All spoilers for Yakuza 0 will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Where it all starts...Yakuza (��如�, Ryū ga Gotoku, lit. Like a Dragon) is the first of the Like a Dragon series developed by SEGA and was released in December 2005 in Japan on the PlayStation 2, and in September for western regions the following year. The game follows the story of an ex-yakuza member named Kazuma Kiryu, who after spending 10 years in the joint for a crime he did not commit, is thrown back into the criminal underworld when 10 billion yen is stolen from the Tojo clan, the clan he once worked for. Along the way, Kiryu finds a young orphaned girl named Haruka, who is being targeted by the clan as she is believed to have the key that holds the secret to where the missing yen may have gone. With the entire Yakuza on your ass, with one of the head patriarchs being your former best friend from 10 years past, this is going to be one wild ride.As Kiryu, who is already feared in the underworld as the powerful "Dragon of Dojima", you explore the Tokyo entertainment and red-light district of Kamurocho (a recreation of the real life Kabukicho), come across a colorful cast of characters that include other Tojo clan members that range from serious minded to violently out of their minds, a down on his luck detective, the leader of the underground world of Kamurocho, assassins, underground cage fighters, lovable hobos, a ton of side-quest characters, many hostesses, and punks to beat down. Lots and lots of punks to beat down.The gameplay is that of a Beat 'em Up with an RPG-like leveling system, but in an open world setting (or more so open district) and fights that occur at random, similar to an Eastern RPG. When you encounter punks, thugs, and other yakuza, you enter into battle mode where you beat down everyone in your way with the use of chaining light and heavy attacks. The more attacks you chain, the more you will fill up your heat gauge, and with heat you can preform devastating damage to your foes accompanied by animations that really show the pain you're giving out.In Kamurocho, you can perform side quests that help gain you XP, chat with or listen to the citizens and enter small shops across the map to eat the food, buy some items, or just to check them out. There are also multiple side activities you can do; these include playing SEGA UFO Catchers, a batting cage, casinos (baccarat, blackjack and roulette), toba and pachislot.A game so massive and crazy at times, it was one of the first games to truly explore the culture of the Japanese underworld. With a well-done dark crime narrative and memorable characters, it left such a mark to pretty much everyone in Japan, and a considerable amount of people in the west, that it continues on to this day as one of the most well-known and highest grossing Sega franchises ever, with a new release almost coming yearly (spinoffs included). Strap in for a ride with no end in sight, welcome to Kamurocho!The game was given an Updated Re-release in 2012 in the form of an HD Compilation Rerelease which includes the sequel Yakuza 2, titled Ryū ga Gotoku 1&2 HD Edition for the PlayStation 3 and Wii U, which updated this game's combat using the improved mechanics in the second. Unfortunately, this compilation was only released in Japan. Although Yakuza in its original form has yet to be re-released in any other format, a very popular fan-made patch for the game, Yakuza Restored, offers a way of playing the game's English version with the Japanese dub and a more faithful translation alongside some minor graphical and presentation polish.In January 2016, to mark the ten year anniversary of the series, Ryū ga Gotoku Kiwami (Extreme), an enhanced remake using the engine and gameplay from Yakuza 0, was released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan. Kiwami not only features new updated graphics, new substories and mini-games from recent titles, but the story itself has also been slightly expanded to tie it closer together with 0, with an expanded prologue and new cutscenes that explore Akira Nishikiyama's Start of Darkness in Kiryu's absence. The game also introduces the new "Majima Everywhere" system featuring everyone's favorite Mad Dog, who can be fought at any given time in the game as he relentlessly stalks Kiryu and fights him to re-awaken his inner dragon. It was announced at the 2016 Playstation Experience that Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 6 would both be localized for the US and European markets, set to be released in Summer 2017 and early 2018 respectively and exclusively for the PlayStation 4. At E3 2018, Steam ports of Yakuza 0 and Kiwami would be announced, with Kiwami's releasing on February 19, 2019. | |

Anyone Can Die: Due to this being the first game in the series, there are many side characters who will kick the bucket here and there on your quest, and killing off characters was a bit easier here than to do it later in the series. Three of the most important and saddest deaths will have to go to Shintaro Kazama/Fuma, Akira Nishikiyama and Yumi. | |

All Men Are Perverts: Shinji's new characterization in the prologue has him completely obsessed with sex, which is Played for Laughs when Kiryu desperately needs money from him. Shinji is more than glad to give it to him, thinking Kiryu's going wild with the services of the red light district, when Kiryu's just trying to get Yumi's ring back. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: If you played Kiwami after Yakuza 0, then you'll realize that the game's story is much bleaker compared to 0. In Zero, Kamurocho was bustling with neon signs and bright lights, the Japanese economy was roaring, the characters met in side stories were mostly friendly and colorful, and despite the Mob War over the Empty Lot, the Yakuza controlled the city tightly enough that civilians could walk the streets without fear of petty criminals. By the time Kiwami rolls around, the bubble has burst, the Japanese economic depression has been in full swing for well over a decade, and Kamurocho has become a gloomy, green-tinted Vice City full of con artists and destitute vagrants. The street corners are piled high with trash, and ruffians mug civilians in what seems like every alley with the Reasonable Authority Figures of the Tojo Clan, Masaru Sera and Shintaro Kazama, too dead to keep the peace. | |

