Developer: Ok, so we are going to have an epic sewer fight. Kuze will fight with an iron pipe this time. Supervisor: He needs a motorcycle. Developer: What? Supervisor: Yeah, Kuze can charge at Kiryu with an iron pipe on a motorcycle. Developer: But how would he even get a motorcycle into the sewers? Supervisor: Just make the tunnels bigger. Trust me. The people will love it.

Without Kuze, Kiryu would never have became the legendary yakuza he becomes in the later games imo. Kuze taught kiryu that as long as you can get back on your feet then nothing is really over, "one little finger doesnt mean shit". He showed him that a real man shapes who he is as a yakuza, not the other way around.

This was the peak of Kiryu and Kuze's rivalry. In that sewer was not a regular scrap fight no, no. That fight was an exchange of manliness in which Kiryu proved to be the more manlier.

Yeah. Of all the boss fights with Kuze, the 2nd one was the best one. How he came at Kiryu with a motorcycle and a pipe, his speech about willpower, how the music helped build up the hype, everything was just perfect.

[@otistyson5636]

No I disagree Kiryu already prove that he was manly through there first fight. Kuze wanted to show he Kiryu the meaning of why he join the yakuza to fight strong opponents like him. He don’t care if he lost a pinky his rank or even his life he wants to know he can still be alive fighting a opponent that gave him the reason to be strong. He like a underdog even when you kick his teeth in he’ll still bite.

[@halofly3]

My first fight with Kuze went something like, his face looks old and he probably isn’t that bad. He then threw off his coat revealing how in shape he actually was and he started to circle me while punching relentlessly. I learned my lesson after that. By the last encounter I strangely didn’t want the fight to end. That feeling became stronger when Kuze and Kiryu just started punching each other with reckless abandon, no dodges or blocks. While I’ve beaten 0, Kiwami and I’m working my way through Kiwami 2 now. Kuze’s battles and themes remain as my favorite in Yakuza series so far.
