Honestly, I think Shishido is actually the perfect final boss for Kiryu. He IS what's left of the yakuza, Kiryu's old life. Shishido is the physical manifestation of the Yakuza, a cornered, tortured, tormented animal who just refuses to give in and move on, who sees only pride and lust for more power and respect, and eventually suffers the same fate at the yakuza themselves do, crippled and enslaved by the laws and surveillance of the government. Although in Shishido's case, his ultimate fate is a lot more literal when it comes to enslavement, thanks to the Daidoji. Its beautifully poetic, even this track sounds more somber than epic as a final boss theme.

For potentially Kiryu's final standalone game this boss is perfect, honestly, gameplay and story wise. Better than Iwami a whole universe away and a superior execution of what Aizawa was trying to be Battle for the Dream and Deadly Struggle are on the same level for me, absolute bangers

Shishido is a better written version of Aizawa.

At least for Iwami, he's a twisted version of Kiryu. Whereas Kiryu resepected Kazama immensely and Kazama let him follow him into the yakuza life, Iwami resented Kuruse for providing him with an "easy" job. Kind of like Aizawa, they both wanted to claw their way up and claim what they wanted with their own two hands. In Shishido's case it's much more prominent since you arguably spend more time with him and his motivations.

@@miken8875 iwami isn't that. he was supposed to represent the fall of the yakuza. we laughed at patriarchs like kanda because they had no real threat, but iwami is a dude at the top who is ironically the lowest of the low in terms of yakuza, all the yakuza are now are just hotheaded cowards who only got there because of luck or daddy's influence. aizawa and shishido are different because unlike iwami, aizawa and shishido respect the fact that the yakuza has unspoken rules and just want to make their way to the top of the yakuza naturally, whether its aizawa and him just being involved in a plan he doesn't wanna be in, or shishido's reckless denial of the yakuza becoming government slaves

RGG realized the fans were unsatisfied with Yakuza 6 as Kiryu's finale and they apologized by making a new finale. RGG is truly a GOAT developer.

Shishido reminds me of Ryuji, the way he uses swords and has a hulking physique.

@messmermusicals1367 Жыл бұрын
who wins between the two? I sincerely believe Shishido could win against every mainline Yakuza boss due to his ridiculous durability. The only boss I doubt he could win against is Ryuji, who is also ridiculously endurant; Shishido survived a fall several stories deep, Ryuji survived getting shot. Who wins?
