What's even funnier is that if you befriend the bowling alley attendant, she offers you a full turkey if you get a turkey in bowling. And Kiryu is like "mmh a turkyey..." and it's a chicken instead. That he names Nugget, who he lets do real estate as a manager.

A little fun story. I wrote a cross culture paper comparing English and Japanese for a college course and used Kiryu and Majima's KIRYU-CHAN as a "hypothetical" example. I got an A on the paper.

4:02 His family name is Kazama, which is different from Kiryu's first name, Kazuma. This confusion is why the original Yakuza's localization changed Kazama to Fuma.

So I played this series since 2006 as a kid and when 5 came out I was sad because it was only ps3 and it wasn’t known to the world unless you rented the first game on ps2 somehow lol but then they made this as a comeback title and pulled all the stops to make this the reboot debut of the franchise. I cried because everyone would finally see a beautiful yet fucking hilarious game. I’m so proud of rgg developers. They killed it with this game and haven’t stopped since. Also this video is amazing please do more of the games! ❤

[@dm.3145]

Btw I have played the remakes but should I go back and play the ps2 original games too?

[@tonybippitykaye]

Cyan playing How to train your Dominatrix in the park: “We are awful human beings…that’s what we’re doing, we’re being terrible humans.” Shrink Wrapped Dream cackling like a madman in the distance: “Oh you think Kiryu is terrible now when it comes to kids, just you wait!”

This is a wonderful series and I absolutely adore it. I began my journey last year and the games are wonderful. Hopefully you will continue on with this series.

[@isaiahfojtasek7768]

If you didn't think the game was ridiculous enough, apparently almost all of the female characters in the side content are "actresses." This isn't a thing in any of the other Yakuza games, just this one.

[@Ashurman666]

Hell, the latest one features a very well known vtuber named KSON. And I do mean her real self, not her vtuber avatar

yeah, your real estate secretary? actress. that girl from the pretend-boyfriend substory? actress. heck even the arcade employees are actresses you also get softcore vids of them if you complete their substories / befriended them

Not sure why the quotes. And the cards aren't a thing in the other games, but then being real people is consistent since at least Y3. They hold a contest with each game.

Great video ,I've found out about the Yakuza games in late 2017 from watching a Twitch stream, then watched another full playthrough early 2018. Played Yakuza 0 on pc in 2018. Before that The Witcher 3 was my favorite game ever, 500 h played ,bought it twice on gog and steam, I love that game Now TW3 is out of my top 10 and 7 RGG games are in my top 10, I can't put into words how much I love this series, I've played Yakuza 0 every year since 2018 and ofc the other Yakuza games as they released on pc

[@killingmachinelp]

The joy of seeing someone discover the yakuza series. I had the same reaction after playing my 1st yakuza game (y0). If you upgrade kiryu, the shakedown dude becomes your walking bank 🤣. Also, the 3 lieutenants are all popular japanese actors. The cabaret club girls are mostly actual JAV actresses, the arcade girl too 🤣 Tip: Don't skip the side stories (Hours played: 130+ 🤣)
