I fucking ADORE the QTE in this fight. It's perfectly reflective of Kiryu's character arc in Infinite Wealth; Yes, he CAN fight on his own, but he will not win anymore if he tries to do so. He NEEDS his friends, and this fight shows that they're not just there to remind him to take it easy and have all those difficult conversations he's been avoiding all those years, but that he will actually get killed if he doesn't allow himself to be helped. On top of that, Majima seems very excited at the prospect of finally defeating his affectionate rival after getting tiger dropped for all these years.
"Look Kiryu-chan, I know it's been a while since we last fought and you're temrinally ill...but I'm gonna try and shank you just like old times. No hard feelings?" Seriously though, you get the impression that Majima is really enjoying himself here. That insane laugh he lets out before he goes at Kiryu again on his knees, like he suddenly realises just how good a fight against a suitable opponent is.
This arc was long overdue. Kiryu has had this eternal lone wolf syndrome, and time and time again it's put himself and those he cares about in mortal peril, or has even turned them against him, in the case of Nishiki. Who knows, maybe the whole series would've turned out WAY different if back in '88 Kiryu had accepted Nishiki's help right from the start.
@@Brunosky_IncThat thought was at the back of my mind throughout Infinite Wealth. There's no way Nishiki's inferiority complex would have driven him as far down as it did if Kiryu leaned on him as an equal.

@@prithyachan333 It was probably their driver pretending to check in on them. Or anyone else disguised as a worker. All they needed was a 5-second window where no one's looking.
@@joogthefat979 all jokes aside daigo should be a lil weaker than majima, but still strong enough to hold his own. I personally believed that he holds back even facing shinada
@@KazunariNazuna i think kiryu is probably at the same level or a lil above of daigo due to the cancer now, but yeah before that he's still the same level as saejima
The moment Kiryu starts to feel weak and Daigo and co. just go for him, only for them to be stopped by the new generation; Zhao intercepting Majima's knife, Seonhee parrying Saejima, Namba blocking Daigo and Saeko helping Kiryu was so good, man. Get friends like the Ijincho party because they are the real ones. On the other note seeing the Tojo Legends so weakened thanks for their aging and rusting of their abilities, and in Kiryu's case thanks to his illness, hurts a lot, but at the same time seeing how strong the party is right now makes me have hope.
Moment would've been a lot more epic for me if the gang weren't dressed in their job alts. Kind of loses its luster when Kiryu has an oxygen tank, Namba is a football player, Zhao is a chef and Seonhee was a tennis player.
the dedicated dragon's resurgence fight the trio has (along with their themes) makes this one of the hypest boss fights in the rgg series. not to mention this track is absolutely insane!
@@SteelBallRun1890 I meant someone in-game quoting your comment as part of the villains plans to make anyone connected to the Yakuza look worse. I could have phrased it better.
I love that they went with a waltz for this song. First of all, it means a 3/4 time signature, very fitting for the three boss triangle. But it also makes it feel like Kiryu's dancing with these guys for one last time.
I think that's one of the biggest signs that Yakuza 3 was meant to be Kiryu's final game, him and Majima basically resolve everything between them at that point and there's nothing new the writers can really do with the 2 of them. The nishikiyama family is resolved, the kazama family is gone, Lau Ka Long is put to rest as an antagonist etc. Y3 is basically wrapping up each of Kiryu's plotlines from Y1. Next couple of games start trying to find different roles for Majima.
@@MikeHesk742 Every yakuza game was written as kiryu's last game, though. There really ain't nothing to prove since it's fact. Gotta remember that even back then, they were pulling new factions and events out of nowhere.
