They're actually pretty easy to deal with. Either just switch to Rush style and spam quicksteps on your way to them whilst focusing on when they aim their guns or make sure your styles are all sufficiently levelled through Real Estate (preferably having cleared that storyline and limit broke). A Level 4-5 Kiryu alone makes the finale of 0 a breeze.

The Majima fight is just bad level scaing, if you grind (which you shouldn't have to do in any game but whatever) it is doable. The Tendo fight is hell, with that one shot move. Being turn based sucked a lot of fun out of 7, the only redeeming factor of the bosses is the excellent soundtrack (as much as I hate Mabuchi, I'd fight him every day). Still by thr end of the day I was constantly wishing to be in 3 and fight Lau Ka Long.

[@bryantaboas452]

The final for Tanimura in Yakuza 4 was really hard since its somewhat like Jingu's boss fight. Swat officers with batons and guns along with the Commissioner having a gun making it impossible to dodge in battle and getting swarmed. Lastly, Tanimura's fighting style is made around grappling and combos which makes it very difficult to fight if you can't close the distance. @devilleon7

[@bainbonic]

Jingu was the final boss, just not the last boss fought. Nishiki's fight was more emotional and about settling that score, with far lower stakes than Jingu's. Nishiki wasn't the main villain, nor the biggest threat. He was a tradegy.

@@dogeofdojima3813 He was piss easy to dodge though.

[@Draconated]

Personally, I think I'd say Kiryu's bossfight as Saejima in Yakuza 4 is the hardest. First you have that brutal prison escape sequence with the ridiculous guy with the rod who slashes around like a demon. I was low on healing after that, and then they just thrust you into the difficult battle with the Dragon of Dojima, with no chance to get any additional items or anything. Took me quite a few tries to finally beat it, until I realized I gained heat at low HP with a skill I'd just learned.

[@listerofsmeg884]

Absolutely hated the fights against the prison guard! Always seemed to be in enclosed space making it difficult to dodge and keep track of him, especially with Saejima being so slow and bulky. At least with Kiryu you are in a fairly open area so you can catch your breath a bit.

[@Boyzby]

It's a wonder I got into the series, when Kiwami was my entry into the series. Majima beat the hell out of me, which is when I learned the importance of items, but Jingu... Damn, that boss was so awful. In any game, I hate boss fights where you have to fight multiple people. It's never been fun, except in DMC3 with Agni and Rudra. My first Amon fight was also the one in 6, and it was incredibly frustrating to constantly be stunned by the drones touching you and then dying in one hit to the explosions. I'm pretty sure I just said "screw it" and turned down the difficulty and abused the hell out of the heat explosion mode, or whatever it was called. The only game I have a platinum in, with Kiwami 2 only needing a Legend playthrough.

Boss battles against multiple enemies can be fun when done right. Ornstein & Smough from Dark Souls are a prime example of that. The Yakuza games do a very poor job at that, though. Fuck Jingu and his two fuckbois.

The way I fought Jingu was after taking out anyone with a gun, I took it and sbot a hole through all the other guards. The fight with Jingu and his two sergeants is where it got annoying, but if they're using weapons, you might as well too, since they dance around anyways. Just throwing it out there, but I love the look on Kiryu's face on your wallpaper. Almost like he's going "I have ANOTHER GAME of this bullshit to go through? "

They made Jingu even harder? Oh geez, I'll be looking forward to that when I finally get my hands on Kiwami next Tuesday. The only bosses I'd add to this list are Munakata from 4 and the last Kamon Kanai fight from 5. Kanai's nowhere near as ridiculous as the insane optional bosses like the ones on this list, but holy crap, after two playthroughs I still have no answer to that stunning counter of his and it makes me SO SO MAD. Oh, the rematch with Arase in Yakuza 3 too. Fighting him alongside a few generic thugs was bad enough, fighting him alongside a knife wielding miniboss? GGRRRRRR.

tsukiyama from club moon in yakuza zero was a challenge as well, he Dodges pretty much every attack you throw at him, hell dodge out of the way and combo you, and since majima doesn't have a competent counter attack, tsukiyama was a pain and a pretty big challenge if you don't know what you're doing

[@yourboyrussell6738]

Yeah, he was pretty annoying to deal with, ngl. I literally had to shut my brain down and switch to Majima's Breaker style to even stand a chance against the bastard.