Subverted with Bartender Majima. Majima serves Kiryu several drinks; he claims that they're high-end liquor and acts scandalized when Kiryu implies that Majima is just messing with him, insisting that he's a "customer service professional." Refuse to pay and win the ensuing fight, and Majima calls the drinks he served Kiryu 'gutter piss' and 'hobo juice.' | |

Kiryu can overhear two people discussing a film titled "Passionate Manly Bathhouse Battle", said to be a martial arts film taking place in the Edo period, particularly a scene where two muscular men fight nude in a bathhouse, referencing a certain fight in Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! Kiryu can try to find the DVD at the adult video store, only to be Mistaken for Gay by Majima for it. | |

Mission-Pack Sequel | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_1a2dc1fd | comment |
Mission-Pack Sequel: The game recycles the same engine from Yakuza 0 to tell the story of the first game. Kiryu utilizes the same four fighting styles he had in that game, and certain mini-games such as Pocket Racing return. While some improvements were made, several features and mini-games from 0 do not return, there is only one city to explore and Kiryu is the only playable character. | |

Adaptation Expansion: Kiwami not only includes new features and mini-games introduced in recent titles, but the story itself is expanded, including several Call Backs to Yakuza 0 and a new segment where Kiryu gets Yumi a birthday present. New cutscenes between chapters focus on Nishiki, revealing the circumstances behind his Face–Heel Turn. A new game mechanic revolves entirely around Goro Majima, and his opening cutscene is expanded to reveal his rivalry with Kiryu was ignited over a disagreement of ideology. New dialogue has been added, new substories have been added, and many existing ones have been expanded upon. | |

Mythology Gag: The trophy you get for collecting the money from Peace Finance at the start of the game is named "When You Don't Pay Your Debts...", a reference to Kiryu's cheesy one-liner from the original English dub of the scene: "When you don't pay your debts, I'm what you get." The same line is given another nod in one of the late-game sidequests, with Kiryu repeating it to a Yakuza who hasn't paid his bar tab. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: Kiryu's estate acquisitions from 0 are gone. At least losing them can be explained by a variety of reasons. At the start of the game Kiryu is completely upgraded, alongside the Dragon of Dojima style that you'll use throughout chapter 1. However after he's released from prison after 10 years of not fighting he loses all the upgrades and his Dragon of Dojima style is rendered useless at first (no heat moves, pitiful amount of damage and two punches and kicks), forcing you to re-learn all the skills and the Dragon style (Via the Majima Everywhere system). | |

Artifact Title: For the western release. While the series does revolve around Japan's organized crime, you're in the yakuza for just the first 10 minutes at best. The Japanese title Like a Dragon makes more sense as it exemplifies not only this game's spirit, but also Kiryu's spirit. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: While it's played straight with most weapons, it's averted with weapons that have a heat special, since it only uses one point of durability for it. It also can't be blocked and can interrupt anything outside of hitstun, making it great for a finishing move. | |

Unsettling Gender-Reveal | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_2d409194 | comment |
Unsettling Gender-Reveal: In one substory, Kiryu goes out with a woman, only to realize that he was actually going out with a man in disguise. He then fights a short-haired yakuza, only to learn after the fight that the yakuza is actually a woman. A new stripper at Asia turns out to be a Dojima hitman in disguise. The gender reveal involves one death by shotgun, a kidnapping, and a fight in the middle of the club. | |

Hidden Depths: Upon following Kiryu into the Pocket Circuit Stadium, Majima is immediately enchanted by it, referring to it as 'some kinda wonderland,' despite having derided it as some dumb place for kids in 0. He even tells Kiryu he doesn't care about fighting him, wanting to learn more about the game. After being welcomed by Pocket Fighter, Majima genuinely gets hooked, and spends enough time playing that he develops into one of the most challenging opponents in the entire game. | |

Theme Music Power-Up | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_2f50c5bf | comment |
Theme Music Power-Up: In the Japanese version of the game during Shimano's second fight, instead of his Leitmotif "Pray Me" playing in the background like the first game, "Receive You [Reborn]" plays while the Kazama and Shimano families duke it out. The new song is omitted in English localization. In the last fight against Majima in the "Majima Everywhere" mode, instead of the usual music that's heard fighting against him, the original "Receive You - The Prototype" plays during the fight. It also plays when he's fought in certain Climax Battles. | |

The six hostesses from the original game do not return, with one hostess for each of the two cabaret clubs instead. However, both hostesses have three videos to unlock. | |

