Yakuza Kiwami 2 - Boss Battles: 15 - Ryuji Goda (LEGEND)

That concludes the English run for Kiwami 2! I was maxed out by the time I got here, since I decided to fight since I fought three of the Amons before going for the finale, and I saved Jo as well as most of the remaining bouncer missions for Premium Adventure. I like how every time Kaoru tries to interfere, Kiryu and/or Ryuji press the big GTFO elevator button, LOL.

Yakuza imo has a big problem witb backloading its good stuff.

But I know that I always go away with the great moments in mind, it's just that...well...it's great, make no mistake. But only AFTER I finished it. And it's annoying.

Me and Ryuji both got some heat actions / QTE's on each other, and I activated extreme heat at the same time as Ryuji powered up, and we were both just beating the shit out of eachother, until the final QTE where we were both at critical health. Never felt a more satisfying final blow. Probably of of the most hype things I've done at 2AM.

Justfinished kiwami 2 for the first time today. After having just watched kiryu say goodbye to kaoru, and ryuji being so nice to his sister while he lets her go despite having only known about her for a few minutes, i felt sad. Enough to tear up, but I was alright. I was preparing myself for the epic battle theme that would surely go alongside the final fight between the two dragons. Instead what I got was a somber piano that perfectly fits the tone of the fight. At this moment, neither of them believed that they’d get out alive. They were fighting purely to settle their score now, and with an immense amount of respect for each other. As a result, when the song first started during the dynamic intro at 5:16, i felt a giant wave of emotion hit me. That piano made me experience all sadness of the previous scenes all at once, and a tear rolled down my cheek while I continued to fight. Genuinely one of, if not my absolute favorite moment in any video game.

[@charliemcmillan4561]

I love that elbow block followed by the dodge by Kiryu in the QTE, showing that meeting Ryuji's fist with an elbow block, which is a great counter to an uppercut, Kiryu would rather dodge the next punch than meet Ryuji's next punch. I like this detail because the way that Kiryu beats someone is rarely because he had better form, but that's the case for this fight

[@dndn-f2531]

Guys there is something you must understand about 'A scattered moment' the ost of this fight. Anyone who think the original was better, i can understand why, but it's not what they wanted to do( an upgrade) with this remake. They didn t want to upgrade song, they want to change the feeling behind (you how it's end but you have to do it) because in the remake, you know how exactly the fight will end, like kiryu said, 'this how it's has to be''. The original fits better in the orginal game because you thought our dragon kiryu was doomed, resigned and ready to die but for that, he needed to do ONE LAST THING, the settle is rivalary with Ryuji and this is why the instrument in this ost were minimalist. This is my opinion you are free to disagree I m sorry for my english is bad, i m french.

[@mrz3763]

Perso y a un truc que j'apprécie énormément avec ce combat, c'est que contrairement au vs shibusawa où c'était une vengeance principalement, ici les deux n'ont aucune vraie raison de se battre. Aucun sentiment négatif, aucune vengeance, juste un immense respect l'un envers l'autre. Ils sont à moitié morts, fatigués, ils perdent leur statut d'être humains et deviennent des bêtes sauvages. Ils deviennent des dragons. Cet affrontement c'est l'affrontement de deux dragons au statut divin qui s'affrontent simplement parce qu'ils ne peuvent fonctionner que comme ça. En mon humble avis ça dépasse de loin en profondeur le combat contre Shibusawa

[@mr.tomatohead3709]

5:39 absolutely amazing

[@combineadvisor572]

i love how Ryuji just wakes up and turns the other guy into spongebob

[@mr.heisenberg6517]

Japanese never failed to amaze me with their skill on storytelling.... 😭 Rest in peace Ryuji-san... You'll always be in our heart...

[@PillsHere69]

Ryuji: We're falling apart, we got no time left Kiryu: *has minimum 13 years left*

[@gazda9272]

This boss fight was so epic I purposely let myself die 3 times just so that I could finish off Ryuji in style. I even saved a video clip afterwards.

[@tomokisakurai3997]

I'm gonna watch it

[@lootrat1337]

God damn dude,that soundtrack really hits ya hard. Edit: played through and beat Kiwami 2 not that long ago,and god DAMN,what a banger game and final boss. I only recently got into the series but I already love these games,they're awesome.

[@mrlakiro5526]

...Dang... Pretty sad tbh, but that last fight.. Was amazing

[@ZorroLocoStudios]

Oh man, you beat him right before the second chorus kicked in, lol

[@icegodsavior8885]

You should watch the first one he did of this. The music synched perfectly with the fight

[@ZorroLocoStudios]

Oh yeah, that was really good. I liked the Heat Actions, too.

[@CasualDraws]

5:03 when bro says "you sister is kinda nice"

[@naotosan1031]

This Dynamic Intro Is Just PERFECT

[@DomPeriod]

Sayama being stuck right where she is - two of the men she loves are about to fight each other to the death and she is powerless to stop it. The pain in that must be immense.

[@atmorton0440]

"If I had a nickel for every time i've had to fight a power-hungry yakuza official gunning for total control who just so happens to also have a dragon on his back and says there can only be one dragon, i'd have two nickels. Which isn't alot but it's weird that its happened twice."

[@SuperBeautifulNoise]

My god this fight broke my heart, I'm in tears again. :'(

[@congpham2095]

I don't know how can you fit every single part of this epic fight with epic song perfectly like that. Final QTE fit perfectly with the best part of the song. I can just say, not many Yakuza's player can do the same thing like you. So, in many Boss fight video, I only love your video, not others. Your gameplay make this epic fight become legendary. Great work, bro !!! This video makes me cry alot, because I know when the song ends, we lost one true Dragon....... RIP Ryuji, one of the best and most respectful antagonist of Yakuza series.....

