Lost Judgment OST Disc.2 - 17 Unwavering Belief 

Company: Ok, so this ex-lawyer and ex-teacher are having an epic brawl in a warehouse, we need something for that Composer: anime hero fighting a god for the fate of the universe.mp3

Makes it easy to forget it's a lawyer and a high school teacher.

THIS IS LITERALLY A THEME FOR TWO MIDDLE AGED DUDES FIGHITNG IN A WAREHOUSE WHY DOES IT SOUND LIKE THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE IS AT STAKE

I love how a battle between a teacher and lawyer in a warehouse god knows where has a theme where it sounds like Judgment day is upon us.

"The way I see this, Tak, you and Kuwana both have your reasons." "Something to consider, but between the both of you, is there really a right answer"

Ben Belief vs John Judgment

"It was me all along. I was the Lost Judgment." *music plays*

keep in mind this plays when a lawyer and a high school teacher fight in a warehouse

She can't say her piece without a voice. So if I don't raise mine for her, What justice prevails!?

3:45 I cried when he said "cheese on the wall"

This is definitely me when I'm a detective ex-lawyer fighting a serial killer ex-teacher in a warehouse over a popsicle

Everyone (myself included) gets fed up with Yagami pulling the Sawa-sensei card again and again, but the game itself offers a great explanation: people hate to reflect. Seeing yourself reduced to the harm you've caused, a tangible stain you've left on the world, causes everyone but the most monstrous of us to avert their eyes. This is actually tackled in the Photography club school story, and handled with the bluntness it deserves. When Toribe holds the photos of the wallet snatcher, the biker kids, and [SPOILER] up to them, they look away. Seeing themselves so low causes them pain, and that's what leads them to repent. When it comes to Kuwana, being reminded of the innocent blood on his hands has the same effect. He averts his gaze and feels regret for the bloodstains he's left behind, which makes me believe that a less hardened Kuwana would've conceded Yagami's point. If he'd been shown his consequences early on his warpath, Kuwana might've reconsidered. Unfortunately, Kuwana's too far gone. He's killed plenty who deserved it; what would collateral damage count for in the grand scheme of things? But that's exactly what Yagami can't let him get away with; reducing his students' lives to collateral damage. He constantly forces Kuwana and Kusumoto to reflect, to understand their consequences, and it wounds them. Kusumoto almost goes through with her repentance, but a spark of hope is enough to reignite her resolve after five years of her fire going cold. As easy as it is to meme on Yagami for constantly using the Sawa card, there is a reason given in the very same game. All it takes is level 5 Teamwork and myriad completion of various other school stories to get to a five-minute microcosm 💀

Unfortunately, this game wasn't mentioned in The Game Awards. This game is 10/10 for me.

I honestly think Kuwana is up there with Nishiki, Ryuji, Kuze, etc. in terms of the best antagonists in the franchise. Everything about him is compelling - whether you sympathize with or revile him - he serves as a phenomenal foil for Yagami like Ryuji was for Kiryu, and he's got an incredible series of boss fights.

People: "it's a teacher vs a lawyer, how can that be epic?" Me: Walter White vs Phoenix Wright.

You know a character is well written when people are having in-depth discussions about him in the comments

Ah yes the theme of amazon warehouse workers

The intro and the second phase starting at 3:11 have made this my favorite final boss theme after Ishin's 'Assassination of Boddhisattva'. Also final bosses fighting you with a near-identical fighting style to your own is so fucking badass.

"You may have succeeded, but you have Lost your Judgement Kuwana" - Yagami, probably

Finally, the proper ending. Now I can rest easy

Kuwana was such a good addition to the main cast as a foil for Yagami. You may not agree with everything he's doing, or condone him resorting to murder, but at the same time, you understand his perspective and why he does what he does. It's like Yagami's facing a mirror, and a dark truth that the law has its limits and bullies do go free after their victims commit suicide. Both want justice for innocent victims who suffered due to an unfair law and justice system, but their paths differed, and it really makes you think and come to your own conclusions on whether one side is right, or the other, or they both are. Makes me think of Tales of Vesperia, specifically the moment where Yuri kills Cumore and Flynn confronts him about it. Yagami's Flynn and Kuwana's Yuri.

