"This is a good beat-em-up game" I ignored a blind girl locked up in a shed for 10 hours to run the best Cabaret Club in Japan.

Remember guys.... Kiryu has never killed anyone ever

The best part of Yakuza series fights is how after you inflict life-threatening injury on the opponent, they get up, apologize, and give you an energy drink.

I like these guys, they don't criticise the game, because they know its a game. They just enjoy it cause it looks cool.

"This is a good beat em up game" Well 90% of the game is you going to karaoke, pocket circuit, disco and going to restaurants to eat different foods

Part 2 with Majima’s styles?

So often, experts will be overly serious with their reactions and analysis, usually just saying before the video "I know it's just a video game but let's see how it holds up in real life." these people get it, they get that yakuza is closer to a goofy Hong kong action flick than a real martial arts performance, and they can appreciate the pure chaos it's supposed to be. This duo is great

‘I’m a tree’ Immediately imagined Majima posing to ambush Kiryu

"Sheer numbers wouldve overwhelmed him" Cue kiryu fighting 100 guys armed with bats, guns, and rocket launchers, singlehandedly, unarmed. And wins

"and that is it for the Yakuza series" you missed MAJIMA

My comment is gonna get buried after 6 months, but hey. I wanted to add something about Kiryu's fighting styles : In all the Yakuza games but especially in 0, Kiryu is a pure product of japanese fighting / martial arts culture. Japan has a huge love for fighting and a big martial arts culture, with the biggest and most widespread being karate, judo, boxing, kickboxing (and by extension muay thai), and you can add pro wrestling too as it is absolutely MASSIVE in Japan and a lot of wrestlers have transitioned into MMA starting in the 80's with Satoru Sayama, culminating with Pancrase in the 90's. On top of that, japanese media has created a sort "delinquent" fighting style, with big swings / power punches and inspiration from pro wrestling, a screen only fighting style that you can easily see in movies like Crows Zero, Demekin, Elite Yankee, etc. It's associated with young delinquents, which themselves are more associated with the 1980's. Kiryu's fighting styles are basically based on this. In 0, Kiryu can choose between 4 styles, the last one being a combination of the previous 3. You have the BRAWLER style which is, coherently with the character's young age in 0, based on the delinquent / "yankee" fighting style seen in movies, all about big swings / soccer kicks / big push kicks and dirty judo style throws ; the RUSH style which is based on boxing and kickboxing with some muay thai style kicks for the power moves, the BEAST style which is an all strength style and based on pro wrestling, particularly the japanese "Strong Style". The last style, DRAGON or LEGEND, is a combination of all of them : you have punches from boxing, kicks that are more karate like (with, like noted in the video, proper chamberings and good form), throws that are inspired by both judo (osotogaris !) and pro wrestling ; all wrapped into a brutal, street-fighting looking style. It's very interesting how coherent these styles are related to the character. Chronologically, Yakuza 0 is about Kiryu's youth, but is the sixth game in the franchise ; and the Dragon / Legend style had been so far Kiryu's style for the previous fifth. In the context of 0, with how inexperienced he is compared to the other games, it makes sense that he would have a unrefined style, then learn proper stuff, to end up combining everything. It makes a lot more sense too considering Toshihiro Nagoshi, Yakuza's creator, wanted to make a 100% japanese game and wasn't looking to export it. The way Kiryu fights is completely coherent with that. Even more when in the first game, he gets lessons by a master of traditional arts. The fighting styles are one of my favourite things about this franchise.

Now after showing them the brutality of the fights in this game. Show them the karaoke

"The style is very unrefined" Glad she noticed how Kiryu in Yakuza 0 just went ham on people with no regard to any real kind of martial arts lol. His fighting style gets way more refined by the time kiwami 2 comes around and they merged all the styles together

Should’ve told em that Kiryu has never canonically killed someone.

Trauma experts react to Yakuza fights. I wanna see them analyze the damage Majima and Kiryuu can do

0:35 *"THAT'S RAD!"*

"And that's it for the Yakuza series" Majima: 👁👄⚫ Edit: they did it and Majima is happy

Now, we watch as Kiryu finishes his fight, enters a bar, and begins to sing Baka Mitai, then Gemma and Yoshi react to it, then sing along to it. It's the only way to complete the Yakuza experience.

