It’s just like what they say; “There’s always someone bigger and badder than you”

Humiliating, but hey, if I were Lao Gui, I would be honoured to be destroyed by a true badass. Still humiliating as hell though.

And breakdancing. Can't forget the breakdancing.

Who would win? Asia's Most Expensive Hitman vs One mad dog with epic breakdancing skills

@@salt8606 The power of groove

More like Hitman vs Hitman

Sad Cross but Majima didn’t kill anyone the whole game so not really hitman vs hitman

@@AskwhoQ I saw another comment that said Lao Gui possibly mirrors what Majima WOULD have become if he didn't spare Makoto

Christian Calso I can actually see that

Majima is already somewhat unhinged after a year of torture and having one of his eyes gouged out, all for disobeying orders to join his sworn brother instead of leaving him to die alone on that raid. I don't think it's too far fetched for him to have ended up going down that dark path if he killed Makoto. We see the inner conflict when he first rescues Makoto and is holding his tanto above her while she is unaware, clutching his leg, scared and crying. From memory it was the closing cutscene of Chapter 4. If he had gone through with it while he was in such a conflicted state, one can only imagine the shit it would have done to him. Maybe he becomes properly insane instead of just a slightly loony guy playing up his persona, or maybe he can't live with it and offs himself. The latter really doesn't seem like his style but again who knows what may have happened. Tl;dr: Game has damn good writing, especially where Majima is concerned

Yeah that was a nice touch. I love this fucking series

The same can be seat if you switch to Kiryu's Dragon Style against Shibusawa in the final phase, he proclaims that he is the Dragon of Dojima, Kiryu unleashes his new style in it's infancy against him.......infancy because it has yet to be garnished with Komaki's techniques.

Lao Gui: _Pulls out the throwing needles, the silenced pistol and the sword_ Goro Majima: _Kicks his ass barehanded_ Lao Gui: _Is disarmed_ Goro Majima: "Now it's an even fight." _Pulls out the demon dagger._ Lao Gui: "Whoa, hey, easy now! Imagine having beef with me. I'm just a little jokester. A silly little guy. You gonna have a beef with a silly little guy?"

@@scavengersix2161 Imagine Lao Gui saying that in c h i n e s e

Personally I like it when Majima goes mad dog first, then slugger, then thug It gives that cinematic feel that Majima is losing his weapons the same as Lao Gui and at the end they engage in fisticuffs. Makes it feel like they're using everything they have to kill/survive Plus the red aura vs blue aura looks cool

He isn't just your average Hitman He's a Damn Sadist

@@thiscommonsinkt3367 Never mess with sadists with medical knowledge.

Awano may still be alive, Kashiwagi approved hhahaaha.

Come to think of it, Awano, being not only a lieutenant, but also a muscle mountain, could still be valuable to Sohei, so despite the amount of bullet wounds - they weren't mortal, he could still recover. The final blow with needles was when it became clear that Awano switched sides.

@@thiscommonsinkt3367 hell, even agent 47 thinks this is a bit too far

*sad nishitani noises*

(Doofinschmirts liked that.)

In the same game too. Damn, I know Majima has plot armor but come on.

Majima called Awano a meatshield for Dojima and the sad thing is that he litteraly became a MEATSHIELD. I almost cried when Awano got shot ;-;

I made sure to kill Lao gui with a heat action because he killed awano

WAT. WHERED HE GO!?

The pit of forgotten one-off characters. Rip In Prequel.

I love your name

@@liamclarke91 Awano left to get medical attention, he lives in Chiba now, taking care of animals.

Wow, the despawn in this game is wild

Yeah, not to mention that Kiryu's style of fighting is more of a traditional, hand-to-hand combat style while Lao Gui fights quick, dirty and underhanded. He's more or less his exact opposite if you think about it, and I'm not just talking about their fighting styles here.

@Gold Star Gaming kiryu could beat him but it'd require one of those last minute friendship saves that always happens

Opponent would be know different! Kiryu has survived stabs and bullets, not to mention his komaki style and strength would due just fine here IMO. Would require a slight adjustment to his tactics but many opponent required kiryu to take a step back and "power up" or readjust. Kiryu vs Lao gui =kiryu

Kiryu hasn't met komaki yet in this game. I still think this younger kiryu would whoop lao gui ass though. Dude is the literal definition of a tank.

@@joshwhite557 True but the problem is that even tanks have limitations. And here we have Lao Gui who gives no damn about honour or fist fights. Not even Kiryu should survive bullets, blades, claws in addition to the dirty style. Majima has the benefit here cause of a different style and mindset to deal with Lao Gui. Hence how the two final bosses are complete opposites. Kiryu and Shibusawa was savage but nobody went out to use full out dirty tactics. It was legit style. Majima and Lao Gui was more going raw and feral cause of a different battle approach and pride didn't matter. That is why I am suggesting Kiryu would lose to Lao Gui. He has the skill to take on Lao Gui in fist fights but does 0 Kiryu have the mindset and necessary skill to take on a fully armed Lao Gui who does not care about fighting with honour and pride but will do everything and anything not to beat him up but to kill him? Mind you, the No. 1 assassin in asia too so not some battle scrub either.

