@@ZanicaKnight For me it was The King of Fighters that got me into the language as a kid (anime/manga also had a part), Yakuza just further pushed my interest in the culture and different dialects.

Hi Yuta san, I watched the video from 3:41 before, and they are the police officers trying to confront Yakuza 😨ne.! The police officers also need to be tough to deal with Yakuza.😅 Great job Yuta san for teaching really interesting topic!!😊
I don't know about talking like a yakuza, but I just love how "Kora" (most like "koRRRRRRRRA") sounds at the end of sentences XD. It's sounds fucking macho 🤣
FYI. "Kora" is a Kagoshima dialect, and it originally meant just calling out "hey." But at the beginning of the Meiji period, the predecessor to the police force was organized, and its patrol officers were primarily made up of Kagoshima locals. Then, the yelling from those officers started spreading the overbearing use of "kora" around the country.
Same for the "kono yarrro" it's one of the rare times when i've heard japanese with a tongue roll. There was an anime (Tsuki ga michibiku) song where he was pronouncing all the r's like that, it's pretty cool and funny.
They basically speak like anime characters, which makes them sound kinda silly to someone who is exposed to japanese mainly in this way / people speaking politely in media 😅
It's interesting how Shimano speaks with a Kansai dialect when Tojo Clan is based in Tokyo and their biggest rivals, the Omi Alliance, are based in Osaka. Majima also speaks with a Kansai, but his accent is fake and he puts it on as part of his Mad Dog persona.
If you played Yakuza 4 and 5 Saejima actually does speak in a kansai accent and you can actually hear the difference between how Saejima speaks and how Majima speaks in multiple scenes.
Shimano was such a d***head (yes I know that’s the point) He put Majima, and Nishiki as well through such bs... dude really screwed Nishiki over, which makes me hate him, almost as much as I hate Dojima, I don’t think I’ll ever have as much hatred for any character as much as Dojima though Spoilers - - - - Thank god -Nishiki killed Dojima-
Im glad they actually had the Yakuza boss from Kansai speaking in the dialect I love these games and I'm glad the Yakuza of japan do to (no joke the actual yakuza have said its there favorite game I don't remember when or where but I'm sure a quick google search (that I'm to lazy to make rn)would solve that)
Low intonation is common for people commanding presence. It’s less about what they say but more about how dangerous they seem when they say it. It happens also here in the states. They also threaten when not listened to.
Feels weird that you pronounce yakuza in English with the stress on the ku, Especially since even Japanese puts the pitch accent on the ya instead, and English does the same, in my experience at least
Personally, I'm more afraid of 半グレ"hangure" than yakuza. Yakuza basically don't touch civilians because most yakuza have strict rules, but Hangure operate without rules and frequently involve people. Ever since laws were passed to crack down on Yakuza, their influence has been declining day by day, but in their place has come the rise of Hangure.
That is what we see in my country as well.after they campaigned against yhe hells angels, new crews rolled in. The HA never sold drugs to kids and would prevent this from happening.. now we see schools full of coke and amphetamines. Nah.. best to pick you evil and life with it. They do a job that society demands. Best to fill their role in the most humane way possible
That's actually what happens in the Yakuza franchise. As the timeline of the franchise is the same as real life, with each game passes the yakuza loses their power, and instead they are replaced with hangure. In the last entery, Lost Judgement, the yakuza is pretty much dead and the villains of the game are more scary than any other villain of the franchise.
@@MasterGordon5115 it means "half grey", simply refering to criminal that are not in organazation. That's what makes them scary- as unlike the Yakuza, it is way more diificult to track and control them.
Yutaさん、 @6:39 the document shown has divisions like 第一、第二、第三。Then it further divides 第三 into 一、二 and later 三。Then it further divides section 二 into イ、ロ、ハ、ニ、ホ、ヘ。What is the rest of the katakana order if you need more than just イ、ロ、ハ、ニ、ホ、ヘ 。。。 Thank you for uploading this video.🙏

Funny that you coose those characters as the thumbnail because the games do it right. Kiryu and other Yakuza hailing from Tokyo, with the exception of Majima who just puts on the Kansai dialect, speak standard japanese.
If it wasn’t for ShoPro’s copyright issues, I would like to see Yuta do a video on how Pokémon characters like Satoshi speak Japanese in the Pokémon anime.
Wow! Thank you Yuta 先生! Now you have me thinking about a few songs that I have listened to millions of times, but still do not fully understand. There are words in certain songs that make zero sense to me! I listen in anime for these words, podcast as well and I never hear anyone else use them. Maybe the singer is speaking a dialect as well. I couldn't understand any of the words in the "rough yakuza" dialect. It sounded foreign as opposed to the standard dialect. I can usually pick up several words at least! The way they spoke sent my brain into a tizzy and I lost any comprehensive ability! How odd...
You talk about dialect words, but what about pronunciation? The must be differences in pronunciation, too. I think dialects and sociolinguistics are fascinating.
ROFL, catching the video late... Yeah, so this is kind of the impression I had... Yakuza is often portrayed as talking rough in movies, series, anime and whatnot, but that rough talk is actually how people wanting to talk rough usually do, doesn't matter if it's yakuza, cops, drunkards or people on the street... I've seen some clips of road rage in Japan with drivers also speaking like that. Loud, imposing and with lots of "r"s rolling off the tongue. xD Though the situation has to be extremely heated and out of the ordinary to come to that... most of the times, discussions that goes just a bit heated has more chances of having a few tongue clicks, eye rolls, and other types of expressions.
You've done other videos regarding anime - how about one (related to this topic) - "Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari"... There are several characters in that anime that you may want to discuss!
I’ve been learning Japanese and I’m pretty polite in general but trying not to be over polite to the point where it’s weird. I’ve been trying to talk how Japanese really talk, and I’ve noticed that I know a lot of words other learners don’t know and it’s thanks to this game series that I fully immersed in with Japanese subtitles and audio. Didn’t realise I basically taught myself Kansai dialect 😅😅😅 I ever say ですわ
You should rather have said, "if you want to speak like Yakuza, I will teach you the kind of Japanese normal Japanese speak, because it's extremely similar", or perhaps better yet, "I will teach you the kind of Japanese that Yakuza speak"
7 months late but: Japanese insults/vulgarities often are made through combinations of vulgar words. The word “yarō” on its own is basically “bastard”. You can slap it on the end of virtually any descriptive word and it’ll make it insulting/more insulting. “Baka yarō” (moron), “kuso yarō” (piece of shit). It’s essentially a word you use when you wanna make it obvious that you’re insulting the person (it’s more targeted since you make it clear that you’re talking about the person as a whole rather than an aspect). You can do the same with the word “kuso” at the beginning of words and it’ll transform it into something like “fucking [word]”. For instance “kuso samui” basically means “fucking cold” or “cold as fuck”. You can do something similar with “kusai” (smells), for example: “uso kusai” basically means “reeks of bullshit”. Japanese is very crafty when it comes to vulgarities. That’s a cool aspect of the language, you can get really creative when insulting people lmao
Heard from here -France-, Japanese in general roll 'r' sounds, yakuza roll it them even more. It sounds almost like a beast's growl. Also, a lot of insults and disrespectful variations of 'you' words.