Honestly this theme gave a sense of desperation, sorrow and putting a knot on an everlong journey. It blends sadness along with something grand without leaning too far into one category. Just going balls out... One final time
Think this fight have easily the most insane moment in a turn based RPG. You can use Earthbound as a whole, The 25th Ward, Undertale, all Final Fantasy games, No More Heroes 3, fuck even Persona 5 Royal as a example of doing similar stuff but I think none reachs the force of the moment when you have to break the special one of the guys are doing. Majima, Saejima and Daigo all have the same skillset as Kiryu. They chave the classics movesets, new stuff, can punch when is not their turn, etc. They are way to much to the party to handle but Kiryu even with his weaknesses can put a equal fight when he gets some of the heat back. Its more than 18 years since you know half of these character's and is the last fight with them but now in a turn based rpg until you break that and see all the memorys of those times while both fight in real time combat with the old music back. Is insane, is video game as a way to storytelling, as a way to do art and is cool as fuck. I just screamed the whole time, is insane. The fight seems to not have much emotion behind but Kiryu just speels for you what you are missing of information. They have fear to try again while Kiryu near death only gets more motivation to get shit done. They have a strong bond and the only way to say goodbye and to Kiryu says his last message to them is fighting. You dont need to fear to try again to do the right thing, the whole series is about trying to do what you think is right even when the whole world is against. Is just strong as hell and I can't even build a normal commentary about the fight for now. Way to much hype and thoughts in my head about this fight. Only thing I can say is probably my favorite turn based moment alongside Tokio fighting his own suicidal thoughts in 25 Wards and one of my favorite boss fights in general. Is insane, Ryosuke Horii is a genius when he wants to be
I don't know why, but seeing Seonhee put up a fight against Saejima makes sense to me, probably because she's a master assassin and knows what buttons to push
If you wanna get technical, she was the only one not running defense (Zhao was tryna deflect Majima, Nanba was blocking with his umbrella) so much as just trying to pressure the shit out of him enough to back up.

Seein’ Nanba block Daigo with his umbrella raised my opinion of his physical fighting capabilities by a good margin. That was pretty awesome. Then again, I could say the same about the parries Zhao and Seonhee did as well.
Not only is Kiryu's party skilled, but it also shows how the Tojo Clan Legends have slowly eroded over time from lack of conflict + age. Make no mistake: they are still potent, but Saeko, Zhao, Seonhee, Nanba would've little to no chance against them if they were in their prime. Especially if Daigo had a gun.
"A big battle with Majima, Saejima, and Daigo. What do we compose for this?" "You ever play Kingdom Hearts?" "Say no more!" Yeah, I'm getting big Shimomura vibes from this.
Zhao seonhee nanba and saeko just proved to me that they're the best squad you can ever have. The moment they said fuck it and went head on against some of the world legendary and strongest people with no fear to protect kiryu was just amazing. Such a powerful scene.
Copy from my past comment here: Impregnable (Adj): (of a fortified position) Unable to be captured or broken into. This shown that no matter how much they have been through, their ideal will never change, and since this song play for Daigo, Majima and Saejima, they formed a triangle that can't be moved. Pro? Show that their Belief in Unwavering. Con? Well, if you just change or misread the title, the meaning this track will be little weird to you guys. Conclusion? Don't misread the title. . . . . . . . Also damn you Majima, always found a way to jumpscare me. Even out side the boundary of the game.
this fight felt like a sorrowful sendoff to these characters with one last grand clash between series staples and the relatively new characters. They don't want to willingly fight anymore; they are content with fishing but since kiryu kicked the hornets nest they need to defend their dignity. This song and by proxy this fight contrasts nicely with the one from the last game being this bombastic energy filled decimation of everything the enemies in the game had to endure. Sure, you are fighting beat-em-up characters in an RPG, but you are a beat-em-up character which levels the playing field.
This fight was easily one of the best, if not the absolute best fight in the game. It was an amazing way to show to Daigo, Saejima and Majima that the new legends will be okay taking their places and that they can truly rest.
I remember seeing something about this fight in a trailer somewhere and I knew right away that it was gonna be a challenge. Definitely one of the best fights in the game, hell maybe it is *THE* best. And it was definitely a challenge too, it took me a lot of effort to prevent ANYONE on my team from going down. Also can we talk about how they were fully prepared to murder their friend who has cancer just because he insulted them?
I thinks it's because, yes they feel insulted, but maybe because if Kiryu is going to die, they though it's 100 times better that Kiryu dies by their hands and not by something like cancer
Bro I don’t think they would ever out right kill him, this was just like other fights were they fight to settle things, not to terribly harm, do u think majima was gonna kill kiryu in kiwami?
Even with Kazuma dying, even with these 3 being so out of it. Its impressive and almost comforting how strong the others have gotten and its just enough to use it for someone they call their friend.
