@@tuxedoedone3891 it's only useable when an opponent is dazed or stunned. Which isn't easy considering it's not known what moves inflict more stun over others, and a high enough damage upgrade means you'll probably "kill" them before stunning. Bosses also break out of stun really fast, making it nearly impossible to do it on them unless you're aware.

[@RoboticEdward]

A friend said this to me but honestly i agree: Shishidō is probably the most tenacious foe Kiryu has ever faced. Dude fell into the construction zone, gets stabbed on the hand by Majima and acts like it's nothing, uses a sword unlike the inferior villain of Aizawa, and only truly gets defeated when the Daidoji decide to take him away. EDIT: man also held BOTH Majima and Saejima back like it was nothing.

If Yakuza 6 was a goodbye to Haruka, the kids, Date, Akiyama and The Pocket Circuit Racer, Gaiden was a goodbye to Tojo and Omi and the rest. Kiryu has 2 sides, his normal civilian life and his Yakuza past. This game was all about burying his Yakuza past. Until it comes back to haunt him in Yakuza 8 which takes place several years later from Gaiden.

[@JinKolmak_TaKo]

After everything it happened in his life He never stopped to fight for his dream but in the end he did not achieve what he dreamt but for sure he earned the legendary Yakuza status during the dissolution of the Tojo and Omi. The entire Omi, Kiryu and Watase acknowledged his pride and Honor for the Omi and gave his momentum for one last time. No matter what He will be remembered as one of the many last Great Yakuza in the criminal underground. Shishido is such a great antagonist and a character and it's been a long time the Yakuza series had one that felt convincing. Also Personally I feel his another great successor of the Yakuza series if they leave Kiryu alone and turn him the MC. Like the Daidoji opens a new Frontier of sequel/spinoff series but instead of Kiryu we play as Shishido and see how he evolves through the story on his new life

Shishido is the truest Yakuza of all. The protagonists of this series, despite all their tough guy attitude, are just good guys at heart. They don't act like criminals. But this guy, this guy is as old school and though as they are, as persevering and unwilling to give up, but also self serving scum with no loyalty or ethics. And that's exactly what the Yakuza are at their core, underneath all their pretence and talk about codes.

For me Shishido is the best yakuza villain so far, connecting both tragic backstory and incredible ambition to keep Omi Alliance together, and he is so driven by this ambition that even after being messed up and having dagger stabbed through his hand he still had strenght, i feel like he could kill Kiryu if he was fully recovered at this point

[@jgmweston]

I'd have bought Shishido a lot harder if he hadn't been planning this betrayal for years and made Nishitani his guy, and then complained that Kiryu 'had to show up and ruin everything' (paraphrasing somewhat). It made everything he was talking about with Kiryu throughout the game seem so hollow. Like okay cool, you'll say anything to get what you want, how is this speech to the Omi any different? It's a neat moment and it's cool seeing villains that can shake the invincibility of the legendary yakuza, but I felt pretty underwhelmed with the finale. Good fight and fun boss moveset and all, but a few changes to his motivations would have made him a great final boss to me.

[@nomadskillers]

wasnt this fight mentioned in 7

[@VSaccount]

im gonna go against the grain a bit, i thought this whole game felt like filler, as much as i liked the ending (and akame)

[@daedelous7094]

I mean, it adds in a bit to Yakuza 7 (Like why Kiryu is suddenly present, he wasn't shoehorned in for fun, he was there a Daidoji element to help stop Masato) and for people who played the Kiryu saga, it gives us the finale of his struggle to escape the chains of the Yakuza. I guess it's only a game you'd play if you have followed the Kiryu saga, players starting with Ichiban won't get as much.

[@Zephhi]

Idk why you say that when the whole series before Yakuza 0 felt like filler. And yeah, this game was advertised to focus on a lot of the side content rather than just a main story (it's very short if you do nothing). I had no issue with it and it actually gave so much context for Kiryu's character and actions
