Hijikata is such a good character, and so is this theme. I love the fact that Mine was able to fulfill his promise in Ishin… “Maybe in the next life, I’ll have what it takes to earn your respect”

[@MatsuSenpaii]

I just remembered that both Ishin games released after Yakuza 3, so what Mine says is somewhat correct, even though Ishin is far in the past

[@TheTanelitanu15]

Little did Mine know he had already earned his respect in the past as Hijikata.

I got spoiled that this theme was in the game before I started Ishin, and was super suspicious of Hijikata the entire game because I knew he'd be a boss fight eventually. I felt rather silly when it turned out to be a friendly sparring match. I should have never doubted him.

[@jordanmason210]

Same here, I completely doubted him but honestly they did him some justice cause he was calm and collected through what happened also remained loyal to his captains.

While I like how Yakuza OSTs are always changing, it's good to know RGG's composers can still replicate the Y3/Y5 era of music, which is my favorite

[@BathrobeHero]

the music really helps each entry stand out on their own

[@xeeeeiijj]

RGG TRY NOT TO BE BASED EVERY GAME RELEASE CHALLENGE (LEGEND)

[@Joao-uk4lr]

I actually love how you fight with Hijikata only in a sparring match. Hijikata is a cold but cool guy and had suffered because the class system like Ryoma and others members of the Shinsengumi. The fact that RGG didn't creat clonfit for the sake of the conflit was really great.

[@we-must-live]

[@ceruxii3079]

Being the best Yakuza final boss, he deserved his own theme in Ishin!

[@darkmanure]

Cannonly the strongest final boss so far, Kiryu was out of breath at the end and was so worn out.

[@professortree9387]

@@darkmanure glad I’m not the only one. I feel like he outclasses Ryuji, character and combat wise, which might be a hot take but it’s my opinion.

[@dionotdio]

@@professortree9387 def not a hot take considering Ryuji lot to Kiryu while wielding a katana lololol besides that Mine is one of the few guys that has Kiryu both visibly bruised and breathless by the end of their fight. Most others even among big shots only fill one of these two criteria

[@professortree9387]

@@dionotdio yeah, even the game describes Mine to be his arch-nemesis if I remember correctly. putting combat aside, Mine stole the show in 3. his design was amazing, despite what he did to the morning glory orphanage. he had class, knew how to keep calm in most situations, and when he lost his temper, he becomes real terrifying unlike most of the villains. what helped balance the evil shit he's done was the fact that if Mine respected you, and was loyal to you, he would show it. obviously, Daigo had that respect, and the way Mine stood up for him in the plane ride with his underlings talking shit about him was a key example of what Mine will do out of respect and loyalty for someone. although he was going to kill Daigo in the end, that was only when he felt utterly hopeless that Daigo would recover. and when he did, he was in shock, worried about what Daigo would think of him after everything he's done to betray the Tojo clan. Ryuji had respect toward Kiryu, and showed a soft, caring side at the very end with Kaoru. but throughout the game he was fairly snobby and cocky, character wise that while it made his final moments all the more tender, it was still fairly short lived.

[@Chibi_Devanam]

To me Mine was the best aspect of whole game. Struggling through whole Blockuza just to reach boss with banger soundtrack and unique aura-switching moveset, who doesn't even blocks often, I consider as one of best memories I have of the franchise. Haven't played modern Dragon Engine games and K1 yet, so far other final bosses I fought didn't felt so challenging comparing to him (maybe excluding Nishiki from OG1.) Maybe Mine didn't had plenty of flashy QTEs like Aizawa or Shibusawa but still fighting him was a blast from start to end. Felt weird seeing his unique moveset being reused on like half of tougher Colisseum fighters in 5.

In a similar way to “Receive you, Reborn” they managed to capture that same feeling of epic confrontation with a modern twist. (Or in Ishin’s case, a traditional one) Sure, it can never replace the original, but goddamn does it sound amazing? Absolutely!

[@MasatakaEbina]

I dislike Receive You Reborn because they removed the rolling eyes fall chant. Soar respects the original.

[@johnnyjoestar1080]

I guess Mine flew so Hijikata could soar as our ally the whole way

[@drangelice]

I love how all the trailers hyped Hijikata up as this iron fisted leader of The Shinsengumi but in game he's earnest, loyal and one of Saito's closest allies to the point they call each other brother. Hell, even his boss fight is just a friendly duel spurred on by the fact that they're the only two who haven't fought yet. Nakamura portrays him masterfully and Soar really captures the closeness that the surviving members of The Shinsengumi share with each other.

I agree. The antagonists always redeem themselves in the end, just to die seconds later. It would be really cool to see redeemed villains come back as allies, which I can only think of like three times it’s happened, instead of just instantly killing them off.