[@KaiKrimson56]

When I fought Tsukiyama, I was already salty at how stupid his Devil Moon Ability in the Cabaret Club since it took me 8 tries to beat that, than when I saw how much of a bitch he was at fighting, I used the lightsaber and Thug Style to beat him. Kotomi's lackeys were even more annoying. Most of them used a variant of Rush Style and kept hitting me faster than I could react when I was in Slugger Style and had to use Thug with Zap Guns to wipe most of them. I was glad I could finally get Mad Dog of Shimano after dealing with all that.

[@electro_chemistry]

I tend to play every Yakuza game on hard and usually finish them with 0-2 deaths in the first playthrough, only thing you need to remember is go to ebisu pawn and poppo and stock up on toughness zz drinks and sushi lunch sets before the next story sequence. Jingu fight was a pain nonetheless though

[@tubbykids00]

devilleon7 speaks! is this a dream!? :O

[@blackwind677]

there are like, 8 total videos where he spoke beforehand

Last one pisses me off, and i got dragon and everything

[@Eonymia]

Kiwami's Amon was fairly simple to cheese with the item that lets you block sword attacks gaining you heat, then you'd hit him once or twice to get a heat move, back up and use the sumo slap heat move that only requires you to be a certain distance away from the enemy. It's been a while, so I forgot the name of the move and item XD

[@thiakano3075]

+1 The battle against Jingu really is the hardest. Every time he and his MIA wings shot Kiryu down is such a frustrated experience. :)

[@nishikiyamaa.4440]

I am suprised that you doesn't talk about boss coliseum in Yakuza 3 who got Mine's style like Valery Garett or even Yakuza 3 in general Yakuza 3 is the hardest yakuza for me because you are really weak against boss, tiger drop is weaker than other yakuza game, heat move does ridiculous damage to boss ans they cannot be stunned.. But those guys with Mine's style gives me nightmare for how fucking hard -he- they were.. You HAVE to play counter-attack with them or else they will dodge, stun you and do a powerfull uppercut which deal a lot of damage.. Fortunately they nerfed in the next yakuza but hell they were horrible..

[@yakuzagamesbr]

Verdade! E um belo desafio!

[@devilleon7]

>"These top 5 are either ones that have left an impression on me recently, or ones that I remember more because they had more impact on me than other fights." >"So if there are fights that you expected but didn't find here, don't be disappointed as, after all, this video is purely subjective and is just what I think."

[@dragonkamran]

Yakuza Kiwami is harder than 3 believe me. Bosses now do their own heat actions and you can't react to them.

[@Roderickthegray]

Dude there's one guy that fights like a lower than average but if you beat him 4 or 5 times he's easily one of the toughest guys down there why? He practically learns from ass whoopings and fights like Mine, he fights like a freakin beast.

[@nishikiyamaa.4440]

Rodney Christopher yeah i know this guy, he's worse than Valery :s He doesn't forgive if you dare attack him. I only beat him in street weapon coliseum..

[@SeruraRenge11]

So Jingu is basically a harder version of Munakata?

[@dragonkamran]

SeruraRenge11 Munakata whiffs all shots if you use grab on his minions but Jingu may still hit you if you try to grab anyone. Also he has grenades and unlike Munakata he has some close range attacks ( mostly kicks )

[@jaypostromboli-jpgamertv-457]

My god, Munakata was a nightmare...

[@yourboyrussell6738]

Other way around, actually; it's Munakata that's a clone of Jingu. And an easier one at that based on this video alone.

[@kimphatnguyen9401]

without tiger drop, it is almost impossible to beat Jingu

[@Deicide86]

leon did it without tiger drop...so impossible what?

[@SaintsTufanP]

I watched this before I played against jingu for the first time and I didn't had that much of a problem just noticed fast that I make them swats angry when attacking jingu. I always try to knock one of em out and combo punch the other. Did you played perhaps on legend difficulty?

[@hyperult3810]

Am I the only one that got really pissed at the Gun dude from kiwami in the mission where you had to save shinji? Kazuto something? Like that man pissed me the hell off. Maybe there was some strategy for him that i didnt know or some ability that i havent unlocked yet but i swear to god i spent like 20 minutes on that boss.

[@wingedknight0047]

It's Arase, yeah he was a bit annoying.

