Nishitani would have had so much fun with the Lieutenants

Awano tattoo depicts Momotaro. He is a guy from a legend who slayed demons that where attacking his village. He had three allies that he made in this adventure, a dog, a monkey and a pheasant. The hannya mask is a representation of how human beings, especially women, can become demons due to negative emotions. So this fight was symbolically a fight between a demon slayer vs demon. But the symbolic demon slayer in the story got corrupted and was seduced by the easy life that wealth can provide and the good guy in this fight was the one who turned into a demon ( A partial one at least, Lao Gui you can say that he was a full demon ) because of the great suffering he went through in his life.

Sagawa ultimately paid for what he did at the end of the game as well.

5:35 I want to bring attention to this tiny detail that is easy to miss. When Awano punches the wall and shatters it Majima looks over like "Holy crap" but look at Awano. He stares at the broken wall for a moment before remembering he is in a fight and the two separate. Awano literally surprised HIMSELF with the power of that punch.

Kiryu was a cocky newbie in the Dojima family under them. Its kind of just a mentality thing for him to be underestimated by his former superiors. On the other hand, Majima might even canonically be the bigger threat at this point tbh, or at least thats the impression that I got. Majima in the epilogue pretty much one ups Kiryu by a mile. Kiryu had a lot more downtime between Kuze and Shibusawa, and kazama family/nishiki's support throughout the mooks. Majima straight up rolled up to Dojima family's headquarters and trashed the entire family, awano and lao gui all back to back by himself. Kiryu was worn down from his fight too, but Majima? Dude gave 0 shits, he was on a warpath. Didnt even look phased by lao gui at the end. If they wanted to show Majima as being way scarier than Kiryu at this point in the chronology, they sure as hell pulled it off.

Awano was perfect as the penultimate boss for Majima. Think about it for a second. Lao Gui is a possible future for Majima. While Awano is the embodiment of Majima at the beginning of the game. Two men with untold potential trapped in a mire of complacency. They are both trapped in a golden cage. In fact, Awano is the golden cage in physical form. Majima could've been just like Awano if he stayed in Sotenbori. Majima had multiple opportunities to take the easy way out. However, because Majima took the arduous path. He came out a much stronger person. While Awano, was trapped by the same glitz and glamor Majima escaped from. So in order to face a possible dark future, or Lao Gui. Majima has to conquer his past, the golden cage, the glitz and glamor, the mire he was stuck in, he has to defeat Awano.

Love how calm awano's theme and suddenly the song escalates. Really shows how dangerous awano is despite living the luxury life throughout his time as a lietunant

So Awano’s tattoo is a depiction of Momotaro, a figure from a Japanese folktale about a baby who is born from a peach and grows up to fight an army of demons. And Majima’s tattoo is a Hannya. A type of Japanese demon.

Almost 100% sure thats entirely intentional. Kuze comes at you with everything on the table from the beginning. He doesn't pussy foot around. What you see is what you get and hes straightforward. Shibusawa is basically the opposite of Kiryu. Kiryu sticks to his morals as much as existentially possible, whereas Shibusawa threw them all away years ago. Kiryu has no desire for fame, glory or materialistic fulfillment while Shibusawa wants it all in spades. ...Felt almost fitting that Kuze's final fight gave me more trouble than Shibusawa. Somehow.

Awano seems like what would have happened hadn’t kiryu had a positive figure like Kazama in his life, and had gone for the easy life. I’m sure in his prime, awano might have even been a match for kiryu given his performance in this fight, since he’s obviously not had a fight in years.

I also feel like the music is a pitch perfect match to the fight (often the case in this series) Its got that somber tone that I think echoes Awano’s lost fighter’s pride in favor of luxury. However once that kick ass guitar gets to kickin it shows some of that raw power and pride resurfacing, and it fits beautifully if it’s timed with the QTE. RGG always knows EXACTLY what they’re doing!

Had the makings of a varsity athlete

aw snap, i was hoping you could have the luck again with the QTE and the music XD

What's with all the tattoo hate omfg Awano has the Japanese equivalent of Hercules about to kill a demon on his back! ...while Nishiki literally has a giant fish on his

It's not only people on youtube. The Japanese have had a history of anti-tattoo attitudes for decades now in an effort to keep tattoo-wearing criminal elements out of "respectable establishments." This is despite the fact that the Japanese themselves have had a long history of tattoo culture, and how they apply their anti-tattoo policies to foreigners who wear tattoos for other reasons.

Mazryonh That's ??? Not even relevant to what I was talking about in the least? I was talking about how people are talking badly about what Awano has tattooed on him even though his design is relatively cool in comparison to Nishikiyama's *Giant Boring Fish* tattoo.

