It's because the entire cutscene is part of the dynamic intro, oddly. You can see a very very lil' lag spike between when Kuze walks from the scooter and the camera changing over to Kiryu

An underrated intro is the Majima vs Ibuchi one. Majima doesn't smile at Ibuchi when coming in for a stab, showing that he's seriously pissed off. Ibuchi probably reminded him of Dojima being an orchestrating bastard who got countless innocents killed which is why he was having none of his bull. Ibuchi dodging to point his gun at a descending Majima is so cool to look at.

I look at it in Ichi's perspective that the first phase he saw Ryo Aoki as his Boss name. But when it gets to the second phase it just says Masato Arakawa add the fact he's unarmed and forced into a max Freelancer shows Ichi is beginning to let go of his Rpg phase and embrace real world.

@Viper Hareous I'm really split on K2. It's one of my least favorites in the series actually, because of the dogshit excuse that everyone and their mother is actually Jingweon Mafia, it just felt too contrived, even for Yakuza standards. The whole Kazuki clone too, it just gave me such a weak vibe. Ryuji wasn't featured nearly enough in the game too, making him a weak villain imo, a problem I feel a lot of antagonists in the series have, including Nishiki in K1, Mine from 3, etc. K2 of course had some moments, a lot of the dynamic intros were cool, mostly the Ryuji fights (excluding the sword fight near the end, it looks kinda lame) and the fight with Majima in the Coliseum. All this stuff contributed to me not enjoying the game as much as many others, cause from what I've heard, people put K2 really high up on their list. For me, it's 0 and 6 at the top spot. After that, I tend to change my mind quite often, but I'd like to hear what you thought of 7, or Like a Dragon??? Did you like the gameplay change and the new protag???

If RGG ever goes through with their plans of remaking 3-5, I really hope they add alot more dynamic intros like how they did for 2. Kiryu's fight with the Tojo in 5 easily deserves a badass intro to one of his coolest brawls. Or even getting something simple like a small visual reaction from Saejima seeing that Majima uses a knife when fighting in 4 since up until then he probably had no clue.
