- I reeeally enjoyed the plot of this game so I apologize for all the theorizing I did x,D I love really thinking about the grand scope of a game and Yakuza 0 really intrigued me. Hope you enjoy the final highlight video!

Her talking about Majima: "When that shit happens to you, how do you remotely stay sane?"
Me: KiRyUUUuU- chaAN!
"I wonder what'll happen to Majima in the later games"
Majima: Zombie Apocalypse time
KIRYU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we dont talk about THAT game
@@danknerevarine3678 It’s not THAT bad, come on :/
Meanwhile me wondering Majima doing some Munancho
@@lKanz its a joke the community makes, personally i think that the game itself is decent. They wanted to connect with the western audience and make it like Dead Rising
The best part about Majima is that he never really breaks. He develops a whole persona to make people think he’s unhinged so that he can survive the darkness of the Yakuza life.
He took a page from nishitani
And he is pretty successful. Since he pretends to be mad, sad things stop happening in his life and it even becomes joyful.
The facade has shown cracks over the years. For example him and Makoto both getting closure...in Kiwami 2, when he accepts that he Royally fucked up the day he didn't show up to back up Taiga who went to jail for(spoilers)and his sister...jfc...why can't we fkn save anybody out side of Haruka, Date, and Daigo, and the Hiroshima Hirose fam...
I also have a bit of a headcanon that part of the reason for the huge personality shift was to put that one extra degree of separation to make it more difficult for Makoto to ever track him down.
I think a huge factor of it was to make sure no one can ever predict him again. We saw how lost and heart broken he was after learning all of his struggles and choices, were unknowingly predetermined by his bald douche of a boss that used him like a pawn. Which was only possible because Shimano could read him like a book.
But now being the unpredictable nut job protects him from having his ambitions twisted by others again.
I love how Yakuza 0 ends with not only Kiryu and Majima finally meeting but with the the final line of Dialogue being the famous KIRYU CHAN!!! Which is only the start of what’s to come of this series
@@Votssad I wonder if Kiryu has dreams about that
@@Votssad i would too
this is predicament similar to those silly RDR2 fans, they choose to ignore/ never heard of the 1st game/ expect too much of rdr1 that they end up being disappointed that RDR1 is not as technologically impressive as RDR2, or as immersive and well written as RDR2 ( tho RDR1 itself was pretty well written, but John's character wasn't delved into as much as we'd like it to be, which is a treatment Arthur got instead, thus the reason all RDR2 fans unanimously agree Arthur is better)
they shun it because it wasn't as well made as RDR2, lore discrepancies, graphics ( which doesnt look too bad, just dated) , and other lousy reasons
Yo...
It's the first time we see them together in Yakuza 0, but I don't think it's meant to actually be when the two first meet. It's just some moment in the future. Not even Majima would act that way meeting someone for the first time.
You want to see Goro Majima break? Well, let me introduce you to the most beautiful women in Kamurocho, Goromi.
"A part of me wants to see what happens when Goro Majima breaks"
Well no worries there.
*OBJECTION!!!*
I mean technically Majima never truly breaks.
He's broken but somewhat glued together as well
@@murasAme19 that’s the best way to put it
Nah he just renting out a few extra skeletons from the family shop here in calcium town, nothing works better than glue… except a better suit of *B O N E S*
Kuze may be a meme, but he is one of the best characters in whole franchise (in my opinion). His opinion on Kiryu changes after each fight. He started by underestimating you, and that backfired against him (pinky's gone). The turning point is after fourth fight, when Kuze calls Kiryu the "true yakuza" and knows that he'll become a legend in the future. The final fight is to test the new legend with diffrent theme, which for me is the sign that this time it's diffrent. Kiryu even calls him "Kuze-no-Aniki", which means "big brother", which is a huge show of respect given his story with him.
Kuze's tenacity changed Kiryu into a person he is in future games. Kiryu's outfit is even inspired by Kuze's (colour of the suit and its cut and even snake skin shoes are similar to Kuze's the only diffrence is shirt colour). No wonder Kuze is fan favorite in the community. I wish he would appear in future games as a substory boss or something (with his classic theme which is simply awesome and fits his character well) That's my own opnion on him (English isn't my native language so please dont judge if its not understandable)
TL:DR: Kuze made Kiryu
I'm of the opposite opinion. I think Kuze is a douchbag and don't care for his character. Using underhanded tactics to get the upper hand of a situation over and over again isn't cool. Put yourself in Kiryu's shoes (without his superhuman strength) and see how you'd feel if you get treated that way.
