The series features protagonists John and Jeff Yakuza known for their favorite catchphrases, “I have 0 time for the Yakuza because I’m busy doing karaoke and business”
I knew Max0r would eventually make a review of Yakuza, because he doesn't even need to exaggerate it with the editing, the game does all that ridiculous bullshit for him.
"And Nishitani is the Joker." No, literally. His voice actor, the late Keiji Fujiwara, was the Japanese dub voice of the Joker before his untimely death in 2020.
Speaking of Joker, in the original release of the first game, which was the only mainline game to be dubbed up until Like a Dragon, Majima was voiced by none other than Mark Hamill
Man at least Majima has the pure amount of insane investments like a battle ready construction company, and a authentic Edo period brothel + underground fighting league. Kiryu can't even afford employees and a full mansion for his orphanage.
At 2:04 the braille he puts on screen is actual subtitles saying, "for the blind people in my audience," which I feel is very helpful for the blind watching.
That's something I've noticed across Max0r's videos: really hyper-edited and funny, only to turn a 180 and give us a very slow, somber ending with good music.
Kiryu's whole "Never killed anyone" thing was something lost in translation, that being "Kiryu has never killed anyone, only in self defense." but i like to pretend Kiryu just uses rubber bullets and knives.
Makoto should be the one with urge to kill because majima left her for god only knows how long inside the werehouse while he completed the entire cabaret club minigame lmao..
Majima leaving a blind woman in a shed to go hit the yoinky sploinky with his good friend kiryu with money earned from punching harambe in the face is something that has canonically happened in the yakuza universe
@@JacobTheCroc wonder who put him in that position maybe the one who did is probably the baby running away from a certain responsibility just a guess lol
@@blaurghh Because not wanting to be associated with Yakuza anymore to be with the kids in the orphanage is running away like a baby... Do you hear yourself?
" -The game cares more about good gameplay and fun story than it does about actually making sense" that's such a perfect way of describing the series,and specially Zero
The true majima experience is to utterly avoid doing anything with him once he hides in kiwami 1 (stopping him from appearing, then much later find him and suddenly his glitched out anywhere system will go into MAXIMUM overdrive. I even encountered all of the RARE RANDOM events with him back to back.
There was nothing more heartbreaking to me than learning that “Kiryu has never killed anyone” was a mistranslated quote that actually meant “Kiryu has never killed anyone, except in self-defense” because the latter sort of makes sense and I hate that.

Maxor shit on the monke style but my GOD in kiwami 1 it let me beat the PISS out of Majima in the strip club. There was nothing but benches around so every swing was a new bench.
@@scout360pyroz monke style was the only way I could beat Slugger Majima. I would dodge with Rush Style and jab a couple of times to build up heat, then block an attack and do the bear hug since I had temporary hyper-armor
Max0r, unlike most, KNOWS the power and importance of the music and thats the reason why he didnt go on with the video until 24 Hour Cinderella's chorus ended.
So I looked into it, the reason Chinese Spider-Man looks different in the Chinese version is because they made him look like his voice actor, who apparently is a popular actor and they wanted to increase sales in that area
Also probably because the current Chinese government has a kinda weird ego thing going on. They even heavily suppress non-Chinese martial arts because, well, more effective martial arts are making their masters look bad.
"Life is fucking messy, and that's okay." That is a motivation right there. Things won't always work out in life, but that doesn't mean you give up on you. You just clean up the mess and move on.
I've never played a Yakuza game before. I'm not sure I've even _seen_ a physical copy of a Yakuza game before. But what I do know is that 1:26 - 1:54 is the best 30 second summary of the series I'll ever see.
fun fact: at 1:29 the guy who majimer is beating to death (his name is Ryuji Goda) is canonically 12 in Yakuza 0 (1988), and is also the final boss of Yakuza 2 and Yakuza Kiwami 2
"Kuze won't leave me alone" That perfectly sums up every interaction in the game that you have with him. "Awano is a Genshin Impact player" Yeah, sounds about right. Spends a ton of money on s*** that doesn't make sense, one of the strongest in the game, but spent so much time enjoying his gains that he became rusty and wasn't as much of a refined fighter as he was earlier in his time. You didn't even add anything for Shibusawa, but I can just say this now: he is the definition of a min-maxer.
@@peneIoP Nah, I was absorbed into Majima's minigame but real state was generating billions by the end while cabaret feels so not worth it. You can just collect and do other quests then come back to free money while you have to sit there for like 7 minutes for something so not worth it
@@bipstymcbipste5641 I didn't say it was worth it, I said it wasn't boring compared to Kiryu's and you literally said the reason why Kiryu's Real estate was so boring.