I discovered the Yakuza license 2-3 years ago, starting with the magnificent Yakuza 0 and continuing until today. What an epic, what a magnificent game, Yakuza 8 makes me nostalgic when we come back to Kamurocho, which has changed a lot since the beginning, and this fight against Tojo's legendary trio of yakuzas (just magnificent) my top video game license. Yakuza will always be in my heart ❤️
Even though the game told me 50 times that there'd be a fight coming, I was still so shaken by those three names is one boss fight. This fight was so cool, and I love how much character Daigo had in his scenes. They really did all of the Tojo boys well here.
With how close the pair were, I"ve really gotta wonder what Majima would've done if Kiryu was too weak or slow to stop his dagger lunge. How wpuld he have reacted to killung his second brother?
Best fight in the entire game hands down. Ost slaps and seeing kiryu have one last duel with the Tojo legends was epic. Couldn’t help but feel emotional when the brawler section kicked in during daigo’s turn with for face playing in the background. Really reminded me that I had been playing these games trying to catch up since 2020 and it’s been quite the journey
you can really tell just how much the trio is holding back, and even then kiryu has to give it his all bc of how weakened he’s become this theme is so sad - majima and saejima haven’t seen their close friend in years and haven’t gotten a true chance to be happy with him again, and the last real interaction with kiryu daigo had was him proudly calling him his son, even though the trio are angered this theme shows just how sad they are to fight kiryu
I disagree that they're holding back. They're ALL getting on in age. Kiryu is still very strong, he just has those moments where his lungs give out and he needs to rely on the others. This fight, to me, felt like we saw how the Ijincho gang had grown in strength since 7, being able to match the old legends, regardless of the fact that they're getting old. This is a passing-the-torch game, after all.
@@auhs6240 if they had a little bit Motivations, The Party wouldn't even survive at all, Majima, Saejima and Daigo was still Monsters on their own but they were also humans, they have emotions and the fact Tatara destroyed their reputations, it makes them have some kind "Mental Breakdown" Basically and weakened them, but in The Final Long Battle with them again before facing Ebina, they regain their motivations and thus they were back to their original Strength, And doubt Age is something matters here, Komaki and Joji were the example, The older you are, more stronger you are+ Gained a lot of Experiences helps a lot, The Tojo Legends (including Kiryu) still leagues above Ichi's party+Ichi itself and it's a fact and no hate, i agree about The Passing Torch game, but about The Party being strong against the Tojo Legends it's because The Tojo legends already had no motivations here and thus making them weaker, The Tojo Legends at the end when they regained Their Strength is already stronger than the party again, not including Kiryu for this one since he still had cancer... And also Kiryu is getting weakened because of The Cancer, not because of His Age, i'm sure after The Chemotherapy ended, Kiryu would be back to his original strength again and be strong af again, even though right now is an RPG gameplay... Still he Carried the gameplay hard lol 😆
Keep in mind that Majima only has the attack buff in the past because his power alone is not that high. Here, he does not need it, because his attack damage is buffed.
This has the triumphant strings to it - fitting for a grand reunion and battle with 3 Tojo legends - but the rest of it is just downcast and melancholy. Having had their reputations ruined and afraid of inadvertantly being used to glamorise the Yakuza lifestyle, they're all hiding out in this crappy fishing hut in the arse end of nowhere, seemingly content to just fade away. But Kiryu - who has little time left - is the only one who has the motivation to do something about Ebina's schemes, so he ultimately insults the other three and goads them into a battle in his own way of giving them the need to get out of their funk and do something. Also, the title of the track could easily refer to the three legends we're fighting, but it refers to Kiryu's friends too: when he starts to lose steam and falls to his knees, Nanba, Seonhee and Zhao take up a defensive triangle position around him until he finds his feet again: they are literally the Impregnable Triangle in that moment. But the whole fight is awesome, especially with the Dragon Resurgance moments for when each of them is nearly beaten, to have some one-on-one time with them in the midst of old memories while their old soundtracks play. Also, you have to imagine Majima was having LOADS of fun here. Probably the first battle he'd had in four years.
I may not know that much about music theory, but I noticed that in parts of this song, it repeats itself three times, for each side of the "triangle". Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but either way, it makes me love the song so much more.
The Like A Dragons series perfected the trope of introducing new characters to carry the torch of their predecessors. This right here is how you make a new cast of characters that are worthy to stand alongside their predecessors with their own merits. I'm excited to see how this new generation moves forward.
