Back in Yakuza 6, Kazuma Kiryu died so that The Dragon of Dojima can live. Now in Infinite Wealth, The Dragon of Dojima died so that Kazuma Kiryu can live. Sayonara, Kazuma Kiryu.
Now if only we could see the reunion between him and Haruka on-screen. That's the single most important plot point that I'm seriously hoping they don't off-screen.
@@JGSM_JuvenileGeryon I seconded this idea. As long as I love Kiryu, I admit he's not in shape he can fight like in older games before anymore. He already fight and lose too much. It's time for him to rest already.
I was just surprised at first then smiling knowing they brought back that absolute legend. In a game with an already amazing cast of support characters, Nakajima *still* manages to stand above the rest, and I was so happy to see they brought him back and Date let him know Kiryu is alive.
The Dragon of Dojima, 4th Chairman of the Tojo clan, owner of Morning Glory Orphanage, son of Shintaro Kazama, brother of Akira Nishikiyama, lover of Sawamura Yumi, grandfather of Sawamura Haruto, father of Daigo Dojima, rival of Goro Majima, best friend of Makoto Date but most importantly of them all: father of 9 awesome kids. All that we need now is to see Kiryu reuniting with Haruka and the rest of the kids on-screen. That's it, let the man get his rest at last!
You came for a story about cool yakuza member that fights for fun and left with a story about a father that cant escape his past and protects what he values the most
I have to be honest, I bawled my eyes out in Gaiden, and once the trophy for IW popped up I did it once more - Kiryu deserves to rest, man. The Dragon fades away, but is that truly a bad thing? The Dragon of Dojima dies... so the man behind it can live, truly free.
I was going through a bad time some time ago, and to distract myself I decided to try that funny "GTA like" japanese game. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Kazuma Kiryu might not exist physically in our world, but his memory, and his NAME will live forever in my heart and mind
We've seen Kiryu cry, sing, fight for his life, he was the main character for 8 (excluding 7) games, and seeing him actually "fading away" is truly sad. This theme captures the feeling of knowing someone throught his ups and downs, its not cool its just beautiful. Makes me drop a tear.
@@frenchfriesfan2005if we add in the spin-offs: Ishin, Kenzan, Dead Souls and Streets of Kamurocho, then it's 13. If you count Lost Paradise then that's fourteen games where Kiryu is the main protag.
I got teary eyed listening to this. It truly encapsulates all of Kiryu’s moments. His ups and downs throughout his journey and now he’s finally earned his rest. Its beautiful
The Dragon's cherished bonds, greatest battles, and ultimate legacy. From the boy wanting to become Yakuza to violating his oaths to defend the ones he holds dear no matter the cost A man who has lived by many names and titles but shall always be remembered as Kazuma Kiryu
I really hope Kiryu beats cancer but FULLY retires after this No more adventures, no more fighting, no more...well, The Dragon Its time to lay the Dragon to rest. It's been on hell of a time
Exactly that. I played these games since 2008 and Kiryu has been with me for over a decade. I love him as an old friend and it still hurts knowing that I am not going to see him again, but I want the exactly same thing for him: finally leads a peacful life and fully retires.
@@dkld6575 yeah i feel like this might be the most likely outcome, showing up as an npc in RGG9 and maybe as a special support in a fight or two but I doubt he's gonna be playable again in any main game (Unless he creeps his way into judgement or something, or they do another prequel)
I'm hoping 9 is Ichiban putting to rest the Daidoji to protect kiryu and his kids. That's where it feels like the story is heading. They just left that up in the air at the end of 8 and never showed how he resolved that little issue they hit us over the head with in gaiden and 8. Especially if they make ichiban's party consist of everyone that Kiryu helped/fought with up til that point, and allow them all time in the limelight.
I've followed Kiryu from 0, when I first started in the Yakuzaverse, to IW where we see his strength fade as the torch is passed to a fresh face in Ichiban. From all the friends he made, brotherhood that persevered, family that was fostered and faught for....Kiryu has lived a very hard life. A dragon, a brother, a father, Grandfather, and now the most simple thing at the end of it all, a man. There is only room for one dragon, and now it is Ichiban.
I started playing the LaD games after I was fired, a few months ago. I've haven't been able to find a job since, and my unemployment is about to run out. I've been really deep in a hole, but seeing Kiryu, a character I've bonded with heavily recently, choose to take the hard path and live after seeing all his friends affirm they want him in their life, I'm going to keep at it. There's been some dark moments (Chapter 3: Taiga Saejima), but I'm gonna do it because it's worth it. Maybe not now, but eventually. Thanks, Kiryu. You truly are Like a Dragon.
