just a quick lyrics translation from the songs:

‘TIGER-SKULL’

Boom boom boom, dancing through the skies This unraveled future isn't dead yet Boom boom boom, dancing through the skies Give a hard kick, go up even higher! Everybody put your hands up Now flyin', and become the wings Listen to that rising beat in your chest once again!

‘GOLDEN-KOI’

Weakness made us can’t trust ourselves Let’s search for future of ours Brave shine If you need a hand to hold, then Stay the night On the darkest of my days, You save my life Far beyond the razor-edge of your blade There lies a prayer that will surpass.

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 👏

[majimasleftasscheek]

I clench my fists and scream about them

[nishitanis-left-nut]

yakuza 6. first and foremost, it didnt count the continues but i only died once. you know how on the way to that one boss fight we had to jump across platforms because there was the sea bellow? yea i walked off a platform cuz i wanted to see what would happen. i died is what happened.

THE KIDS AT THE ORPHANAGE NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN-

i usually add pictures of the stuff and scenes i talk about but i was too busy whipping tears off my face during the last chapter and i dont really feel like watching the cutscenes back any time soon cuz i dont wanna cry again, also sorry if i ramble more than usual

i thought the whole "kiryu is daigos mom" thing was just the fandom talking about them endearingly since to me they saw each other as brothers and unofficial kyodai, but that letter broke me. i think the only other times ive cried that hard during one of these games was probably when kiryu got stabbed in kiwami 2, and in 0 with nishiki and majima and then in kiwami with the majima saga and nishikis death (talking about nishikis death- was that ghost of him at new serena really necessary they had to render a whole ass shot of his corpse for that and all for what just to break my heart all over again?? monsters)

and this game hurts for so many reasons all at once that i dont even know how to talk about it?? kiryus such a tragic character and watching him grow older and throw everything away lose everything is a special type of hurt. his stubbornness and self sacrificing nature and belief that he doesnt deserve anything or worse that he ruins everything he touches DO YOU SEE WHY I CANT FIND HOW TO TALK ABOUT HIM-

haruka being just like him also hurts my soul, she had no reason to leave morning glory the same way kiryu had no real reason to fake his own death at the end but they still did. they care so much about the people in their lives that they would rather make themselves suffer than feel like an "inconvenience", even when the people theyre supposedly inconveniencing are screaming in their faces that they love them and would gladly help carry the weight of whatever their carrying ten times over

and yea kiryu DIDNT have any good reason to leave. thats still something that bothers me or maybe i missed something since, again, i was bawling my eyes out. hes not the only one who revealed the secret, nagumo and the others were right there with him hell he wasnt even the one to get the boat out of the water so why was he the only one threatened??? why did he suggest faking his own death (aside from a weak attempt to hold himself accountable for... existing)? like i get because of his influence they would want to make sure that him specifically keeps his mouth shut but????????

a part of me kind of feels like if Date wasnt such a push over and didnt have kiryu on a pedestal he mightve had a shot at talking him down from a lot of things through the games. he couldve put his foot down and threatened to tell everyone the truth or to arrest him or at the VERY least refuse to play along, he couldve punched some sense into him he couldve done anything else instead of just indulging him through the years

then again... kiryu is a man. let me kind of elaborate on that cuz im not sure what i mean myself. kiryu IS masculinity, hes everything any man with a good head on his shoulders should look up to (hell its affected me in my daily life too, in a positive way) but hes also very much the macho ideal in some ways, which is to say, you shouldnt actually want to BE like him. his stubbornness is part of that, not listening to reason because "he knows best" and refusing help left and right when he needs it the most (i still stand on that if he'd let Majima come down to okinawa with him the orphanage wouldnt have gotten destroyed and Rikiya probably wouldnt have died)

im assuming kiryu found out kiyomi wasnt really dead later on but that fight mustve fuked him up pretty bad and solidified it in his head that "he ruins everything" and doesnt deserve a chance at a normal life since sooner or later the tojo always come knocking at his door

i find him really relatable in these later games bc of a phew things honestly, and thats kind of helped me figure out some shit about myself. kiryu is someone who lives for the people in his life. him and majima are driven by love and loyalty, almost to their own undoing. their mental state and principles are so crucial to the games as a whole that i sometimes forget how dense the "crime drama" parts of the games actually are and how theyre supposed to be the main thing (as i saw someone mention here recently about yakuza 3: "someone put obligatory fighting in my dad simulator 3000")

this was more rambly and incoherent than usual, i really dont know how to go about talking about this game. I think playthrough-wise i had more fun with yakuza 5 but kiryus story kind of "ends" in this one. i know theres the kiryu gaiden and then infinite wealth but you get what i mean, this chapter of his life is over and hes never getting it back. i dont play a lot of games but the ones i have always seem to have a mostly "happy ending" so how yakuza 6 made me feel was definitely a welcomed first. kiryus such an amazing character and im real grateful to the studio for treating him and the franchise with respect honestly (although i have my own personal qualms about how the games have shifted over the years but its not things that "ruin" them for me by far so eh)

im excited to finally get to ichiban though, i knew i was gonna love him and so far yea i was right. ill most likely make a post about him when ive played a phew more hours. the silly.