@@NocturnalBeing i understand your disapproval, beacause it's your opinion and you have the right to think so and I'm not gonna persuade you to think otherwise. I'm just a sucker for antagonists with some kind of honor so I may be a little biased xd
To be fair, Kuze subtly "took the blame" for Tachibana's death. The guy who fell out the window did Tacbibana in by slamming a hammer into his head. Kuze just goes on to say "Guess I went to far," or something along those lines. I see it as Kuze knowing Kiryu walked in at a bad time, and that someone was getting decked.
Kuze made Kiryu like how Nishitani made Majima.
@@Crow_Calypso Play this games , beacause all of them are good , but as someone said already, 0 set high expectations going into the next installments, Kiwami 1 and 2 are remakes of the games that were released in '05 and '06 and you can see that ( especially in Kiwami 1); 3,4,5 are difficult to get through (each for a diffrent reason; 3's combat may be annoying, 4 has constant twists in story, that many people may not like, and 5 is the most divisive one in the community - this is the game that you either love or hate). 6 is ok but some people ofc had problems with this one. And 7 i think is a nice refresher and I had lot of fun playing it. I tried to avoid spoilers as much as possibile. Nevertheless all of them are good (some even great) games and you're in for a treat. Sorry for such a long reply.
Sera shows up literally 4 times in the whole game and she falls all over herself for him. She's definitely got a type!
SPOILERS: Then she is gonna be disappointed as hell with what happens literally next game and in the first hour.
@@durzoblint6532 Gonna be a real bad time
Despite 0 being one of the best entries, I think it sets a kind of expectation to people that start with 0 that may end up disappointing them.
Because past 0, and even with his increased screentime in the Kiwami entries because of popularity, Majima was always just a supporting character.
Agreed, which i always feel kind of iffy recommending zero because while it is the most accessible Yakuza at that time, people have expections for games that came out before this(especially with majima). I might just recommend Yakuza Like a Dragon, the combat is different but they dont need to know that much about kiryus story to enjoy it .There is also Judgement which is a great stand alone..
I’ve always been a fan of playing games in the order they were released rather than chronologically. Do it the way h the devs designed for it to be done I say
But then they could start with Kiwami or even the original PS2 game and give up on the series, because it's simply not as good as 0. There's also the fact that Kiwami and Kiwami 2 were designed to be played after 0, even if they are remakes of games that came out first.
There's no way perfect way to start the series that will make everyone fall in love with it, but 0 is still easily the best introduction to the series that shows off its strengths the most, with the least baggage holding it back as an entry point. If people build up the wrong expectations and end up disappointed later that's on them. It's bound to happen with some people. But there's also plenty of people that fell in love with the whole series thanks to 0.
I personally started with 4 and Akiyama was my favorite character, but he gets even less screen time than Majima. That didn't stop me from playing the whole series though.
@@Zeik56 You started at 4?
What was your reaction seeing cutscenes of that game in 0?
And of course the PS2 games won't be as good as 0, for obvious reasons.
@@Ticketman99 The interesting thing about starting at 4 is that Majima really isn't a very prominent character at that point, so I didn't really have much of a connection to him until 0 came around. I kinda got to know Majima mostly through his relationship with Saejima.
It was interesting seeing those cutscenes pop up in 0, but nothing too shocking, since it was just there to give context to people not already in the know, or a reminder to those who forgot.
Apparently being a member of the yakuza means being a part time stripper too.
That's some foreshadowing right there
Majima everywhere system
You will be hearing alot of "Kiryu-chaan" if you continue with Kiwami 1 :D
She’s on yakuza 4 in the streams. Just hasn’t had the other games edited down yet
KIRYU-CHAN!!!!
Heheheeeheeehee Kiryu Chan
Majima Everywhere!
Also a lot more of Kiryu going "Nani?" to pretty much everything.
People were waiting to see how Majima went nuts in Yakuza 0 to become how he was in Yakuza 1, but the real twist is that he didn't break, he was simply unchained. He cut his ties with the one woman he could love to protect her, he's no longer bound to the Grand Cabaret and imprisoned in town by the Yakuza and he realized just how far he was willing to go to protect someone, Makoto in this case.
