>Kills himself to avoid consequences and being a better manIf I were Kiryu, I'd spit on his grave tbqfhwyk
TEN YEARS IN THE JOINT
YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME?
>>724256784The end of the game is literally two Better Men fighting over their (not) wife's daughter and the loser blowing himself up over it jej
>>724256784he would be the biggest bitch final boss in the franchise if iwami didn't existactually i almost forgot about munakata because i was trying to mentally block this absolute shit show of a fight
>>724256784Honestly I used to shit on 3 because he cared more about Rikiya than Nishiki but I think deep down in hindsight Kiryu wished Rikiya were his sworn brother instead of Nishiki and that's why his death hit him so hard
>Nishki... This isn't you! You still can change things around. I've been at rock before, and let me tell you, as long as you keep moving forward, you'll be alright - I promise!Then Nishki turns himself in, Akiyama stays poor, and then Kiryu waits for Nishki until he is released, while Haruka gets sent to an orphanage.Then Yakuza 2 doesn't exist because Ryuji wouldn't do shit against Terada and the Jingweon
>>724257348Bruh, Kiryu went 10 years to prison for Nishiki and took all the blame for killing a yakuza head in a world where this basically means guaranteed death if you're not called Kiryu. And then Nishiki died due to his own choices while Rikiya died protecting Kiryu.
>>724257348>>724258551And the worst thing about it all is that they gave him a facelift
>>724258551Nishiki was extremely ungrateful for everything Kiryu did for him because he had a chip on his shoulder. That Kiryu could be so humble and sacrifice so much enraged him because he knew he was incapable of that.>>724257391I'm pretty sure Nishiki would get even more pissed at Ichi for the same reason I just typed above
>>724258760>jomon>yayoi
>>724256784more like>dies because these retards thought there wouldn't be any sequels so they killed 90% of interesting characters
>>724256898BRING THATSHIT KAZUMA
>>724260125Nagoshi was very cynical at the time, I could imagine he was thinking it was going to get Shenmue'd
>>724258760>when the character doesn't look ethnic enough
>>724260057What's wrong with the forehead? It looks like it's missing the prefrontal cortex
>>724260125It's not like they stopped killing or caning interesting characters after the first game. Yakuza series is just poorly written slop.
Did Kiryu beat Ryuji to death?
>>724256784>went for a boring broad like Yumi instead of a gorgeous babe like Reina who actually loved himWhat was this guy's problem?
>>724261704That scene in Yakuza 0 where Kiryu made googoo eyes at Reina made zero sense to me when he would be head over heels Yumi in 1
>>724256784He offed himself because he was consumed with revengeful hatred and guiltAlso the fact his aniki of 10+ years who went in prison in his stead barges in to stop him from causing further damage was just too much to bear emotionallyHe wasn't escaping from the consequences anyway so understandable.
>>724261704Reina's model was more plain in the original game. She wasn't a model like she was depicted in 0 (then retconned in Kiwami after).
