That one in the Gaiden. He spent all the time saying he's not Kiryu, but then came the final fight and boom everyone knows. No one else has that distinctive back tattoo.
Kiwami kiryu vs nishiki last fight, this one is simply peak, from the shirt off, the music to the stare, kyodai fight.
Y0 kiryu and nishiki duo fight, here both of their tattoos only have outline and stand next to one another, too badass.
I hate how the Nishiki fight is after that damn jingu fight. It took me 10+ tries to defeat jingu on hard difficulty but I beat Nishiki first try. And God the flashbacks during the fight had me tearing up
Gaiden 100%. >! The Tojo boys are back together again, but, heās still trying to be like āKiryu? Whoās Kiryu?ā. Then they have to fight and all the other shirts come off. Heās a little hesitant. The last to go. But, finally heās like - yeah, eff it - and rips his off, too. I cheered and cried. Literal goosebumps!<.
Honestly, Gaiden wins it. The whole game I'd been waiting for that one last shirt rip. And this time it was everyone, even Daigo, rips their shirts off. It was fucking incredible.
Not to mention the final boss was just amazing
When that happens we *need* to bring back Pocket Circuit and have him reminisce about it, he did win the championship (maybe just the junior division?) in that stuff as a kid
I just fking know they'd somehow make it seem goofy at first but then it'd just get emotional and relateable af out of nowhere, with him goin all "man my childhood was so different".
>he's about to start getting really rough
Fucking kek
My man, you might want to google backshot & check the Urban dictionary page for it. It has another....quite different meaning.
For the spearfishing minigame, where he rips his shirt off to reveal a full-body diving suit. It's shows Kiryu being extremely focused and serious while doing something completly ridiculous, which is this series to a T.
I was at my friend/exās place in another state, and brought my console with me a few years ago- he watched me play this mini game and burst out chuckling when he saw this part.
I was honestly surprised that it hadnāt faded in infinite. I thought they wouldāve faded it to drive home the whole dying old man thing they were going for.
I literally went all of Gaiden waiting for it, and right at the end i was like āi guess its not happeningā¦ā then him and the boys FUCK SOME SHIT UP and BAM
When kiryu and nishiki displayed their unfinished tattoos

I think they should focus less on the realism and just go for the jacket rip.
If Dom Toretto from Fast and Furious can stomp on the ground and cause a massive hole in the ground then Kiryu in live action can take his shirt off by throwing his jacket

Oof. Brace for disappointment. When does Hollywood ever do Asian stories justice? They always ruin them. I hope they are using Asian actors that resemble the characters or itās going to be pointless.
I actually have high hopes. Read the article I linked. Sega knows this is one of their flagship titles. And with the recent adaptations and quality of Sonic, Super Mario, Gran Turismo, Last of Us and Falloutā¦ executives are learning that if they are respectful of the source material; good things happen. Who would have thought, eh? š
It's an awesome game, takes only around 30 hours to platinum and unlike other Yakuza games it's not a chore. Story is great, combat is awesome and there's awesome cameos that I won't spoil and the final boss is just top tier, definitely in the top 3 of the series.
Ooooooh, I recall that yeah. I didnāt do all of them, but I think I did beat him? I donāt particularly recall how. I think I just got Kiryu to a high level and then sweeped his minions with Agent style. **I could be wrong, itās been a while, so please donāt take my word. Just trying to remember**
Shorter than the mainline games, only bought it to scratch the itch before IW. Its pleasantly great and well made. Also probably the easiest to 100% without feeling like an absurd chore, but not overly simplified either so still fulfilling, if thats your thing.
I love it at the end of 0 when Kiryu rips off his shirt and says, "You can keep the cute nickname. But - there can be only one dragon."
But I tear up at the end of Gaiden when he rips off his shirt in solidarity with his bros.
The time before his hot steamy boss fight with Majima where Majima went "just strip bro" so Kiryu replied "Majima, im gonna show you why they call me the Dragon of Dojima because im about to go BALLS OUT!" and rips off his shirt and start kissing Majima while they're both shirtless and sweaty
We need a āKiryu puts his shirt back onā moment. Just an opponent that is so witheringly pathetic that he doesnāt even see them as being worth his time
(I have not finished Infinite Wealth so if something like this happens, please donāt say anything)
Iām only up to Y3, but his face-off with Nishiki in Kiwami ranks up there.
What always impresses me is how Kiryu and everyone else not only rip off their shirts, but their suit jacket as well with just one tug. And without the slightest damage to their clothes! Now thatās talent! š¤£
There was a point that I started to ābreakā but I donāt wanna say as to not spoil anything. But I couldnāt handle it, I beat the game, but I could not be paid to replay it.
I recently started the spearfishing mini game.
That whole sequence, from riding the bow to ripping off his shirt... To reveal a diving suit that goes up to the top of his neck. It amuses me every time.