When I first heard this track I didn't like it at all because of how different it was from the rest of the soundtrack, but after revisiting it again and again I was able to get the hang of it and it automatically became one of my TOP of best songs of this game
Man, do people not know bangers when they hear it the first time? So many times I hear people say "I didn't like it at first" or "It took a few listens" and my ass is hype the first listen.
Music is subjective, as you say you heard this song for the first time and you automatically liked it, I listened to it several times because it didn't convince me until I got the taste and now I love it. For my part I can tell you that tracks like: "Kooky", "Slugfest", "Barracuda", "Twin Machetes" and practically the great majority of songs I loved instantly, but for example I can tell you that I don't like "Tyrant of Ocean" (and I gave it several chances but it doesn't convince me, I prefer much more the fan version made by the "Mercury" channel). Because like anything else, these are personal tastes
@@myers9493he still keeps up with them during qte while having cancer. If he didnt loose stamina there he could keep it up. But ye Saejima with support>Kiryu
Kiryu is a beast and but even in his prime he is draw with Saejima, now imagine Majima, Daigo and Saejima fighting only Kiryu, nah Kiryu is losing that fighting
Saejima = kiryu and majima stalemated saejima so we can say the three of them are roughly equal and daigo's a bit weaker but still stronger than most characters so yeah them three against kiryu he ain't winning
To be fair trying to choreograph a 5 v 3 where everyone takes a cool pose against each other for a dynamic intro sounds like hastle and it wouldn't help that 3 names would inevitably cover up the screen.
I actually prefer that the intro is subdued. It feels like a needed juxtaposition to the rest of the game compared to lively Honolulu, where shit gets real, real fast.
Fighting The Three Tojo Legends is basically Fighting Equivalent of Sephiroth from FF7 They were scary af and makes you feel on edge... Especially they were always Holding Back mostly
The truck driver must have been feeling himself. Yeah, he released the footage of the legends in the shed, but he probably recorded the whole fight for his own pleasure.
Is there anything better than this song in all of yakuzas game? This 😂as the first game I ever play and I think this is one of the best video game songs ever. Also what yakuza games do you guys recommend?
Such great theme. BTW RC no brodai. Do you know the song that plays before they start fighting. The one where Daigo gets mad at his dad and Majima throws his tanto in between em.
can you post the themes that play in the final brawler parts of this fight with each fighter? i really love the for faith remix and i cant find it anywhere

I thought it was ebina's
Seein’ Nanba block Daigo with his umbrella raised my opinion of his physical fighting capabilities by a good margin. That was pretty awesome. Then again, I could say the same about the parries Zhao and Seonhee did as well.
Not only is Kiryu's party skilled, but it also shows how the Tojo Clan Legends have slowly eroded over time from lack of conflict + age.
Make no mistake: they are still potent, but Saeko, Zhao, Seonhee, Nanba would've little to no chance against them if they were in their prime.
Especially if Daigo had a gun.
I don't know what this song is talking about this triangle is incredibly pregnable
"A big battle with Majima, Saejima, and Daigo. What do we compose for this?" "You ever play Kingdom Hearts?" "Say no more!"
Yeah, I'm getting big Shimomura vibes from this.
Super appropiate with this fight having the big friendship moment of the party jumping in to defend Kiryu
Zhao seonhee nanba and saeko just proved to me that they're the best squad you can ever have. The moment they said fuck it and went head on against some of the world legendary and strongest people with no fear to protect kiryu was just amazing. Such a powerful scene.
To be fair, Nanba, Saeko and Zhao have already fought 2/3rds of the people there. It's more of a rematch for Majima and Saejima.
Man this ost is good, also i love how its sounds original and not just another receive you remix, really gives this fight a different feels.
Copy from my past comment here:
Impregnable (Adj): (of a fortified position) Unable to be captured or broken into. This shown that no matter how much they have been through, their ideal will never change, and since this song play for Daigo, Majima and Saejima, they formed a triangle that can't be moved.
Pro? Show that their Belief in Unwavering.
Con? Well, if you just change or misread the title, the meaning this track will be little weird to you guys.
Conclusion? Don't misread the title.

This shit goes fucking hard. This fight was absolute peak
As someone who wasn't really a fan of Zhao during the events of 7, I popped off when he defended Kiryu and deflected Majima's attack.