Just Eat Gilligan: A lot of Nishiki's issues with leadership could have been solved had he just been willing to beat up his unruly subordinates, something that most other crime bosses (including Majima) in the series do and considering the events of 0 something definitely not outside of Nishiki's ability. Appropriately, it's implied that killing Matsushige actually gave him both the will to do so as well as respect/fear from others. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Two of them in the first American release: Mark Hamill voices Goro Majima as an unstable, sadomasochistic gangster who laughs at pain — even his own and is more than willing to kill his own henchmen when they don't get with the program. In addition he's so determined to take down Kiryu himself that he'll stop anyone else who's trying to beat him to the punch. Unlike the Joker, Majima is at least a Noble Demon. Michael Rosenbaum plays Akira Nishikiyama, Kiryu's childhood friend who after the incident that sends Kiryu to prison turns into a cold, calculating Magnificent Bastard who will do almost anything it takes to gain leadership of the Tojo Clan. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Not surprisingly, Goro Majima, though his dialogue in the main story cutscenes hasn't changed aside from an expanded introductory scene where he tries to goad Kiryu into fighting him. In the original game, he killed one of his underlings in the batting cage with a bat, but in this game the underling survives the beating and actually participates in the proceeding fight (you'll recognize him because he's the only one without a bat). In the new "Majima Everywhere" system, he serves as Kiryu's Stealth Mentor who fights him to knock off the rust from his ten years in prison so he can survive on the dangerous streets of Kamurocho. They even team up for a fight later on. Unlike the original game, where he was strongly implied to be a Psycho for Hire, in Kiwami he comes off as more of a Punch-Clock Villain whose ruthless actions are a result of consummate professionalism rather than geniune malice. | |

Villainous Crush: The things Majima says to Kiryu are particularly filled with overt sexual innuendos this time around, even more than usual. For example, he promises Kiryu he'll "be on his ass 24/7", asks Kiryu to "heat him up because he's cold", tells him he won't tell other people he's into gay porn (Kiryu insists it's a martial arts flick), describes one fight as "getting a side-order of Kiryu-chan", and calls the traffic cone fight "totally consensual". | |

A Taste of Power: The game starts out with Kiryu having his health and heat maxed out with a (nearly) full moveset for all four styles, but most of it is gone after he leaves prison. The game decides to show this at the worst possible moment: a fight with a Mad Dog-style Majima scaled to endgame enemy strength, which can, and very likely will, end in a Curb-Stomp Battle. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Played with a touch of cruel, hilarious irony. The characters could have avoided all of this if Kiryu had just let Nishiki take the fall for murdering Dojima, but only because events had happened beyond what the characters thought would have happened. To elaborate: The game kicks off because Kiryu takes the responsibility for murdering Dojima even though Nishiki is the one who did it. Kiryu does this because Nishiki's sister is in the hospital and waiting to get surgery, wanting to make sure Nishiki is there for her and pay for her bills. Consequently, Kiryu is sent to jail for ten years while Nishiki becomes the head of a small family and is given a few thugs to start with. However, none of the men particularly respect him, especially Matsushige because he only sees Nishiki as a chump who got to where he is by boot-licking instead of accomplishments like Kiryu had. Furthermore in chapter 8, Shimano reveals that for all the "shame and dishonor" Kiryu had inflicted by murdering a Patriarch, it actually amplified his street cred which is really all one needs to further reputation in the criminal underworld. By the time Nishiki's had enough of the abuse and manipulations, he's gone insane and become a cold-hearted killer while Kiryu barely gets to know peace because of the Dojima incident. Because Kiryu never let Nishiki take the fall for what he did; it negated any of Nishiki's street cred which could have helped him maintain respect among his subordinates, but it also painted a bullseye on Kiryu's back by various street criminals and Yakuza who want to try to take him down. | |

Stance System | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_44e013e4 | comment |
Stance System: Kiryu utilizes the same ones he had in 0, and the Dragon of Dojima style is available from the beginning. Following his prison sentence, he can only upgrade the Dragon style by fighting against Majima and training with Komaki. The Essence of Kiwami Heat Action can only be performed in certain stances to counter bosses' Kiwami states. Majima also uses the stances he used in that game during his fights, including the Mad Dog style, but only sticks to one style for each fight (excluding his second story boss fight). | |