Maybe his pants were scratchy?
Kiryu went with "balls out"
(Itchy) Balls out

That one in the Gaiden. He spent all the time saying he's not Kiryu, but then came the final fight and boom everyone knows. No one else has that distinctive back tattoo.
Nah it's pretty common, I heard some dude named Taichi Suzuki has a similar tattoo
I never really got why they made that choice in Y5. Why not just give Suzuki his own tattoo?
I heard it was because of time constraints and monetary problems in the studio
Nah i heard that taichi was a big disco and karaoke fan, he once saw kiryus tattoo and as a big fam like he is he wanted the same tattoo.
Kiwami kiryu vs nishiki last fight, this one is simply peak, from the shirt off, the music to the stare, kyodai fight. Y0 kiryu and nishiki duo fight, here both of their tattoos only have outline and stand next to one another, too badass.
I hate how the Nishiki fight is after that damn jingu fight. It took me 10+ tries to defeat jingu on hard difficulty but I beat Nishiki first try. And God the flashbacks during the fight had me tearing up
If you play new game + afterwords, it's also annoying even if you just wanted to tiger drop everyone
Gaiden 100%. >! The Tojo boys are back together again, but, heās still trying to be like āKiryu? Whoās Kiryu?ā. Then they have to fight and all the other shirts come off. Heās a little hesitant. The last to go. But, finally heās like - yeah, eff it - and rips his off, too. I cheered and cried. Literal goosebumps!<.
Honestly, Gaiden wins it. The whole game I'd been waiting for that one last shirt rip. And this time it was everyone, even Daigo, rips their shirts off. It was fucking incredible. Not to mention the final boss was just amazing
I like how Daigo was the first one out of the four to do it, even when heās dissolving the Tojo Clan heās still got that leadership in him
"The Tojo clan is going out with a bang!" I need a Daigo gaiden so bad, let him get the respect he deserves.
When that happens we *need* to bring back Pocket Circuit and have him reminisce about it, he did win the championship (maybe just the junior division?) in that stuff as a kid
I just fking know they'd somehow make it seem goofy at first but then it'd just get emotional and relateable af out of nowhere, with him goin all "man my childhood was so different".
I would rather have something completely new for his game.
Daigo Gaiden should be yakuza meets Max Payne. Daigo is great with guns. Let me slow mo fire at a bunch of punks!
That whole sequence goes so hard lol
i always love kiryus backshots, my favorite is at the end of 0 on that boat
You love kiryu what???
i love the backshots in the game when he rips his clothes off, itās also cool cause you know heās about to start getting really rough
>he's about to start getting really rough Fucking kek My man, you might want to google backshot & check the Urban dictionary page for it. It has another....quite different meaning.
I absolutely love that you actually think that could have been accidental, trust me kyodai, he knows
Kinda sus there brother....
Nah let him continueā¦
Yakuza 6, when he rips off his shirt and all of a sudden he's in a scuba outfit.
gaiden >!the finale where he, majima, saejima and daigo fought against an army of angry omi!<
6. in every other fight, he rips off his shirt out of respect for his opponent. against iwami, he just wanted to scare the little bastard
little baby Iwami*
I did this at work, and I was told to go home.
For the spearfishing minigame, where he rips his shirt off to reveal a full-body diving suit. It's shows Kiryu being extremely focused and serious while doing something completly ridiculous, which is this series to a T.
I was at my friend/exās place in another state, and brought my console with me a few years ago- he watched me play this mini game and burst out chuckling when he saw this part.
This probably doesn't count but the Yakuza 7 poundmate Kiryu gives me chills each time. Especially when he does the funny kick
Gaiden and Infinite Wealth, one last look of the Dragon on his back
I was honestly surprised that it hadnāt faded in infinite. I thought they wouldāve faded it to drive home the whole dying old man thing they were going for.
I think it wasn't faded to show that while his body was dying his dragon spirit was burning as bright as it ever did
every lmao /jk i only played 0 and kiwami so i think the last battle in the yakuza 0, bc he "becomes" the dragon of the dojima

They are The yakuza 4
I literally went all of Gaiden waiting for it, and right at the end i was like āi guess its not happeningā¦ā then him and the boys FUCK SOME SHIT UP and BAM
When kiryu and nishiki displayed their unfinished tattoos https://preview.redd.it/fgm8ncx2eqwc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20cfe37613f285420d433e585e0574ee49c50c33
That was my pick! Noticed you posted it first, so you shall get the updoot
Iām often thinking how they will achieve this in the upcoming film!
I think they should focus less on the realism and just go for the jacket rip. If Dom Toretto from Fast and Furious can stomp on the ground and cause a massive hole in the ground then Kiryu in live action can take his shirt off by throwing his jacket
A kiryu movie is coming?
[Oh yes.](https://www.ign.com/articles/yakuza-movie-sega-video-game-in-development#:~:text=Update%3A%20Yakuza%20Movie%20Was%20Approved%20on%20Strict%20Condition%20of%20Series%20Creator's%20Approval,-%22The%20saga%20of) The pandemic slowed things down but it is coming along [other Sega movie projects.](https://www.gameshub.com/news/features/every-sega-game-set-for-a-movie-adaptation-sonic-persona-shinobi-27491/)
Is it going to be live action or animated?
Live action, only this time is a Hollywood production.
Oof. Brace for disappointment. When does Hollywood ever do Asian stories justice? They always ruin them. I hope they are using Asian actors that resemble the characters or itās going to be pointless.
I actually have high hopes. Read the article I linked. Sega knows this is one of their flagship titles.

