I was expecting this to end with him being like "holy shit! this is so much better than a perm! Thank you much for taking a risk, because it really paid off!" in classic yakuza humor
@@Edagui97 Well I stand corrected on that front. It still stands that they give him slightly more flamboyant suits contrast the 100s of black suits you fight. And if I wasnt clear, Kiryu fuckin rocks the look, he isnt a dork for wearing them, it actively makes him more badass and endearing.
as silly as his hair may look at first, it's so unique that it becomes iconic for the character design along with the red suit besides looks far less ridiculous than some animes about toys and board games
The hair makes the man they say. It's a little silly, borderline looks like he got caught in an explosion. It kindnof embodies his aloof nature And then we have Kiryu's super serious haircut short slicked back hair with dragon sideburns. Its a haircut that says "Batman smiles more than I do"
I mean, she did explain that nobody does punch perms anymore hence she has never done one before I'll gladly accept her explanation if i were Ichiban, he has been in jail for 20 years, fashion changes a lot in that time
Punch perms were prevalent in Yakuza 0 and earlier titles. It meant you were a trouble-maker. But now he just reinvented the look, or rather, invented his own style. lmfao.
@@CrazyPangolinLady I think you mistake idol culture for civilian culture. You won't find any male idols with punch-perms. For example. But women are more vanity-based so yeah it is a surprise they wouldn't imitate their idols. 80s, what a time.
It's only fitting that his hair looks like that if you notice kiyru's hair It looks like the scales of the dragon ichiban's hair looks like the mane of a dragon
@@NycmanTheNicestOfMenhe means that NIshiki and Ichiban both saying "URUSAI" the same way would be a *trademark breach* (look it up if ydk what that means). So Ichiban says it like "URRASAAI" so that doesn't happen. Sorry for being late
You should! It became my favorite series after playing through most of them during lockdown. The older games are made in a different engine so they won't look quite as good as this but most people recommend yakuza 0 as an entry point as it's a prequel to everything
If you have Gamepass, you can play them all except for Like a Dragon. Start with 0, which is a lot of people's favorite, and just keep going from there. The games are commonly described as super serious Scorsese movies interrupted frequently by Simpsons episodes. The balance they achieve is incredible. Take your time, do the side quests, and have fun!
I like later in the game, several characters question why he just doesn't get a haircut again, but then characters say it fits him, and Ichiban then likes it. I love ichibam.
@@pax9821 no you don’t get it. You don’t just tell a customer you don’t know how to do it AFTER you ruined it. It’s like ordering food and the chef serves you literal sludge cause they didn’t know how to make a damn pancake in their life.
The first time I saw Ichi's hair like this, it struck a resemblance to the hair that alot of dragon quest characters have, like in both 3 with the classic Toriyama spiky cuts, which is great foreshadowing to what comes later in the story. Also, Adachi's laugh is fucking great.
@@samr9457 I don't know. Maybe wanted to avoid trouble? But anyway, his design was made before Like a Dragon was even announced, so it wouldn't have fit anyway.
Sort-of-a-spoiler: Kasuga's flashbacks of before he got arrested are hilarious to me later in the game because he has a cool hairstyle in the flashback, then it goes to main character hairstyle when you snap back to reality.
Perms are actually really freakin’ hard to do. You’re basically using chemicals, which you have to be very choosy which ones to use for their hair in question, to break and reconnect your hair. So it involves breaking your hair and wrapping it around rods so when you use the chemical that reconnects the hair again, the hair will stay in the position you set it with the rods. So not only does it involve a lot of chemicals but you have to be very meticulous with how you place the hair in the rods. It takes several hours to do a perm and not all hair dressers know how to do it. It’s not something people ask for much anymore anyways. Plus sure you’ll get a huge chunk of change for doing a perm. But you could also have like 10 other clients in the time it takes to do a perm to do less time consuming work and probably make more money with those 10 clients Saying all that, she didn’t do that bad for not knowing what to do
Fun fact: Punch perms fell out of fashion in the mid-1990s because of their association with the Yakuza. Due to a combination of that and more Japanese men going to women-led salons rather than more traditional barbershops, very few hairstylists in Japan know how to create a punch perm today. This scene really helps illustrate how much time Ichiban spent in prison and how the culture moved on without him!
It's funny to see both Big Boss voice actor in Yakuza like a dragon, like Akio Otsuka ( Koichi Adachi) and David Hayter (The Bartender), what a lovely day!

Wait, shit."
At his age, he simply don't care anymore.
That’s not the same hairstyle lol are you fucking blind?
aint ichiban like 42? he could have gone mald too lol
Kiryu's whole thing was that he dressed like a dork, this man should be honored to be this badass despite (*cause off*) that literal lion's mane.
i always thought he represented his dragonfish tatoo.
Kiryu dressed like a baddass so i don't know where you got dork from

He may be upset, but he's no Karen

0:40 for this scene alone I never let Adachi out of my party.
Same he instantly became one of my favorite yakuza characters
Adachi laughing made this scene golden.
The hair is what makes Ichiban stand out from all the other characters. And the suit of course.

The one dislike is from Ichiban

As a guy who cuts his own hair... this is so accurate.
Ichiban : WTF IS THIS

Ichiban for the rest of the game : nah it's cool ima keep it

i always appreciate upright bass
That's the face I make when the barber jacks up my hairline.
His hair looks amazing. If he didn't like it, he could just comb it back or something. But it looks super cool and fits him imo.
It was bad in the first quarter but overtime, you just got used to it and grew to love it.
So, as someone who only knows a bit above the basics when it comes to recognizing hairstyles, is a punch perm Ichiban’s haircut pre-timeskip?
It suits him fairly well.

this is fucking scary this looks fucking amazing
