Yakuza Kiwami 2 - Boss Battles: 5 - Goro Majima (LEGEND)

Legit lost about four times trying to get an okay-ish no healing item run, you cannot block his knife attacks (although I think you can get an ability later on that lets you) which makes for some guaranteed hits on you.

Imma have to agree with xellosdarkslayer here. I don't find it too much as a problem. Just a slight nitpick. I loved the unique auras. Especially Ryuji's.