"enemies become friends, friends will become enemies and kuze will not leave me alone" every single time kuze is there the "how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man" meme is always in my head

I was very offended to hear Beast style called “not very good.” When you max it out, it’s the best way to kick Shakedown’s monke ass if you don’t have Kiryu’s legend style.
I figure you know it was coming, but Monkey Mode for Kiryu is definitely good. It’s best for allowing you to accidentally pick up items while attacking and see some of all those unique animations

Hey Max0r did you know the best way to grind Kiryu's Real Estate thingy is by doing all of your investments at once and then waiting outside and using your phone to play, like, Genshin or whatever for 5 minutes, then going back in to do it all again? It's tedious but it works.
if you want to farm even faster you can try looking for mr shakedown, since you will have already used the money it wont be too risky, but taking a break while farming is good too
Kind of hoping there would be a part where he said “He then stops playing and realizes the error of his ways, finding the nearest wall and forcefully presenting it to Majima”
I haven't cried laughing this much in a long fucking while holy shit. I'm a big Yakuza fan and I feel like this video is even funnier because of it 10/10
I bought the game because of this video, and I will say it improved my gameplay enjoyment so much. And this vid just keeps on getting funnier the more I progress
I noticed some inaccuracies in this video: 1.) Beast Mode is actually fucking OP. Become monke. 2.) They're only the Five Prostitution Daimyo of OSAKA, not all of Japan. 3.) You DO need to play pool for three hours. To build immersion. That's why they put it in the game.
I don't think #1 is an inaccuracy, I think he was being sarcastic. Though to be fair, it wasn't very obvious that he was being sarcastic due to the tone of his voice.
Oh man Max0r is playing Yakuza now. I can't wait until he gets to 7 where you save the day with the power of untreated schizophrenia and that grenade you find in the sewers
@@francismendiola5057 I still haven't gotten past Yakuza 3. I know it's petty to not play because of old graphics and I know I'd enjoy it but it does stop me from starting and there's so much other stuff I want to play.
@@francismendiola5057 there's a hostess management game in 3-5 but it's way rougher than 0's. You can see how it evolves but it's not actually good until 0.
I played Yakuza 0 just because of this video and I actually cried once and almost cried three times while playing the main story. Just so you know, I almost never cry, so that is a huge compliment to the game.
Man, I don't remember the last time a game made me cry, but after having played Kiwami, and then playing this game, the scene with Nishiki and Kiryu made me bawl. I then proceed to go be a pimp for 4 days straight. fuck I love these games. Also, would like to add now that I've finished 0...that ending broke me
As an Australian i can confirm its a lie that woman “dont like roo fighting” i have seen a group of 7 sheilas show up to watch a guy throw hands with a sigma roo
True thing, never fight a roo near water, they instinctually will drag you to it and try to drown you, something as kids we learned in the Aussie countryside.
@@MonsieurMaskedManas a film student who has specialized in editing, it's downright genius. Maintaining rhythm and pace while giving a perfect thematic representation, stuff can rival the best of the film industries
This man just made this game a metaphor about life itself then segways into mafia bosses and pizza joints. Truly, a visionary on another plane of understanding.
Yakuza 0 is my favourite game , there isn't enough time to describe how the serious main story is incredibly well fused with weird humour and a shit ton of minigames that are all super cool
The Beast style of fighting is pretty good it just relies heavily on picking them up then swinging your monkey like body mass at the suited pickles till they're fully disable and or have a skull that inverted itself
honestly one of the best Yakuza 0 reviews, perfectly captures just how whacky and inconsistent to game can be with its tones but it's that aspect that helps bring the game a fair amount of it's charm. absolutely love this series.