It has both elements of A Scattered Moment and Assassination of Bodhisattva, and in the context of the story of Kuwana being like Ryuji-type of character to Yagami makes it even better and more personal to the soundtrack.

"It's a theme for two middle aged men fighting in a warehouse for their beliefs, shouldn't it be depressing or tense?" Sega Sound team:

We making it out of Kuwana's freezer with this one!

The last part doesn't sounds like just Kuwana's theme. It's literally his determination and wills to accomplish his goal, or most likely the summary of entire game's story. All I can say is "Holy shit."

When yagami said “ I may have lost my judgment, but my belief is unwavering.” I was so hyped for this dynamic intro to play with this track too

lost judgement is one of many games that actually puts value in a characters death, you aren't mowing through lines of innocent people and calling it a day. Here, its where the life of those who are caught in the crossfire become the main star on why the story grows more intense, Kuwana finds retribution justifiable while Yagami puts focus on his collateral damage, its an argument no one can win, and its what makes the game awesome

“YOU DON’T GET IT YAGAMI! I MAY HAVE LOST MY JUDGMENT, BUT I WILL FLY WITH MY UNWAVERING BELIEF! I WILL DEFEAT YOU WITH THE MAXIMUM ILL LUCK!” “I will show you how Kiwami I can be, then. I will defeat you, FOR FAITH!”

Kuwana: *Has a perfectly understandable motivation for his heinous acts, to the point where even your detective buddy doesnt outright disagree with him* Yagami: Fuck you its illegal, Sawa-sensei, Dragon Crushing Fist.

When Yagami said to kuwana "you were lost and I am judgment ' I truly knew it's was the game of all times

I'm really loving the trend of the final bosses having the same pose as Yagami. Kuroiwa's poses mirrored Yagami's, and Kuwana's was interlocked with him.

5:47 THIS PART IS INSANE WTFFFF

My cousin is a high school teacher. Ill have to ask him if he has had to or plans to fight a lawyer in a warehouse.

This theme is both amazing and hilarious like imagine having your friend who never played lost judgment listen to this and then he asks "bro this theme is amazing what's the fight about?" and then you tell him the fight is about a high school teacher and a lawyer fighting about bullying

Who do you choose? A broken man because being a lawyer. Or A broken man because being a teacher.

why the FUCK is this not on spotify

Mine: (Has the best final boss theme) Kuroiwa: "I'm boutta end this man's whole career" Kuwana: *"I'll fuckin do it again"*

Holy shit, that ending.

I know people like to make fun of this soundtrack for being overly dramatic given the setting, but I think it's fitting. It captures the clash between morals and the inner turmoil of the two fighters perfectly. You can make out both the sadness, the anger, and the sheer conviction that reflect their conflicting feelings during this fight. They're two sides of the same coin, two wildly different yet fundamentally similar answers to the same question, seeking the same thing through different means. There is no right and wrong, no clear-cut answer, and there is no compromise between. The only path forward is a confrontation, and only the one with the stronger conviction will get to decide who's right and what happens next. And I think this theme fits perfectly for all of that.

"I've lost my judgement and this is KIWAMI!"

Quite possibly the best antagonist in the Yakuza series. MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR LOST JUDGMENT Kuwana wanted nothing but justice for families who lost their children to bullying, but with the death of Sawa, who was innocent, and him trying to not think about it really put him at odds with Yagami.