'unpopular' hostess who won't quit until 'she' gets a date with the Dragon of Dojima. Officer Majima, who will stop Kiryu and frisk him to ensure he isn't carrying any dangerous weapons. Subverted with Zombie Majima, where the disguise isn't paper-thin at all and Kiryu actually buys it.. right up until Majima starts doing the hustle. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: This is definitely a series that started in humble beginnings. The combat in this game is much more stiff than any other game in the series, you can only move your items in a safe house and a few item boxes scattered around the world. You also have less inventory space, less moves to pull off, and there's not too many wacky side activities. This mostly applied to the sequel as well, but started changing when the series hopped over to the PS3. Although the game isn't without its funny moments, for the most part it takes itself much more seriously compared to later entries. The more bizarre and humorous substories that balanced the mood would be introduced in the sequel, which also had a bit more fun with its plot, and it would only grow from there. Speaking of substories, some are only available during certain chapters in the story and can't be accessed once that point has been passed. Along with failing some, this also prevented others from ever appearing. While some sequels are also guilty of this, this was changed in later games so that substories were always available and could be completed at the player's leisure. The Western version of this game actually has an English dub featuring Hollywood actors, but low sales following a costly localization process put the kibosh on that. The series wouldn't get another English dub until Yakuza: Like a Dragon, 14 years later. This is also the only game in the series to portray Goro Majima as a straight-up villain. Due to his popularity, he underwent a complete Heel–Face Turn in the sequel, has undergone a lot of Character Development, and has since become one of Kiryu's most trusted allies and the series' Anti-Hero. In the Japanese version, the character titles that would appear when they were introduced were displayed using right-to-left calligraphy. All future games go with left-to-right instead. Before any sort of combat sequence, a loading screen with the text displaying the enemy type/current objective/Boss Subtitles would pop up before fading into a slow-panning introductory cinematic of Kiryu's current predicament and then proceeding to gameplay. From the sequel onwards, the aforementioned text always appears during some sort of introductory cinematic instead of on the loading screen. This game and its sequel opt to have its OP theme song be a soundtrack composition ("Receive You" for 1 and "As a Man, As a Brother" for 2). Starting with 3, the series instead opted to bring in popular music artists to either licence or compose an opening and ending theme for each game. This game is the only one in the series that uses pre-rendered cutscenes for many story moments. Yakuza 2 managed to do everything in-engine, which has stuck. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Shimano cuts the fingers of his underling for losing to Kiryu and getting shot by Shinji as punishment. What makes this punishment especially disproportionate is that Shimano cuts off two fingers, instead of just a pinky finger. | |

Mistaken for Gay: Played for Laughs. If Kiryu goes to the DVD store and tries renting the 'martial arts' film "Passionate Manly Bathhouse Battle", Majima gets the worst possible idea and thinks he's discovered a new side of Kiryu. It's one of the few instances that Kiryu instigates the fight instead just so the Mad Dog doesn't go around spreading false rumors about him. | |

Central Theme | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Running away from your problems and refusing to face them head on, which is also highlighted in the lyrics of the game's theme song, "Receive You". Many of the main characters, including Kiryu, make choices in an attempt to avoid running into things they don't want to face, but over the course of ten years, it comes back to bite them in ways they couldn't even imagine. For Kiryu, it was taking the blame for a crime Nishiki had committed, and realizes after his prison sentence that he should have just let life take its course. For Nishiki, he's convinced that killing his way to the top and getting the ten billion yen will solve all of his problems and will allow him to get everything he's always wanted. | |

In one of the new substories, Haruka meets a young girl who wants to buy a present for a boy she likes. Haruka offers to help her, only to task Kiryu with finding the right present since she doesn't know what boys like. One of the presents he can buy is a magazine from a certain vending machine that fans of Yakuza 0 will be familiar with. Haruka knows exactly what kind of magazine it is and pretty much gives Kiryu a Death Glare if he even considers it, and is pretty disgusted with him if he purchases it right in front of her. Subverted if the magazine is given as a gift, causing the boy to start acting more mature, and Haruka isn't as upset about it. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: In the original game, Goro Majima suffered a serious injury after his first boss fight, leaving his fate ambiguous until he suddenly appeared in his second and last boss fight with his wound visibly bandaged. Here, he can still appear on the map right after his first boss fight as if nothing happened. In an effort to avert this prior to his second boss fight in the main story, Majima catches wind of former Dojima Family members following Kiryu and warns him about it, and lures him out of town so they can take them on together. However, Majima is shot and falls into the sea, setting up his re-appearance in Shangri-La. | |

Permanently Missable Content: In "The Price of an D/F-Cup" substory, Kiryu needs to refuse the money from the bartender in order to learn the location and password of a hidden underground casino. If done incorrectly, not only does it prevent the casino from ever being available, but because some substories take place inside of it, it's no longer possible to complete all substories and face Jo Amon. Certain substories can only be done in the chapter they first appear in and cannot be accessed afterward. Thought you'd wait until later to go see Yuya's girl dance? New save game! Thankfully this was changed in later titles. | |

Dub Induced Plothole: In chapter 7, Nishiki orders sake from Reina but receives a whiskey. While he did order "sake" in the Japanese script, the word can be used in Japanese for any alcoholic drink, and in this context using "sake" in the English script doesn't make sense. Japanese rice wine specifically is Nihonshu, by the way. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The Public Park 3 MesuKing card is a minor one. To get it you have to walk right up to the tree, press R3, and look at it. It's a simple problem but the only other times you do this are at the funeral in Chapter 3 to look at the pictures and to get a different MesuKing card in Purgatory. If you don't unlock the Essence of Extreme Rush ability in the skill tree, prepare to suffer during the fight against Shimano in chapter 3. Shimano is a Marathon Boss who occasionally stops and rapidly regenerates health (your first introduction to the Kiwami mechanic in an actual boss fight), and you are supposed to use Essence of Extreme Rush to counter that, but the tutorial on Kiwami attacks took place during A Taste of Power, so you might not realize the reason why you can't interrupt the boss's regeneration. Chapter 3 also happens to be a Plot Tunnel, so you can't just go back and fight mooks until you can get the skill. Getting the "Dragons's Slow Burn 1" skill node unlocked will have you tearing your hair out if you don't look up a guide. The condition for unlocking it is to get a "Don't Forget Majima" fight (Majima interupts a fight) and Majima has to be using his Mad Dog of Shimano style. The game never tells you that they style that Majima uses is dictated by location, so you wouldn't know to go to the alley where the entrance to Mach Bowl is located to make an NPC spawn that will lead to the Mad Dog interrupt fight. Even then, there's a chance you'll get Slugger Majima instead. | |