So I looked into it, the reason Chinese Spider-Man looks different in the Chinese version is because they made him look like his voice actor, who apparently is a popular actor and they wanted to increase sales in that area
That's actually surprisingly reasonable.
That actor is apparently weirdly handsome and good for him
Also probably because the current Chinese government has a kinda weird ego thing going on. They even heavily suppress non-Chinese martial arts because, well, more effective martial arts are making their masters look bad.
Kuze, Shibusawa, Awano, Tachibana, Nishitani and Sagawa were all made to look like their own voice actors, so not sure why Lao Gui was done so dirty.
They probably did it cause Chinese laws

Beast sucks when you have no weapons, but if you're close to a bike rack it becomes 11/10.

Hey Max0r did you know the best way to grind Kiryu's Real Estate thingy is by doing all of your investments at once and then waiting outside and using your phone to play, like, Genshin or whatever for 5 minutes, then going back in to do it all again? It's tedious but it works.
if you want to farm even faster you can try looking for mr shakedown, since you will have already used the money it wont be too risky, but taking a break while farming is good too
Indeed. With the Encounter Finder you can hunt him down.
A guide helps you track down all locations too for faster acquisition and investment.
This is the quality I expect from you Maxboy, good shit.
3:32 "Switching to pirate captain..." Maxor has no idea.
I'm not gonna lie, the majima singing part with the background fighting is the best yakuza ad ever.
Agree.
I've seen several people sync the head slam with the song and it's incredible every single time
Majima being called a pirate captain at 3:33 aged so well
"Awano is a GENSHIN IMPACT player, only desiring money and women" Holy shit my sides
Kind of hoping there would be a part where he said “He then stops playing and realizes the error of his ways, finding the nearest wall and forcefully presenting it to Majima”
I haven't cried laughing this much in a long fucking while holy shit. I'm a big Yakuza fan and I feel like this video is even funnier because of it
10/10
I bought the game because of this video, and I will say it improved my gameplay enjoyment so much. And this vid just keeps on getting funnier the more I progress
I noticed some inaccuracies in this video:
1.) Beast Mode is actually fucking OP. Become monke.
2.) They're only the Five Prostitution Daimyo of OSAKA, not all of Japan.
3.) You DO need to play pool for three hours. To build immersion. That's why they put it in the game.
wrong
I don't think #1 is an inaccuracy, I think he was being sarcastic. Though to be fair, it wasn't very obvious that he was being sarcastic due to the tone of his voice.
3:35 congrats maxor. You’re a prophet.
3:34 aged beautifully
I guess his comment about Goro Majima being a Pirate Captain aged like a fine wine
"Pirate captain goro majima" aged like a fine wine
Oh man Max0r is playing Yakuza now. I can't wait until he gets to 7 where you save the day with the power of untreated schizophrenia and that grenade you find in the sewers
Everyone loves the hostes game. We loved it so much that they brought it back in Kiwami 2.
Yeah!
Not just in kiwami in sure theres one more
@@francismendiola5057 I still haven't gotten past Yakuza 3. I know it's petty to not play because of old graphics and I know I'd enjoy it but it does stop me from starting and there's so much other stuff I want to play.
@@Irimu_ cant blame ya. Y3 made me struggle as well. Its clunky.
@@francismendiola5057 there's a hostess management game in 3-5 but it's way rougher than 0's. You can see how it evolves but it's not actually good until 0.
I played Yakuza 0 just because of this video and I actually cried once and almost cried three times while playing the main story. Just so you know, I almost never cry, so that is a huge compliment to the game.
Perhaps Max0r was the real editing software all along
Thank You For Changing the thumbnail, sad to see that the cosplayer in the old thumbnail turned out to be a persona fan
"Pirate Captain Majima" is hilarious now that 3 years later he's getting his own game as a Pirate Captain. 😂
I played through all the Yakuza games and all I’m saying is that this is pretty accurate to all of them
This vid makes me want to try it, should I just play 0 or should i try to play thru the older games first
