That and he knows his true personality, not the Mad Dog persona but the real Majima to what they described being "The Straight and Narrow" type of guy. He knew that if they actually mess with him further and straight up go to war with him officially, he'll drop the act and will finish them off personally and pull another Dojima Family incident. Pretty sure at that point, the Omi knew what happened with the whole Empty Lot and Dojima Family incidents and Ryuji has every right to be wary of Majima.

[@Isiauwuehrifi]

Ryuji said something like “pick a fight with a no bullshit guy like him? Never in a million years.” Ryuji knew they couldn’t have used a lame ass excuse such as the murder of an omi officer to pick the fight with majima. And if they did force the fight, majima wouldn’t hold back like kiryu would.

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE IT WAS HIM LOL

[@mdhatemchipli8849]

is he really, really *THE* Ryuuji from Yakuza 2 and Yakuza The End?

[@mdhatemchipli8849]

Forget i just said HE IS Ryuuji Goda

[@CPat75]

I cannot believe that I just learned that he is Goda from kiwami 2

[@Roderickthegray]

12? Wow I feel sorry for all the high schoolers that tried crossing him, and what have they been feeding him steroids and milk?!😂

[@unofficial_gamer6813]

In Yakuza Black Panther 2. The girl giving a poster is fight club in Kansai Clan.

1:53 Darn this moment hurts so badly LOL I can't help covering my own LMFAOOO

[@PaddyRoon7]

Using the nunchuk heat action was a lovely touch lol

[@cammy649]

Dang even at a young age he was huuuge

[@SpJrD]

And those two kids became his 2 goons later in Yakuza 2 🙃

[@unknownshadow966]

Only i noticed? Or Ryuji in his fight against Majima using *FREAKING DRAGON STYLE?!!*

[@FluffyFox559]

No, it's regular goon style mixed with knuckle duster moves.

[@blackwind677]

Hoorah child abuse! #NotMyKid

[@mavolent6332]

funny how that the guy who got its pants stolen looks like young kiryu and the guy who stole them are literally fucking young ryuji

[@joesama8818]

I played this substory back in february, back then I did not play any of the other yakuza games, now I played basically all of them (the main series) and only now I realize that this guy is Ryuji

[@Glasseyyy]

Oh my god, it really WAS him

[@ch4rlesiv115]

I thought something was up when the title of such a strange substory was so dramatic sounding

[@Glassandcandy]

I just finished Kiwami and Kiwami 2 for the first time, and I have an irresistible urge to replay 0 even though I just finished playing it like a month ago. It's just too good.

関西のドラゴン (KANSAI NO-RYU)

[@shrekconfirmed5456]

I played Yakuza 0 blind without playing any other games, and when Ryuji said his full name i went “yep this characters showing up in a later game” and i was right