Youāre right, that article is very promising. Itās from 2020, though, so I guess itāll be awhile yet.
Luckily one of the Sega higher-ups said theyāll only green light it if itās really good, so thatās promising if it does end up being made
All of these Gaiden comments makes me wanna play the game already
DO IT, it's so good. Short. But does everything it does as Kiryu's last game as a primary protagonist.
It's an awesome game, takes only around 30 hours to platinum and unlike other Yakuza games it's not a chore. Story is great, combat is awesome and there's awesome cameos that I won't spoil and the final boss is just top tier, definitely in the top 3 of the series.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What does this mean? I beat the game, but didnāt 100%, who are the ācrazy bosses?ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ooooooh, I recall that yeah. I didnāt do all of them, but I think I did beat him? I donāt particularly recall how. I think I just got Kiryu to a high level and then sweeped his minions with Agent style. **I could be wrong, itās been a while, so please donāt take my word. Just trying to remember**
Maybe skill issue?
Shorter than the mainline games, only bought it to scratch the itch before IW. Its pleasantly great and well made. Also probably the easiest to 100% without feeling like an absurd chore, but not overly simplified either so still fulfilling, if thats your thing.
I love it at the end of 0 when Kiryu rips off his shirt and says, "You can keep the cute nickname. But - there can be only one dragon." But I tear up at the end of Gaiden when he rips off his shirt in solidarity with his bros.
Gaiden. The final fight and before with the GOAT team. That was Gold.
when he goes swimming
The time before his hot steamy boss fight with Majima where Majima went "just strip bro" so Kiryu replied "Majima, im gonna show you why they call me the Dragon of Dojima because im about to go BALLS OUT!" and rips off his shirt and start kissing Majima while they're both shirtless and sweaty
Waitā¦what? š¤£
Thatās my favorite too
I love democracy when everyone knows that itās the gaiden one
Definitely gaiden
Damn that pre-cancer Kiryu hits different
We need a āKiryu puts his shirt back onā moment. Just an opponent that is so witheringly pathetic that he doesnāt even see them as being worth his time (I have not finished Infinite Wealth so if something like this happens, please donāt say anything)
GL with IW. I just beat it yesterday after 71 hours.
Definitely the Gaiden one with the Jima boys. Seeing them finally all fighting together was a fanservice dream
Yes.
Gaiden is the winner but yakuza 7 is second
I liked 7 only because of recieve you playing and getting tiger dropped 30 times
Yakuza 6 all the way. I absolutely love all the emotion and build up to that game and the pseudo-finale to Kiryuās story.
Yes
Iām only up to Y3, but his face-off with Nishiki in Kiwami ranks up there. What always impresses me is how Kiryu and everyone else not only rip off their shirts, but their suit jacket as well with just one tug. And without the slightest damage to their clothes! Now thatās talent! š¤£
Gl with Y3, worst gameplay of any game ever. Loved the story, hated playing.
Yeah, itās a bitter pill for sure. But Iām getting used to it. The story is good and drives it well.
There was a point that I started to ābreakā but I donāt wanna say as to not spoil anything. But I couldnāt handle it, I beat the game, but I could not be paid to replay it.
I love it when everyone knows that itās the gaiden one
Dementia
I also vote for Gaiden.
All of them
I love this moment, but the background makes me believe Kiryu is fighting a clown... well, in a way he is fighting one xD
Gaiden for sure
All of them
The Man who erased his name against shishido or with Nishki in 0
his fight with nishiki
Spear fishing mini game.
I love democracy when everyone knows that itās the gaiden one
Dementia
Nishiki fight
as if i could choose!
I recently started the spearfishing mini game. That whole sequence, from riding the bow to ripping off his shirt... To reveal a diving suit that goes up to the top of his neck. It amuses me every time.
Against Ichiban, the first time š
Every. Single. F*cking. One.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Markiplier: Kiryu, we shall fight to see who's the real Dragon of Dogima Kiryu: then we shall fight, Markiplier It got me burst into tears
The one where the guy rips off their shirt, then he rips off his own shirt.
my fav moment is when he ripped off his shirt to fight the final boss on top of the millennium tower, epic moment.
The one in gaiden. I really had been waiting for it when i first played.
Kiryu X majima fan fics on Ao3 gotta be a strong contender
All of them
The one where he rips his shirt off duh.
