why were his eyes spared unlike the rest. Fun theory I red later is about Waku, the first patient Shono killed (The old guy). His eyes weren't removed, but since he was buried in such a rush, he body has severily deteriorated and his eyes were probably gone by then.
@@DarkkirbyKRPGit’s funny how nobody ever talks about this but Yagami made The Mole title because the killer kept digging peoples eyes out, creating a much bigger hole of murders. In reality, the Mole the entire time was actually Shono, the guy removing the victims eyes and not Kuroiwa, the guy who was dropping these corpses who didn’t even harm these guys one bit. Literally nobody in the fandom talks about this and it slightly irks me lol. Fantastic writing.
You don't want to fuck around with a man who can manage to beat a man to death in *Kamurocho,* of all places, where people regularly survive getting tossed off buildings and through plate glass.
Throughout the game I disliked Shono because he was pretty much a coward who's hiding behind an "ends justifies the means" reason for all the murders he did. But in the end, I can't help but feel sorry for the guy, for all the criminal acts and all the sins he did, all so he could save other people from what his family suffered, it just ends in a stunning failure and he most likely realized that as AD-9 eats him away. Though I guess brutally dying the same way your patients did, by your own hands, no less, is pretty much a karmic justice.
@@hsemicolonc That implies that I made this with the intention. Most of the comments I do on this aren't even about JoJo. I love the series well enough, I don't think I need to constantly spout beaten to death JoJo memes or references just to prove to people how much I love the series. And yes, I have been keeping up with Part 8, I never really stopped.
It's like Morita, I hated him but when you learn his past...the same goes for Hamura, all he did was for the Matsugane Family but he was extreme...at least Hamura redeems himself in the end...Great game
Yeah, except kuroiwa. Most antagonist in this series, have their ironic reason. Shono and morita because family death, hamura because want to help his clan family, kido because didn't have any choice.
When I first time reaching this cutscene and seeing how Shono die,I went "Holy Shit...". Like,I seen many deaths in their past games but this one just hit different...
I love those transition in battle ! 17:27 this is probably the face you make when you have a sudden diarrhea in the subway PS: It's just me or Kuroiwa was easier than Koga ? Kuroiwa's death was satisfying in my opinion
Koga is only difficult because of how guns work with the mortal wound system. Any character who fights with guns from the entire series would be mad annoying to find with the mortal wound system.
Koga's moveset is from Yakuza 3 and is much more manageable in that game since bullets track less and Kiryu doesn't keel over whenever his shoulder gets grazed
Dang this gamplay got so many dramatic moments. From speak loudly while killer finding you to killer got shot who knows so many times and stll have a little chit chat
in real life you *could* shit yourself, not at all a definite thing, body kicks and teeps land very hard all the time in combat sports and people don't just shit themselves on contact
This game easily became my second favourite RGG studios game behind the original Yakuza 2, that plot was just too well done, every plot twist up until the final 2 chapters were predictable if you were paying attention to the plot, which I really liked; if you were thinking, you'd predict what's going on. But the curve balls of Sugiura being Emi's brother and this blue eye reveal had me going fuckin' wild, I couldn't have predicted that whatsoever, and the fact they held onto the blue eye reveal until the very last cutscene was 10/10. Was an amazing twist, and I know when I eventually replay or whatever, I'm gonna try see how much foreshadowing there is to these two twists, cause I was completely dumbfounded by these two twists and honestly, it made me so happy, it wasn't a stupid plot twist like fucking rubber bullets. Or one where they just go "oh that dude you know? actually a bad guy secretly"
The guy in the black coat is a serial killer that has killed dozens in order to test an experimental medicine for alzheimers(he also gouges the eyes of his victims out because the drug he uses turns their eyes blue) The protag is a detective trying to solve the case
I love how all throughout the game, Shono looks like the meekest man alive on the planet. Like, whenever you run into him, he looks like he's either super depressed, or like he's about to cry because his boss yelled at him. Never expected a guy like him to be the big bad of the whole story.
Tengu Ryu the makers of these yakuza games have a weird habit of making otherwise regular 9-5-ers into martial arts masters (akiyama for one). I was actually surprised they took the time to explain how yagami knew kung fu in the story instead of just being like here's a lawyer that inexplicably knows tiger style kung fu
They did explain this issue, Kuroiwa was taught everything (especially his moves) by his deceased mentor/master, all other training and learning is from the police force.
Kiryu by far. He simply has decades worth of experience, fought against a hundred people (Yakuza 5), fought *TWO* Tigers (Yakuza 2/Kiwami 2) and is the most feared Yakuza in Kamarocho. Don't mess with the Dragon of Dojima bois
What do you guys expect lol, an extremely infamous yakuza who breezes on mobs, and has undergone some serious torment throughout his life (20 to 48 y/o) compared to an ex-lawyer who barely even a fighter like yagami? Come to your sense, man! Xd
kiryu has 2 problems : ages and motives. Yagami 's just 35 , when Kiryu is near 50 now. His strength and flexiblity are reduced. And Kiryu 's just really strong when anyone try to hurt his family or pick a fight with. Maybe Yagami still stand a chance with the martial arts. If Yagami fought Kiryu in Kiwami 2, he's fucked.
Indonesian, this is fiction It's not fun at all to make everything real. If you make it real, the battle will end in 10 seconds. and This is not just Japan, it is the same in all countries except Indonesia.
It's boring to pose serious questions to these fictions. you guys always joke like this “Why do they all speak and understand Japanese even though they are foreigners?” “Why are they speaking Japanese when they are aliens?” “Why can't their clothes be torn?” “Why don't they attack them while they're talking so long?” because it's FICTION entertainment
Tanihara (Kuroiwa's actor) : Aite, gotta get in shape for my role as this badass so imma... quit boozin' (for a bit)! I know, I know don't gotta tell me how admirable I am 👺 SEGA, 2 wks later: You did what? Oh! That wasn't necessary, you know. We just need your data. After that, we can manipulate it any which way we want. Tee-hee! ❤️ Ya silly goose. Tanihara: ......*mumble* SEGA: Hm? What? Could you speak up a bit so those at the back can hear as well? Tanihara: I SAID! THOSE @#¥&% TWO WEEKS I SPENT SOBER! GIVE EM BACK! ¥#&#%@
Lol. Hard to blame you for thinking this. Kimura's got a low, husky voice as well. If I didn't already know who he is and what he sounds like, I'd have thought the same as you. Really threw me for a loop when I heard the EN voice they selected for him. But after I got used to it, I think it also works. Gives Yagami a different vibe but it still works.
Shono is the best example of how the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Indeed
You're right, he's even worse like Jingu and Kume (Yakuza series), His gruesome death would not be enough for him.
When Kuroiwa said "So thats why..." it implies that he wasn't sure why Shono was ordering him to gouge the victims eyes, but he was like "welp, thats the job, eye plucking it is"
He didn't gouge out the eyes of anyone except Shintani, who was murdered because he investigated the ADDC rather than being a test subject. Because Shintani's eyes were just normal, Kuroiwa didn't understand why the test subjects kept getting their eyes gouged.

