The BIGGEST Yakuza Tier List Yet - Almost EVERY Story Boss Ranked

Ойындар

This is a little something that I've wanted to do since shortly before Lost Judgment came out, so I figured I'd wait until the game came out to actually make this. In this video, we briefly go over most of the boss fights that happen in the Yakuza series. Think of it as a little radio show and play it in the background while you're perhaps cooking or doing something else.

    For the note on Aizawa, I believe he does see the contradiction in his mindset vs his circumstances, which is exactly why he wants to take down Kiryu, because he believes if he can defeat the infamous Dragon of Dojima then he will have in some way earned his position at the top of Tojo and Omi

    Y6 did try to explain it in the recap feature “Despite the lengths Kurosawa had gone to give Aizawa the world, Aizawa saw no value in any of it, struggling to understand his father's motives for leaving him such a legacy. But that doesn’t stop him from accepting it. This father and son were responsible for untold tragedies to countless people, and Kiryu accepted the challenge of ending their power grab by becoming an insurmountable wall for Aizawa” It did clear up some of Aizawa's motives, but it's still pretty weird compared to other final bosses

    @@emergence109 People meme about Aizawa saying "I don't know" when Kiryu asks why he's there at Tojo HQ, but it parallels with Haruka's story. His father was pushing his dream of his son inheriting the Omi and Tojo onto him, but Aizawa didn't actually want it. He just wanted to prove himself by fighting Kiryu, and he was just going through the motions when he was was following his father's dream. Much like how Haruka never really wanted to be an idol, she just wanted to be with her dad. I like the idea behind Aizawa in theory, being a guy who had everything handed to him on a silver platter and fucking resents that, so he wants to prove to himself that he's good enough by taking down a legend. It's just not presented very well.

    Bonus point in the Y6 Akiyama fight: If you stall long enough or give him enough breathing room, you'll see his AI is tuned not to get extra aggressive on Kiryu and he'll even have an animation where he puts out his hands trying to calm deescalate Kiryu. Small but nice touch that adds to the tone....of course being the one in control of Kiryu, you are forced to fight him.

    The only gripe that I have about the fight against Kiryu Kazuma in Yakuza Like a Dragon, is that they referred to him as the Ex-Chairman of the Tojo Clan in the dynamic intro. Though true...I would've preferred it if they used his signature title instead: Dragon of Dojima They've already introduced him as the Ex-chairman upon his first appearance. So when it came to the actual fight, the lore that Kiryu humored Ichiban with would've made for a befitting Title drop, aka Kiryu Kazuma -> The Dragon of Dojima.

    I would honestly say that the 2nd Majima fight in yakuza 1/Kiwami is much better than the first fight. This is sheerly due to the fact that the floor cracks under you which adds a lot more atmosphere than the first fight where it's just fighting in a batting cage with other people there. Honestly the 2nd fight stood out a lot more than the 1st fight. Also love the video and respect to your opinion.

    I admittedly wish you had gone into their movesets a bit more since I feel like they're pretty important parts of characterization as well as making a boss memorable. Saito from Y4 is probably one of the best examples for this - even if you don't see any other scenes with him, if you compare his moveset to those of his fellow guards you can easily figure out he's unhinged as all hell, what with his brutal, sorta graceless strikes mixed in with flips and leaping attacks more reminiscent of Majima than anyone else.

    They could've made Kiwami Majima better by having him style switch throughout the main fights with him. He does switch styles but I mean he'd do it dynamically and somewhat randomly. This would make it feel worth it to fight Majima everywhere because you'd be dealing with him on the fly style switching like Kiryu can in the game. It'd really make it feel as if he is going all out.

    Challenge factor is none, but satisfaction factor is top tier. And that counts for a LOT. I struggled against the bosses in Kiwami 2 for their relentless blocking, ragdoll physics, and mountains of health bars, but they damn weren't satisfying. Conversely, my final fight with Kuze, I was so accustomed to his moveset and had optimized Kiryu's styles to my liking to such a degree that I beat Final Kuze with no damage. He just couldnt hold a candle to me. And that was immensely satisfying.

On the topic of soma though, I think the reason why he’s less intimidating than kuroiwa was because kuroiwa was a much more active and impatient antagonist; the dude is out for blood, and that made his crazy factor a lot more threatening, meanwhile soma is just doing what he feels in his twisted mind is his job.

