Can Kiryu Kazuma Tiger Drop The Kamehameha?

The Komaki Tiger Drop is one of Kiryu's strongest moves. Not only does it counter attacks flawlessly, it also negates all damage Kiryu would have received from the attack (except in yakuza 3 and 4). What can it do against ranged attacks like the Kamehameha though? That's what I talk about in this video.
Video should include no major spoilers.

Kiryu can tiger drop a Kamehameha but couldn’t tiger drop his cancer 😭🙏

@@Pickledman I don't mind if. 8 would be the last game. forJohn yakuza.

[@dimples9746]

I think it’s also good to note that Kiryu can survive at 1hp if he’s at full heat, although that’s completely useless information because he can just use the zap gun to kill goku

[@subzerothecool]

Kiryu can also tiger drop amons grenades in kiwami

[@livenishikireaction]

but he couldn't tiger drop ten years in the joint!! making me the victor!! the fact he didn't have it yet is UNRELATED!!!

In the Cell saga it's stated that a Kamehameha can destroy the planet. But we all know a tiger drop can destroy the multiverse.

[@The_Ottoman_Lobster]

ngl kiryu as a side character for a collab or filler episode on dbz would be pretty epic. Imagine goku tries to blast him with the kamehameha and kiryu just tiger drops continously, getting closer inch by inch with every tiger drop, and when he gets in point blank range he lands the final tiger drop, hits a godspeed combo and finishes it off with the essence of 88' from yakuza 0. or maybe goku just kicks his ass but majima pulls up and completely mauls goku for touching his beloved kiryu chan

[@officialpoppyperson]

I love the kiryu x majima toxic yaoi relationship that the wider fanbase has accepted. It's so good.

@@The_Ottoman_Lobster i dont think its a headcanon. im nearly certain its just one big gay joke.

[@The_Ottoman_Lobster]

@@officialpoppyperson typical "oh two males are standing 1 nanometer closer to each other than normal, they must be gay!" Jokes. Though i hate to think that some people make up all the fantasies about the characters being sluttily gay because they took their shirt off before fighting to death or didnt said anything bad to an lgbt side character. I still remember some guy ranting about how yakuza itself is a left leaning game (idfk what that stil means) because the whole series had few amount of lgbt characters here and there (like the teacher of haruka from yakuza 5 (the one by the bridge, not ogita or park)

[@officialpoppyperson]

@The_Ottoman_Lobster What? Ignoring your qualms with the gay joke (i can understand it gets annoying), Yakuza is pretty left leaning. It has more than just "a few lgbt characters." It shares ideals in criminal rehabilitation, definitely has its share of lgbtqi+ characters since (at least) the third game, and shares stories about corruption in the police and politics alike. 75% of 3 is just "Politician bad" until the plot actually starts. I think the most "right leaning" entry in the series is 3 because of the Okinawa redevelopment plot. The series as a whole tries to redefine masculinity in the same way Metal Gear does. Ichiban's whole character is an idealistic kid in a 40 year old's body. Kiryu's whole character is being a badass man who takes the typical feminine household roles and mindset because he simply enjoys it. Majima is so sure of who he is as a person that he has no problem going out in drag or being weird. Was the last half of your comment for or against this part of the series? I read it, like, 5 times and still can't tell. Sorry for the long ass reply. I just love these games, lol

haven't watched the video yet but i can confirm this is 100% true Goku would immediately keel over

Kiryu-Chan when Tiger drop negates all damage or something

[@ashtonrobinson-clarke3834]

Now I want to see how his heat actions would work, Kiryu could close the gap with that one heat action that slaps his opponent.

No Majima's were hurt during the making of this video

See what they dont tell you is that the other universes in dragon ball weren't destroyed by Zeno, but he sent kiryu to delete them

Tiger Drop is basically a kill move of you spam it

[@Athicangel]

Bro I just unlocked tiger drop and I understand the hype now

[@sovietlandon939]

very informative, thank you.

[@Yoimommy]

vid almost had me believing Kiryu could beat Goku

[@iniecore]

So insightful

[@t.dmattocks6119]

Goared video, goated reason for making the video.

[@JogVodka]

There's usually a cooldown on the tiger drop so a "beam struggle" wouldn't be possible where he keeps spamming it as the blast goes off. He's gonna get hit by Kamehameha if he tiger drops the first "wave" or hit or whatever since the cool down in the tiger drop animation leaves Kirty vulnerable for a hit. Majima's spins in the video wouldn't connect with Kiryu anyways so that's why you can keep spamming the tiger drop cause you're both whiffing. I do think if Kiryu tiger drops Goku at point blank then he would interrupt the Kamehameha. I just don't think Kiryu can do much within a longer distance with a tiger drop. Edit// I heavily recommend watching SnowiestAngeman's video on the tiger drop as he goes into every single game and reveal which games actually negate all damage and how the tiger drop works against a variety of things.

[@Biotikuwa]

What if Goku decides to do an instant kamehameha on Kriryu? NAAAH MAAN Goku is done 💀💀💀💀💀

[@SOLIDSHEDD]

Tiger Drop can be used on enimies with guns, so why couldn't he use it on any other ranged attacks

[@LardyMcBucket]

good ass video keep it up man

[@killertails1244]

Ill give you my answer “Yes.”