I really want them to see Yagami's moveset in the spinoff, Judgement. Since that character is an actual martial artist with some sick ass attacks.

0:23 i was like she's real life chun-li a second before the chun-li cosplay popped up LMAO

Kiryu is an angel. That’s why his suit can’t get dirty with blood.

Majima: Literally hits a guy in the head with 2 full-strength swings of a baseball bat Random thug: Sorry, I learned my lesson

5:40 That is gotta be the most painful-looking atomic drop I've ever seen.

"that is what is called a double legged dropkick" Me:There's a single legged dropkick?

"And this is it for the yakuzs series" Majima: am I a joke to you?

No Majima break dance his enemies to oblivion 4/10

I love watching Gemma & Yoshi's reactions, I hope they do more of these.

5:40 Yoshi just IMMEDIATELY felt all of it

"Sheer numbers would overpower this guy" Not him, not the dragon of dojima.

Doctors react and diagnose Yakuza injuries and heat actions. Getting shot on specific areas what to do if you survived that heat or something.

I love it when y'all two react! Such great commentary 🔥🔥

“If I get tattoos will I have firey hand too?” I actually laughed out loud and now my co workers are staring at me.

Damn, I thought they'd show Majima's Fighting Styles too in this! That has to be another episode!

Yoshi: *Doesn't mention being the Blue Power Ranger* Gemma: AND HE'S THE BLUE POWER RANGER

These two have the most natural commentary ever! They are really funny too! I loved every second of this video!

Highly recommend this game to anyone who hasn’t played it. Awesome story with so many side silly/goody side missions to take a break from the main storys drama. Perfect mix

Next video: Real idols reacts to Haruka's gameplay in Yakuza 5

4% of comments: Jokes and statements Other 96% of comments: THE MAD DOG OF SHIMANO NEEDS A VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOO

love your reactions on Yakuza 0 Fights. I expected that you guys would have overwhelming reactions when it comes to Yakuza Game. please do more with the rest of the series.

“With sheer numbers you will be overwhelmed” *flash back to Kiryu vs 50-75 Tojo yakuza in yakuza 5*

Kiryu has grown on me, he is such a monster beating everyone that stands on his way but at the same time , he is the nicest and kindest game characters I've seen, i love these games

"Sheer numbers, you will be overwhelmed" Kiryu" *switches to Beast fighting style*

This was a great watch!

8:11 I can’t believe they missed/didn’t react to Kiryu’s ultimate heat action in the Dragon of Dojima fight style, would have love to see their take on it.

"that's sexy" SOMEONE GETS IT

we just gonna ignore the fact that Kiryu’s holding ¥2 billion lmao

0:55 I like how they made it obvious that they were reading in-game descriptions

They should've shown Majima as well, he has a different style. Also, should've shown more QTEs with bosses.

The most powerful attack is Kiryu singing BakaMitai

YESSSS AT LAST THANKS YOU GUYS

These videos are helping me get through quarantine 💯🔥

0:34 "That's (pretty) rad" SHE KNOWS

Martial Artists react to Judgment, it's a Yakuza spinoff but it's more Kung fu elements. You could've have them reacted to Majima too cause he has more martial arts moves and heat actions.

Not as much raw information as I would have hoped but their chemistry and reactions are really entertaining and nice to watch

YOU NEEDTO MAKE THESE GUYS REACT TO ABSOLVER. I can tell they’ll love it.

"that is it for the Yakuza series" LMAO girl not even CLOSE

I love how they eventually just got onboard with the concept that Kiryu is... Well he's basically not a human being considering how fucking strong he is. One thing that I would've been interested in but what wasn't touched on here due to no scenes where it really shows in-game is what they think of the fights when considering that Kiryu is basically a fucking giant. Jesus christ why is he so tall Edit: It's also implied several times that Kiryu basically has the strength of prime time Mike Tyson behind them punches. Basically he's a monster.

