26 Minutes of Useless Yakuza Trivia

Did you know that Like a Dragon Gaiden had, like, 78 typos? You probably noticed one of them, but did you know that this was done by the Seiryu Clan as a ploy to defame the namesake of Kazuma Kiryu? Probably. I dunno. Anyway, enjoy 26 minutes and 44 seconds of information you can share with your high school crush/local McDonald's cashier.
But you know what's not useless? You. No matter how big this world is, now matter how many people fill in the space, there will always be one you. You ever notice how much a single missing piece ruins a jigsaw puzzle, even the really big ones? Without you, the world would be very ugly. But you, no matter how big or how small of an impact you may think you have, help to make the world as beautiful as it is. Unless your name is Like a Dragon Gaiden Typo, in which case we don't really need you.

HEY GAMERS FORGOT I WAS MEANT TO FIX A SECTION BEFORE UPLOADING. So for Crane King's Might the ability description is correct, but I was GONNA re record and say is that it would've been a more appropriate description to say hold down triangle after a finishing blow BUT YEAH JUST IGNORE IT IT'S FINE fuck look it's a long video alright this is like a 10 second mistake please forgive me ANYWAY CHEERS FOR 39(.1)K SUBS BOIZ! I'm hoping to do a 40k special thingy. Basically just a normal video but my excuse for making it will be 40k subs haha

[@LargeToastie]

"It's a long story but Yakuza 0's English version was based off the Chinese version" is actually something interesting I have never heard before.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

I dunno the full story but I think just purely programming-wise it was the Chinese version or something like that, which is why kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ3OkpZ6i82NnpYsi=QJbI5a9HyxaIzYUi

[@LargeToastie]

These kinds of stories in game development are just interesting to me even if they are very minor. Version differences between regions have always interested me.

[@ahok1937]

@@LargeToastie also Lao Gui in chinese has a different appearance based on the voice actor, i think it was a movie star or something.

[@mat8791]

​@@SnowiestAngemanActually you were spot on. Lao Gui's lines actually do not correspond with what he says in the Japanese version's audio audio. But with the Chinese version audio the lines match. Looks indeed like Yakuza 0's english translation was built on the chinese one and then it got localized into what we know.

[@connorkinsman3164]

That's a genuine "ohhhh" piece of trivia especially combined with the Lao Gui evidence others have mentioned

[@Tybell702]

They're not useless facts, they're facts that you bring up randomly when a conversation becomes boring

[@SnowiestAngeman]

And it's all contained within a video that is very not boring (I promise)

[@charlescalthrop2535]

Especially to people who have never heard of Yakuza.

[@alexeyeliseev6322]

"I need to tell you something important. I am pregnant" "Anyway, did you know Chinese voice actors for Infinite Wealth dubbed their English lines by themselves? Crazy, huh?"

[@weedGato]

​@@SnowiestAngemanwrong!!!

[@ize3]

"so... about the chinese dub..."

[@spysedits57]

akiyama hitting the jiggy wiggy at 1:35 is the most baller thing like god damn no wonder he can dance in yakuza 5

[@Taking2354]

theres an sidequest you can choose akiyama dancing

[@alajhondro]

Did you know? In Yakuza 3, press "START". This causes the game to pause.

[@alexeyeliseev6322]

You liar, it causes the main menu to appear! (I'm on the title screen)

[@ksad96]

Seems sketchy, idk someone needs to fact check that in a KZbin video

[@pilotsayshello1758]

The chinese dub being as good as it is was a such a surprise. Also GODDAMN Bryce in the English Dub is crazy

[@suicidalskeleton8779]

Weirdly the Chinese dub has been good since Its implementation into the Yakuza series. Pleasant surprise

[@oneblacksun]

Their English is good because speaking conversation-level English is a lot more important to them.

[@avestrustheone6349]

I like how whenever Eric uses the panacea move, he says: “BEHOLD! SOME HERBS AND SHIT!”

