The 7 heroic traits?

Shin Yakuza: Pubes for hair

then comes yakuza kiwami - MAJIMA!!!! MAJIMA EVERYWHERE!!!

4= faith

@@shizuwolf 7: Like a Dragon.

still waiting for kenzan and ishin though.....really really wish they would port these to pc

@@lusterTJ yeah i really want them to be localized, i recently bought them, and started playing and i can for sure is..... AWESOME

Good

And Yakuza 7's gonna have english dub, we've come a long way.

Luster TJ Due to the nature of the plot with Haruka, I don’t believe Kenzan has hope for a localization. Ishin has a chance though!

I think it got big because of Yakuza 0 and dame dane memes

@@amarson2322 0 and later 7 definitely had the biggest hands in popularizing yakuza

@@amarson2322 But at what cost...

…

"Nobody" lol speak for yourself

It’s a time capsule. Thanks for supporting the channel, by the way. A new video is being edited right now.

@@HyperBitHero It's my pleasure.

​​​@@HyperBitHeroI'd love you to do a Yakuza 2 video similar to your "respect the original Yakuza" vid , I loved this vid

Even more so with the series now being called like a dragon in the west and inshin getting a remake. Granted, the remake is iffy in a lot of places. But I'm glad to see the story translated

I was hooked when zero came out, but then my life changed forever when I was dragged around by a shark in the later games

come on, you regretted that way before this video

2012, to be exact.

may I ask what caused it?

Not a red ring, coincidentally.Pretty sure it involved infamous, though.

Don't worry. They'll be relatively cheap soon. Then you too can play numerous PS3 exclusives.

Would not expect an old school PC guy like you to be into this series. That's awesome!

Do a yakuza review lol

Check out my short run down ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UeEEd6ezubs.html

After all this time, I had no idea you were also a Yakuza fan. And don't mind me replying to a 9 year old comment lmao. I'm revisiting this vid for nostalgia as it introduced me to the series.

If it makes you feel better, this video has convinced me to try out the series and watch the rest of your videos.

its so funny how every person i'm subbed to on youtube gets flagged for copyright almost constantly, for little to no reason. in fact, one of my favorite channels is getting its shit pounded into the ground over false ID claims which are being disputed and dropped as fast as he's getting them. but the more popular channels never get any, and when they do google issues a personal fucking apology, since I guess they couldn't give a fuck about anyone else.

I guess that explains the dropped frames. Well, i guess you could consider another online media provider or simply uploading the video to a filelocker, as RU-vid won't get any better than this (it's been getting worse and worse, since the google buyout)

Do you know the name of the song @ 45:05 by any chance? I've been wanting to listen to the full version ever since I've first heard it.

well at least this video got released and has gotten me to wanting to check out the series now

I was promoting 3, when it came out in the US, in March 2010. After beating it, I was sad. It didn't sell well, and a lot of us thought that was it for Yakuza games.

@@1georgekitchen How were you promoting it? By making videos, writing reviews? Don't get me wrong, I'm simply curious.

Thank you 😊

Sonickick120reborn no

Have you fucked already?

Glorie Mpaka Not underrated in Japan tho.

DoomFry​ i know obviously😂

I see people sucking the cock of this series everywhere... It's not that underrated...

@@neildrunkmaam7040 If you go 5 years back, then it definitely was underrated.

@@neildrunkmaam7040 Just took 15 or so years to get some recognition. Didn't took long enough, not at all

There aren't enough hours in a weekend for all of them even if you rush through all of them avoiding all the side content

@@djcogdill9263 I think he realized that, 4 years ago...

@@neildrunkmaam7040 😂

Rumor has it, Til this day, every weekend this man still is playing the Yakuza series he bought those 5 years ago... yet to beat them.

@@marthlink5015 I can confirm the rumor... got massive burn out after getting to 5! Don't recommend marathoning these games in any way. Still great experiences though!

haha I thought I was the only one who re watch that video from time to time :D

SpeckObst yep this is my 3rd watch

They are remastering the whole series 0-6 for ps4

2nd watch but i love the serious as well sooo mutch ❤

And jrp's are my Main Genre of games

I do feel bad for people that play Kiwami 1/2 then hit three lmao it’s a rough transition

I am one of those people lol and yea it’s rough but eventually you get used to it and the story really takes some time to get into fully lol

the king of komaki tiger drop has spoken

Jimmyqballs 5 years later, what’s your opinion on its popularity now?

Whenever I see old comments, I always wonder if the poster is alive or not.

@@hisholiness4537 I'm still alive :O)

@@jimmyqballs Good to hear! And it seems like you have been experiencing this wonderful series for way longer than me. Kinda jealous, because at that point I really needed a role model like Kiryu. A lot of the lessons I had to learn the hard way are taught beautifully in this great series.

What game are you on now?

The4thSnake same

Same

my load tank is empty after the news

I need to go to the bathroom

My internet also needs to go to the bathroom, holy shit psn servers are horrible.

yeah, 3% here....

25%, hyyyype

Also I should say that I've been feeling kinda down lately but after watching all of the crazy awesome stuff in this video, I was just left with this huge dopey grin on my face. So not only have you introduced me to a series that I'm going to love but you also made me feel better! Thanks again and great video as always Hyperbithero!

