@Choc Kiryu and where else did kiryu cry. I've never played Yakuza series but i am pretty sure this is the only instance where he cry and it would be a great help if you can tell me so that i can correct my understanding of masculinity. To me what men tear are the emotion that are just too much (wether it's happy or sad) that they couldn't hold it anymore. And they would cry with composure in front of people (to say that he's still in control of himself) rather than the disorderly mess that they do when he's by himself.

[@peppercat1887]

It's not just that this is Haruka. This goes all the way back to how Kiryu sacrificed everything to protect Nishiki. I bet everytime he looks as Haruka he also sees everything that transpired with Yumi. Haruka isn't just his daughter at heart, she is his life considering how this started. And in a way, Kiryu knows how Haruka should be his daughter that never came to be cause of his own Jailtime and the Jingu fiasco.

[@BAIGAMING]

Good points, the series really came so far.

[@angelusvastator1297]

Haruka also took on Yumi and Jingu's traits. For Yumi, she tried to hide from men who are after her child. For Jingu, she tried to hide a secret that the media threatened to expose, leading to a destructive chain effect.

[@CT63648]

Kiryu would remove himself from the picture if he thought it would protect those he cares about. Haruka did the same. In the end, she really was Kiryu's daughter.

[@Funnybones30]

One theory I have about the reunion with haruka is that it reminds him of nishki and that's why he drops it so fast. Last time he couldn't be there for for one, they'd changed for the worst and kiryu had to watch his best friend die. Then in this game, he hears haruka ran away and hears how she got in with a small Yakuza family and even had a child. Kiryu might've started worrying that history was repeating himself and it terrified him. But then he sees that's she hasn't changed and so he doesn't have to worry and I doesn't have to lose someone else. Just my theory.

[@holly9096]

Haruka ran off to prevent any more media backlash to come to the orphanage. Being young, she made decisions that lead to mistakes while out there in the world alone. However, we all know Haruka has always been mature for her age. Unlike most young people, she wasn't afraid to take responsibility. She dedicated her life to her child. She took on the role of "mother" and risked her life so her son could have a chance to live. Yuta, who is a few years older than her, was hesitant to face responsibility than her. Haruka is one of the strongest female characters in the Yakuza series. She was more in control of her life than Kazuma and it makes me sad so many people began hating her after this game.

[@BAIGAMING]

I agree with your points, I've seen this kind of thing happen in real life and I'm happy the game portrayed it realistically and maturely.

[@kingoflions827]

For me it's more I hate her choice in men like of all people she ends up having a kid with Yuta. Like Yuta is fine but not even close to being worth someone like Haruka. It also dosen't help that all of this feels like it came straight out of left field.

[@holly9096]

@@kingoflions827 *SUPER LONG COMMENT AHEAD. GO TO END FOR TL;DR.* I get what you mean. There were so many different directions the writers could have taken the plot of this game, but for what they actually gave us, I think it was executed well. To be honest, I think it's difficult to even imagine that a man "deserving" of Haruka who is her age could ever exist 😂 The amount of suffering, responsibility, and experiences in general that she had to go through since childhood could never match up with a decent, yakuza-unaffiliated guy's. Yuta shares a lot of the same pain Haruka went through as a kid - being thrown away by a biological parent, his mere existence being the center of a criminal conflict, etc... Really the only difference between Haruka and Yuta that I can think of is the fact that Yuta didn't have someone like Kiryu to guide him properly. I guess that's where his new life with Haruka and Haruto comes in. Haruka needs someone who can understand the things life has thrown at her. We already know from past games that she was incredibly lonely as a child simply due to growing up so quickly. The only person who could genuinely interact with her on a truly equal level was Kiryu. As far as I know, Yuta can also achieve that. I think I'd go as far as to say that Yuta's character is supposed to mirror Kiryu's in some select ways, as well. He's well on his way to becoming just as good of a man as Kiryu. *TL;DR:* I think Haruka and Yuta make a good match. Haruka has always needed someone who could truly understand her and the pain she's gone through. Yuta fits this bill quite nicely :P

[@kingoflions827]

@@holly9096 hmmm you bring up some interesting points that I never considered also yea I can't really imagine a 'fitting man' for Haruka either. My dislike for Yuta stems mostly from him being someone who is comparatively spineless and who shirks responsibility totally unlike Haruka but I guess it's unfair of me to think that way since he never had a strong parental figure like Haruka did. I guess there differences can compliment each other. Still kinda salty that she didn't end up with someone who can compare to Kiryu but matching up to the Dragon of Dojima is pretty much impossible

[@DanBrown0531]

I can never EVER hate Haruka. Haruka isn't just one of the strongest female characters in the Yakuza series, she's one of the strongest female characters in ALL of gaming........However, I still felt that her character could've been handled better in Yakuza 6. At the end of Yakuza 5, she realized that she wasn't going to be truly happy being an idol, and being with her family is what would make her happy. She stood on the biggest stage in Japan, and told the entire country how much she was proud to be the surrogate daughter of Kiryu, a former Yakuza. Yet, at the beginning of Yakuza 6, all it took was a few internet posts, and she immediately regretted coming home. That didn't make a lot of sense, because if she was worried about public image, she never would've did what she did at the Japan Dome. She would've just retired quietly after the concert. Also her leaving the kids in the middle of the night, as well as lying to Ayako saying that she was going to live near Kiryu was completely out of character for her. Not to mention, eventually severing all contact with them after being gone for a while. That's not the Haruka I know. Then she goes to Onomichi, meets Yuta, I guess eventually falls in love with him, and has Haruto. I say 'I guess' is because their relationship is never expounded upon throughout the game. They only show one scene with him beating the shit out of a paparazzi for stalking her, and that's it. There should've been A LOT more scenes with them together, showing their relationship progress. I'm not suggesting anything graphic, but at least show them showing affection with each other with hugging/kissing. Because they didn't do that, it just looks weird that Haruka would just randomly fall in love with someone, sleep with them unprotected, and have a child (which Yuta doesn't know about until much later). Once again, that seems very out of character for her, especially since she just came from the seedy underworld of being a pop idol. Then later on in the game when she reunites with Yuta and Haruto after waking up, you still don't see much affection from them. It doesn't come off as two people who love each other, and have a child together. Sorry if this comment was too long for some. After playing through all of the games in 2020, Yakuza is now my favorite gaming series, and I just love discussing about it with others. Like I said, I will never hate Haruka (and whoever does is completely clueless), but a lot of her actions in Yakuza 6 were just way out of character for her.

You can play Yakuza Kiwami and Kiwami 2 in place of Yakuza 1 and 2 because they're one-to-one remakes.

Kiryu: I won’t lecture you. Me: Well I am! You had sex at age 18/19, Kiryu is still a virgin. Do you know how humiliating that is for him? Second, you run away from home and don’t even stay in touch with the kids? They can’t find you! It’s a miracle they survived on their own. Lastly-Hey let me back in, she can’t get away with-. Kiryu: Who the hell was that?

Yeah this plot point made me so sad. Check out Infinite Wealth if you haven't already, you can see the continuation of this plotline in the ending of that game - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWjRpJSBr76on5I .

Deep down, Kiryu knows Haruka did nothing he wouldn't have done himself at that age--and that she has a good head on her shoulders and has learned what she should. It’s right that he didn't lecture her. He had nothing to add.