In other words, he went nuts realistically. He chose a different life, the only other life he could have and molded himself into a crazy character to survive it, intentionally. Most people don't have one instance of nuts and break like in media, they die a little inside each day, with each experience, until the original person isn't what they were.
Yo... KIRYU-CHAN!
Wow it’s Goro Majima from the Yakuza series. I just want to say you’re my favorite character.
Ah, hey Majima from the famous franchise "Yakuza" how is your day with kiryu-chan?
If I had a penny for every insane Goro Crystal liked, I'd have two pennies, which isn't much, but it's weird it happened twice.
Look at that, Crystal debating (and anticipating) the fate of another Goro. Let's hope this time, he doesn't decide to return to his home planet..... If you Lo-ki catch my Tokyo Drift.......
Wow
Girls: Guys only want one thing and it’s disgusting.
Me: I just want Majima-chan to be happy
Shenpai: Yes! Rip your shirt off.
Crystal: No, don’t do it. Don’t rip your shirt off.
Never thought she’d be the wholesome one this time.
She just can't process suits being ripped off like that lmao. And yes, you're gonna see a lot more of that in future Yakuza vids lmao (assuming she decides to use that footage).
Just rip the shirt off!!!

@@kenw4574 yeah man thanks
majima isn't just 'break' , he absorb the personality of all the(that he think are) important people that he met through the story.. he absord lee strength; nishitani craziness,excitement and the pursuit of pleasure above all else, and sagawa tenacity.
...and they're all dead. OMG, he has some kind of curse where he steals your powers and then you die!
@@0Fyrebrand0 Majima is Mega Man
20:45 AND THUS THE LEGEND WAS BORN
Yakuza is such a great series so far! I am happy to watch these streams so much!
I love the Kuze everywhere system.
If you start playin' Kiwami, *NEVER* trust the traffic cones...
Ehhh, I had to search for them
I was so thrown off guard when I went to Smile Burger and the cashier is like "Would you like a side of Majima with that?"
I was like: "NANI!?"
I love the ending. So sad, and so good.
And yeah, that scene in the forest with Nishiki was also really well made.
"Every time I think about Majima I come up with a different theory."
This is interestingly appropriate cuz Majima, in the original Yakuza game, the one game he had an English VA in, he's voiced by none other than Mark Hamil. The guy who voices the animated series' Joker. Joker a character that has gone on record saying "If I'm going to have a past... Then I prefer it be multiple choice."
Majima is basically like the Joker in that in Yakuza 0, without future game knowledge, he's probably the hardest to predict, and with future game knowledge starting Yakuza 0, you can't imagine what could happen to turn him into the Wild Dog we all know and love.
Then you hit the later half of the game that is basically just Majima getting tossed around and fucked over by everyone and everything until he basically just says "fuck it" after multiple chapters of declining mental state after declining mental state.
I spent the entirety of Yakuza 0 wondering “ok so THIS is what’s gonna drive Majima over the edge.” Turns out he literally just goes “fuck it I wanna live crazy” basically. Fitting.
I'm playing Yakuza Kiwami now, and it really feels like Kiryu and Majima have a "Batman and Joker" dynamic. Kiryu is super serious and doesn't want to fight, while Majima just loves messing with him and trying to push him over the edge. His ridiculous "Majima Everywhere" schemes are even like something out of the campy 60's live action Batman series, how goofy they are.
Yakuza 0 was also how I started the series as a latecomer, and now I’m absolutely in love with the series
Crystal: *shook a bit at Majima’s look*
Me: Ah yes. The Rightful Order has returned to this world.
"Just beat me up, Nishiki"
-CrystAHHL 2021
oh cant wait for the reaction to the fist part of kawami 1 oh sh*t
If you cant wait, there's her second channel that already has the reaction vid
@@vinsmokeray4230 whats the second chanel?
@@vinsmokeray4230 what's the second channel?
@@pryor it’s under her related channels
@@Dashynke CrystAAHHL Streams
3:38 : "Just beat me up, Nishiki 😭". With each day, we stray further away from God and further towards kinks.
Oh, just a note the whole "Kiryu doesn't kill" thing is a slight mistranslation. He doesn't assault people to kill them. He doesn't really have an issue killing in self-defense.
I know it's a meme, but for reals tho, Kiryu actually does not kill people. The police would constantly be on his ass if all the thugs he fought on streets and in gameplay were actually dead.