Healing Boss | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_77824082 | comment |
Healing Boss: Some bosses will suddenly stop and start rapidly regenerate health over time, while an aura glows around them. This is your time to use your "Essence of Extreme Brawler/Rush/Beast/Dragon" Heat Action to prematurely cancel it. One of the things that makes Shimano in Chapter 3 a tough boss is most players will not have all the Extreme Heat Actions unlocked by then, so his fight lasts a lot longer than it's supposed to. This also makes Majima's Mad Dog style extremely aggravating, since Essence of Extreme Dragon (which you need to cancel his healing in this style) is literally the second-to-last move you unlock in Dragon of Dojima... which means it's locked behind several Mad Dog fights. | |

Arms Dealer: There's one hidden behind a Bookcase Passage in the backstore of Beam video rental. To get access to it, Kiryu has to ask the store clerk for a specific porn titlenote "Tied-Up Housewives — Lust for Ropes," if you're curious. Simplified to "Housewives in a Bind" in Kiwami.. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_8409a385 | comment |
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Majima Everywhere. Although he can be found roaming the streets, he can also launch a surprise attack from just about anywhere at any time. Worse, he can also be found in just about any place you step into, including convenience stores, bars and gambling parlors. When the game says you'd better be ready for Majima at any moment, it's not kidding. Although there are certain times he won't be on the prowl, it's wise not to get too comfortable. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_8411ab92 | comment |
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Akira Nishikiyama is Hot-Blooded and has what it takes to be on top whilst Kazuma Kiryu is stoical and acknowledgeable. Kiryu's other rival and close ally Goro Majima. Shinji Tanaka is also the blue to Nishikiyama's red, since he is soft-spoken, strategic and kind enough to help. Sohei Dojima's associate Futoshi Shimano is known for having a short fuse, too scary to work with if you fail him and heavily obsessed with killing Kiryu for the death of Dojima and Shintarou Kazama is known for being wise, soft-spoken, friendly with other chairmen and businesses he comes to terms with and is a great father to Kiryu. Haruka Sawamura is the only supporting character who carries the purple oni code; she acts as the blue oni during the storyline majorly and switches to being red whenever she wants to go have some fun, e.g. buy her gifts. Her parents, Yumi Sawamura and Kyohei Jingu, are the blue and red to her purple. Yumi is caring, knows what is right and wrong and protective of her own daughter whilst Kyohei is greedy, dominant and has a tendency to endanger his own relatives. | |

Artificial Stupidity: The cage matches in the Coliseum can be hilariously easy if you can goad your enemies into destroying the cage and win by a Ring Out, since many of them never stop attacking once they begin their combo. It's entirely possible for a high-level opponent to start the fight by charging at you, fly past you as you move aside, damage the cage enough to break it and fall right out, all in a single attack. | |

It's later revealed he's also using Kiryu as a bar to make himself stronger as well. | |

Foreshadowing: One for much later games in the series. At one point, Majima takes a woman hostage, and taunts her by asking her to "be [his] bitch". When she tells him she has a boyfriend, in a highly uncharacteristic move for Majima, he compliments her for her honesty and lets her go. 5 and 0 would reveal Majima has a reason to like honest women. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Some of the remixed songs are taken from other entries in the series. The fight against Lau Ka Long is a remix of his song from Yakuza 3, "Ogre Has Returned", and Jo Amon gets another remix of his recent Leitmotif, the appropriately-titled "Lunatic Warrior". Music from Dead Souls is played when Kiryu suddenly encounters a zombified Majima and has to fight other zombies to escape him. The trophy you earn after this event is even called "Majima of the End". After some of Majima's battles, he'll sometimes mention someone who rivals Kiryu's strength, and that Kiryu's ten year sentence is nothing compared to his. Kiryu can overhear two people discussing a film titled "Passionate Manly Bathhouse Battle", said to be a martial arts film taking place in the Edo period, particularly a scene where two muscular men fight nude in a bathhouse, referencing a certain fight in Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! Kiryu can try to find the DVD at the adult video store, only to be Mistaken for Gay by Majima for it. Just like how the katana style that Fei Hu teaches Majima is the exact same style that Majima uses in Ishin! as Souji Okita, the katana style that Komaki teaches Kiryu in this game is the exact same single-sword style that Kiryu uses in Ishin! as Ryouma Sakamoto. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: Two, actually. First, a replica of Majima's Demonfire Dagger, which you get by completing Majima Everywhere. It has a pathetic base 30 power, but it's unbreakable. Considering knives tear through anyone guarding without holding a weapon, it's a convenient way to get through fights without your opponent turtling. Second, there's the Golden Pistol obtained by getting all the combat-related CP rewards. While its power is at a low base 50, it has no range issues (being a gun and all) and never runs out of ammo. Since a gunshot incapacitates any mook it hits and causes bleed damage, it makes fights against large groups of enemies less troublesome. | |