[@choueriito2548]

As far as Kiwami bosses go, I found Shindo somewhat harder. Arase is still annoying, but it doesn't take long to get down to a 1 V 1. Fighting a whole group of people when the boss is brandishing a katana is a pretty irritating experience.

[@wingedknight0047]

@@choueriito2548 hmm, but Arase himself is quite annoying for me, Shindo was easier to 1v1 imo.

[@choueriito2548]

@@wingedknight0047 I agree. 1 V 1, Arase is the far more difficult boss but, just like with Jingu, it's getting it down to a 1 V 1 that's the challenge.

[@Rand00mThing]

Number 1: Mr Shakedown

[@Mfdude716]

Rand00mThing he's pretty easy once you get his pattern down

[@hrgaming4plebs570]

Mr Shakedown turn from mr kill me in one hit to my money making bitch overnight.

[@Cosplaybuddygiraffes]

Rand00mThing Mr Shakedown could be a contender for hardest boss solely by going under the logic that he can face off against the player at the very start of the game. That's like putting the Colosseum fights right after the tutorial for the game

[@hrgaming4plebs570]

mr shakedown had a rather predictable pattern and if you played old spiderman games and have fought rhino a few times, it's like that but with lotsa cash reward. early on when I have no slime shotgun I just go for rush style or brawler, do light+heavy combo, run till he rush towards you, repeat till it dies, also mix with heat moves for lotsa money. and the best thing is you can purposely lose to double your amount of money(atleast with kiryu). when they start having ridiculous amount of health i just bring 4 slime shotguns and get done with it.

[@Flamebeow666]

I personally had more difficulty with the Majima fight in Shangri-La than I had with. but a big part of that was definitely the fact that I wasn't prepared for that fight in terms of health items

[@awsomemodels]

Exactly like you !

[@syahmieshahar1679]

MR. SHAKEDOWN>>>

[@reeselocritos9879]

Syahmie Shahar hes easy run around, hit, run around, hit, heat attack repeat. Just dont get hit

[@mr.y.mysterious.video1]

for me the amon family in yakuza 5 - simply gave up in the end.

[@smokey0111]

Really? I thought it was pretty easy, in that it only took me 1 try (and no I didn't look it up before hand.) Shinada's opponent was REALLY annoying when he pulled a gate of babylon, but it never really did that much damage and I had more than enough health items to wear him down.

[@TakuCityPop]

I'll let you in on a little something. The Yakuza game ain't like boxing, the man who gets beat down isn't the loser. The guy who can't tough it out to the end, he is the one who loses.

[@Blazer8496]

Where are you originally from and how do you manage to play the Japanese versions of the game?

[@Grogx331994]

didn't use weaoons against amon just out of honor. did take a strain on my controller though... Jingus a little unjustfied, you can use their dropped guns against them Nice vid!

[@ultimatesol]

all Amons are technically hardest boss of their games lol

[@Musicedge88]

Personally I thought mine from yakuza 3 was pretty hard.

[@thedarkknight646]

Tron Edge that dude was a freaking beast to fight. Yakuza 3 was just difficult as a whole for the most part overly aggressive enemies that seem to always block all your attacks

[@Wumblebum]

He was, but there have been fights I found much harder I guess... Hell, 3 was my first game for the franchise too! I honestly didn't find it even as hard as the Saejima vs. Kiryu beach fight in yakuza 4. That one was rough because I'm terrible at playing tank and I had very few items to fall back on. Kiryu gave me a royal whooping.

[@lolersthe4th880]

Yakuza 3 really taught me how to block and counter attack. My first game was Kiwami and I figured I was decent at the combat, but playing 3 and 4 especially really helped me dig deeper into the combat.

[@khalifjuse935]

They should make a Yakuza spinoff with you playing as the Amon clan. I found them to all be interested characters especially noa Amon as she isn't so stubborn as her father. P.s I've been a Yakuza fan since I was 9 playing the demo of yakuza 3 all day long. Now I'm 18 and glad to see a lot of people do enjoy Yakuza and their spin-offs. Let's all hope shin Yakuza is another great one.

[@deadeye_john]

Are you gonna make a part two to this video?

[@Wumblebum]

Even when you have to dance fight Amon in yakuza 5 it brings me to tears oh my God...... and I'm solid at rhythm games too.......
