Yakuza 0 All Kiryu Heat Actions Reaction

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We had planned on watching all the Heat actions and had Majima's setup to watch, but as we saw the first couple of Heat actions they seemed the same as Kiryu's just with a different character. But apparently that's not the case so we will have to get to Majima's heat actions in another video. Apologies everyone!

[@SolProxy]

Hope you guys watch the scripted heat-actions against bosses in the story for both guys too, also morally Kiryu is a good guy who fights in self-defence and to protect others. Defo one of the best video-game characters ever.

[@totor999]

Yeah they're both very different characters in their fighting styles, they have similar environmental/weapon moves but they have their own "style" you can see in the corner and unique techniques within each. Both Kiryu and Majima have a blue style that is balanced, a purple one that is speed-based, a yellow one that's powerful but slow and a white one that's like when their full power is unleashed, but they have very different ways of doing them.

[@jwoodsjr123sgameroom5]

Other than being involved in organized crime, Kiryu is a nice guy that'll help out anyone in need, whether you're an old lady, a child, a stranger it doesn't matter he'll help lmao.

A couple of things: The sword is called a Photon Sword and it's definitely a lightsaber. That was indeed a Sega sign. The series is published by Sega, and even has Sega arcades within the games that have fully playable arcade versions of Sega arcade games, including a full version of Virtua Fighter 5 in later entries. Kiryu is the main character of Y0-6, and the storylines span several decades, from 1988-2016. During this time, Kiryu has been a real estate mogul, a Yakuza clan leader, the head of an orphanage, a taxi driver, and a babysitter, among many other things.

[@ranmo2549]

[@XC11301991]

I really hope you guys play this some day. This series is so good with its drama, the side missions, and the mini games. Characters are memorable and cool. The situations get serious with the main story but then get hilariously outlandish with the side stories. Also Kiryu has never killed anybody before, he's a good boy. Also fun fact, Toshihiro Nagoshi the creator of the Yakuza series is actually has friendly relationship with the Yakuza which is probably why he's created this romanticized version of the gang.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

And the Yakuza were probably like, you can’t show us killing anyone 😂

[@Netsaver]

Fun Fact: Despite the exceeding brutality of these attacks Kiryu has never killed anybody he has fought. Also the reason why money is coming out of his opponents is because Yakuza 0 takes place during the japanese asset bubble, where money was very flagrant Money is used not only to buy stuff but to upgrade the players. But you also should see the boss specific Heat Actions as those are not only super stylized but really cool too. Also Yakuza is... a personal favorite of mine and IMO one of the greatest series ever made, it's one of the few rare series where everything is connected. Stuff that happens in Zero has impact on future entries in the game. It's a really fun series to play and it's story is pretty damn well done. The combat is also great and has mostly evolved since the first entry. If you decide to play the game series start with 0, then go to Kiwami, and then Kiwami 2, then Yakuza 3, 4, 5 and 6. It's an epic saga of the main character Kiryu Kazuma.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Lots of games in the series. So is that the chronological order of the series 🤔🙂

[@Netsaver]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Pretty much there's also Yakuza 7 but honestly I stopped after 6 myself, I'm not saying 7 is a bad game just not a game for me. Other games that are connected to the Yakuza series is the Judgement games, but It's story is very separated from the main events of Yakuza, however characters from Yakuza are referenced in Judgement you don't need to play Judgement to really get any story from Yakuza. Only other thing I can say is that Kiwami 1 and 2 have a much different combat system compared to 3, 4 and 5. Technically speaking Kiwami's 2 combat is based on Yakuza 6's combat system Yakuza 6 came out before Kiwami 2 and that's why they have the same combat system. The Kiwami games are more modern remakes of the original Yakuza 1 and 2, with slightly more story and better overall combat.

[@mizuchi3036]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Well that's one of the reasons I love Kiryu so much. He isn't completely motivated by revenge no matter how bad they've wronged him. He always tries to see the good in everyone. A man stabbed him right in front of his adopted daughter and time after Kiryu still helped him after he showed injured up almost dead to Kiryu's house. He's pretty much a superhero pretending to be a criminal but aside from fighting like one, he's pretty bad at the role.

Honestly, if they had to start somewhere and don't want to play 7 games in a row, (I tried I got 1-3 then got tired of the same game over and over) they could start on 7. New cast of Characters, new City, new genre, same kind of plot and world.

He did indirectly killed a man, like how he used man as a human shields in Kiwami.

[@dionotdio]

The "never killed a man" was a mistranslation Kiryu will never murder in cold blood, but if it's for self defense then he will kill. If some dude runs at him with a knife and Kiryu just reverses it into his gut, he won't lose any sleep over that. But, if Kiryu knocks him out no problem? He will not grab the knife and finish the job.

[@dionotdio]

Oh and all those times where he's shot at cars and exploded helicopters are "kill or be killed" situations, he can't exactly knock out each and every driver/pilot. And if he doesn't do anything then they'll just kill him.

