Makes sense. Tough cops would talk more like street thugs since they have to deal with them daily…some have been prison guards as well…the police don’t know if the next person is thug or citizen so to be on the “safe” side they lean towards acting like thugs or they could even be bought off by thugs. So part of an operation. It could happen in any country, any time and crime crosses different cultures because it more like cause and effect for them. The nice people would get rolled on flat like a tortilla.

FYI. "Kora" is a Kagoshima dialect, and it originally meant just calling out "hey." But at the beginning of the Meiji period, the predecessor to the police force was organized, and its patrol officers were primarily made up of Kagoshima locals. Then, the yelling from those officers started spreading the overbearing use of "kora" around the country.

I see Majima and Kiryu, I click.

It's interesting how Shimano speaks with a Kansai dialect when Tojo Clan is based in Tokyo and their biggest rivals, the Omi Alliance, are based in Osaka. Majima also speaks with a Kansai, but his accent is fake and he puts it on as part of his Mad Dog persona.

awesome content as per usual

Personally, I'm more afraid of 半グレ"hangure" than yakuza. Yakuza basically don't touch civilians because most yakuza have strict rules, but Hangure operate without rules and frequently involve people. Ever since laws were passed to crack down on Yakuza, their influence has been declining day by day, but in their place has come the rise of Hangure.

That's actually what happens in the Yakuza franchise. As the timeline of the franchise is the same as real life, with each game passes the yakuza loses their power, and instead they are replaced with hangure. In the last entery, Lost Judgement, the yakuza is pretty much dead and the villains of the game are more scary than any other villain of the franchise.

Low intonation is common for people commanding presence. It’s less about what they say but more about how dangerous they seem when they say it. It happens also here in the states. They also threaten when not listened to.

I've only played 'Like a Dragon' but it's one of the funniest and most interesting games I've ever played.

calmest osakan police vs angriest toyko yakuza.

"When you think about yakuza, you might thing about the game yakuza." Well yeah. I mean the games cool as all hell

It was a captivating immersion into the Yakuza language through both your excellent analysis and the various video clips ! 😀👏🏻 I was surprised to observe how the famous Yakuza have developped their own way of speaking Japanese by adapting the pronunciation, some words and grammar to their community. 😯💬 Thanks to you, we know from now on basic rules of Yakuza's Japanese. 😄 So, we can decide whenever we want to show ourself as an ordinary person or a Yakuza through speech. 😂🤫

Majima voice is so iconic kiryu chan hehe lol

Feels weird that you pronounce yakuza in English with the stress on the ku, Especially since even Japanese puts the pitch accent on the ya instead, and English does the same, in my experience at least

Could never live without the Yakuza games..

If it wasn’t for ShoPro’s copyright issues, I would like to see Yuta do a video on how Pokémon characters like Satoshi speak Japanese in the Pokémon anime.

3:41 Seeing that, I wonder how do I say "Oi, popos, yall best roll out! We up in here with a Mac 10!" in japanese?

I’ve been learning Japanese and I’m pretty polite in general but trying not to be over polite to the point where it’s weird. I’ve been trying to talk how Japanese really talk, and I’ve noticed that I know a lot of words other learners don’t know and it’s thanks to this game series that I fully immersed in with Japanese subtitles and audio. Didn’t realise I basically taught myself Kansai dialect 😅😅😅 I ever say ですわ

I need more 関西弁 videos lol

5:15 Is that the toilet door? The policeman needs to poop, and the Yakuza is locked in there and does not want to give way?

You've done other videos regarding anime - how about one (related to this topic) - "Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari"... There are several characters in that anime that you may want to discuss!

Wow! Thank you Yuta 先生! Now you have me thinking about a few songs that I have listened to millions of times, but still do not fully understand. There are words in certain songs that make zero sense to me! I listen in anime for these words, podcast as well and I never hear anyone else use them. Maybe the singer is speaking a dialect as well. I couldn't understand any of the words in the "rough yakuza" dialect. It sounded foreign as opposed to the standard dialect. I can usually pick up several words at least! The way they spoke sent my brain into a tizzy and I lost any comprehensive ability! How odd...

Interessting that "enko" is written in katakana. I image a yakazu shacking a shop owner and going: "Kane, doko????" lol

We need more videos about Yakuza serie game!

Funny that you coose those characters as the thumbnail because the games do it right. Kiryu and other Yakuza hailing from Tokyo, with the exception of Majima who just puts on the Kansai dialect, speak standard japanese.

What a sheer coincidence I just finished discussing the わ particle with my Japanese student

Great, now do samurai

0:05 my reaction when I can’t speak Japanese so I can’t join the Yakuza

When I saw the video title I thought of an expression they use (or gangsters use as well) that sounds like "Orra"

I'm a simple man. I see Majima, I click.

This reminds me of Kana Hanazawa's video.. She turned into a yandere while practicing yakuza lines..

ROFL, catching the video late... Yeah, so this is kind of the impression I had... Yakuza is often portrayed as talking rough in movies, series, anime and whatnot, but that rough talk is actually how people wanting to talk rough usually do, doesn't matter if it's yakuza, cops, drunkards or people on the street... I've seen some clips of road rage in Japan with drivers also speaking like that. Loud, imposing and with lots of "r"s rolling off the tongue. xD Though the situation has to be extremely heated and out of the ordinary to come to that... most of the times, discussions that goes just a bit heated has more chances of having a few tongue clicks, eye rolls, and other types of expressions.

I've always expected the manor of speaking in the games to be exaggerated for dramatic effect. Even the storytelling is very theatrical by nature.

The only Osaka i new was Kero-chan from cardcaptor sakura lol. he was in osaka for a long time so picked up the dialect T_T