@@MugdhaMahdiShams yeah but like not like kills around thugs mystery but more like kills people like the time he used a RPG in Yakuza 6, any shooting sequence while driving, he doesn't kill In Cold Blood he's gotten close a couple times but it's always in self-defense if he does( although the Millennium Tower raid in 6 kind of stretching that)
@@grodcoyote6635 I'm pretty sure it would've made news if there was an entire highway full of crashed cars and burning corpses if he really did kill those people during those shootouts. Those parts are non canon and in Kiryu's head.
Those parts are certainly not noncanon and certainly not in his head.
@@raiseasato him shooting is canon. Him shooting them dead is non canon.
"I hate saying this"
*smiling ear to ear*
I'm so glad this exists because I just beat Yakuza 0 recently and I already know I'm late to the game. So seeing someone else experiencing the series this late is refreshing
Best quote. "That's not how you rip a shirt off!"
Your description of Majima's character is spot on and it's exactly why his character goes the route he does. An animal is most dangerous when it's cornered.
new people getting into rgg: man this is so good
me: *laughs in falling into the game franchise so hard that i cant escape*
That smile at the end... priceless!
When Kiryu and Majima first meet.... Chills 👏 the start of an amazing franchise
Glad you channel popped up for me. Always love first time reactions to the Yakuza series. Looking forward to seeing you play Kiwami 1 and 2!
Love this! Hope you put the next game highlights on the channel!
I’m so glad to have been present for her very first KIRYU-CHANNNNNN
Always great to see new fans join the Yakuza fandome. It is such a great franchise and I love to see that the western market is finally catching up to it aswell for the last years.
Btw. your face at 17:35 is just hilarious! The track almost screams that this is not the moment for a happy reunion, yet you still think it might happen :D
That cold reaction Makoto had with Majima at the end, I mean the two of them living in different worlds was best for everyone, but it still sucked ass
I love these cuts of your playthrough of Yakuza ! You should do the same with the other Yakuza games that your are playing. You're so fraggling funny!
Oh man can’t wait for more!
12:43 By absolutely ruining your tops is how. That’s why Majima just wears that snakeskin pimp jacket everywhere; he ripped up all his good shirts over ~20 years of major (and also very minor) conflicts.
God I love the Kiryu-chan line
I've been waiting the whole game for that "KYRIU-CHAN"
majima: Yo CRYSTAHHHHL CHANNNNNNNNNNN
Love seeing peoples reactions to this kind of thing, like “oh oh! You think that’s a twist?!”
Your reaction to majima's and kiryu's meeting is gold!
16:21 different style of yakuza, WE DON’T KILL
-but we kinda do sometimes we don’t talk about that-
"I wanna see what happens when Majima breaks"
14:00 My head cannon is that the only tailor in Kamurocho just happened to be the same person that designed NBA warmup jerseys. Either that or there's a secret yakuza undressing technique that's part of their initiation
I know this is totally unrelated, but when CrystAAHHL read "Dragon of Dojima" I though of (P4) Dojima's max rank persona, which is a dragon. (._.)
I just watched my friend play through this. I tried to keep up with the story as much as I could, and I cried when makato heard her watch... Great game. Really got attached to the characters
She cared about the jacket thing more than the ending I am dead
yakuza 0 is so good as a stand-alone game you don't even really need to play the others unless you really want to
I just started replaying Yakuza 0 and I'm all of a sudden getting Yamuza 0 videos recommended to me.
Also that smile at the end was just 😘 perfect!
There are few things as delightful as seeing someone reach to that first KIRYU-CHAN after playing all of 0
Majima deserves the best and a lifetime of happiness ;-;
He want it but he couldn't since in the Yakuza Series after 0. He can't achieved and never cuz the whole plan back in '85 is fucked up and its rotten him until Yakuza Like a Dragon (?)
I just want him to stay in Sotenbori, and run Club Sunshine forever. Oh, and he and Yuki get married eventually. I demand it! The customer is king!!!
@@0Fyrebrand0 Unfortunately. Majima already married to someone else before Event of Yakuza 0(?) and they go separate way. Hey, I could be wrong so some people can correct this statement but that's how I remember to read him on wiki
@@ReiSyre62 he is 28 when he married, his ex wife states it even. In Y0, he is 24.
Close enough tho
@@kittyjeany I see...