I love how in this series everyone knows how to kick your ass
Kiryu and Majima haven't fought since 3....
And now, this fight, is their final one.
fuck youre right
this fight felt like a sorrowful sendoff to these characters with one last grand clash between series staples and the relatively new characters. They don't want to willingly fight anymore; they are content with fishing but since kiryu kicked the hornets nest they need to defend their dignity. This song and by proxy this fight contrasts nicely with the one from the last game being this bombastic energy filled decimation of everything the enemies in the game had to endure. Sure, you are fighting beat-em-up characters in an RPG, but you are a beat-em-up character which levels the playing field.
This fight was easily one of the best, if not the absolute best fight in the game. It was an amazing way to show to Daigo, Saejima and Majima that the new legends will be okay taking their places and that they can truly rest.
I remember seeing something about this fight in a trailer somewhere and I knew right away that it was gonna be a challenge. Definitely one of the best fights in the game, hell maybe it is *THE* best. And it was definitely a challenge too, it took me a lot of effort to prevent ANYONE on my team from going down.
Also can we talk about how they were fully prepared to murder their friend who has cancer just because he insulted them?
I thinks it's because, yes they feel insulted, but maybe because if Kiryu is going to die, they though it's 100 times better that Kiryu dies by their hands and not by something like cancer
@@patatayt1919 Yeah, that makes sense.
Bro I don’t think they would ever out right kill him, this was just like other fights were they fight to settle things, not to terribly harm, do u think majima was gonna kill kiryu in kiwami?
Even with Kazuma dying, even with these 3 being so out of it. Its impressive and almost comforting how strong the others have gotten and its just enough to use it for someone they call their friend.
I was on cloud nine when this music started holy shit dude
I said it once, I'll say it again: The old men of Yakuza have the best theme songs!
I discovered the Yakuza license 2-3 years ago, starting with the magnificent Yakuza 0 and continuing until today. What an epic, what a magnificent game, Yakuza 8 makes me nostalgic when we come back to Kamurocho, which has changed a lot since the beginning, and this fight against Tojo's legendary trio of yakuzas (just magnificent) my top video game license.
Yakuza will always be in my heart ❤️
When I heard this it went straight on Spotify
the name/title drop of this fight was PEAK; no amount of warning could've relayed how bad I had to get ready for it HOLY SHI-
Even though the game told me 50 times that there'd be a fight coming, I was still so shaken by those three names is one boss fight. This fight was so cool, and I love how much character Daigo had in his scenes. They really did all of the Tojo boys well here.
Time to reignite the fire of Fudo Myoo, reawaken the Hannya’s love for fighting and make the Tiger roar once more.
0:07 to 0:22 Battle for the Dream callback 🥲
With how close the pair were, I"ve really gotta wonder what Majima would've done if Kiryu was too weak or slow to stop his dagger lunge. How wpuld he have reacted to killung his second brother?
Best fight in the entire game hands down. Ost slaps and seeing kiryu have one last duel with the Tojo legends was epic. Couldn’t help but feel emotional when the brawler section kicked in during daigo’s turn with for face playing in the background. Really reminded me that I had been playing these games trying to catch up since 2020 and it’s been quite the journey
Not listening to the musics or watching the videos was worth it, i loved this fight, i am almost finishing the game
you can really tell just how much the trio is holding back, and even then kiryu has to give it his all bc of how weakened he’s become
this theme is so sad - majima and saejima haven’t seen their close friend in years and haven’t gotten a true chance to be happy with him again, and the last real interaction with kiryu daigo had was him proudly calling him his son, even though the trio are angered this theme shows just how sad they are to fight kiryu
I disagree that they're holding back. They're ALL getting on in age. Kiryu is still very strong, he just has those moments where his lungs give out and he needs to rely on the others.
This fight, to me, felt like we saw how the Ijincho gang had grown in strength since 7, being able to match the old legends, regardless of the fact that they're getting old. This is a passing-the-torch game, after all.