[@huda6914]

If there was power scaling I'm sure a tiger drop would send Goku ragdolling a few meters every time a Tiger Drop makes contact. Even in his strongest form he would still ragdoll.

[@fleeb6707]

Bullets are physical and can be interacted if the character receiving the bullet is broken enough Soooo if Kiryu can’t tiger drop bullets from afar I don’t think he can do much

[@oostin7759]

Bullets can be tiger dropped in Ishin as well.

[@nakyearns]

as a dragon ball purist, i agree

[@omnicrete7470]

If it was Kiwami 2 kiryu bro will literally just tank the entire thing through extreme heat mode then heat action goku

[@efxed]

In conclusion kiryu solos goku

[@gmod_scarries]

he couldnt if it didnt allow him to due to game logic but if it did he would beat goku by just tiger dropping

[@BigBoss-mt7hb]

It doesnt even negate damage bro, it gives him a hyper armor, and its just gameplay mechanic not any lore thing that SAYS "He cannot be attacked by anything in the attack" its just a move in the game that gives you a hyper armor regating damage for the counter to work properly. So i dont know if you're joking or just spewing shit but hey its not a lore thing its just A GAMEPLAY THING, by giving you a counter the game gives you a way to retaliate but the counter needs to be strong so you have it, they gave it a hyper armor in game so that you can safely walk up to the enemy and tiger drop the hit without being attacked, but again the fact that he is in hyper armor invulnerability is just a gameplay mechanic and feature, i dont like to be the guy that says the truth in all that but i dont know if you're really serious about it whereas kiryu nearly never used it in cinematic and his feats was on the human powersless level, he can be severed by a human and get damaged by a bullet in lore so yeah he is one strong guy in lore but FOR HUMANS, again it sadden me to see one of my favorite franchise and character kiryu getting only known for "HEY YO ! DAME DAME GUY AND HIS TIGER DROP CAN BEAT EVERYTHING ! DOPE !" Man kiryu used to be an idol for us guys, manly guy to guide us to truth and manhood and now you guys reduced him to another gojo. Fuckin sad... *Edit : One more thing, he is extremely powerful and can beat any "normal type humans" nearly everyone, but even this is only humans like you and me, and nishiki is canonnically on the same strength and is the equal of kiryu, so nishiki can beat goku too ?

[@majimace]

tiger drop negates all damage.

but can he tiger drop base cabba tho?

[@peanutmurgler]

Yes. They would stalemate.

[@bungiechungus8253]

not sure who kiryu kazuma is, but i bet kazuma kiryu could.

[@evdestroy5304]

Realistically, though, even if he would be able to pull it off, it would do so little damage it would be pointless

[@cheesusabidas77]

>realistically

[@peanutmurgler]

Lore-wise, Tiger Drop doesn’t negate all damage (just a game mechanic) but it actually targets the opponent’s vitals. If Goku has his guard down and takes a liver shot from a guy who hits harder than a warhead, I think he’s gonna feel it.

[@maddragonfromkamurocho]

​@@peanutmurglergoku already takes hit from people that can destroy planets and universes in his liver

[@peanutmurgler]

@@maddragonfromkamurocho I said “if he lets guard down”, because unlike characters such as Superman for example, Goku is vulnerable to simple lasers when his durability isn’t enhanced by ki. This is very rare though so it’s unlikely to happen

[@-HezSEs-]

@@maddragonfromkamurocho And yet with his guard down he gets a headache from a thrown rock.

[@bobodayo]

[@Heyim_david]

"Tiger drop negates all damage"

[@Greggymario]

5:55 actually, something that most people don't take into account, in Kiwami, Kiryu has an ability (I forget the name of it, it's one of the first Komaki abilities though) that makes him more powerful the stronger his foe is. So, facing off against someone like Goku, Kiryu would simply just become as strong as him, if not even stronger, because of that ability.

[@BigBoss-mt7hb]

Like bro cmon its only gameplay, in cinematics and game he takes a bullet and fall to the ground.

[@BigBoss-mt7hb]

"I forgot the name of it" damn. What a joke lol, and you're talking about komaki clear mind right ? He is strong yeah but on a human basis, against a human enemy that has no powers.

[@Greggymario]

@@BigBoss-mt7hb the human limit means literally nothing in Yakuza. Kiryu fights actual armies without breaking a sweat in several games. Majima punches through several floors of a building like they’re paper. Majima can *actually* create shadow clones. Saejima stops moving cars with his bare hands and fights a god multiple times and wins every time. Akiyama can fucking fly. It’s also just a silly-ass video, no need to be so butthurt about it

[@mr.mafia2477]

But tiger drop cannot negate bullets and a dodon ray is as strong as bullet if not stronger if you cannot negate dodon ray then you can't negate kamehameha

[@evdestroy5304]

Tiger Drop can negate bullets, though. It gives him I-frames that apply to everything.

[@Ultrazucced]

he can tiger drop bullets tho…