We need a part 2. With Majima's moves, but also all of the revelations (Learning Rush, Beast, Slugger, and Breaker cutscene). Also the essence of relentless barrage, essence of torment, ultimate essence 88 (they missed it in this one), essence of wall smashing, etc.

1:13 “I love that you can mess with the environment.” Uh...

7:21 ah, I see you know the secret Joestar family technique

It can’t be their only reaction to this series. There’s so much more to cover. Plus, their reactions to some of them were entertaining.

"The disarming is very Aikido influenced" I don't think Aikido teaches you to shatter your opponents elbow with your knee.

Nice video, loved the reactions. I just finished this game about 2 weeks ago and then Kiwami this past week.

Man, I know this is just Yakuza 0 but everyone forgets about Best Boy Akiyama, Tanimura, Saejima and even Shinada, from the later entries.

We need part 2 for majima´s moves. And more quick time events from the boss fights.

The "I dont CHAIR what you think" got me and I laughed.

I hoped you'd react to more characters fight styles. Would love to see a part 2!

they should have reacted to judgement or a yakuza character that had a more pronounced fighting style like akiyama or tanimura from yakuza 4

I like how she says "we're not looking for some super clean form", when my man Kiryu just punched and kicked tigers in the face in Kiwami 2😂

Gemma and Yoshi crack me up with their comments to these fighting games they are hilarious 😂 🤣😆

And... This is literally how i learned to fight. Thank you Yakuza series

where is majima? how do you completely ignore 50% of the damn game?

Kind of sad that they didn't show Majima in action, these reactions are really awesome they should react next to the fighting in Judgment

I wanna see their reaction to the "Pliers" heat move. It's always stuck with me, and if you've seen it you'll know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean, and you have Yakuza 0, you can find it in the empty square beside the Kamurucho temple. There's often randomly generated events happening there, so pay attention to the ground there when in Brawler style.

i hope he played it since this cause i just finished the series and i cant describe my love for it as a series

"if you have 15 guys in a fight your gonna be overwhelmed" Well don't you worry, the charismatic autobiography's got your back! Now you can be overwhelmed by just TWO guys

you reviewed Yakuza 0 without the Mad Dog of Shimano. why?

NGL the improv fighting with using the environment is one of the things I love about this series, it feels more realistic and you can feel the anger and brutality.

This duo is so fun to watch!! 😂😂 now I'm waiting for the reaction on yakuza 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 😅😅

"Yes take his life for my entertainment!!!" -Videogame Dunky 0:10

Can’t wait for the Majima edition where he catches a Katana with his teeth then launches it back at the enemy

This duo is very fun to watch

I feel like the guy in charge of finding this compilation just looked up the heat moves. I’d love to show these guys a Majima Kiryu fight from Kiwami 1 or Akiyamas fighting style in 4. Love this game it’s nice to see people be so excited watching it.

"Not a spec of blood on his white suit." Just wait, it'll show up.

I love this duo when they review martial arts fights in the games, and she’s equally iconic with Noah since the moment I’ve watched her react to fighting games on Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc.

I’d love to see a part 2 of this video covering Goro Majima’s fighting styles.

I love every bit of the main story in these games. Well…except for that one scene in Yakuza 4. But we don’t talk about that one. Damnit, Saejima!

"15 guys against 1" *Cut to yakuza 5 kiryu fighting 100 yakuza*

Would've loved to see their reactions to a couple more heat moves. Particularly Kiryu ripping a guy's arms out of their sockets and Majima catching a sword with his teeth.

hilarious reaction to a hilarious gameplay :D

a good beat em up game with the best minigames ive ever seen and a devastatingly good set of story lines

This is a video I've been requesting for months... Thank you! Now, I just need to see them react to Kiwami 2 and I'm solid. Oh Majima too.

Great Episode! Cheers from Czech

Now I wanna watch Gemma and Yoshi streams the entire Yakuza series

6:24 blocking uppercut 5:22 power bomb 5:39 knee smash on groin

Any chance for Majima part?

Been waiting for this

Yakuza is great, they remastered 3, 4 and 5, now is this best time to get into the series.

didnt believe Yoshi Sudarso become popular out there. very" glad🙏
