I'm imagining shirtless Kuze riding a horse down a shallow river while holding a wooden training sword to hit samurai Kiryu with while the start of this remix plays.

[@bcgazero6472]

Training sword?, you know he's not settling for less than a õdachi 😂

[@greywalker505]

“MY NAAAAME...IS GYOBOU DAISAKU KUZE!!! AS I BREATHE, YOU WILL NOT PASS THE CASTLE GATE!!!”

[@w0rstart1st5]

And then, he fell off his horse because Kiryu cuts him down. As Kuze stands back up, he runs at Kiryu with pure rage and swings his weapon then Kiryu blocks it with his sword. And the fight begins.

[@HupCapNinja]

I get it they’re ancestors but they literally swapped the OG actors for the 0 ones because how big 0 became. They should’ve put this in the game and called it “Pledge of Samurai” or “Pledge of Honor”

[@biggiecheese3753]

Nah, Oath of the Samurai

[@Alt-xj2tu]

Oath Of Oni

[@lycanbladefang4768]

ngl though, Ito doesn't feel like he's the same as Kuze, the character replacement is kinda confusing since Kuze was being a true Yakuza, brutal, merciless and unforgiving, he hated Kiryu for walking away from the Yakuza life unscathed, not even a finger given by tradition and even backfire at him, however everytime he fights Kiryu, he helped him grow more and realized his ambition more and his final fight was to help Kiryu making the final preparation to the true fight with Shibusawa. Ito however was just a pure villain, unsatisfied by not getting what he wants, breaking off and making his own gang and died a meaningless death He was no true Samurai to a true Yakuza and has no honor, so maybe that's why he didn't get a mix, just a fan service rather than a representation of the character Kuze who wore the Judge Enma on his back

[@yudi-weiss3827]

if they could remix massive flames, affected fight, and fly, WHY DIDN'T THEY GIVE OUR BOY KUZE THE SAME RESPECT? The dude is an icon of the series, he really deserved it Edit: they remixed Watase’s collision of our souls too, and he’s an antagonist in the story just like Kuze. At least Claus’ remix is dope af though, but man, Kuze deserved a remix