@@hibiskus828 Play 0, it's the highlight of the franchise for a lot of people and designed as a good entry point for new players.
@@hibiskus828 def Yakuza 0
@@hibiskus828 Yakuza 0 or if you have a ps2 and everything else start at 1, up to you but I do recommend 0
As a diehard Yakuza fan, this is one of the best and most honest reviews I've ever seen.
Man, I don't remember the last time a game made me cry, but after having played Kiwami, and then playing this game, the scene with Nishiki and Kiryu made me bawl.
I then proceed to go be a pimp for 4 days straight.
fuck I love these games.
Also, would like to add now that I've finished 0...that ending broke me
Majima's story in K2 gives you... A little bit of closure. Just enough to help you let go.
Can't wait for you to play 6 🥲
Playing Kiwami right after Zero is...hard. I felt it.
It broke us all....
Kiwami is a great story so far. Screw lau ka Wong and the bloody eye leaders.
He’s been hooked. I can only hope for reviews of the other games in the series.
As an Australian i can confirm its a lie that woman “dont like roo fighting” i have seen a group of 7 sheilas show up to watch a guy throw hands with a sigma roo
Who won?
@@mercenarygundam1487 the roo, they have armored balls
True thing, never fight a roo near water, they instinctually will drag you to it and try to drown you, something as kids we learned in the Aussie countryside.
@@atomicbuttocks isnt that the New fromsoft Game?
@@Underestimated37 I Like the implication that its okay to Fight kangaroos, Just Not near water 🤜🦘
Majima is canonically a pirate captain now lmao
The 24-Hour Cindarella and Koi No Disco Queen sections are probably the most accurate portrayal of the Yakuza series as a whole I've ever seen
good music edits right there
@@MonsieurMaskedManas a film student who has specialized in editing, it's downright genius. Maintaining rhythm and pace while giving a perfect thematic representation, stuff can rival the best of the film industries
The "Pirate Captain" comment about Majima was prophetic...
"Pirate captain Majima" That aged well
I respect how he really puts a full month of editing into every one of these videos. The first 2 minutes alone would take most editors a solid week.
3:33 "pirate captain Majima" Max0r was only joking...but now because of him it's canon...Majima is a Pirate now...
This man just made this game a metaphor about life itself then segways into mafia bosses and pizza joints. Truly, a visionary on another plane of understanding.
3:34 foreshadowing 2 years later
The title “Pirate Captain Majima” aged incredibly well
Ikr
Yakuza 0 is my favourite game , there isn't enough time to describe how the serious main story is incredibly well fused with weird humour and a shit ton of minigames that are all super cool
"Pirate Captain Goro Majima", you say? Well, funny thing about that...
I am filled with immense joy everytime I see somebody new find out how incredible the Yakuza series is.
"Pirate Captain Goro Majima" has aged well.
you predicted a game 3 years in advance lol 3:34 this is no longer a joke
3:33 What!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you predicted the future
the man who forgot his name
I never expected a Max0r review to make me emotional
really brings out Yakuza's atmosphere
3:34 “Pirate Captain Goro Majima”
BS RUclipsr prediction powers strike again!
The Beast style of fighting is pretty good it just relies heavily on picking them up then swinging your monkey like body mass at the suited pickles till they're fully disable and or have a skull that inverted itself
Yeah, this video leaves out just how cathartic owning someone with a motor scooter finisher is.
beast style is just fun
honestly one of the best Yakuza 0 reviews, perfectly captures just how whacky and inconsistent to game can be with its tones but it's that aspect that helps bring the game a fair amount of it's charm. absolutely love this series.
All the Yakuza players be wiping their tears with the bills of the "not dead" recipients of heat actions at that ending.
Glad 0 is still being appreciated even today.
Localize Ishin.
LOCALIZE IT NOW
localize ishin
Y e s .
For real, why it isn't localized yet? GODDAMIT!
localize this shit i need this in my life!!
When Max0r ends a video like this, you know the game is special
3:32 just remember, goro majima is getting a piratestyled game now