If he marries on 28 it means before Yakuza 1 he's already having a marriage after he cannot taking Makoto in
Oh another human being that has barely seen spongebob i didn't know they existed
TIME FOR GORO MAJIMA'S COMEBACK TOUR
20:45 Yo, that's my exact sane reaction LMAO😂
Me too! I mean it's the first time to see majima with his new persona(get it?) So its shocking in the first time. But after that we get use to this and loves majima even more.
He said it! He said the line!
Love your voice! You’d be a great vtuber ^_^ looking forward to you playing Kiwami 1
Hopefully you play the other games just like I did after 0
and what a great series it is I tell you
Don't worry there are literally tens of us who have not watched Spongebob
Looking forward to Kiwami playthrough
Crystal can’t rip off her shirt in one swift motion because she’s not a real yakuza. I bet she doesn’t even use a gamepad
majima gets fucking "killed" by kiryu repeatedly
Your journey through this game and onward has been an awesome sight to see so glad you’ve been enjoying yourself with this series 😇
You need to show them the power of adults (and money) by making those kids cry in pocket racing.
You should play 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim.
I'd love to see your reaction to it.
0:50 yo she predicted yakuza kiwami(Yeah I know it was 1 and 1 is before zero but just go along with it)
As someone who also recently completed Y0 for streams (though forgot to archive as I'm an idiot). I love seeing the different reactions. But more than anything, CrystAAHHL, GURL WHERE DID YOU GET THAT JACKET I NEED ONE OR ONE LIKE IT FOR DUDES. It just hangs right and I find that's so rare with blazers / jackets lol
I get all my blazers and nice business clothes from White House Black Market ^.^
@CrystAAHHL Please excuse me while I colossally fanboy that CrystAAHHL actually responded to me 😍
Hey, I’m just wondering since I’m new and have only been watching the highlights, but did Crystal do the Daigo substory?
Start yakuza kiwami!!! I would love to watch it!! Yakuza story is really good
Orchestrating crime while in prison?
Arsène Lupin would like to have a chat with you.
Majima is best boi
Cant wait for Kiwami
Your theories were soooo close at the start were soooo close yet so far
Losing love does change a man forever
KIRYU-CHAN
You don't know the fate about majima
Cause majima is a majima before he became a majima
20:00 The moment I wait for with every streamer that plays this game!
**laughs in nishkiyama in 0**
Or cries I should say
Wow, you really kept going after this mess. If I would have started with 0, I would have no motivation whatsoever for any future Yakuza.
19:53 Oh, you mean, like a Mad Dog? 🗿
Not gonna say any spoilers because it's more than worth the journey through this legendary series but you've officially signed yourself on for a ride
thats so fucking bittersweet
Hopefully you play kiwami next!!!!
You weren't far off on Kiryu's future
HI CRYSTAAHL
5:08: I am no longer baby, I want *B L O O D*
Me wondering if should stop watching cause I do have Yakuza 0 and never finished it 🤔
Also me: *Watches the video cause I can't just not watch what will happen 👀*
The main story line is only like 1/3 or or even 1/4 of the entire game's content though, as it has tonnes of subquests (that which the stories can be pretty interesting or even wacky at time). Just the Real Estate and the Cabaret Club mini games alone would be many hours of gameplay.
I finished the main story plot and Real Estate and the Cabaret Club mini games and most of the side quests at around 150hrs, but I still haven't fully finished everything.
The game is worth playing even if you were spoiled for the main plot already. Hell, I'd tempt to do a new game+ sometimes in the future, but I need to get my butt off and find time to play Kiwami 2 first.
@@MarineRX179 I've played yakuza 0 a year ago, think only got to chapter 2 and even then I don't recall much. I find the side story/content has fun and interesting :3
good franchise
Well I'm looking forward to Kiwami then
It’s too bad that a lot of the later games still can’t top this game. If u think about u can’t really do all this cool analysis of the plot and character motivation in some of the later games. Mostly because their plot is a mess of convoluted and stupid twists.
I’m happy they learned from the later Yakuza games and made this game. It shows how the developers have grown in writing stories
"later games"?
Really, bruh?
Unless you meant 6, Judgment and 7.
@@Ticketman99 I mean if ur playing them in order, not necessarily later in the sense of release. Most of the ones you play after 0 aren’t as good as 0 since they came out before.
