Kiryu: "Now that I've erased my name and come to this temple, no one and nothing from my past life can find me anymore." *he slides the door open and sees a man dressed as a monk waiting for him on the other side* Majima: "Kiryu-chan!"
I mean he's very polite I'd like to think that even in emergency cases of self defense he would use rubber bullets, but I mean that's just my take on this new guy
It’s like what his tattoo interprets. He is always getting himself drag back into the life no matter how many times even faking his death he kept coming back
Holy shit. The Ishhin remake, 8 with Kiryu and Ichi teaming up, and now a Kiryu interquel? We're going to be eating well in the next couple of years, it seems. This says it takes place between 6 and 8, so I'm hoping we'll get the boss fight in 7 from Kiryu's perspective as the thing tying the two games together.
@@naliboi93 Oh yes. Even if they go with just the four original party members and not the whole crew, that's still a quadruple boss-fight where we can't hit one of the bosses.
@@naliboi93 i think that they'll put him against Ichiban, Adachi, Nanba, Joon-gi Han, and Zhao. Saeko will probably just stand there cheering for the 5 of them
i really didn't expect there to be 3 new games, but i love it! even after kiryu has been running from yakuza game after game, this one looks and feels entirely different now that he's under this new mysterious faction
I think this might be in part why they're finally changing the localised title from Yakuza to Like A Dragon. After 7, the yakuza don't really have a place in the world.
@@jsward96 Technically, Like a Dragon already was the name of the series in Japan. Yakuza was just the localized name. The fact that they used Yakuza: Like a Dragon to adjust the name series, however, was brilliant, yes.
@@megahellreaper *Ryu Ga Gotoku was the series. RGG 7 was known as Like A Dragon. Singular game that they’re now using the title of for future installments, it seems.
its nice that yakuza series is adding more spin offs :D its like with Judgment completely new cast in a new enviornmant :o this time we are going more into world of politics
It makes no sense. They gave Kiryu a perfect ending and Nagoshi and Sato made it clear they wanted to end his story once and for all because he was getting too old. Now that they both left SEGA, they immediately disrespected their wishes(and the majority of the team's wishes) to ruin his story and bring him back for no reason other than CASH.
Nooo, Yakuza 6 was supposed to be his last one, now he is stealing the show from Ichiban on Yakuza 8 and have his own Yakuza game. This is too much, Sega cleary don't know what they are doing since Nagoshi left
So for me is a Game to fill the gaps between Yakuza 6 and 7 (He is going to do a bodyguard job, like in Yakuza 7). Also seeing he is appearing in 8, I hope It also makes an explanation why is he appearing in that game presumebly as a main character.
SEGA and Ryu studio - You don’t even realize how great you guys are! Thank you a lot for all these efforts. I wish you more and more support. It always pays back.
This just goes to show how beloved Kiryu remains by the fans of the franchise, even after 17 years and seven games, the desire to want to know more of the legend still grows. Here marks a new era, one defined by a man seeking requisition of his own humanity after putting his past of underworldly pleasures behind.
Im glad as long as the ending of six was definitive and Yakuza 6 was a clsoing chapter to that part of Kiryu. Regardless im glad we get more from RGG and Kiryu
As someone who was...miffed at Kiryu's ending in 6, I'm glad he's getting another chance at some closure that hopefully won't involve secret battleships.
This was so unexpected. It's really a good time to be a Yakuza fan!! I'm beyond thrilled to have Kiryu return to the series. The ending of Yakuza 6 was so emotional but it left me with some unanswered questions. I always wondered what Kiryu was up to after he left his family behind. And during the events of Yakuza 7. So glad we'll get to experience his perspective once again. RGG really spoiling us with 3 new games and I'm here for it.
When you join a life of crime you always get a sad ending. But I’m not ready for my boi Kiryu to live a miserable life without his family I’m glad his back
I'm all about these announcements! Ishin, Like a Dragon 8 and now this! YES 1000 times YES! The only way I could be smiling more than I am now is with more Yagami!
You know what’s gonna be great about this game? Not the return to the old fighting styles, not the story, but the fact that we will finally get to hear Darryl Kurylo sing karaoke and talk to some hostesses among other excellent minigames
Kiryu getting sent to America and having to listen to him speak english Mine-style does sound pretty amusing "Haru, ai am ruking fo Kaoru Sayama. Du yu now wer zhi is?"
Yep. Honestly though, I feel this was just meant to be a small peek into "Joryu's" life. That's it. The timeframe covered in Gaiden itself was a bit more...condensed than what I was expecting, but no complaints there; I think it was pretty good, for sure :) EDIT: Adjusted grammar for second paragraph. EDIT 2: Wait, I'm dumb. The prologue for this game literally comes after this cutscene. As the in-game cutscene viewer calls it, "Roppongi, 2018." My B.
Since that person mentioned Kiryu unable to let go of his family, I wonder if the game will fill us in on what happened with Haruka, and maybe other close affiliates of Kiryu like Akiyama, Majima, Saejima, Shinada, etc
Hope there's some more exploration between Kiryu and Haruka. Like she knows he's out there but can't come back sorta deal. The way he had to leave clearly weighs on him.
