Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - Boss Battles: 9 - Takumi Someya (LEGEND)

[@Gameboynitro]

" I won't hold anything back" *Drinks bottle of wine at the start of battle*

[@ES21007]

Gameboynitro 9 I mean, you can do that in Yakuza 0 as a perfectly viable strategy to cheese a boss. Maybe Someya wqs trying to do Drunken Carouser?

[@hayatosawamura4015]

The translation in English was somewhat different. What he really said was "I will be a little serious in this one".

If Kiryu’s going to not kill him, it might as well be his not final drink.

[@phihungnguyen118]

[@johannavori8698]

@@hayatosawamura4015 explains why he's saying he's going all out in his next fight

[@user-ew2sd7vl5m]

This has to be my favourite fight in the game, the start where their arms meet just before the clash is like the acknowledgement of a worthy opponent and I just think that’s so cool. It’s like with every other opponent Kiryu faced, even in all of the other games, he respected his opponent on some level. Joon Gi Han, Someya, patriarch Hirose, etc. The only one he genuinely despised was Iwami.

[@arjuna6224]

Reminds me of the shibusawa fight from yakuza 0

[@onekarodriguez3134]

I guess that's why Iwami was the final boss, because he was the only character in the game that he would genuinely would care if he killed him, unlike almost, if not everyone else he fought in the series, because with them, he would just try and leave them after, or other times, be there to witness them or someone else die.

[@mikeboo14channel68]

Thats how a real man fight

[@glazcanon8593]

3:12 I forget how proficient Kiryu is in basically street MMA. Then I remember he became a legit martial artist with the Komaki style (empty-hand, bo staff, & swordsmanship), kali sticks, tonfa (single-handed), nunchuck (single), knives, White Lotus kung fu, the Kawauchi style (aikido), and (Pro) wrestling, this dynamic intro reminds me of that. Also, I believe in terms of *MARTIAL TECHNIQUE* Kiryu hit his peak in Y3, could he/have learned more after 3? Yes, but if you go by gameplay alone then Kiryu peaked technique-wise in 3, (IMO, and no I don't count infinite wealth).

[@LThanhHao232]

Glaz Canon it not like he can learn anything more, he learn street fighting and street boxing back in 1989, Komeki martial arts( which is very heavy karate based) and various weapon discipline that he may need along the way Oh, and also Kungfu from the old lady

[@glazcanon8593]

Damon Cord I forgot about kung fu lady from yakuza 2 but I think Kiryu can still learn a few techniques from muay thai,TKD, or something else. Not saying your wrong, there's a chance he may not want to learn more styles, but keep in mind his heat actions suggets that he has knowledge of wrestling and some mastery of knives (referring to a knife heat action in Y3) which makes sense seeing as how he fights majima every yakuza game. By the way which game do you think Kiryu was strongest?

[@LThanhHao232]

Glaz Canon you are right of course,sometime I do forgot that he now how to wrestling, and in some game he do use some knee attack, making him knowing at least some muay thai, and while he didn't kick much, front kick is the most basic tkd attack

[@EthanBradburyVlogs]

He had way more impressive feats in later games.

[@lougeturner1095]

What's ironic is that kiryu did that too when he was younger.

[@nou4657]

I’m pretty sure he’s around 46 or 44

[@namethis658]

It's not really a life lecture, Someya does have a point in explaining his views on how things work now, instead of how they worked when Kiryu was an active chairman. Edit: Yep, even if for a day.

[@kevinhanandi]

@ayy imao kiryu and majima is not modeled and voiced by actor per se, kiryu is voiced by professional voice actor (voice actor not actor) takaya kuroda while majima also voiced by voice actor ugaki hidenari (the thing with ugaki I don't really know what his other works beside majima while kuroda is very well known) their model is just out of imagination of yakuza's game artist

[@Naruken29]

+Kevin Hanandi Majima isn't but Kiryu face is modeled after his voice actor Takaya Kuroda-san (starting from Yakuza 3), the same goes with most other characters (whose face modeled after their VA's too).

[@kennethshiro9500]

[@jackmclean4120]

I've realised I've also come to associate this song with the final fight in The Raid 2 because someone mixed it into the scene.

[@MaskOfLimbo]

Something that just came to mind. The actor who made SOmeya is the same one who made Genji from both Crow Zero movies. In the second movie, before the final battle, Genji drinks from a water bottle and here, before Someya fights Kiryu, he drinks from a wine bottle. I MIGHT be seeing to much here, but perhaps is some kind of reference?

[@Wrizzer123]

I think that is easter egg or something tho

Bloodstained Philosophy

[@LividLiquid81]

The combat system change between Yakuza 6 and 0/Kiwami seems pretty drastic. Which one's more fun to play with?

[@cobratradition]

I'd say the multi style choices are more fun to play since you have a greater variety of attacks and moves but this locked Dragon Komaki Style we have in 2 all the way through 6 feels really weighty and badass either way and all the possible moves you could need are tidied up in one huge style so I'd say the most fun are the multi style games but locked Dragon isn't bad either and it's hard to get tired of actually

[@mishima433]

Tbh I prefer the dragon engine type since the enemy always will bouncing and flying everywhere when we hit them so hard so it’s kinda hilarious att

Adding in my own two cents, I'd say that 0/kiwami is pretty much instantly fun, and 6/kiwami 2 grows on you. Like, at the beginning I didn't really like it, but in the end I had lots of fun and was actively looking for fights.