Yakuza 0 also has a second protaganist you can play as, Goro Majima, who is the guy with the eye-patch, He becomes a bit of a rival in Yakuza Kiwami 1, popping up everywhere thanks to the "Majima Everywhere" System being introduced, a ton of funny little interactions come from that, some crazy as well, as crazy as Majima in Kiwami 1!

There's a ton of sidequests, ridiculous, sad, plenty of emotions in the Yakuza SERIES (literally 100+ in Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 from when I played), it's a must-play! Also, Kiryu Kazama is a gold-hearted character, he's silly sometimes, always too serious but still helping out people, accidentally or not, He's pretty naive too, and has no experience with women whatsoever, also he never killed anybody, it's like the batman situation, except REAAAAAALLY stretched thin, considering the knife heat actions and in some combat cutscenes you haven't really seen yet, dropkicking somebody off a window way high up, also using a gun, since you have guns!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

[@mat13channel]

Guys, Kazuma Kiryu is like the best video game character out there. He is so good it's beyond belief. I've finished all of Yakuza games and haven't even seen half of these moves because you need to be in Heat Mode and acquire specific item or weapon to use at the right moment. He is yakuza, at least in the beginning, but he mostly fights actual yakuza and helps everyone else. I mean, he runs the orphanage and helps children without parents ;)) He is tough as hell and a great fighter, but he never wants to fight anyone, and definitely doesn't kill anyone even those who constantly try to kill him. The moves displayed there are just for display against infinite number of random fights which are always instigated by various badguys and hooligans. He is one of the most moral, and kind characters in the history of video games. You need to play these games and not just focus on battle gameplay which is made to look cool rather than serious. No matter what you use in the fight, at the end of it enemies usually just apologize for attacking you and flee, they're not dead or stabbed or with broken bones :P

They can't call it but it is definitely a lightsaber. Yakuza 0 takes place in the late 80's and Star Wars is still an entertainment juggernaught (movies, videogames, comics, tv serials/shows etc).

[@JoaoLucasK]

So, as brutal as Kiryu is when he fights, he's a very wholesome and gold-hearted character. And speaking of fighting, he has 3 normal fighting styles and one secret fighting style. Blue aura is his Brawler style. Basically a street-fighting style, pretty balanced in terms of speed and power. Pink aura is Rush style. A boxing-like style focused on fast combos and attacks, as well as a lot of movement options, like dodging and weaving. Yellow aura is Beast style. A brutal, powerhouse style, it does high damage and is amazing against crowds of enemies, but it's slow. He can also automatically pick up objects while attacking in this style (while in other styles, he has to run up to the object and grab it). White aura is the secret, Legend style, unlockable after completing a minigame. It's basically Kiryu's classical style from Yakuza 1 and onwards, but missing a few moves because the story takes place before Yakuza 1, so Kiryu did not meet some characters who would teach him some of his signature moves. Also, money keeps flying out of the enemies because the story takes place in the 80s Japan, when Japan had a bubble economy and money was abundant. Also, money in this game is not only for buying items and weapons, but it also serves to actually upgrade the characters' stats and obtain new skills

Y'all said that Kiryu didn't crack a smile at the beginning, but he totally did. You should look at his face when he first enters vs. after Majima pulls his "KIRYUUUU-CHAN." He's smirking, which is as much of a smile as you'll get from him unless you're part of a very wholesome side story. Kiryu, for the most part, really enjoys fighting with Majima, since they can keep up with each other. But the expression is subtle. He barely raises a corner of his mouth. But that's practically beaming for Kiryu 😂

Definitely recommend watching Majimas next

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Looking forward to checking those out 🙂

[@dracocrusher]

When you have the time, you should react to Yakuza Like a Dragon's summons. Like a Dragon is basically an RPG-style game because the main character is a huge weirdo Dragon Quest fan that fantasizes all of his jobs as RPG-style quests, and all of his 'summons' are just calling various goofy characters up on his cell phone to come by and help him out. They're just as well animated as these moves, but they lean way more into the goofier side of the Yakuza series, which should be pretty fun.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

On our request list for the series 🙂

[@brunobrito7611]

That was only the heat actions for one of the characters called Kiryu Kazuma. You should also see every heat action for the character wearing a eye patch called Majima Goro. Really cool!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We plan to check those out as well 😇

[@prabhsimransinghkalkat1600]

I would recommend heat moves from yakuza kiwami 2 which is a remake in their newer engine, the heat moves in that are truly next level.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Added to our Yakuza request list 🙂

[@titanhades4331]

This just makes me want to see these guys in Deathbattles. Kiryu vs Kingpin Majima vs Joker

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Nice Death Battle lineups 😀

[@dionotdio]

Yea Kingpin is a dude that can go head up with the likes of Spider-Man and Daredevi, that would be a great match up 😮 And Joker... Joker has shown he can hold his own against Batman, but idk if he can take Majima's raw strength. Majima can legit punch hard enough to collapse an entire floor 💀