In Zero, Kamurocho was bustling with neon signs and bright lights, the Japanese economy was roaring, the characters met in side stories were mostly friendly and colorful, and despite the Mob War over the Empty Lot, the Yakuza controlled the city tightly enough that civilians could walk the streets without fear of petty criminals. By the time Kiwami rolls around, the bubble has burst, the Japanese economic depression has been in full swing for well over a decade, and Kamurocho has become a gloomy, green-tinted Vice City full of con artists and destitute vagrants. The street corners are piled high with trash, and ruffians mug civilians in what seems like every alley with the Reasonable Authority Figures of the Tojo Clan, Masaru Sera and Shintaro Kazama, too dead to keep the peace. | |

Avenging the Villain: Discussed. Majima texts Kiryu a message once he catches wind of Shimano's death, assuring him it won't create problems between them, saying the man fought his own battles and killing Kiryu wouldn't accomplish anything. However, that also doesn't mean Majima's willing to lay off from fighting Kiryu anytime soon. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: There are several ways to straight up ignore the rules in the pool minigame and do whatever you want. Considering your opponents never do this, it gives you a huge advantage over them. | |

Epic Fail | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: In "The Man Who Wants to Die" substory, if Kiryu tells the man to jump, he'll actually do it. Instead of hitting the concrete, he'll get caught on the nearby support structure, and Akimoto will start whining why the world won't let him die. Kiwami takes it further, where he lands in a tree that shouldn't even be there! Granted, it's more believable and looks less painful. | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_b4fae672 | comment |
Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: A mixture between this and Hopeless Boss Fight. The first time Kiryu returns to Kamurocho, he's thrown into a fight with Majima with all of his previous stats down to the base minimum. It's infamous for being extremely difficult to win as Majima fights in his dangerous, signature Mad-Dog style with health and damage values closer to the end of the game. While it's possible to win, (and you'll gain 100 XP to spend), the end of it shows that even with all that struggle, Kiryu's reduced abilities is really nowhere near good enough to truly beat Majima, as Majima is still standing tall and hardly fazed whereas Kiryu is completely winded just from trying to fight Majima. | |

Moveset Clone | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_b5439b51 | comment |
Moveset Clone: Many of the bosses in the game have their moveset taken from previous characters in the series, often combined with another. Goro Majima: All of his four movesets have returned: Thug, Breaker, Slugger, and Legend Futoshi Shimano: Mr. Shakedown when unarmed, Taiga Saejima when armed with a katana. Hiroshi Hayashi: Shigeki Baba as well as being able to use Beast style moves. Gary Buster Holmes: Masato Aizawa. B-King Leader: Tatsuo Shinada. Considering Yakuza 4, it might serve as a Call-Forward. Shota: Kamon Kanai with a knife. Akai Brothers: The elder Akai uses Majima's Breaker style. Jo Amon's moveset is identical to what it was in Yakuza 0, utilizing both Legend styles, although he no longer swaps out your items. | |

Blood Knight | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_b7c53a22 | comment |
Blood Knight: Shinohara. Now that he's retired after fighting most of his life, he feels something is missing in it and yearns for something that really excites him. He signs up for a tournament the moment Kiryu introduces him to the coliseum, and still isn't satisfied after taking out three opponents with ease. Believing Kiryu is the only one who can give him the fight he craves, he challenges him, and continues to stick around the coliseum in hopes to train and fight him again. | |

Sad Battle Music: "For Who's Sake?" from the original and Kiwami, is very melodramatic for a Final Boss song. It plays when Kazuma Kiryu faces Akira Nishikiyama, setting the tone for the fight. It hits especially hard for those who played Yakuza 0 as well. | |

Lost in Character | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_be81113b | comment |
Lost in Character: When Majima puts on a costume to screw with Kiryu, he'll play the role to the hilt. Goromi has a fully-fledged hostess conversation, complete with a bar showing how impressed "she" is. Officer Majima will only fight Kiryu if he's equipped with a weapon or something else dangerous at the time. If he isn't, Majima will begrudgingly let him go without a fight. Zombie Majima is as vocally limited as you would expect. Everyone's Idol Goro is first seen tearing up the dance floor in Deborah, and his fights with Kiryu are framed as being Breaker Battles, similar to the ones Majima learned his Breaker Style through seventeen years ago. Subverted with Bartender Majima. Majima serves Kiryu several drinks; he claims that they're high-end liquor and acts scandalized when Kiryu implies that Majima is just messing with him, insisting that he's a "customer service professional." Refuse to pay and win the ensuing fight, and Majima calls the drinks he served Kiryu 'gutter piss' and 'hobo juice.' | |

