If that was supposed to be a poker analogy he made one critical mistake, the Joker is a Wild Card that be any card you want it to be. This makes it so unfair to use that it's banned from casino poker games and official poker tournaments. In other words he complimented him instead of insulting him.
Now this is an interesting concept that I wish the original manga explored a marksman who specializes in speed now i've heard kenshiro say something like "Against hokuto shinken, fire arms are meaningless" or something so a specialist like this would've been cool especially if said marksman managed to take out some powerful (but still considered mookish) nanto users
It's an unrefined "swing your arms/legs at whatever" style, which was kind of how Mr. Shakedown fought, so it fits. Not to mention that while I love the Yakuza games, the asset reuse can be a little "...Hm."
Because people always bitch about the dub, even thoug the majority of dubs over the past decade or so have been good to great. Just purist nonsense. I have nothing against the original Japanese, but a lot of dubs are just fine. And this one, from the sound of it, is excellent.
Guys stop complaining about the english dub it's pretty good i lke i said before. You think the english dub suck ? Take a look at the French dub in 1980s where they even slaughter the techniques names, for example hokuto became in french ''Au couteau de cusine'' and Nanto became ''Manteau de fourrure''. French fans like me were traumatized
The english dub for this game is actually pretty decent. The only thing I don't like is how the VA for Kenshiro doesn't match up to the legendness of Takura Kuroda. But that was to be expected. Still pretty good though.
I don’t know Kenshiro’s voice actor has more of a serious tone which I like. Definitely better than how his voice was back in the 80s anyways in terms of the English dub. I’m recognizing a lot of these voice actors from modern anime too
Everytime I come back to this I always remember the first time when I fought him I was able to finish him by launching him in the air and juggling him with my kicks, finishing him by the last hit, launching him onto the wall of the truck. Sadly didn't record it...
Story-wise, it really felt like targa was supposed to die here. It feels like they just kept him around for those shenanigans with Jagi later on. As a final boss, he feels more like an afterthought.
Is this on a New Game + or something? As you're destroying everyone super quickly at the moment. :p Also, it's a pretty cool fight: I like the part in the QTE where you see Targa's 'oh shit' face after his shotgun gets kicked out his hand before he gets upercutted into oblivion.
yes, his level is too high against the first bosses! you should fight this fight with level 10 or 12 ... anyway after the battle with rey his level is balanced with the rest of the game
Name literally one Yakuza that's been out for pc, oh wait, Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and probably the next year Kiwami 2. SEGA is porting many games on pc, they will probably make it happen for Fist of the North Star too.
@@satyrsatyrize Yes, that raised my hopes too. Although KOEI, for example, didn't release its HnK game on PC (Ken's Rage, I believe it was called), despite that they released other games from Musou series often. Perhaps Japanese marketers don't believe that a HnK game would be popular among Western audiences.
My card better for maybe a little bit sloppy but here's what I get from the gist of it he thought he was the Top Dog but in truth he was just another Punk
It's in the green orb stuff and it's one of the options that requires a green orb to unlock. It should have the name "Hokuto Rising Force" or something to that effect.
Either one of two things, one the name Taruga was a mistranslated, or the translaters changed his named to Targa so it would fit better with the lip sync.
Actually, they pronounce the letter "R" as ル(ru). If you try to translate the car name Porsche 911 *Targa* 4S, I bet you'll see the katakana as ポルシェ・911・ *タルガ* 4S.
i saw on the other video leon uploaded that the english version still has abeshi collection (death cry collection, in english). does it feature the same ones that the fan of the game recorded on japan's karaoke booths?
Likewise, when translating the car name Porsche 911 *Targa* 4S into Japanese, it will be ポルシェ・911・ *タルガ* 4S. And most Japanese people pronounce the letter "R" as ル(ru).
Dr Reaper 0101 there is literally no way to spell Targa in Japanese, so Taruga might've actually intended to be Targa from the start considering how strange the name Taruga is in English.
9:35 Yeah, I'd collapse too if someone said that with a straight face.
Lol i'd be like "we get it your a badass"