[@titanhades4331]

@@dionotdio Yeah. Kiryu vs Kingpin just match up so perfectly, that I legitimately could not fathom who would win. Kiryu would definitely have no problem lifting Kingpin cause like Kingpin, his strength is insane. The common theme of both leading criminal organizations. Not to mention it is so easy to write a lead up to a battle. Kingpin trying to muscle in to getting a foothold into the Japanese criminal underworld with Kiryu having none of that. :) What would be scary is the tradition of Kiryu and his opponent ripping off their jackets and shirts before their battle. Cause I could definitely see Deathbattle doing that for their battle, because its Kiryu. :) Kingpin asking "What the hell are you doing???" And Kiryu saying " Getting ready to fight." Oh...about Majima vs Joker. I totally forgot to mention, they had Mark hamill voice Majima for the English version of the first game. Think about that. They went out of their way to get the animated voice of Joker to also play Majima. They knew what they were doing. :) For anyone who somehow doesn't know, for most of the last 30 years, if you saw any game or animated show that has Joker, most of the time he was voiced by Mark Hamill. And as an interesting tidbit, Kiryus best friend was voiced by the person who plays Lex Luthor in Smallville. And his love interest voiced by the person that voiced She-Hulk.

[@geddistopholes6785]

Another classic, awesome franchise you've gotten to. The easy way to describe it is a Japanese GTA, but it's so much more than that, also having fighting game and life sim elements, more so than GTA. In fact, Yakuza was originally conceived, I believe, as something of a spiritual successor to a franchise I believe I've suggested before called Shenmue. Would also love to see you check out finishing moves and or environmental kills from a game called Sleeping Dogs, some similar vibes. At any rate, combat in these is super fun, you should definitely play. Cheers!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Sleeping Dogs is for sure in our list but didn’t know much about it. Rare right? 😂

[@indralesmana4822]

Oh god. Thank you for reacting to this. If both of you can, please react to Majima's heat action and all the cutscenes from the Yakuza 0 game in style of your reaction to The Witcher

Plan to do both. Although we may end up playing this 🤔😀

[@indralesmana4822]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames That's......RAD !

[@PersonWMA]

That's one half of all Heat Actions in this game. Now you have to see Majima's, and then the ones in the other eight games , counting both Judgments and not counting Yakuza 7, but then again, 7 has those summon animations and special attacks, so... Yep, a real can of worms, but a truly excellent game series nonetheless.

Honestly Kiryu is a extremely kind hearted man with a good sense of justice he is a total badass in a fight and will do what he deems necessary to achieve his goals so despite his brutal combat skills he’s easy to cheer for! also he lives for combat dude is like ryu from street fighter

[@Sky-wi4nm]

In case y'all dont understand, the golden aura represents the fight style they are using, which are Blue, Pink, Gold and White. In the series usually Blue are the most default fighting style, Pink delivers the lowest damage but being the fastest speed that can non stop combo your opponents, Gold being the brutal one that deals lots of damage but slower momentum, and White is the Legendary combat moves that sticks to the character story, which in this case Kiryu is called The Dragon of Dojima, and Majima known as Mad Dog of Shimano, from the name you can pretty much tell their personalities This type of combat system were used until Yakuza Kiwami, and it got completely changed in Yakuza Kiwami 2 up until Yakuza 6: Song of Life

[@khaleelurrivers3410]

The lightsaber is more of a stun rod than what the jedi use sadly. thats why the enemies are dizzy with stars aroudn their heads when he hits them with it.

[@csgoyuri6413]

Please react to Goro Majima's heat actions too! I waited for the moment you guys were going to check Yakuza 0 out! You finally did! Man, would be awesome if you guys included the recent games like Kiwami 2 or 6. By the way, the protagonist, Kiryu, isn't an evil guy -- the enemies he's beating up tend to start fights against him like the first video where he dodges the swing. Kiryu's probably one of the kindest protagonists out there -- he even helped out an old man get the closure he needed with the loss of his son who died while volunteering on an unspecified war overseas, which was totally a stranger to him. Love the content guys!

Funny thing, Kiryu in 0 is like really naive and nice persone (well I guess it doesnt really change in other games) but he fighting extremly brutal Aslo dont foget Majima. Probably most favorite charecter of all Yakuza's (really tragic charecter I must say, just hides it)

You know what I find ironic as well? Part of the plot of this game is that Kiryu is accused of murder. Then you look at all of this video and go "yeah, of course he's innocent, sure." (To be fair the guy was shot, which, in retrospect, seems tame compared to some of the stuff Kiryu does here.)

[@slowpoke8585]

You two should REALLY play the Yakuza games (starting with Zero). It’s honestly one of the most wholesome games I have ever played. EVERYONE loves Kiryu. He inspired me to hit the gym!
