Yakuza 0 serves as a prequel to the popular Yakuza series, set in the vibrant and neon-lit streets of 1980s Japan. The game follows the intertwining stories of Kazuma Kiryu, a young yakuza on the rise, and Goro Majima, a disgraced former yakuza seeking redemption. When a simple debt collection goes horribly wrong, Kiryu finds himself caught in a web of betrayal and conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the Tojo Clan, one of the most powerful yakuza organizations in Japan. Meanwhile, Majima is forced to work as a cabaret manager in Osaka while secretly plotting his return to the yakuza world. As the two men navigate the treacherous waters of the Japanese underworld, they must confront corrupt politicians, rival yakuza families, and their own personal demons. With its gripping narrative, memorable characters, and explosive combat system, Yakuza 0 offers a deep and immersive exploration of the yakuza lifestyle and the complex moral codes that govern it.

5:15 The difference is Japan has very few guns, outside of law enforcement and organized crime. If you murder someone with a gun, it's very easy to be traced back to you or your boss. Being beaten to death could just be seen as a random mugging or jumping gone wrong, with the suspect pool being much larger as a result.

@HajimeNoJMo 9 месяцев назад

That is part of it, it’s just the crazy legislation that Japan has with guns also plays a major role, especially since the beginning of the 90s. Since then, you can get a lot more years of your sentence for not just killing someone with a gun, but for illegally having it as well. So just by killing someone with a dosu knife, you don’t have to serve an extra 10 to 20 years.

@Broomer52 Год назад

@@SuperKendoman I would imagine more government spending to increase efforts to keep the crime rate down, but from what I understand the economy is in terrible shape over there. Violent Gang activity was kept in check in the US because of more spending on the police force, however the police were also less picky about who they let in and did little to actually curb misconduct in their own ranks as a result which led to police brutality which led to half the country damn near burning itself to the ground in anger, to appease the fickle crowd the government reduced police funding which meant less incentive to stay around especially since public opinion on that police force was now extremely negative. As a result of that we have less law enforcement and now Crime Rates are on the rise which some places being little more than a hive of gang warfare. Moral of the story a well funded police force keeps the peace but a well funded police force with little accountability will increase crime instead by knee capping it’s own ability to help.

The Yakuza were infamous for making some of their members do time in prison to make things better with law enforcement. The bosses looked at it as an honor to go away for the family. You have to understand that Japan prides itself on its very low crime numbers. There is a saying in Japan, there is no murder, only manslaughter (accidents). They have some terrible laws regarding liberties, but most citizens are OK with them. They can put you in jail for over a month without much cause, they do this so people confess to crimes they might not have even committed. It is all about "saving face" and the appearance of justice. It is pretty f*cked up.

@teamnoob52 Год назад

I think it partly had to do with the fact that for several decades after WW2, the longest sentence a convicted murder conviction could get in Japan was 10yrs. Nothing to sneeze at, but entirely possible to serve and come out with some useful years left. Nowadays though, longer sentences are handed out.

Japan is a whole lot of different than anywhere else. Japanese law system, unlike anywhere else, has a very high conviction rate that once you're bound to be tossed into prison, it's very hard for you to beat the lawsuit into your favour and wriggle out of a jail sentence. 99% of the time you're bound to be in there thus they're asking Kiryu to be in there to reduce the heat? Absolutely possible. They knew Kiryu is a strong person who would unbound their dealings and using him as a scapegoat was a great move for the legal system that they had.

Some things are a bit different because of how it works in Japan compared to other countries. The police has a lot of power and influence, and if a crime has been commited someone will be arrested no matter what they have a strict policy of saving face in front of the public by giving results, so the organised crime sometimes have one of them go do that prison time in order for the police to stop ingestigating before it reachs them.

@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 Год назад

04:30 is VERY realistic in the Yakuza World. It gets the cops to back off and put heat on everybody, and oyu don't do long time in Japan for murder. There are countries where "life" means 20 years, and if you're reasonably well behaved you're out in 8-10, that's if you even get a 20. And this is manslaughter anyway, not murder. He beat the guy up, didn't mean to kill him. So he'll be out even faster. They're about making money, if you gotta go to prison you gotta go. There is no showboating trial and "naw I'm innocent" etc. Yeah, sometimes. But if it's bad shit and the cops put on a lot of pressure you take one for the team. But that's because Japanese are more team-/collective minded also than your average Westerner, even if they're Yakuza.

Get him back to react to the same game but only show him the craziest substories.

The gun thing is because guns in Japan are extremely rare and it’s hard to get one so just owning one can get you into issues

Get him back for Majima's story.

Man I was just thinking about what if Michael reacts to the Yakuza series.

@1Manimation1 10 дней назад

Can you please ask him, if he had a tattoo on his back, what would it be? Because tattoos in the Yakuza game play a significant role in telling us about the characters themselves. For example, Kiryu has a dragon tattoo symbolizing his status as the king and leader. Majima has a demon tattoo symbolizing his crazy personality and dangerous aura. Mine has a unicorn tattoo symbolizing either good prosperity or ultimate demise, depending on the ruler. Saejima has a tiger tattoo symbolizing raw power and the natural opponent of the dragon, which is Kiryu’s opponent. Nishikiyama has a fish tattoo symbolizing being at the beginning and having a lot to learn, not a dragon yet, since dragons begin as fish. Daigo has the Lord of the Dead tattoo symbolizing his status as the boss of the underworld. I bet Mr. Michael would have something like the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus since he is very religious, and it symbolizes his turn from his previous criminal life to a new, better one focused on being with his family. Or maybe Angel Mikail, the mover of clouds to bring down the rain, since he was really good at bringing money and prosperity to his family. What do you guys think?

A skilled fighter only a little way outside arm's reach against an inexperienced panicky person with a gun is the bigger threat in that situation. Telling the man with significant experience at violence to calm down when he can see your gun hand shaking is just another reminder that the guy trying to threaten him is terrified of the idea of pulling the trigger. And in the earlier situation, the gun is a big deal because of how Japanese people view them, in many circles, it can be a matter of honour that you never use a gun, and that's especially true against an unarmed opponent. That's even more important in light of the fact that beating a person badly enough that they later die from their injuries is a less obviously deliberate killing than if you beat them until they can't move then shoot them in the head to make sure they never get back up. It doesn't necessarily have to be a gun, but an intentional execution finisher after beating the guy was part of the problem for Kiryu in that situation. The fact that it's a gun specifically is something that makes it even worse because of the culture, but it doesn't mean the guy is any more dead being shot rather than clearly executed in some other way.

Most important tool of a yakuza: a shirt and jacket you can rip off and throw away in one easy motion to show off your giant back tattoo.

Hahaha I've been watching Michael's videos for a while now. So funny to see him react to Kiryu and Majima. Should've reacted to Mafia 1 and 2 though

A former yakuza or traids doing a review on mafia 1 or 2 remastered would be interesting!!!

@PhillyCh3zSt3ak Год назад

It'd be funny if it were revealed at the end to Michael that Kiryu technically hasn't killed anyone in the entire series. Very cool though to get his insight into the underworld.

@kirbyx2137 Год назад

So no one is gonna wonder how they contacted him for a video

@AmericanArchon Год назад

I would have asked about contracting with outsiders when the Chinese guy showed up. See how common it would be for the Italians to contract/work with other groups (Irish, Haitian, Albanian, etc).