    Okay, so here's the thing about Ishin's bosses(and a bit of Ishin as a whole): 1. Okada Izo was a staunch supporter(and enforcer)of the Tosa Loyalist Party. Takechi Hanpeita was the number 2 guy of sorts of the organization and when he got to meet Sakamoto Ryoma after what was probably a long time, he gave Ryoma an important position in the organization. Izo didn't like that at all and held it against Ryoma, which is why he fights Ryoma 4 times. He simply gives up just before he dies. 2. See 10. 3. "Nagakura Shinpachi" was the 2nd Unit Captain of the Shinsengumi and Ryoma fights him as a sort of initiation into the Shinsengumi ranks. 4. Yamanami Keisuke(former 3rd Unit Captain)wanted to leave the Shinsengumi. The Vice Commander Hijikata Toshizo arranged a duel between Keisuke and Ryoma. If Keisuke won, he'd be let go. If he lost, well... 5. Can't even remember what Kanai's name is here lol...never mind, just found out his name is Yoshida Toshimaro. 6. Katsura Kogoro was the head of the Choshu Loyalist Party. He and Saigo Kichinosuke(the head of the Satsuma Loyalist Party, also the Huge Man who just barged into the bath-house, which starts that famous naked fight. lol)were to have a meeting about a plan of action in Ikedaya but Shinsengumi units raid the place. 7. Kondo Isami was the head of the Shinsengumi and Ryoma pays him a visit because if anyone knows who killed Yoshida Toyo using Tennen-Rishin kenjutsu, Isami would know. 8. "Okita Souji"(1st Unit Captain of the Shinsengumi), having realized who Ryoma really is, challenges him to a fight. And this was just after the whole Sengoku reference lol 9. Yeah, you nailed it. 10. Yes, what you said is true, but here's the kicker: "Souji" picks a fight with Ryoma because "Genzaburo Inoue" was found dead in a river and "Souji" blames Ryoma because, spoiler: "Inoue" was the one who killed Toyo. This is also where we learn that "Souji" isn't Souji. In addition, there's a flashback that reveals that "Inoue" had killed the real Inoue, the real Shinpachi and the real Souji. The true identity of "Inoue" was Serizawa Kamo, the former head of the Shinsengumi(I think?). This then brings the following question: who are "Souji" and "Shinpachi" really? Spoiler answers: Hirayama Goro(what a first name. lol)posed as Souji while Hirama Jusuke posed as Shinpachi. Goro decides that he won't sell Ryoma out because of his(and Jusuke's)own secret. 11. Yeah, you nailed it. 12. Kinda sad that Sasaki Tadasaburo doesn't really have any presence in the story and is seen as a joke. 13. Harada Sanosuke was the 10th Unit Captain of the Shinsengumi, known mostly for his insistence of using a spear for fights. He seems like that cool fight that's just there, almost like Aizawa in 5 lol 14. What can anyone say about Takeda Kanryusai? He's basically Hayashi with Arase's gunkata stuff. 15. The Jusuke, Toshizo and Goro fights were basically prep battles for... 16. Tadasaburo rematch. Eh, whatevs. 17. Ito Kashitaro was the Military Advisor of the Shinsengumi. He basically pulled a "you got got" a couple chapters ago but this time he can finally be taken down. 18. Yeah, you nailed it. 19. Finally, Ryoma gets to confront Hanpeita after learning that he actually engineered Toyo's murder to take control of the Tosa Loyalist Party in his radical hopes of "bringing Japan to a new age". Ryoma thinks he's lost it and well, that's how one of the best fights of the RGG series begins. After all that, a wild Jingu appeared and I was rolling on the floor laughing for a very long time, lol. Sorry for the wall, man.

    It's amazing to me how you can remember who all these bosses are and how they fit into the stories of each relevant game. I've played through the entire series 3 times and platinum'd all the games, but I don't have a clear memory of all this stuff at all. To me, the whole Yakuzaverse exists in some kind of cloud where all the plotlines and bosses are woven together.

    the one part i have to disagree with the most is Mine. He's a clash of ideology against Kiryu, who's a shining example of hope and justice, whereas Mine is a deep mire of cynicism and doing whatever it takes. Mine's reasoning for killing Daigo is rooted in his mindset; he's already dead, there's no point in hoping he is going to come back. And Kiryu, who despite everything, still believes that he can comeback and that he's so filled with hope, is something that Mine despises, because deep down, he wishes he was like that. That's why Mine is easily my top 3 villains, and definitely my favorite main antagonist for his own game.

    I said it on one of Leon's streams and I'll say it again. Kiwami my first Yakuza game and Shimano for me was definitely the moment that forced me to learn to play this game properly. I've experienced something similar in Metal Gear Rising, where I didn't learn how important the parry was until Monsoon, who is fucking impossible without parries (for your average player at least).

    i feel like ranking how good a boss fight is shouldnt revolve around plot relevance, or whether it relies on gimmicks, all a good fight needs is a balanced moveset, a bit of difficulty and how it feels aesthetically in general. for that i feel aizawa is actually an incredible boss especially on hard, the animations during the fight, the voice acting, the aesthetics and callback to yakuza 2 with the fight against shindo also being throughout the tojo headquarters. in terms of my favourite plot fight its gotta be nishki tho

    Haven't played judgement yet. But considering I completed kiryu saga , the best bosses imo were : Someya's final fight Mine Final fight Ryuji's final fight The rest of the bosses weren't bad, kuze's or nishikiyama's fights were also great but these 2 edge it for me . Someya's is a level above the rest for me.