Despite the many people that agree with Kuwana, which I understand myself, I find myself agreeing with Yagami instead. There's a reason you're NOT playing as Kuwana. Killing those bullies must be satisfying, but is it really righteous? And his willingness to kill Yagami and his friends to hide the truth really shows his darker side as well. And near the end, Yagami tells him that covering the truth isn't fair for anyone, even the woman Kuwana was trying to protect realized her mistake in the end. But maybe there's potential for Kuwana to change from this, who knows.

Yagami: Kuwana you neeed to stop this! Have you completely Lost Judgment?! *unwavering belief starts playing*

5:45 I'm sorry but that ending segment is so incredibly good it's insane

HHGRHGRHGHRG THE ENDING PART WHERE THEYRE LIKE OHHH OHH H OHHHH OHHHHHHHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHH IS SO SICK

Probably the best and most intense boss theme rgg has made... for one of their spin-offs.

The part at 4:09 where the main melody kicks in again is SO GOOD.

This shit shouldn't go this hard, it's just a lawyer and a teacher fighting each other lmao. Probably my favorite Yakuza game so far.

>Die to Kuwana in the final fight >Uninstall the game >Tell everyone you finished Lost Judgment and got the good ending

*SPOILERS* Yagami looks at Kuwana intensely, before saying: "This one is my fight, guys." Kuwana looks back at him with the same intensity. Kaito looks at his best friend, and speaks his mind: "The way I see it, Tak, Kuwana's makin' sense too. Just consider it, but, is there really a right answer here?" He backs off, along with Sugiura. Kuwana suddenly grabs his phone with the bomb button screen tighter than usual. Flashbacks of his time as a teacher, when Sawa reported Mitsuru's bullying, and when all the bullies threw each other under the bus are playing in his head in rapid succession. "She was the last person I wanted to get mixed up in all this shit." he says to himself. But now, it's too late to get eaten alive by regrets. He's gone too far in his path for that to happen. He throws his phone on the ground, before charging at Yagami with a blood-curdling scream. Both mean try to hit each other, but fail and fall to the ground before getting back up immediately. Their inevitable clash, the fight between their unwavering beliefs, has started. And there's no turning back. *Jin Kuwana*

I’d argue that that experiencing the story this game has to tell should be a pre-requisite for anyone who’s considering going into any sort of employment at schools. What a god tier game.

There is no Ex teacher vs Ex lawyer. Only Detective vs Serial Killer👍🏻 Thank you RGG for such a Masterpiece.

i love it when song title "unwavering beliefs" reflecting two sides of same justice coin, both sticks to their ideals. justice is blind, which one is the right one

"The way I see it, Tak, Kuwana's making sense too." "Just consider it, but, is there really a right answer here?"

Sega’s music department is no joke

Hell damn, those 3 years just passed really fast, and i still remember my favourite song...

真相を求め進む者 真相を隠し進む者 揺るぎない信念を持つ2人の最後の戦い

This is the same game where you can go against some highschool nerds in toy battles

When Kuwana said: What is a man but his Unwavering Belief Then Tak answered: You've lost your Judgment but my eyes will judge you And then the music kicked in....... CINEMA

Sega had the fire department on speed dial while the sound team was working on lost judgement 🔥🔥🔥

Nah, if you really were the kind of scum we won't have come down here. You wouldn't be kind the person worth saving. This one is my fight, guys

This theme is a mix of A Scattered, Eternal Moment and Assassination of Bodhisattva. What a banger

Calling it now: This and Viper are gonna be the most view soundtrack of the game, -now waiting for the Full Spec Edition- Oh and the OG Judgment OST poster is back after 2 years lol

Why the hell isn’t this on Spotify!?

The beat didn’t have to go that hard at 4:38 lol Chefs kiss

「お前ら2人どっちが正しいか答えなんてあんのか？」

the buildup is just fucking insane with that dynamic intro like holy shit

Finished this game at like 1am and wow, what a game. Definitely one of my new favorites up there in the series!

The choirs at 3:41 did it for me. There has never been a boss fight in any game, let alone Yakuza, that has made me feel as emotional as I did fighting Kuwana. What a guy and what a tune.

