Bae can't stop crying to the saddest scene in Yakuza 3

[@francisayala9310]

I remember reading somewhere that Kiryu's VA said that this scene was the hardest he's ever done because he became so overwhelmed with emotion. You can really tell with how he performed in it.

[@mashedpotatoes77]

Oh I'm gonna pity the rat when she gets to "that" scene in Gaiden

[@eieneidnf]

If the upcoming majima game has a scene as emotionally devastating as *that* scene from gaiden im going to raid rgg studios by myself

[@danguy6591]

Was it before or after gaiden release

[@RnB_Brothers]

日本語で失礼します このシーンの当初の予定は『静かに悲しむ演技をしてほしい』というものでした 理由としては風間の親っさんや田中シンジの時の悲しみを強調させることと、時を経て強くなったことを表現したかったそうです ですが声優の黒田さんはそれに反発 スタッフと協議を重ねた結果、この号泣のシーンが完成したそうです

[@baron-chan6484]

​@@eieneidnfwhat i get from the trailer.... there's a "sad" scene, but probably not gonna be as brutal as 0 car scene or Gaiden graveyard scene

[@Raging_Asura]

I've seen some people say ''why did Kiryu cry so much over Rikiya but not Kashiwagi?'' and I'm like ... Because he didn't have the time to mourn for his death? and when Rikiya's time came he had already lost so many loved ones at this point; so after bottling up his emotions for so long, Rikiya was the final straw for him and couldn't take it anymore?

[@rext.b.4436]

Wasn’t Kiryu literally trying to dodge a machine gun gunning Kashiwagi’s office? Not much time to mourn when you’re in the middle of a GTA Heist

[@Undergamer12]

Also, Kashiwagi was an old man in a profession where they died young. Man was at the yakuza peak and died after a long journey. Rikiya was just a kid, who was at the wrong place at the wrong time just trying to help his friends.

[@Nekomon.]

I think it's the innocence he saw in Rikiya as well. Kiryu had spent so many moments to try and keep this young man safe. To see him pay for kiryu's slip up probably broke kiryu.

[@TheOverlordEND]

​@@Nekomon. This. Rikiya died because of him, the guilt is immense.

[@daedelous7094]

Rikiya died a young man full of potential, that earned Kiryu's respect, if you did Rikiya's special substory then he even proudly shares the same Ink as Kiryu.....and once again, someone dies to save him, just like Nishiki/Tachibana. Kashiwagi he didn't even get time to mourn considering there was a helicopter with a minigun bearing down on them, plus he was an older soldier that didn't specifically die just so Kiryu could live. Kiryu is broken and guilt ridden by this point.

[@shanehunts342]

The sidequest where Rikiya finally completes his tattoo only adds more salt to the wounds in this scene, i wonder if Bae done it already.

[@MetalShadowX]

Yeah chat told her to do it

[@-ReNin-]

That rendition of 'Fly' followed by Kiryu's scream at the end really shook me to my core as well. It was hard not to get teary eyed 😢

[@enigmaodell6806]

You know what? I think I figured out why I like Japanese stuff so much. So much of it is entirely earnest. This whole melodrama was played totally seriously, and because of that it works. I had little context coming in, but I could feel my heartstrings being pulled. Even his desperate joke of ‘I think he got me’ feels like a man coping with his imminent death, not a sarcastic quip.

[@MilkieMouse]

I see that a lot in media, I think it's probably pretty normal when you're met with the end of your mortality so suddenly that you yourself don't believe it actually happened.

[@w21aaaaa]

This is why people love Jojo's as well. Everything is downright goofy but Araki plays everything completely straight that you can't help but admire it.

[@MilkieMouse]

You don't hear Kiryu break down very often but every time it happens it rips a man's heart to pieces, no doubt.

[@jjpemfr8882]

This is the first moment in the series that you actually feel Kiryu is completely broken, his voice........hits the heart

[@ELEMENTOR374]

So glad she wants to continue streaming Yakuza, most streamers only play 0,K1 and K2 then doesn't play Y3-6 and straight up jumps to Y7/LAD for some reason.