At 8:48, it doesn’t matter how long it’s been since I’ve played 6, or what kind of mood I’m in, I will always break down seeing Kiryu take his final steps away from Morning Glory as Haruto takes his first.
Rest in peace kazuma kiryu chan, you've been the best legendary dragon of Dojima, for all we know. It's time for the dragon to rest, and come back again, when the time is right. Jo Amon might not have another rival to fight against, but.. Everyone dies at some point. Fly high, kazuma kiryu, Jo Amon, will miss your presence, even as a rival. "having a rival who fights you constantly, is better than a fake friend that betrays you."
Because this song is the tribute to Kiryu, Majima, Saejima, Akiyama, Haruka, Tanimura, Shinada, Daigo, Yagami, Kaito, Ichiban, John Marston, Arthur Morgan, and every GTA Protagonist
🥺🥺🥺😢😢so many memories and incredible moments of this series. Kiryu is one of the most impactful characters in gaming. I feel he is one of the most grounded characters in video games (whereas an icon like Kratos is more fantasy and yet he has had an incredible journey growing and maturing as a character) Kiryu has always been grounded but has had one of the most emotional and amazing growth in this series and it’s needed and necessary for him to move on and retire to let the Dragon finally rest❤️😭
I love these song's the sendoff to kiryu is first sad then a feeling of overwhelming strength (which ngl i can hear a bit of a for violence song in a part) and then finally a triumphant yet sad theme that tells us no matter what illness he has kazuma kiryu refuses to die hes going to get his happy ending
I see these songs as emblematic of Kiryu, Ichiban, then them together respectively. Still good footage use during the song. Whether Kiryu appears in 9 or is just quietly retired I’m unsure but I am glad he has had the rest he so surely needs.
Kiryu, you can take some vacation now. All you'r life was fighting for protecting everyone you loved.. Now, you can rest, Ichiban is here, even if the Dojima no Ryu will never get surpassed in my hearts
This mix really hits hard, it perfectly captures the dragon's legacy and what he had to go through to achieve his long awaited rest. I'm glad to know that he will finally be able to have a peaceful life Great video and cheers!
I was hoping to see Kiryu married Sayama, but instead he wounded up in the hospital. Although I would love to see Yagami dating Mafuyu after he gets back together with her again, and that he have happiest life with her after getting married in Judgment 3.
If judgement 3 happens I think Mafuyu and Yagami might start to date again but the one to marry is probably Kaito and Mikiko he did say he want her back but did not mention to marry her. But I do agree about Mafuyu and Yagami they ditched their relationship on LJ so it could be nice they focus on Judgement 3 properly
Bro did you read the news kimura contact finish he can’t do another think about it I’m with your opinion J3 will be great but it’s enough to the agency who will take yagami role nobody he took it after his drama 5 star michin kitchen story drama ( I forgot the name) anyway it will be the last yakuza with tekken
Watching this i just noticed that in most of these dynamic shots kiryu holds one of his palms open, could be my imagination but it reminds me how his dragon holds his hand open to hold the ball of dragon power -i read what the ball is from that one tumblr page-
i have a feeling this isnt the last time the old dragon rests sure, ichiban is the dragon now, but when the time comes maybe the howl of a dragon god will come this way, and when he does ill be waiting, waiting seconds, hours, days, months, years, and decades ill always check up and wait, because a dragon will always live on, atleast one way or another but for now, the dragon of dojima shall rest.
Thanks you yakuza serie thanks you kiryu kazuma the is end i very worry and i very happy to plays yakuza game i very love serie game yakuza and thanks you for all kiryu dragon of dojima and bon voyage bye.... 😢
Imo IW has surpassed 0 handily. Post nagoshi rgg studios has really been knocking it out of the park. Heres hoping for kiwami 3 and the third judgment installment in the future. Can't wait.
imo 0 had way better pacing and better writing and more charismatic characters(you can’t beat Dojima lieutenants) but IW is def up there with 0 and Lost Judgment
Best soundtrack for the Tribute of Kiryu, Majima, Akiyama, Saejima, Daigo, Haruka, Ichiban, Yagami, Kaito, John Marston, Arthur Morgan, And every GTA Protagonist. And also I will use this song after I finished Grand Theft Auto VI
do you happen to know what the OST is that appears in komaki's and chau's substories? i cant find it. for reference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dj6ct10Vq6E.htmlsi=m4cJnSRUx5fSUjsQ&t=542 Chau's, timestamp 9:02 ^^ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KiBcPRLwX50.htmlsi=MfoiZovf6zFpzC0d&t=174 Komaki's, Timestamp 2:54
You know the remix of Recieve You they play in 7 when Kiryu shows up? They reused it in IW when he puts on his original suit. Is there a rip of that one somewhere? I cant find it