タイトルも曲自体も両方良すぎる

Every time I listen to this music, I feel that RGG Studio's soundtrack is underestimated. Certain games tend to monopolize music awards at game award ceremonies, and I hope this series qualifies someday. The music of this game deserves to be nominated for the best game soundtrack.

The best Yakuza game no cap

Never thought a Private Detective fighting a former high school teacher in a warehouse would have such an epic song lol

Does Yagami ever say "l may have lost my judgement, but my belief is unwavering"? l've seen it mentioned countless times but l dont remember him saying this. If he did, did he say it in the english or japanese version?

Ah yes the ethical dilemma between preventing a guy from being stigmatised vs exposing the truth so that more innocents don't die.

I kneeled so fucking hard, absolute kino

Im upset that the fact this song isn't on the official Judgment and Lost Judgment OST on spotify

Penumbra and this song have diametrically opposed vibes

Maybe in another reality, Kuwana could've been a member of Yagami Detective Agency...

Sawa sensei shouldn't have been killed, but she lost her life as a result being in touch with Kuwana. No matter how much Kuwana justifies his form of justice, but there will always be Sawa sensei who didn't do anything, but still lost her life that's why Yagami kept bringing her because that's the hole in Kuwana's form of Justice that innocents will lose their life, if he continues that path. Whereas Yagami being relying on Law too much and there will be innocent people who will not get justice and the criminals will get away with it because of lack of evidence, that's why Kuwana keeps bringing Mitsuru because he was a victim of the law which couldn't give him justice. Thus this battle of right and wrong is just a matter of perspectives and this battle will keep going on forever because there is no single answer.

On one side lawful justice who believe that justice can prevail when the truth comes out even if that means good people suffer. The other side chaotic justice who has no belief in the system and serves their own justice by any means, even murder.

I don´t support Kuwana so I like to think the screams in here (which were being cut in "Dig in your heels") are his guilt finally coming out of his bottle, he needs to activate the bomb to destroy the body, but killing Yagami and friends could made him worse than the people he killed, his self-righteousness can´t protect him here, thats his frustration at the start of the fight, but also after this battle you can see he feel as guilty over Kusumoto, thats why he did all this, to kill his guilt, him crying on his knees show it.

Kusumoto simp vs Sawa simp

Still RGG’s best game and final boss theme. Rivals Two Dragons and Metempsychosis if anything.

People keep saying that Kuwana did the right thing, that bully should be killed. But here the thing Their death won't stop bully as a problem. Why? Because the general public don't know they used to be bully. All the public see, is murder victim number 5, 6 or 7. The bully will never understand their action have consenquence, until they in a body bag. Yagami method, while cheesy, worked, as shown in the ending

How they can top this?

BUT WHAT ABOUT SAWA SENSEI

Going by ear but i hear the choir singing this: Kids on the street Tears on the road No answered call Says, kill for them Cops on the way Fish on the shore Just answer them Lord, take them home I hope this is correct because if it is it perfectly describes Kuwana's view perfectly. Hes doing what he thinks is right

everyone's talking about the ending but 4:37 is pretty epic too especially when the guitar came in

Two Justices confronted... not one I have my heart fully behind. Who is right in such fight is never the important thing. In the end for me, the only important thing was to fight! Victory will not determine the right in this fight. But one thing is certain: the fight will end, but NEVER the struggle of their unwavering beliefs!!

*"You have bested me.....I guess you really are the true Lost Judgement....."*

3:45 I can't unhear "JIZZ ON THE WALL"

kog is powerful viper is scary unwavering belief is fateful

Settle the score with Jin Kuwana “Let’s see whose resolve is stronger!”

You know Kuwana is great because he made you root for him and his belief.. I can't disagree with him by the fact that he only punishes bullies, and that is also the thing that made people have dividing opinions of his beliefs and (extreme) actions
