it's just that ALL of their problems are because they trust each other too much. kiryu trusts majima with the tojo clan and with everyone that he's leaving behind SO MUCH that he feels like it's okay to leave. he can shrug off some of that suffocating weight and feel at peace knowing majima can and will handle it. and majima trusts kiryu with his metaphorical leash SO MUCH that he would literally do anything kiryu asked of him, including being miserable and resentful back in the clan he just escaped. and i love that a significant part of the resentment on majima's part is the resolve that of course he's going to do what kiryu asks, he'd do anything that kiryu asks, so why the fuck would he ask him to do THIS

and yakuza 3 spends so much time painstakingly establishing majima's misery and resentment at fulfilling his promise to kiryu, so you'd expect their reunion in chapter 7 to be nothing but antagonistic. and the beginning is, to an extent. you get the shape of a typical majima everywhere shenanigan but NONE of the tone, and it's incredibly unnerving until they get to the coliseum and fall right back into their usual paradigm. and majima is like okay when i stop being incandescently happy that kiryu is here THEN i can think about being mad at him. but he's never going to stop being happy that kiryu is around because he loves him too much. anyway

like man. in that last scene we see him in the game where kiryu is once again planning a suicide mission and majima is BEGGING him to accept the help before he gives up. it's crazy in there. kiryu trusts majima to essentially be his proxy (soooo insane when he asks him to take on the kazama family!!) and can't let him aid and abet his annual killing himself plan. and majima is a good and smart dog so he knows that kiryu is going to leave and keep leaving again and again

the pride and joy of my majima playlist is the restless heart syndrome -> snakeskin -> grace kelly -> oh no! -> clint eastwood run

all of y3 date is like well i know he's your. Um. "friend." but don't forget to have normal reactions, thoughts, and decisions when you interact with him seeing as he is an incredibly dangerous and unpredictable man. and kiryu is like no ❤️

experiencing some exciting brand new form of delirium

[ghastlycrew]

did u know they put him in the hole for a year

[ghastlycrew]

majima's quick resignation to kiryu's suicide mission is another extremely fucked up facet of their relationship. he tries to talk him out of it for a minute before giving up pretty quickly and date is RIGHT to be like are you fucking serious is that IT??? because date has actually clearly clued into the fact that there is something freaky going on between these two that means that majima probably could talk kiryu out of his evil little scheme. the fact that majima, familiar with kiryu's stubbornness but unaware of or unwilling to see the unique sway he has over kiryu, assumes that he isn't enough to change his mind, is extremely toxic and awesome

majima goro yakuza 3 every scene dot mp4

[ghastlycrew]

also the joy of jealous majima in y3. he's like who's that guy is he your new boy toy 🤨😠 and kiryu immediately like he's a FRIEND he's like a BROTHER to me in a FRIEND BROTHER way and majima is like oh ok in that case 😇 i'll help 💞

[ghastlycrew]

[ghastlycrew]

just remembered that one dilf interview girl asking kiryu how he spends his time and he immediately is like well usually i hang out with majima who is kinda mean and he's stalking me and it's a bit annoying but i kinda like it 😌 he's really like the only person who seems to even want me around and he helps me and makes me stronger 😊 and. the interviewer is like ummmm that's actually not what i asked .? 😬

[ghastlycrew]

hello, character. before you is your own facade, self-constructed to protect you from others' capabilities to perceive any potential vulnerable authenticities about your sense of selfhood. this facade has now become so irrevocably intertwined with said sense of selfhood that you can never return to the self you were initially protecting. tell me something true about yourself, or you will become the pantomime entirely. you have twelve minutes.