Westonious I'm glad I could lift your spirits, man. Don't let things get you down! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FsOPo67qB1s.html

HyperBitHero Thanks for the encouraging words and the awesome music!

yakuza will leave you looking like your profile pic.

jsh020 It looked like that while I was watching the video! Haha!

I have a funny story on how got into the Yakuza series. In 2015 I bought a game on the 3DS called Project X Zone 2 which was a mediocre JRPG crossover that merge the worlds of Capcom, Namco and SEGA Characters in one chapter Phoenix Wright and Maya meet Goro Majima for a court case for the Tojo Clan it's a really fun chapter and definitely the highlight for an otherwise mediocre crossover game. But when I look up the game Kiryu and Majima were from it said Yakuza Dead Souls and Yakuza Fans have said that its one of the weaker games in the Yakuza series so naturally at first, I didn't care to get into the Yakuza series at the time. But in 2018 I was scrolling through RU-vid, and I found a video called Sonic and SEGA All Stars Warzone which was a fan idea for a possible SEGA Smash Bros it's actually a really well put together concept video and I linked in the comment below but anyways the video going through the roster of playable characters on the roster but one character I didn't recognize at the time was Kiryu and he was a series called Yakuza but then he started showing screenshots of gameplay and in one screenshot was Kiryu and then it hit me that this was same character from Project X Zone 2 and then I learned that Yakuza: Dead Souls was a Spin Off to Yakuza and not a main line game. So, then I look up the Yakuza Series and I learned that it was a big series in the Japan for SEGA but in the west, it wasn't quite a big as it was in Japan until the release of Yakuza 0 in 2017 on the PS4. the first Yakuza game I played was Yakuza 6: The Song of Life since it was newest one out at the time and I was hooked instantly, and I have played mostly every Yakuza game (Except spinoffs like Dead Souls, Kenzan and Ishin) its not only one of my favorite SEGA franchises but also one my favorite video game series of all time.

Have you played them yet?

Waiting for the update

Ishin remastered at 60 fps? You poor bastard. 😞😔

+H3IN3K3NX Play Dead Souls after 4 if you're going to play it.

thanks, will do. since it's a spin off that may be better to play after 4 so I don't ruin any hints to the main series story.

The moment I saw the cutie blind girl I knew Majima was a goner.

What do you mean by probably another ye olde Nihon game to kick off Yakuza on the PS5

@@cu11en76 that’s precisely what I mean

@@larsnyman2455 What do you mean by that?

I meant that I think that the Yakuza team is making another game set in ye olde Nihon for the PS5, like with Ishin and Kenzan for the 3 and 4

Imagine it's another prequel but this time with Watase as the main character or something

Kiryu should just be SEGA's Mascot at this point and SEGA should just throw Sonic in the freaking garbage and also put Kiryu in SEGA All Stars games like a racing game or even a SEGA crossover fighting game similar to SSB I want to see a SEGA crossover game where I can see a Yakuza beat up Sonic characters.

Liked and subscribed. Keep it up!

Cyberpunk Transhumanist On the topic of OST's, I'm particularly fond of Tiger Flute. It's just so funky.

***** Meh, I prefer the battle tracks myself!

Cyberpunk Transhumanist But Tiger Flute IS a battle theme. And yeah, I prefer battle themes too. If I'm gonna be listening to them for 10-20 hours they NEED to be good, and Yakuza almost always delivers. If we're talking ones 5 and 0 specifically I really like Hailstorm, Affected Fight, Victory Road, Dynamic & Magnificent. Receive and Slash You, Mutual Fists, One-Eyed Slugger, and Force and Crash Addiction.

***** My list would be too long! Hahaha! I don't think a day goes by where I don't listen to Yakuza songs or watch at least 3 boss fights to start my day off. :P

Cyberpunk Transhumanist I hadn't listened to anything for a while, shame on me, but last night I had devilleon's 18-minute loop of Reign on for like 2 hours while I played a computer game, lol. I used to listen to the karaokes everyday. I love them even more than battle themes. Breakin' the law, breakin' the world~

+Omgitsgodzilla I forgot it decreased when being hit until you mentioned it. I was really just using the comparison to the Style mete in DMC because it rises and falls naturally and even more when taking damage.

+HyperBitHero Makes sense, just wanted to point out that there maybe more similarity between the magic gauge and heat gauge than the comparison between style meter and heat gauge.

+AwesomeNightman I bought it, its great. Reconnected my ps3 just to buy and play it.

***** Yea very cheap. And it has an insane amount of content. A lot more than its predecessors.

+AwesomeNightman I bought it but unfortunately it won't sell well because many people traded in their ps3. I don't understand why they couldn't have put this on the ps-store for ps4. I suspect they will make this game free for ps plus before the Yakuza 0 release in the west.

Eccentric it's actually not that easy to port ps3 games to ps4 for some reason. I heard that at least.

+AwesomeNightman it takes a ton of programming to switch architectures. but they are bringing an HD version of 1 to the PS4 i japan (probs not the west).

Mojo Kor Ledenoa lol

I got it for free XD

If Sony were to make a PlayStation All Stars 2 in the future Kiryu would be an awesome inclusion for the roster since the Yakuza series is mostly tied to PlayStation consoles.