[@brandonsclips7741]

Funny how Engliah VA Tonizawa is the best at doing the "engrish" accent lmao

[@risingphoenix2328]

Since you seem to love these facts did you know that in the French version, since they obviously couldn't use "Bon Voyage" in the subtitles, they used "have fun" instead. Which makes Ichi not getting simple English when he's going to Hawaii... Which actually fits 😂

[@commanderodinstark3416]

“no one’s specialized to be a certain job”: adachi being the slowest mf of all time:

[@ToodlTonke212]

Having never listened to the English dub version of Bryce I'm well impressed with just how much more intimidating he sounds

[@amberhernandez]

It's so much easier to be intimidated by Bryce when he doesn't sound like a senior citizens' home escapee they found halfway through the Grey Goose stock at the 24-hour liquor store lmao

[@hanzonoskillmercymainbtw8584]

He’s voiced by Chris Parson, who also voiced Gladiolus in FFXV and Junkrat in Overwatch

[@RuggedRing]

The Chinese-English is pretty good too

[@jcosmozd]

Something I do really like about Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth is that stats are definitely more tied to the job, rather than the character, meaning you can actually make Adachi useful.

[@goastem2991]

I really like the yakuza breakup scene because in 7 its more brighter because ichiban is fan boying right now, and in gaiden its darker because kiryu has been through a lotta shit to get here😂

[@donutdog1937]

Every other dub not having Danny Trejo is a travesty

[@Cloudd0]

3:03, Italian viewer here, I can confirm that in the Italian translation they still go with "While surrounded by enemies"

[@aussiegamer2750]

here’s a fun fact: in at least like a dragon gaiden, you can press L3 or equivalent to drop a weapon, doing the animation that happens at the end of a fight if your holding a weapon. That means they actually made something worse than throwing a weapon in combat.

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Oh my god man L3 DOES IT?! I have been legit wondering what the hell the button was to drop weapons for years lol

[@swolzer]

the akiyama dance at 1:35 is my new favourite yakuza dance ever

[@seven7tr]

Funny thing, but the French subtitles for Infinite Wealth (which, btw, are only there since Judgment), don't say "Bon Voyage", but "Have Fun" (in English), because it wouldn't make sense otherwise

[@SnowiestAngeman]

Haha that’s a pretty clever way to go about it then

[@Spalfos]

imo the only real bummer with the English dub of 8 is the way the karaoke tracks are produced. Often they’re missing effects or entire harmonies, and the pitch correction is *really* noticeable. I’m sure the team just had much more experience producing dialogue than music though (And sure, yeah, Kiryu should sound like 20 years older, but Yong does a solid job with the emotional scenes especially. He’s never half as distracting as Japanese Bryce speaking English)

[@RocketPineapple]

Thanks, man, also gonna use this trivia when I'm at the pub trying to pick up.

[@MarioTainaka]

Whadayaknow? The video really did drop "tomorrow"

[@ZyxousMew]

10:00 bless ye for comparing dub differences 🙏 I've been wanting to see that, especially the subtitle track differences. people not trying the eng dub are missing out on some great characterization and voice work, imo. (eng adachi and tomi are so good lmao) also i will die on the hill that "a hui hou" makes so much more sense for them to use, my hawaiian ass is honestly disappointed that was only in the english version

[@Blumiene]

Thank you the Real PJiggles for trivia on the game Yakuza: World of Light

[@SnowiestAngeman]

You’re welcome. Now you see I was gonna make a 3DS and Wii U joke but with PSP and PS3 but then I realised that instead of Smash 4 it would just be Yakuza 4. So Yaku 4 the 3DS and Wii U or something there you go

[@Blumiene]

i assume this is the funniest joke that would be heard in anyone’s life

[@GreyMcBeal]

The voice acting bit of this video got me so hype, and I really enjoyed it. You’re really good at explaining things!!

[@Go-yo]

Nishitani III on dub is also really good. Tyler Yamabe, his dub actor, debuts in Gaiden which is really impressive

[@DrBillogna]

Great video as always. I think the バンバン joke (12:35) is a 4th wall break in reference to Takuya Kimura's / SMAP's song BANG BANG

[@amberhernandez]

In Lost Judgment's parkour segments, you can slide along the wall with the same stick movement as 1:18 and it's just as funny as it sounds lol

[@jevsjeavous]

Ah yes, Danny Trejo. My favourite language of the 3 XD

[@Erbio69]

Yes, you have italian listeners i'm one of them, but i play Yakuza in english soooo lmao

[@plandaster]

I was more under the impression that the XIV in the Amon theme was because it's the 14th time we fight the Amon clan in the franchise (excluding rereleases) would make a lot more sense as we wouldn't have to make exceptions like ignoring the Kurohyou games seeing as he wasn't in those games as far as I know

[@gianncmedina7805]

Would be cool to see Tatsuya get and be able to fight an Amon

[@plandaster]

@@gianncmedina7805 Lets hope for a remake and maybe it'll happen.

