Infinite Wealth character intro - Tianyou Zhao

I think Mine is so interesting be his "villainess" is so deeply personal, his antagonistic role stems from his perceived loss of daigo, i think its cruel to think his actions meant he didnt care for daigo since daigo was only comatose. He clearly states that much of his concerns come from a fear of daigo becoming exploited, that keeping him in the state he is in would be undignified and disrespectful, that he would be willing to lead the Tojo clan not because daigo would want him to but because daigos very existence gave him some veiled sense of meaning and the Tojo clan would be his last remaining connection, a dream that daigo shared with him.

It's cool that mine claims to care little for others when hes so fond of both daigo and his adoptive father, that he doesnt know how to feel human (that daigo was the first to show him Ill), that he scraped and clawed his way out of poverty no thanks to anything or anyone but himself.

To me, Mines antagonistic role stems from his love, and lack there of. Which is different from other antagonists who seek power or wealth or respect. It's also something that isnt revealed until the very end, up until the rooftop confession kiryus under the impression that Mine is like everyone else, that he wants power, money. Instead, mine makes a confession of love and his destruction of the orphanage is extremely personal not just because he blames it for daigos state, but also because of his own self loathing.

Kiryus fights with the villains arent always a battle of strength, they arent just physical fights, its a battle of will. Kiryus strength is not just physical, its emotional. It's interesting that kiryus most exhausting fights (mine in yakuza 3 and ebina in yakuza IW) are also the ones that follow very emotional stories (have ur opinions on IW ebina but i think the game was really clear that ebina was more of an overarching theme/yakuza representation, and to me i thought it was rather nice)

Truly, sometimes in life you are given a gift. You didn’t know you wanted it. You didn’t know you could have it. But today I got to wake up to Pirate Majima and life is good.

I can finally indulge in yakuza content again after watching LaD 8 only to find the Yamai tag SEVERELY lacking!!!! I can't believe this. Where are the EDITS! where are the FANARTS! I know he was literally just introduced but COME ON PEOPLE GET WITH THE PROGRAM 👏
