[@jacobkosh]

For me, what makes this fight great and a standout in the series is that it's not just happening for plot or even character reasons. It's not about stopping the bad guy because he has the key to the bomb or whatever; it's not about revenge, it's not about rivalry or jealousy or who gets to wear a dragon tattoo. It's not even really about the Yakuza. it's a pure clash of values, Mine's cynical nihilism against Kiryu's unshakeable drive to do what's right. I've never loved Kiryu more than in this moment, where in the midst of beating the shit out of a guy he's still trying to save his soul.

[@drunkdrag0n]

More than anything the music reflects this as well. The guitar's frequent pitch-changes tell you it's exactly that; a clash of values.

Can I just take a moment to express my love for the character of Yoshitaka Mine? Unlike other Yakuza villains who are simply motivated by their lust for power(Nishiki, Tsuneo, Aizawa being the most notable ones), Mine wanted Tojo leadership just for the hell of it. He felt betrayed after the death of his foster father and devoted his life to earning money, only to end up hating it the most by the end as in his eyes, he deems money to be the only thing people appreciate him for. The only man he truly ever respected, Daigo, was the first person to treat him as an equal, and Daigo's comatose state made him feel so utterly broken that he ended up scheming to attain Tojo leadership feeling that despite its meaninglessness to him, it'd fill the void in his heart. And by the end, he has the best moment of redemption in the entire series, learning to finally trust others and choosing atone for his crimes while Daigo was comatose as the little bit of righteousness that bloomed within him during the final moments of his life. All in all, Mine's the best antagonist in the franchise, and no other future Yakuza villain will top him in my eyes.

[@Rare_R1]

Nishiki wanted to become someone who everybody looking up at him because he got betrayed and everyone looked down at him and they compare kiryu to him and alot of other things unlike other bullshit villains like ryuji who are villains because they are just VILLAINS Nishiki and Mine are the top best carcters in the series

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

Kiryu definitely considers Nishiki, Ryuji, and Mine to be his worthiest adversaries, if Essence of Remembrance is anything to go by.

[@maceyV]

The conclusion to this fight is so incredibly written. Kiryu's words weren't enough to get through to him so he had to use force. In losing, Mine realized that he really didn't have anyone that cared for him more than superficially. Yet when that phone rings, we know who's on the other end. It's the one person Mine, and the player, thinks is in his corner. Now that Kiryu's point has hit him, he resolves to emphasize to her that he cares about her, only for her to interrupt and prove his fixation on money even truer than you ever could've feared... Never before had I seen an antagonist's worldview and ideology crumble in such a way.

[@faceless-ghost]

imo yakuza 3 is the best game of the series

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

This game really deserves the Kiwami treatment. Imagine how good it could be with the smooth combat of newer games, better graphics and maybe a few extra flashbacks for Mine to show how he met Daigo and found purpose with him. Sure, he talks about it, but seeing it would have more impact, much like how Nishiki's backstory really improved 1.

[@TheBeastInBlack]

I would agree, but I don't want the DE Drago Style to taint this. To this day I'll never understand why RGG replaced Kiryus style with that boring one, but gave the REAL Dragon of Dojoma style to some schmuck in the coliseums.

Ryuji has more strength. But is probably the slowest villain in the series

[@RubyMVmistress]

Mine is Kiryu, if Kiryu never had Nishiki, Yumi and Kazama. They're pretty much the same, just different upbringings.

[@DANIELS-oc5my]

@@RubyMVmistress yeah true two sides of the same coin

Also consider the lore of Mine's Tattoo which is a Kirin. It is the only animal that can kill a dragon so it makes sense he gave Kiryu his toughest fight even to this day.

[@hana-chan420]

Mine was simply too based to be allowed to live. If he had remained in the picture, the Tojo would’ve actually thrived for once! Can’t have that in MY Yakuza series! Seriously though, what a cool final boss. Wish Mine had stuck around for longer, he could easily be up there along with Ryuji and Nishiki for most iconic villains if he’d just been part of a more memorable game.

[@darkmanure]

Mine being alive would have drastically changed the plot for Yakuza 4. HIs influence in gathering money for the Tojo was huge.

[@CXXIII123]

I just beat Yakuza 3 Remastered for the first time not even half an hour ago. I fucking loved it. This game is in 2nd place in my favorite Yakuza games, with 0 being first. The part that hit me the most in this game, was when Rikiya died. Tachibana's death in 0 made me sad as well, but Rikiya was on a whole other level, making me tear up. And Kiryu's breaking down didn't help either. This final boss battle was something to remember. Mine was a really good villain, and I lost all respect for him when he slapped Haruka, but when I finished this fight, I regained that all back. In other words, Yakuza 3 is not the weakest game in the series, it's actually one of the strongest, imo. Well, on to 4!

[@Gamerboy4450]

In my opinion Mine,Kuze,Majima, and Saejima are Kiryu's equal

[@Liberates]

Not Mine he admitted he lost. Majima always loses and Saejima is probably equal to Kiryu.

[@Mahsei]

As soon as I saw them clasp hands in the “let’s go bro” I was screaming: “LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO” Then Richardson just had to fuck it all up man… I was really hoping for Mine to live alongside Daigo, just like how I wanted Ryuji to become a sort of rival/ally to Kiryu for Omi. Of course though, they both had to die… they keep messing with me I swear.
