Kiryu Vs Ichiban but with the substory music it deserves

This entire encounter is an ordinary Thursday when we're looking at Kiryu's perspective
#yakuza0 #ichibankasuga #likeadragon

[@palmabolp]

Essentially, this is what Kiryu's perspective was like during this moment

[@cantufekci23]

Gaiden

[@Giovfunny]

​@@cantufekci23 imagine if their fight is just a substory in LAD Gaiden

[@Sogoti]

Ichiban: *Intense boss fight* Kiryu: Ahh, another side mission

[@rutdi6913]

​@@Giovfunny but technically, Gaiden is after Yakuza 6 and before Yakuza 7 - 🤓

[@Giovfunny]

@@rutdi6913 nope they said it connects yakuza 6-8

[@dino_420]

What makes this EVEN better is that ichiban uses cinematic animations meanwhile kiryu uses stock emotes/substory animations

[@gamemaster1608]

Now I can't unsee how standing still Kiryu is compared to Ichiban in the entire cutscene 😂

[@CarlM]

That's hilarious lmao

[@burgbass]

I wonder if this was intentional

[@realkingofantarctica]

Glad that Kiryu received a crafting material he will never use for his troubles.

[@wardenunknown]

The amount of time I have ignored the crafting system in the other games…

[@eieneidnf]

​@wardenunknown it doesn't help there are two characters that have an emphasis on weapons: breaker majima and broke man shinada; and neither of them need weapons per say

[@coolpizzacook]

​@@eieneidnf Shinada got shafted by the weapon system in 5 more than anything. I love investing hours to grinding weapon stats to use the weapons I wanted in the first place.