@@Horrorcrusher8312 that's why nobody want to play with you, willy
@@perseps Shut up. You don't even know what's going on here.
Pou
Targa looks more like a Jojo character than a FOTNS one.
This....so much this
He looks like Handsome Jack from Borderlands, honestly that kinda fits because it’s another Mad Max inspired series.
This is because Jojo's Bizarre Adventure was inspired by Fist of the North Star.
AND also hamon is inspired by hokuto shiken
@Nathan Sanchez imari williams(jagre) is also augus from asura's wrath
2:44
Shot through the heart! And you're to blame, Targa!
Stooop.😂😆🤣
There’s something magical about the way Targa says “Piece of shit...” as he was getting up.
reminds me of Goro Akechi
Ironically, *Kenshiro* is the one voiced by Robbie Daymond.
Now this is an interesting concept that I wish the original manga explored
a marksman who specializes in speed
now i've heard kenshiro say something like "Against hokuto shinken, fire arms are meaningless" or something
so a specialist like this would've been cool
especially if said marksman managed to take out some powerful (but still considered mookish) nanto users
Kenshiro destroyed a tank without much effort, i doubt a pair of 1911 would be a problem for him.
Han was just that, If you've read the manga you would know that.
His a android
Agreed
@@BaranLordofLight I doubt that he lasted long.
3:18 And that, folks, is how you make an entrance!
6:32 Mr. Shakedown moveset 🤔
Weird that it's used for a normal "big brute" enemy than a boss
It's an unrefined "swing your arms/legs at whatever" style, which was kind of how Mr. Shakedown fought, so it fits. Not to mention that while I love the Yakuza games, the asset reuse can be a little "...Hm."
it's literally the same animation lol
@@satyrsatyrize not really since mr shakedown stumble almost every punch or kick.
@@jcdentongaming1304 These guys do that too.
Why are people upset about the dub? In my opinion this is probably the best dub in any Fist of the North Star related material I've heard yet.
Because people always bitch about the dub, even thoug the majority of dubs over the past decade or so have been good to great. Just purist nonsense. I have nothing against the original Japanese, but a lot of dubs are just fine. And this one, from the sound of it, is excellent.
It's good but I prefer the voice actor in Ken's rage
Dub is great, it’s just that Kiryu voicing Kenshiro and Majima voicing Jagi that has me prefer sub.
Personally, Ken's Rage is much better than this one. But Lost Paradise is also a really good dub. I don't find any bad dubbing in here.
I think the original movie had the best dub
Damn Kenshiro sure as hell knows how to make an entrance
9:25 has strong Yakuza 1 vibes. "Just your bad luck... You've run into me."
Guys stop complaining about the english dub it's pretty good i lke i said before. You think the english dub suck ?

It was good comedy though
I was about to comment that the English voice acting is pretty good compared to most dubs, game or anime.
Nah this dub is excellent. Even better than the old English dub.
6:32 basically Kiryu vs Mr Shakedown, except Kiryu goes a bit too far this time.
This Is Kiryu Showing That He’s Pissed Off All The Time When Mr Shakedown Keeps Stealing His Money And Now He’s Tired Of His Shit?!?!?! XD
That ain't kiryu. That's kenshiro
@@audiocity1979 Wow, you are so smart and observant, Sherlock
@@lonelyshpee7873 it's just a joke. You know.. the "kiryu doesn't kill" joke. I'm sorry ok?
@@audiocity1979 You ain't sorry. You're Audio City
6:45 is literally just the rush kiwami heat action
The english dub for this game is actually pretty decent. The only thing I don't like is how the VA for Kenshiro doesn't match up to the legendness of Takura Kuroda. But that was to be expected. Still pretty good though.
I'm more shocked by the fact that Kenshiro and Prompto share the same voice actor. Robbie Daymond's got a lot more range than I expected.
@@chrisossu2070 TIL. First time I heard Robbie's voice was in a Tales game. Never knew.
After the events of ff15 Prompto decides to learn Hokuto Shinken
First I heard of Robbie was the new Sailor Moon dub as Tuxedo Mask. That range game is legendary!
I don’t know Kenshiro’s voice actor has more of a serious tone which I like. Definitely better than how his voice was back in the 80s anyways in terms of the English dub. I’m recognizing a lot of these voice actors from modern anime too
3:43 "Don't tell him my name, Dammit!"
This is not a boss fight ... this is an EXECUTION !
Everytime I come back to this I always remember the first time when I fought him I was able to finish him by launching him in the air and juggling him with my kicks, finishing him by the last hit, launching him onto the wall of the truck. Sadly didn't record it...
More gore is shown in cutscene than the actual gameplay itself. Pretty much the only thing gameplay shows is exploding heads and arms.
"You can have a demonstration with the last few seconds of your life" some cold ass shit right there
Kenshiro's English voice actor has range. Sounds nothing like Prompto.
Exactly
"I have no desire to fight you"
Proceeds to fight him
Video game logic: no matter how much blood is shed. Enemies still show no signs of regret.
6:16 ALRIGHT EVERYONE HE SAID WE CAN GO HOME NOW GIFT BAGS AT THE DOOR!!!!!!!!
That one-liner though. Fucking incredible.
Damn, he's like a Korean Vergil/Dante of Devil May Cry.
So Vergil has appeared in both this game and Yakuza 6
5:54 I'm going to confuse him by diving right past him!
He had the right idea, but he should've just ran the fuck away
Does it have that special DLC difficulty from the Japanese version that sets everyone at their canon strength?
THE GUYS TRY to tackle kenshiro but mises 5:53 6:20
6:45 That heat action reminds me from Kiwami.
The pause menu is the same as well, just a different colour
4:29 Kenshiro called that boy garbage bruh
Targa: WAAAAAAAT?
HOKUTO
HYAKURETSU KEN
Kenshiro sounds like Jin from tekken blood vengeance
Targa looks like a hypebeast
I like this move HOKUTO BONE CRUSHER STRIKE, it so cool
6:33 Fancy meeting you here, Mr. Shakedown's fighting style.
6:52 Oh hello there, Kiwami Rush heat action.
"Garbage usually doesnt talk this much" ooooo chile, that line right there! I know targa feelings were hurt
9:35 Woah, what's wrong with kenshiro hands?
he said he's gonna ruin the army of ruin
hehehehehe
8:11 i just realized that joon gi han uses this exact move in 7 since he and targa have the same voice actor
NO WAY! Sweet!
Story-wise, it really felt like targa was supposed to die here. It feels like they just kept him around for those shenanigans with Jagi later on. As a final boss, he feels more like an afterthought.
So he uses joker's style
3:12 You should aim for his head, Ken.
Is this on a New Game + or something? As you're destroying everyone super quickly at the moment. :p
Also, it's a pretty cool fight: I like the part in the QTE where you see Targa's 'oh shit' face after his shotgun gets kicked out his hand before he gets upercutted into oblivion.
yes, his level is too high against the first bosses! you should fight this fight with level 10 or 12 ... anyway after the battle with rey his level is balanced with the rest of the game
Targa would be a good opponent for Kabal in MK
6:53 I see it and immediately remember Kiryu doing the same thing to shimano in yakuza kiwami
3:20
Kenshiro: greeting noobie poopy boss it is l!
THE GREAT DEADEST MEME!!!!
OMEA WA MOU SHINEIRU!!!
Meme of all the time
Does anybody know the song that played in 7:40.....?