I was talking about anti-tattoo sentiment in Japan in general. What you' saw here is just a small example of what you'd find over there.

@Mazaryonh Cute backpedaling ya' got there.

ah, looking back on it this game was truly something special, even in comparison to other RGG games. Every boss fight was memorable.

5:41 is so iconic the way be dodged that punch

5:18 yes, that's smile of the crazy dog from Shimano 😎

Awano has got to be my favourite antagonist by far

5:35 to 5:48 seems like a great ass music sync imo

Awano just looks like he wants to host a late night TV show...

Awano moveset is definitely the same as Watase from Yakuza 5 xD

No, it kinda reminds of it, but it's different.

All the shit he talked to kiryu, you always think kiryu didn’t get a shot at taking him down or he would’ve done it just as easily. BUT, considering the whole wall punch and the fact that awano blocked a punch from kiryu without even looking, I would say that kiryu didn’t have what it takes to take down awano just yet. Majima though, the mad dog was born when his love was shot, and this was simply him testing out his new teeth.

Imagine placing an ad right when the fight begins, actual weirdchamp

6:30 why was that satisfying for some reason

such a great game

The finale filled my brain with indescribable amounts of dopamine

5:44 majima:NOW THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!

Awano would definitely be at the head of the Tojo Clan is he never gave into the easy lifestyle and kept on fighting

Awano was prolly my favorite dojima leader in the game

I love this game everyone Have their Intresting Back Story..

*Interesting

Ive always loved his "HO HUUAGH!!" Such a good fuckin' voiceline :)

If awano didn’t live such a luxurious and partying life no doubt he would’ve been stronger than keiji

yakuza 0: astonished by awano cracking the wall yakuza kiwami: shatters the floor with his goddamn fist. True character progression

That wall punch had to have fractured at least a couple knuckles holy shit

Hiroki Awano (With Vengeance).

Fun fact, wall which awano punched wasnt only one, I stabbed Lao guis hand on different wall and it broke as well

5:40 Awano is a menace 💀

Awano: Shatters wall Majima: I should start a construction company

the demon vs the demon slayer, how symbolic

Y el tatuaje de los mejores de la saga..tiene un gran simbolismo,el samurai representa la firmeza,los valores, el honor,el control de los bajos instintos...por eso con la katana domina al demonio y esta por encima de el pero no lo mata,porque es su fuerza al fin y al cabo.Valores que el abandona para darse a la vida facil y quiere recuperar

El tatuaje de Awano representa a Momotaro, que es el equivalente japonés de Hércules. Luego de vencer al oni, se dio a la vida fácil y dejó de pelear, cosa que le llevó a su caída. Eso es lo que pasó exactamente con Awano, que cuando llegó a lo más alto, dejó de pelear, dándose a la vida fácil y eso lo llevó a su caída.

Imagine if saejima picked a fight with awano tho, that's a fight I'd love to see.

Bruh this guy Cracks a Wall with just his punch O_O

Kuze and Awano earned my respect man

Who:s the best Yakuza actor career wise?

+canadmexi Takeuchi Riki (Awano) and Ozawa Hitoshi (Kuze) are around the same if you mean success in action movies. Riki is probably the best off, though (he has a huge house that literally has his name written on it multiple times and LOTS of cars). He's on TV all the time (being a guest on a talk show, singing during events/advertising his music, acting in commercials, dubbing over commercials) and that's how you measure how well someone's doing in Japan rather than movies in the West. He also does a surprising amount of voice acting that ranges from antagonists in children's movies to being a part of the Japanese dub of Mad Max.

+canadmexi They usually star in the same movies like 8 or 9 times out of 10 so that's hard to say tbh. Riki is usually the lead, if that helps

Awano es uno de los personajes mas interesantes del juego.Es un hombre que en su juventud era como Kiryu o Majima pero evoluciona usando mas el cerebro que los musculos.pero no puede evitar volver a ser como era para esta ocasión.De hecho se insinua que es uno de los más fuertes fisicamente del juego.Si hubiera seguido entrenando y no se hubiera dado a la vida facil..Es un personaje complejo y no tan lineal como los protagonistas

Imagine if Awano gave his full effort before he got into the easy life, he would be bitchslapping Shibusawa 9 times over.

Someone says awano punches are 1.6 million pound force. Fucking legend

With Vengeance

And the thing that shocks me most that this was him when he was rusty. Imagine if he was still in his prime and didn’t let the easy life get to him.

He would bust the dojima hq down by punching that wall

Ngl I didn’t expect Awano to have hands

5:39 idk why but the noise Awano makes before punching the wall is fucking hilarious to me

That bat is everything yo.

You probably should have included his death. I'm wondering if Awano took what Majima said to heart and decided to die like a "baka", like Lee and Nishitani.