@@plandaster True. But would be greatly appreciated especially if no one was expecting a Kurohyou 3 😁

[@MarioTainaka]

You killed it with the entire video! Especially the dub facts. One other difference between the LAD IW scene for ya. They added extra efforts for Ichi in the Gaiden dub near the end probably to fix the timing

[@softsoundd]

[@tenbeihazard1968]

Thank you for being the only RGG KZbinr who gives the english dubs the time of day

[@yaneproduction]

You can also hold RB or R1 and the sprint will work only if you hold it too. So while holding RB or R1 and spamming sprint you can make dragon engine characters go ice skatin

I found most Yakuza KZbinrs (the....4 other people besides you lol) kinda annoying but you really stuck to me. You give info well and you're funny as shit, so if you make a vid about anything I'll watch it.

[@ize3]

thank you for that incredible information

[@fishysquad6372]

I will never understand how RGG studio has almost a yearly release

[@KaitouKaiju]

Reused assets. They get a lot of mileage out of changing up the gameplay quite a bit from game to game

[@NothingAtAll2461]

Damn, Bryce's english dub voice is good.

[@smug_slime]

Another reason they didnt use bon voyage in the english dub because they already use it on Y7 nancy the crawfish sub story when ichiban throw nancy into the river.

[@AdamMerlin]

Wonderful use of the most nostalgia filled song in Tekken, even if not that old. Or even my first Tekken. It just FEELS nostalgic

[@smash4129]

I would love for you to make a whole video covering interesting voice actors across all yakuza games (both japanese and english dubs)

[@samyprostar]

Good on you for talking about the dubs. I’m fine with hearing things in Japanese. But I try to use English dubs when possible to be better immersed. I honestly was interested in how the English characters in IW would sound in different dubs.

My trick with Nanba's low attack was to just use the Gearworks brand that allows him to use his Magic stat for physical damage. Now I have a Nanba with 600+ Magic which is basically also his Attack.

[@homeslicebread8443]

Those tekken transitions are the best things i’ve ever seen

[@joyeuxroger4648]

in french Eiji also says "bon voyage" to Ichiban but then wen Ichiban ask him what it means he tels him it's like "have fun" wich is completly wrong, it means have a nice trip

The engrish in Infinite Wealth has mad House of The Dead vibes and its giving me the weirdest nostalgia vibes

[@gustavopientznauer1117]

the mistranslation on gaiden escape throw move is present on the portuguese translation of the game too. So it must be true for all languages (at least the west ones) because they all derive from the english version

[@camocamel8217]

I only knew this cuz of a mod, but Kiryu actually uses Yagami's walking animation from Tiger style, specifically where he's not locked in but close to an enemy

[@Canon_Chan]

I would love to see a video comparing Kamurocho in all the games.

[@Dinklr]

Hey bro i really enjoy your videos but I just wanna say that It would probably be best to branch out from yakuza If you are burning out on the game. personally I would love to see a video of yours on a game like shin megami tensei or xenoblade 3 since I see you use those games music all the time in your videos. I think your style of comedy and editing could bring a lot to series other than yakuza. ofc Idm if you keep making yakuza videos since I love those but it just sounded like you needed a break from the series at the end of the video. Stay strong bro and I'm wishing you well from new Zealand.

[@NightmareSnake]

I just got whiplash at 1:33 Let me explain why That song is the character customization theme from Tekken Tag Tournament 2, titled "Your Sunset" I use that song, even specifically that part of the song, at the end of all of my videos I am currently playing through the Yakuza series That is a stacked amount of coincidences right there

Fun fact about Russian localization (I dunno if it's related to other languages) - in karaoke text boxes for simple interjections and passionate interjections were swapped, so for a long time I couldn't understand why I was playing like a rhythm god and never got a score higher than 90. It was fixed only in Infinite Wealth, so in Like a Dragon and Gaiden more difficult and lively interjections presumably were just simple and ordinary karaoke singing

[@GomerJ]

Dude... I spent like 6 hours of my Gaiden playthrough trying to get that fucking skill to go off in every fight I got into just to at least see it once and wondering if I was a dumbass. Thanks, localization team. At least my integrity is now intact.
