@@Not_Claptrap 2 months late but it seems as if they can block that specific punch heat action randomly. I had Hirose block the jumping heat action while he was stunned, which really annoyed me because he shouldn't be able to block it. I've also seen footage of bosses blocking the Extreme Heat Mode hold -> punch heat action, since it leads into the same heat action as the jumping punch one.

[@chrisossu2070]

It's somewhat bizarre that the second-to-last boss is the one with more than one health meter and not the final boss. You could say that Koshimizu is more of man than his boss is.

It's kind of funny, considering what we find out in the epilogue, this is probably the most unnecessary fight in the game, and has the most brutal ending in the cutscene, gotta wonder if Koshimizu was about to spill the beans before Kiryu beat his nose concave

Nah. If someya didn’t do that, iwami would’ve asked koshimizu to pop her then and there. And if he pulled the trigger iwami would’ve seen that it was a blank. Only after iwami and sugai left the room did koshimizu pull the trigger, since he didn’t have another choice. Someya’s sacrifice was sad yes, but also necessary considering iwami’s presence.

lol, nagumo is played by a japanese comedian named Miyasako, he got blackballed from entertainment in japan because they found out he took money from a yakuza group to appear at their dinner..

I think he was just trying to put on an act in front of Iwami and Sugai so they don't find out he spared Kiyomi But yeah I agree, taunting an already pissed off Kiryu with such a low blow is basically asking to get fucking killed. Nice one Koshimizu

[@liewskywalkker8569]

I think kiryu is very weak in yakuza 6 because kiryu has no tiger drop,dragon of dojima style,rush style,blawer style and beast style.It make him more difficult to fight enemy and his heat power ran out very quickly when he use heat move and it restore slowly.I glad they make it better in kiwami 2

[@AngelKnightZeo713]

"Dragon of Dojima" style has been Kiryu's main style ever since Yakuza 1 on the PS2 (Kiwami doesn't count in this case at all) while Brawler was Kiryu's confirmed style in Yakuza 0 since he was inexperienced as a Yakuza. Kiryu doesn't need those other styles since DoD is the culmination of all of Kiryu's fighting styles that he made into his own. Remember, the Dragon Engine was a new thing when Sega made Yakuza 6 so of course it would feel slowly & clunky.

[@chrisossu2070]

Devilleon deliberately went out of his way not to upgrade Kiryu's attack power. If he did, he would've been steamrolling through the bosses, which in turn would've made them much less exciting for us to watch because the risk is pretty much gone. Seriously, Extreme Heat mode is downright gamebreaking if upgraded diligently.

[@otakamerd1220]

Liew Skywalkker He does have the Tiger Drop, it’s an unlockable move once you hit Attack over 200. DoD is Kiryu’s signature style, all of his styles in 0 helped build his Dragon style, it’s to show his growth as you can see he got elements of each style and those of the ones he’s fought in the past. Also another reason why we didn’t get four styles like Kiwami is likely because it’s just been adapted for the new gameplay style and engine change- it’s not a bad thing - we didn’t need all those styles anyway - more focus on developing his one style that way Heat works differently here too, so it’s unfair to say “he’s weaker”. You can upgrade Attack Power and Heat Gauge Damage and recharge speed when landing hits in the game, Devileon didn’t upgrade any of the stats to make fights more exciting - otherwise they’d be over too quickly - remember that he prefers to show no cutscenes so battles would only be 3 mins long if he was fully upgraded. He is older but he’s hardly weak - he can rag doll enemies with one good hit now