@@auhs6240 if they had a little bit Motivations, The Party wouldn't even survive at all, Majima, Saejima and Daigo was still Monsters on their own but they were also humans, they have emotions and the fact Tatara destroyed their reputations, it makes them have some kind "Mental Breakdown" Basically and weakened them, but in The Final Long Battle with them again before facing Ebina, they regain their motivations and thus they were back to their original Strength, And doubt Age is something matters here, Komaki and Joji were the example, The older you are, more stronger you are+ Gained a lot of Experiences helps a lot, The Tojo Legends (including Kiryu) still leagues above Ichi's party+Ichi itself and it's a fact and no hate, i agree about The Passing Torch game, but about The Party being strong against the Tojo Legends it's because The Tojo legends already had no motivations here and thus making them weaker, The Tojo Legends at the end when they regained Their Strength is already stronger than the party again, not including Kiryu for this one since he still had cancer...
And also Kiryu is getting weakened because of The Cancer, not because of His Age, i'm sure after The Chemotherapy ended, Kiryu would be back to his original strength again and be strong af again, even though right now is an RPG gameplay... Still he Carried the gameplay hard lol 😆
This gives off "its the guy from the lore!" Vibes
This and the end of denial are literally peak
The amount of respect the party gives to kiryu, especially when shielding him is what the dragon deserves 🙌
Impregnable triangle? Just give me a few hours...
Their bussies will start dripping…
By the time I’m done, all the Jimas will be expecting….
Yeah imagine my horror when I realised yakuza like a dragon’s majima boss was the easy version
Keep in mind that Majima only has the attack buff in the past because his power alone is not that high.
Here, he does not need it, because his attack damage is buffed.
2:17 sounds exactly like the seprentine belt on my car slipping thanks for gaslighting me rgg
This theme is up there with all the legendary OST's
Definition of Cinema
Pure kino
This has the triumphant strings to it - fitting for a grand reunion and battle with 3 Tojo legends - but the rest of it is just downcast and melancholy. Having had their reputations ruined and afraid of inadvertantly being used to glamorise the Yakuza lifestyle, they're all hiding out in this crappy fishing hut in the arse end of nowhere, seemingly content to just fade away. But Kiryu - who has little time left - is the only one who has the motivation to do something about Ebina's schemes, so he ultimately insults the other three and goads them into a battle in his own way of giving them the need to get out of their funk and do something.
Also, the title of the track could easily refer to the three legends we're fighting, but it refers to Kiryu's friends too: when he starts to lose steam and falls to his knees, Nanba, Seonhee and Zhao take up a defensive triangle position around him until he finds his feet again: they are literally the Impregnable Triangle in that moment.
But the whole fight is awesome, especially with the Dragon Resurgance moments for when each of them is nearly beaten, to have some one-on-one time with them in the midst of old memories while their old soundtracks play.
Also, you have to imagine Majima was having LOADS of fun here. Probably the first battle he'd had in four years.
Saejima looks so lean in this fight. Like he lost a ton of muscle.
When the squad started defending Kiryu in that action sequence😮💨
Anyone else love how 1:06 to 1:18 has a very criminal feel to it?
We're catching all the fish in the sea with this one.
I may not know that much about music theory, but I noticed that in parts of this song, it repeats itself three times, for each side of the "triangle". Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but either way, it makes me love the song so much more.
Nanba wanted ALL that smoke
The Like A Dragons series perfected the trope of introducing new characters to carry the torch of their predecessors. This right here is how you make a new cast of characters that are worthy to stand alongside their predecessors with their own merits. I'm excited to see how this new generation moves forward.
Still stuck on this fuckin fight, Wouldn’t be a yakuza rpg without me getting stuck on a fight that involves majima
This might be the best track in the whole game
Best y8 ost
When I first heard this track I didn't like it at all because of how different it was from the rest of the soundtrack, but after revisiting it again and again I was able to get the hang of it and it automatically became one of my TOP of best songs of this game
Man, do people not know bangers when they hear it the first time? So many times I hear people say "I didn't like it at first" or "It took a few listens" and my ass is hype the first listen.
Music is subjective, as you say you heard this song for the first time and you automatically liked it, I listened to it several times because it didn't convince me until I got the taste and now I love it. For my part I can tell you that tracks like: "Kooky", "Slugfest", "Barracuda", "Twin Machetes" and practically the great majority of songs I loved instantly, but for example I can tell you that I don't like "Tyrant of Ocean" (and I gave it several chances but it doesn't convince me, I prefer much more the fan version made by the "Mercury" channel). Because like anything else, these are personal tastes
This fight really blows the pants off the Majima & Saejima fight from 7 IMO. That fight was good but this one felt so much more epic.