Targa is really living in the hole or from Shura if he didn't know Hokuto Shin Ken like that.
Good dub
Am I hearing War(Darksiders)(?)'s voice actor on kenshiro?
Nope. It sounds pretty similar but it's not him.
It's the guy who voices Prompto from Final Fantasy XV.
"You though you were an ace, but you are just another joker?" What is that mean?

Even in english taruga sounds like terumi.
YAAAAAAAY ENGLISH DUB
Didn't Targa see what happened to Jagi when he tried to use guns?
6:48 you mean to tell ORA ORA ORA ORA is in this game? How do you do it?
It's a skill you have to unlock.
@@Xirce where can i find it
It's in the green orb stuff and it's one of the options that requires a green orb to unlock. It should have the name "Hokuto Rising Force" or something to that effect.
@@Xirce ok thanks
Its like a new season of god hand
Psychopathic Han Joon Gi? So, like, just Han Joon Gi?
this looks more like snake vs revolver ocelot in mgs3
so, it's not taruga? in the japanese version his name was taruga.
Either one of two things, one the name Taruga was a mistranslated, or the translaters changed his named to Targa so it would fit better with the lip sync.
Yeah, i think the same thing.
Actually, they pronounce the letter "R" as ル(ru). If you try to translate the car name Porsche 911 *Targa* 4S, I bet you'll see the katakana as ポルシェ・911・ *タルガ* 4S.
Ok, thanks decade!
Can you use Rushing Force against bosses?
Oh no Raoh
i saw on the other video leon uploaded that the english version still has abeshi collection (death cry collection, in english). does it feature the same ones that the fan of the game recorded on japan's karaoke booths?
In the world with no Majimas we have Targa.

Hey dumb question but i don't recall this guy in the series. Is he an original character in the game?
He coud've saved the old guy no?
Does anyone know the name of the song that starts at 10:24?
How do you charge up the move power?
Shouldn't it be "Talooga"?
can we petitioned the french dub for this game?
Hokuto de cuisine
OMAEZ LA MEAU CHINDET IROU

Honestly, I'd love a French dub if only because it'd be like an official parody of the game!

Can you even switch between Japanese dub and English dub?

Targa reminds me of Gary from Bully.
If someone said some corny shit like that I'd do the same thing
Wasn't it TarUga?
The name in the original version has the katakana as "タルガ" makes me think of the English name "Targa" for sure.
Likewise, when translating the car name Porsche 911 *Targa* 4S into Japanese, it will be ポルシェ・911・ *タルガ* 4S. And most Japanese people pronounce the letter "R" as ル(ru).