If u think back to the near end of yakuza 6 when they were on the boat heading to rescue Haruto , kiryu tells hirose that there’s something he hasn’t told them that wasn’t making any sense & ask him how the saio triad were linked to onomichi. Then hirose states that chairman Kurusu and Big Lo’s dad , previous leader of the saio triads, were connected dating back to world war 2 an estimated 70 years ago. Then he says they went separate ways and connected again 30 years later and the thing bringing them back together was the whole heihaizi human trafficking ordeal. Then nagumo says something ab the secret of onomichi and then Matsunaga says he has somewhat of an ideas of what may be going on behind scenes. Then says that he’s heard about karusu having connections with a “fixer” who “controls all of Japan behind the scenes”. Then yuta states the name of this “fixer” the name being “Minoru Daidoji”. They also say that every scandal after the times of war were pinned on him and that he’s “basically an old fart that nobody likes”. If my theory is right then this brief context was pretty much like an Easter egg they threw in to hint where the storyline was heading after the game ended. Im almost 1000% sure that the daidoji from this trailer is the exact same one being mentioned in the conversation above from yakuza 6. And the way they gave emphasis on the power held by daidoji saying he runs all of Japan behind the scenes and now we see kiryu here in the trailer with a new “code name” and having a brief struggle forgetting his past life because of his family, etc … just all adds up to perfectly if you ask me. I’m on to something here🧐🤔
Can't hold my tears, I know Kiryu is alive and well, but to see him lad 8 and lad gaiden brings me so much joy. Not mention we're finally getting ishin
Looks like I picked the perfect time to replay every game in the series. And just yesterday I was complaining to myself about how they haven't released Isshin. Now they're working on that too. Fucking fantastic. 😍
Just can't let Kiryu go, can you? Gave the dude 2 send-offs, and he's still coming back. You could make a game about Akiyama or Saejima, people would like that, and it wouldn't feel forced. No, gotta drag poor old Kiryu out again for another "last" adventure.
Pretty happy overall that we can get these kind of spin offs and they seem to be getting as much care as the main games. Never been a better time to be a Yakuza fan than now.
I think that Kiryu stills has many things to show us , I think this is a great opportunity to show a wiser Kiryu and we may see more personal things about him because now he is like a new person and he does not have the relationship of father/daughter with Haruka so this may be a chance to see a more private story ( like Yakuza 0 ) Just My oppinion tough
God damn RGG studios. We are EATING GOOD as Yakuza fans. I can't wait for these new titles. I hope Kenzan and Dead Souls make a comeback eventually haha
WOW. They tied this back to Yakuza 6 with the Daidoji political faction that Kiryu made a deal with and now his situation seems to be a consequence of the stunt of getting involved in dissolving the Tojo and Omi in Y7. Seems the Daidoji political faction has a tighter leash on Kiryu in that he is a government dog and he has changed his identity. Glad they didn’t just allowed Kiryu to do what he did in Y7 without it biting him in the ass. Look forward to what they’re going to do with him.
In y7 everybody is like i know you would comeback , the dragon of dojima is back , where did you find him? I don’t even know him . That means that the identity of ,,Kiryu“ is dead and he is a new person which means in Yakuza Like A dragon gaiden they show us how he acquired this new identity 🔥🔥🔥
And to think Kiryu has finally have his rest. Turns out, restlessness always found him first… I’m super curious to see how this goes! I wonder if this will be a shorter one shot or a lengthy one like the previous Yakuza Games.
I bought in 2018 the ps4 for yakuza 6 and now in 2023 I will buy the ps5 for like a dragon gaiden thats how much I love Kiryu Kazuma! But before that like a dragon Ishin, what a good time for kiryu fans 😎
So glad he’s back. Song of Life wasn’t the ending Kiryu deserved imo. Gameplay wise It didn’t live up to it either. SUPER hype for all 3 new games coming. Time to play RGG 7!
I wonder if this game will have Kiryus style switching. He had it in 7 and it'd be cool to see an explanation of how and/or why he decided to relearn the styles.
I'm so glad we're getting another story just for Kiryu. As much as I love Yakuza 6, it's ending never sat right with me. I'm hoping that this game and Like A Dragon 8 can improve it for me. Either way, I'm very excited to play this and hope we get a real release date soon.
I mean in the second thing was mainly originally they wanted to end the Kiryu Saga before moving somewhere else ( even though you'll become even though he came briefly 6 as well the upcoming 8) and this will probably explain why he came been doing in between games ended up to eight
What feels even more wrong is that how despite everything he's given up in Y6 he still ended up as - pardon me - a lapdog of the Fixers'/deep state's. Like how they let him out in Y7 not to stop Aoki's descent into madness, but just to bar the latter from usurping political power from the old guards. Probably he has more dirty work lined up for him in this title. Still super stoked about the game though - probably they'll explain how he ended up as the dude in 8, presumably (and hopefully) no longer under the shackles of those guys.
In my head canon, Kiryu left everything behind , inharited the komaki school and he is now teaching the next generation of street warriors while old man komaki retires