[@halfandhalf3386]

the reason for some holo members is because they were sponsored streams, Pekora and Kiara for example off the top of my head

[@Oly1y]

"For some reason" maybe because they're a huge downgrade

[@joshuaa7223]

@@Oly1y No

[@Oly1y]

@@joshuaa7223 factually yes

[@quiotu]

@@Oly1y Graphically yes, and gameplay wise Yakuza 3 doesn't really hold up to the newer titles, but the story is still great. Starting with 4 and 5 it makes up for it by having multiple characters with multiple styles. Honestly the only problem with 4 and 5 is that the game has FAR too much time without Kiryu. I loved the diversity in the gameplay, but those two games don't really feel like Kiryu's stories.

[@saber_xyt]

Bae is too precious

[@blindeyedblightmain3565]

Despite how silly and camp this scene can look, the voice actors have sold it for 100%

[@akumuryuu]

I really couldn't feel much due to how unnecessary it was. They just left that guy with a gun unattended for no reason. After stepping on that same rake several times in Yakuza 1 and 2, you'd think he'd learn.

[@SlackFundayCh]

@@akumuryuu In all honesty, I felt the same the first time I played, I was more upset than sad because I wish if it had to happen it would have been from a different situation than just another guy you forgot to get the gun from. I believe Subaru also was in total disbelief

[@Run-Riot]

@@SlackFundayCh First time, I didn't feel much until Kiryu started started the tortured crying. Then I started crying more for Kiryu than for Rikiya. Whenever I see this scene again though, I do cry before that and for Rikiya, probably because I'm over the whole "yet another unattended gun" thing of this scene by now and because I miss the characters from this game. I mean, at least the gun was only unattended _once_ in this cutscene compared to some _other_ unattended gun moments in this series, if you know what I mean. lmao

[@francisayala9310]

Yakuza 3's plot is good in concept but Sega completely botched the execution. This is why I think the current writers for the series have retconned a few things in the plot or just straight up abandoned them. This is also why I think Yakuza 3 Kiwami is a good idea: to give Sega a chance to fix their mistakes.

[@latinalover26]

They completely forgot about rikiya after this game.

[@Run-Riot]

@@francisayala9310 Interesting to blame the plot on Sega/past writers and saying the current series writers can fix it when Yokoyama has been credited as the writer for every single game in the series that doesn't have the word "Judgment" in the title and is now the head of RGG Studio, lmao

[@elchomper.1063]

"I think he got me" took all seriousness and weight out of the scene. You jumped in front of a fuckin bullet and got a crater in your chest.

[@mitchellalexander9162]

We may not be 'at' Mine's Speech yet (which going by the Amount of Yakuza Games {especially if you count Kenzan and Ishin as Spiritual Prequels} now is canonically a Late Early Series Event Or the Exact Start of the 'Middle Period' of the Yakuza games which is nutty to think about.) But it is still the height of Irony that across the Entire Series taken as a Whole: There are moments across the whole Game series From Zero to 7 that refute each part of it. And I wish I remembered what was the title of the Video that Had Mine's Speech in 3 playing against the Backdrop of many Yakuza Events that contradict him...But I'm pretty sure Kiryu and the mourning of Rikiya is part of that refutation.

[@Dxwill10]

[@Exaar]

@@akumuryuu the fact that Akiyama hasnt gotten a solo game yet is a crime

[@francisayala9310]

Yup. I feel it's the same reason why they brought Kiryu in Yakuza 7: They didn't have faith the new protags would fill his shoes, so they brought him in to appease the older fans and gently transition him off the main stage.

[@Bylethisop]

[@Vault_69]

Pretty much, RGG did a livestream back in 2020 i believe where they talked about all the games and when they talked about 4 they said it started as a spin-off without Kiryu as a protagonist. Later on it got changed to Yakuza 4 and added Kiryu last minute

[@TheDorianTube]

I stopped playing at 3, didn't like the gameplay and the orphanage simulator after marathoning crazy stories from 0 to KW 1-2, but I might give it a go again.

[@NightmareSnake]

If you can figure out ways to exploit the combat to your advantage by doing lots of grabs and weapon heat moves, Yakuza 3 becomes a lot more of a bearable experience gameplay-wise.

[@connorl3124]

Personally, I just utilize combos but for the early game, learn to fish for light-light heavy (the gut punch) because if it lands, you can easily set up another combo and even wall bound the enemies. It’s not perfect but it makes it a lot more bearable until you get the Komaki stuff

[@francisayala9310]

It's definitely the weakest game combat wise but setting it to an easier difficulty made the gameplay more bearable.

[@MainMythLegend]

Just hold on till you get the komaki parry, it’s literally a life saver for this game. Once you get it the game becomes way more fun and interesting with the combat