[@DRNGDGMR]

Best Yakuza boss. Just two men beating eachother off during a countdown in a tense and steamy fight with fantasy music in the background. What else appeals to the male fantasy than this?

[@marriedrex1942]

Final bosses: Yakuza 0 - Epic. I'm gonna end your war and fight for justice. Yakuza Kiwami - Heartbreaking, I don't want to do this. Yakuza Kiwami 2 - This is how it is to be...

[@dragonofdojima5205]

One of my best fights, RIP Ryuji Goda

[@fugutamasuoable]

He’s not dead..🙄

[@TheAvgCrusader]

Ryuji was no man... He was a man's man...

[@slyassassinxx4466]

A scattered moment starts playing *pulls out 20 katanas*

[@User-1887]

7:15 my boy just wanted a hug☹

[@Gopnikawa]

I respected the living shit out of Ryuji Goda. He wasn't some power-hungry master villain, all he cared about was fighting Kiryu fair and square over the Dragon title.

[@nguyenxuanha9315]

Ryuji Goda (A Scattered, Eternal Moment).

[@shtembyduelsson]

7:40 is one of the greatest ends to a fight that I've ever seen (even the timing with soundtrack is perfect)

[@reluxjewei1830]

龍司の「漢はのう馬鹿な位でちょうどええ！」最高に痺れる名言過ぎるだろ！

[@Toshineko]

I just love Ryuji Goda. He's a great counterpart to Kiryu.

[@pythios8982]

One of the best fights in the Yakuza series imo

[@ZetsubouNoNnoitra]

I forgot how awesome this fight is. Glad it came in my feed again!

[@tonyc.0451]

The general consensus is that the last fight with Ryuji Goda is a good one. I can see why. Here we have a muscle-bound Yakuza member who, like Kiryu, also has standards. Despite many hardships that he faced, he wanted to be number one fair and square. As an underdog myself, I respect that. The music also adds to the awesomeness and would more likely fit a hero than a villain thanks to the violin and the piano. I think that I said too much, but that's what happens when a boss fight gets emotional for so many reasons.

[@Mahsei]

I really enjoy how much more honorable Ryuji became towards the end. Kiryu was even willing to fight to the death since he deemed Ryuji as someone who was deserving of going all out against. I miss this guy. Ryuji and Kiryu in the same game as protagonists would make one hell of a game… (no not dead souls)

[@shadow_wesker6666]

This is probably my favorite final boss fight so far (currently finished 0, 1, 2, and halfway through 3.) and I just love it... the song... two dragons facing each other in an epic battle. I don’t know... feels like if it was father vs son. Teacher vs pupil. Or something. I loved Ryuji. I loved Yakuza Kiwami 2.

[@thetruegham6378]

For me literally finishing this last night as of writing this, this fight resonates with me in so many different tones. Kiryu is THE dragon, there is no second, there is no match. No matter how hard ryugi swung kiryu never even broke his demeanor. Kiryu is absolutely the dragon above all, everything rode on this fight for him, his home, his honor, the Tojo, everything. That’s why Kiryu won, because this fight was more than a title.

[@aidelai4098]

Man this fight was amazing

[@bowlofriskies6486]

The OST that plays when Ryuji sends the elevator down hits almost as hard as his boss fight theme.

[@shadow_wesker6666]

5:16 Me: *expecting some brutal crescendo of epic music* Game: *hits me with this gem* I absolutely love it... I don’t know why it fits so well. Just two men ready to die for pride... we don’t need super epic music distracting us from this hell of a fight. Yakuza Kiwami 2 might be my favorite Yakuza up to date... it deals with pride, and Ryuji said it himself; “a real man oughta be a little stupid.”

[@TotallyToonsTV]

That man never should have been able to shoot Ryugi as many time as he did when he had an entire magazine pumped into him

[@incons730]

we dont give that guy who stood standing after multiple shots and managed to hit ryuji twice enough credit

[@soulmasquerade]

I think that's the best Ryuji fight I ever seen. No weapons, perfect timing scenes and attacks

[@raymilbelmont2521]

Ryuji Goda turned into one of my favorite characters at the end... Damn I wish he didn’t die

[@AvatarofHermes]

That Kiryu sure is somethin

[@KingCapone704]

I remember playing this on ps2 damn those were the day’s

[@Diesalkeeng98]

There is something deep about you and your equal in possibly the peak of your physical skill ability and potential going at it in a 1v1 holding nothing back knowing theres only two ways this can go and both of them believe true within themselves its gonna go theirway as long as they left everyrhing they had out there and the respect and honor everyone knew from the beginning this will be a struggle to the end

[@ayushFos]

I love that get-up sync at 7:09

[@SimpaticoReal]

Of the 4 Yakuza games I've played, this might be the best boss fight/ending of them all. Everything about it is great. It's also kind of amazing to see Leon just wipe the floor with Ryuji on Legend.

[@Vegetto19]

I love it. This reminds me so much of Takamura vs Brian Hawk in Hajime no Ippo.

[@garrysucks4190]

Considering that Ryuji's fist doesn't break on Kiryu's Elbow, and that there's an Essence of Crushing: Wall, if Kiryu tried to pull that off on Ryuji, the wall will crack instead, referencing Hiroki Awano's wall punch in Y0.

[@amlannanda1581]

Whenever someone asks me the definition of a real man I refer him to 1:26