SUCH AN AMAZING ONE :0
FIGHTING AGAINST 3 YAKUZA LEGENDS AHHH >_< 🐉❤️
GOOSEBUMPS. ❤️🔥
"Impregnable"? We'll see about that, gimme 5 minutes alone with Daigo and he's getting a new chairman.
FOUL 😭😭 (you're not wrong tho)
Daigo is one of the most submissive and breedable members of the tojo (next to higashi)

MORAU DE!
OUURRRAAAAAAA!
Seonhee was so badass in my game fighting in a black maid outfit.
I wonder how hard this fight would have been for Kiryu in his prime if they were all going all out.
remember previously whenever kiryu and saejima fought it was a draw, with majima and daigos help i would say kiryu wouldve lost
@@myers9493he still keeps up with them during qte while having cancer. If he didnt loose stamina there he could keep it up. But ye Saejima with support>Kiryu
Kiryu is a beast and but even in his prime he is draw with Saejima, now
imagine Majima, Daigo and Saejima fighting only Kiryu, nah Kiryu is losing that fighting
Balls Out, KEEDOOOOO!
Saejima = kiryu and majima stalemated saejima so we can say the three of them are roughly equal and daigo's a bit weaker but still stronger than most characters so yeah them three against kiryu he ain't winning
3:16 M A J I M A
Imagine diago’s anger at the fact he got blocked by a homeless guy and his umbrella
Diego 😭
Diago 😭
I love on how Kiryu Throwdown using Resurgences
Easily the best fight and theme in the whole series.
Nice stuff
I beat them on Sunday and here it is, Thursday, and I'm on my 3rd listen of the day. LAD boss music be like.
I really wish this fight had a better dynamic intro, but oh well, rest of the fight was good
To be fair trying to choreograph a 5 v 3 where everyone takes a cool pose against each other for a dynamic intro sounds like hastle and it wouldn't help that 3 names would inevitably cover up the screen.
I actually prefer that the intro is subdued.
It feels like a needed juxtaposition to the rest of the game compared to lively Honolulu, where shit gets real, real fast.
3:15 that majima pic XD
this song is the best one in the entire ost, and look that this game's ost is in my first place of best ost in rgg games.
Yakuza 4 no more(for now)
Red Yakuza and Gang
VS
Lime, Green, and Violet Yakuzas
Damn…
I get a big Final Fantasy vibe from this
Fighting The Three Tojo Legends is basically Fighting Equivalent of Sephiroth from FF7
They were scary af and makes you feel on edge... Especially they were always Holding Back mostly
Bravely default 2 vibes
breaking news:3 old man fighting 1 old man with a hostess,a gang leader,a retire nurse and a Chinese Thug because jobs
The truck driver must have been feeling himself.
Yeah, he released the footage of the legends in the shed, but he probably recorded the whole fight for his own pleasure.
canonically none of them have killed someone
Daigo has most definitely killed many people
Daigo killed Shindo and many other people in Yakuza 3, 4 and 5
@@patatayt1919 My bro, don't tell the truth, it's better to live thinking that they didn't kill anyone.
@@RonsonMickrubber bullets
For some reason i thought the title for this song was Impregnable thighs
Is there anything better than this song in all of yakuzas game? This 😂as the first game I ever play and I think this is one of the best video game songs ever. Also what yakuza games do you guys recommend?
I would say kiwami 1 is a really good starting point, as the combat is slimmed down and the game is basically half as long as 0
I'd recommend Yakuza 0 if you want to know more of Kiryus story, starting from 0 to 8 has been a amazing experience.
Such great theme. BTW RC no brodai. Do you know the song that plays before they start fighting. The one where Daigo gets mad at his dad and Majima throws his tanto in between em.
I believe it's the one called "Cut Scene: Beyond the Legends"
Seonhee ❤
Sounds like castlevania
Best fight of the series. Kiryu dogging all three of these legends regardless of his health. Shows you can't beat the dragon.
@@user-et4hk6hk9yserious majima = both
nah, they were definitely holding back.
The Tojo Legends still pulling their strength here... if they were all out, The Party will be toast, no hate
can you post the themes that play in the final brawler parts of this fight with each fighter? i really love the for faith remix and i cant find it anywhere
They're all themes from older themes. "For Face", "Receive and Bite You" and "Massive Fire"