Unwanted Rescue: Done twice in the new substory featuring Shinichi Shinohara. Kiryu comes across a man harassing a woman about money, and his intervention leads to a fight. However, the girl yells at Kiryu for beating up her boyfriend, making him realize they're a couple arguing about money and apologizes. The boyfriend accuses the girl of cheating on him and pulls a knife on Kiryu, only to get tackled by the retired Judo Champion, garnering this reaction from Kiryu. The girl even slaps Shinohara when he thinks he's saved the day. | |

Car Fu: Everyone's favorite Psycho for Hire Goro Majima literally crashes the party at the Shangri-La soapland with a truck. Futoshi Shimano has this move for Kiryu on his second battle where, as the former grabs the latter, one of his subordinates will start up a car and proceed to pummel Kiryu, taking away most of his health if the player does not bash the triangle button enough times. This mechanic returns in Kiwami. | |

One of the adult films Kiryu can ask for at Beam is "Midnight Channel 4". The penultimate chapter of the story is also titled "Honor and Humanity". Among the upgrades one can exchange CP for are "Gotta Go Fast" and "Altered Beast (1988)" | |

At the end of her substory, she almost gives up on women and asks Kiryu to go out with her, but he refuses, telling her to stay true to herself but also to stop categorizing people and appreciate them for who they are. And while she and Kiryu agree to be Just Friends, she still goes to a hotel with him to have an intimate moment of sorts, wanting him to be happy and trusts him enough to know he won't try anything with her. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Several changes to Majima soften his characterization and the over all tone of the original game, where his only 3 appearances were near the beginning, middle, and end. The guy he beats up at the start of the game downplays the beating and says he's perfectly fine and that Majima does that sort of thing all the time; he no longer kills his subordinate for refusing to laugh in the middle of the gamenote though the scene is entirely unchanged - he's simply left alive and somehow still able to fight after the fact, and the Majima Everywhere System encounters are far more silly than they are anything else, which has the ripple effect of making the whole game lighter than the original. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: In one of the new substories, Haruka meets a young girl who wants to buy a present for a boy she likes. Haruka offers to help her, only to task Kiryu with finding the right present since she doesn't know what boys like. One of the presents he can buy is a magazine from a certain vending machine that fans of Yakuza 0 will be familiar with. Haruka knows exactly what kind of magazine it is and pretty much gives Kiryu a Death Glare if he even considers it, and is pretty disgusted with him if he purchases it right in front of her. Subverted if the magazine is given as a gift, causing the boy to start acting more mature, and Haruka isn't as upset about it. If Majima is encountered inside the Pocket Racing Stadium, Kiryu absolutely refuses to let the sacred ground and great name of Pocket Racing be sullied by the Mad Dog's presence and tries kicking him out, despite Majima's actual interest in it. Pocket Circuit Fighter, not knowing any better, tells both men to behave and scolds Kazuma-kun for his unusually unfriendly behavior towards the newcomer Goro-kun. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: It's now possible to save anywhere in the game through the pause menu, when previously you could only save in hideouts or phone booths. You still need a phone booth to access the item box, however. In the original game, the hidden casino could only be accessed it certain choices were made in "The Price of an D/F-Cup" substory, and was very easy to miss. Here, Kiryu is also given the location and password in the second "Yakuza's Apprentice" substory. The hitman in "My Lover is a Showgirl" was a rather difficult enemy that could only be faced early in the original game. In Kiwami, his health is reduced drastically. In 0, switching to and from Kiryu's "Dragon of Dojima" style requires going into the pause menu. Here, it's switched to on-the-fly with the d-pad like his 3 other fighting styles. As it now takes the place of the d-pad function to draw/holster an equipped weapon, this is now done by tapping the d-pad direction of the style that's currently in use. Premium Adventure saves can now be used for a New Game Plus on any difficulty, including Legend / Ex-Hard. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In the "Under Suspicion" substory, one of the women Kiryu can approach isn't someone he considers very attractive, and hesitates to give her the password ("You're very sexy"). If he does and shows her the 1,000 yen for the item he needs, she'll think he's offering her a measly 1,000 yen for sex, but considering this is Kiryu we're talking about, she gladly accepts. Kiryu immediately hauls ass with a look of shock and absolute horror on his face. In Shinohara's substory, after the whole incident with the couple is cleared up with a cop, Shinohara tries to make things right by allowing the battered boyfriend to use any grapple or hold he likes on the former judo champ. Getting into a fighting stance, Shinohara tells him not to hold back. Horrified, the boyfriend and his girlfriend run off screaming. | |

Arc Welding: Being released right after Yakuza 0, the game makes numerous Callbacks to the prequel and attempts to tie some of its events with the original game's storyline. For instance, when Jo Amon introduces himself, Kiryu can recall facing a similar man from 17 years before. | |