Kuroiwa was a genuinely intimidating villain
You don't want to fuck around with a man who can manage to beat a man to death in *Kamurocho,* of all places, where people regularly survive getting tossed off buildings and through plate glass.
Or hold the record for the biggest body count for people who could fight back
Every time he popped up in the raincoat I was worried who was gonna die.
I don’t really find him as a good character
@@datboii4953 He didn't have much depth, since they didn't take that much time to develop his character.
He's definitely intimidating though.

Imagine fighting a serial killer and you just pull out 2 bottles of beer and chug them then beat him while drunk
Kuroiwa watching the guy he's already tried to kill pull 3 beers out of nowhere: 👁👄👁
"Dude, You think you're Jackie Chan? No way lowly detective like you would know single shit about drunken fi----"
Kuroiwa watching me shotgun 3 beers before downing 10 pizza buns to beat his ass
This game was so fuckin good. Expected nothing less of Sega and Ryu ga Gotoku Studio.
When I first time reaching this cutscene and seeing how Shono die,I went "Holy Shit...".
Like,I seen many deaths in their past games but this one just hit different...
Kaito:You thought he'd stop because you told him to?

90bhours of gameplay and im still playing.Altrough i prefered Yakuza 6 in terms of gameplay(slightly)This game has one of the best storylines.Ever.
They should make this in a japanese drama featuring all the voice actors in the games
Yagami, Takuya Kimura in the real life plays in several japanese TV dram, he even played a lawyer
Dayum I kinda wanna see him fucking flying off the wall and kicking people in the face
I think they're working on a movie based on the main yakuza series
it was originally a TV drama play but somehow they where not doing it, so the game company bought this play and made it happen
@@ezlomacks6533 it was already msde
I think that the RGG games are the new breadwinners for SEGA as opposed to the Sonic games
To be fair, they are consistently amazing, and pushing all their limits in innovation the right way.
Love the way you used the beer in the first part lol
Meanwhile Kiryu is relaxing drinking champagne knowing he can rest without having to deal with everything that happened in judgement
16:50 That’s no excuse for all of the atrocities that Shono committed.
I love those transition in battle !
17:27 this is probably the face you make when you have a sudden diarrhea in the subway
PS: It's just me or Kuroiwa was easier than Koga ? Kuroiwa's death was satisfying in my opinion
this comment is a rollercoaster
Koga is only difficult because of how guns work with the mortal wound system. Any character who fights with guns from the entire series would be mad annoying to find with the mortal wound system.
This just made me think about how terrible the Kiwami 1 Arase fight would be with the mortal wound feature
Hahahaha
Koga's moveset is from Yakuza 3 and is much more manageable in that game since bullets track less and Kiryu doesn't keel over whenever his shoulder gets grazed
hope there would be Judgement 2
No more sequel for this.
@@B4RC0D3_YT but they developers already planned to make a sequel due to success tho
@@sentrogaspers9813 I think the story is the story, so I'm afraid they may not make the sequel.

Shono looked like he was about to turn into a Resident Evil bossfight.
I legit was expecting him to turn into a giant monster or something
Drunken fist finisher, I love it!

So Yagami is type a Vigilante?
He's a detective.
He defied the cops so
So-so
He’s a detective who will go to great lengths to find the truth, even risk his life for it.
I hoped the'd explain how did Kuroiwa learn his moves, that training is about police job

he was a professionnal assassin he learn these moves over the year like Yagami.
Police know martial arts and Kuroiwa was said to be the star of the entire police force.
They did explain this issue, Kuroiwa was taught everything (especially his moves) by his deceased mentor/master, all other training and learning is from the police force.
Yeah and Kuroiwas master was corrupt too. It'd make sense they'd both know how to fight in a brutal manner given their ties to the Yakuza