Celebrity Cameo | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_dcc35bb | comment |
Celebrity Cameo: Famed retired judoka champion Shinichi Shinohara is featured in one of the game's new substories, who comes to Kiryu's aid in a Big Damn Heroes moment gone completely wrong. Kiryu then takes him around town, and after introducing him to the Underground Coliseum, the two duke it out in a friendly battle. After that, Shinohara can show up as a recurring opponent in high-level tournaments. AV actresses Yui Hatano and Rina Rukawa appear as the hostesses for Club Jewel and Club Shine respectively. Players can unlock a video recording of each girl upon completing their substories, and can unlock two more after fulfilling certain requirements after taking them out. Ryota Sakai and Hirokazu Kinno from the Japanese comedic duo "Onigoe Tomahawk" appear as the bald and suited goons, respectively, during the fight with Majima in the batting cages. | |

Before any sort of combat sequence, a loading screen with the text displaying the enemy type/current objective/Boss Subtitles would pop up before fading into a slow-panning introductory cinematic of Kiryu's current predicament and then proceeding to gameplay. From the sequel onwards, the aforementioned text always appears during some sort of introductory cinematic instead of on the loading screen. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: Two characters, Shintaro Kazama was changed to Shintaro Fuma, and Hanaya (which translates to "Florist") became Kage, although both were reverted to their original names in Kiwami. Many names are also shortened. "The Price of an F-Cup" substory is named "The Price of a D-Cup" in the English release due to the differences in Japanese and North American cup size measurements (What the Japanese consider an F-Cup would be classed as a D-Cup in North America, thus the name change). The F-Cup name is retained in Kiwami. | |

Call-Forward: One of Rina's conversations has her complaining about Kamurocho becoming crowded during Christmas time, with Kiryu expressing a desire to move far away where it's not so crowded: On a beach in Okinawa. In response to Kiryu's history in real estate, "Goromi" tells him that it's simply taking what someone else built, and wants to create a building that puts the Millennium Tower to shame. After beating him in Club Asia, Majima brings up (but doesn't namedrop) Saejima, saying that Kiryu's ten years in prison is nothing compared to "him". After learning the Komaki Tiger Drop, Kiryu wonders if the move would be capable of punching out an actual tiger. | |

Nerf | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: Some weapons returning from 0 have been given major nerfs. The Slime/Zap/Smoke guns all have their direct hit damage reduced to a mere 5. This was to ensure that they remain the situational weapons that they are, because these shotguns were often used, aside from disabling masses of mooks at once via slipping/shock/explosive impact, to outright dump-truck bosses and other tough enemies (eg.Mr. Shakedown) with their obscene damage output when scoring direct hits with the projectiles they fired. The Golden Pistol had its per-shot damage reduced from 350 to 50. To put this in perspective, this gun does less damage than even the Modified Model Gun (60) and is equal to the Antique Gun (50), a percussion cap revolver from the 19th century. At least it has infinite ammo. The Dragon of Dojima fighting style suffers a major one, becoming the weakest fighting style following Kiryu's sentence. Unlike the other styles, it can only be upgraded through Majima Everywhere events and Komaki's training, and certain events are locked out until certain chapters in the story are reached. Despite it being Kiryu's default style for much of the series, it's practically unusable for most of the game. | |

Game Within a Game: New to the series is "MesuKing: Bug Battle Beauties", a collectible card-based arcade game featuring scantily-clad insect women who fight for dominance of the forest. It's popular with the kids and Kiryu will have to find MesuKing cards throughout Kamurocho to create the ultimate deck. While the concept is based on Sega's Mushiking: The King of Beetles arcade game, the actual game plays similarly to the underground catfight mini-game from the previous game. | |

If Kiryu talks him down, Mizuki arrives and talks Akimoto out of it, only to convince him to buy her a diamond ring for a Christmas present and take her on a date, which the fool agrees to.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Subverted in "The Man Who Wants to Die" substory. Kiryu can either try to convince the man not to jump off the building, or can be a jerk and tell the man to just jump already. If Akimoto jumps, the nearby support structure will break his fall and he survives anyway. In Kiwami, even though Kiryu can still tell Akimoto to jump, he does it thinking the man wouldn't jump anyway, only to realize just how wrong he is. | |

Tamura later reveals himself in Purgatory, explaining that he faked his death in order to work under the Florist.

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: The "Suspicious Man" substory returns as "Under Suspicion", where Kiryu is tasked with finding the right woman and giving her a password for an item. Before, he could compliment their looks and flatter them, or make them mad by calling them ugly. If he's mean to them this time around, they'll retaliate with a slap that inflicts damage. And depending on the woman, he'll either lose a little bit of health, or most of his life bar. | |

Accidental Murder | |
| Yakuza (Video Game) / int_fd497706 | comment |
Played with in one sub-story. Two muggers try to rob a man in a suit who turns out to be a successful hitman sent to kill Kiryu. Ultimately averted since the muggers accidentally kill him before he can do anything. | |

Skyward Scream: Kiryu lets one out after seeing Reina's corpse. It's shot differently from most examples, though; instead of the camera looking down at Kiryu's face, it's on the ground pointing up. The Kiwami trophy/achievement for finishing the chapter is fittingly called "The Dragon Roars". | |

Villainous Crossdresser: In Yuya's side mission where Yuya invites Kiryu to see a strip dance at Asia, the next dance is literally going to be a blast for Kiryu. | |