One time only reminder that Lao Gui isn't the best assassin in Asia. At this point, it would be So Amon and later Jo Amon. Any high ranking Amon Clan member kicks Lao Gui's ass.

@@tacticalnuke0029 and Kiryu and Majima also beat Amon ass

Daily reminder that Lao is not the best assassin, he's the most expensive one.

I was just talking with a friend the other day, and he talked about how he would love to see SPOILERS FOR YAKUZA 1 A game that takes place during the time that Kiryu is in prison for ten years, where you play as Majima.

@@rffrice Yes its concept is so weird it can only be fun

In that case, that is pretty good wordplay. A really good double entendre, considering that he was looking at the weapons as well.

I think a yakuza 0-2 or 00 is in consideration atm probably after Ichiban

@Punx is idol and noise they also took away kiryus other 3 styles too and just kept the dragon style. Im fine with only having the mad dog style but i do think they couldve given him more combos, skills and heat actions.

Honestly, I felt a few dudes in this game looked Latino. The leader of the Dojima clan looks like a Dominican dude from a grocery store in NYC.

@Punx is idol and noise I agree, plus the story was way too short and rushed imo. I want them to do something like 0 again. Where you hop from Kiryu to Majima every couple chapters and eventually end up together in the end.

its video game logic: limitations

im sure it wasnt that hard 2 find a chinese guy. there kinda are a billion out there.

@@yungquagton You'll be surprised how many characters in games are speaking bad Chinese or even the wrong Chinese. i.e. Hongkongers speaking Mandarin but mainlanders speaking Cantonese

@@izrrr4785 to be fair, most mainlanders do know some Cantonese to some degree and vice versa

Whats even more bizarre is that they didnt patch out Sam Lee's lines until patch 1.04 on PS4.

Video games tend to do that a lot tho

Thats like some anime shit 😂😂

I just noticed how it kinda looked like 'yin and yang' kind of symbolism. Seems like Lao Gui is supposed to be Majima's dark reflection, a real assassin that will not hesitate to kill unlike him, with a very unusual and unpredictable fighting style to boot. It's kinda similar to how Kiryu had to beat Shibusawa in a dragon vs dragon fight.

@@lyonvensa holy shit, that's true!

That's rad!!

@@lyonvensa And you can also make that symbolism for Awano too: As it was described in another comment, Hiroki Awano is the gilded cage personified, a man who became corrupted by the glitz Majima was so desperate to escape from. And Lao Gui is a dark future: So in order to defeat his future, Majima has to defeat his past, which is Awano.

ZorroLoco he was I had a hard time last night when I was finishing the game

ZorroLoco Majimas default fighting style reminds me of Iori Yagami from king of fighters

Pretty great how Majima, who was meant to be an assassin but didn't have the heart, ended up facing the deadliest killer in the world. It's like he's fighting a reflection of what he might have become if he crossed the line.

AFRO THUNDER it was also the funnest boss battle in yakuza 0 in my opinion

And I know something quicker than that, when Majima fought Kasiwaghi. His punch is the quickest QTE I have ever seen, it is like we only have less than 1 second for that

@@congpham2095 I know bro I remembered it I somehow caught it😹😹😹 Surprisingly enough iv never really messed up the quick time events

Yumi would have been alright, Kiryu probably would have his own family and gave Nishiki the money he need to save his sister's life.

If he do that. Kiwami story will lose Saejima Instead of Nishiki and begins a story of Majima instead of Kiryu

@@Gemsverse I don't think so, Majima wouldn't have any regrets killing these two knowing everything they've done. Not to mention none would fuck with him since he took down an entire Family single handly

We wouldn't have haruka, neither Akiyama, is that really the best outcome? 🥕🥕🥕🥕

Yes, I didnt like that Sera convinced Majima to spare Dojima.

He found out what happens when you fuck with the Mad Dog of Shimano.

I thought that was really cool because it goes to show how long it must have been since he’s had his ass whooped so badly.

I mean who wouldnt whimper, anyone saying that they wont groan after an asskicking is cap. lao gui still remains to be stoic, hell, he breaks into laughter while on the brink of death and barely flinches

And i like how quick it happens aswell Like the first second he just tries to go for a punch and then the next second a knife just gets lodged in his Solar Plexus

It's just the tiger drop but with a knife.

I love the evil witch chuckle after countering him

"S-SERRRAAAAAAAAA"

He's pissed but Sera brings some good points

Real reason is, this is a presquel bruh

This isn't US, u can't easily get that kind of stuff.

Well, the answer is that would actually resolve everything and give Kiryu no purpose to continue the series on. Majima had the power to END the series then and there. That's something Kiryu will never have.

@@giornogiovanna2162 You know you can make bombs out of fertilizer and household chemicals, right?

He really likes shooting hands

Legend difficulty doesn't amp up the damage received much. The main difference is that there's no checkpoints, so if you die you start from a previous save. Which in Yakuza 0's case can be half an hour to an hour of progress. If not more sometimes.

@@CianaCorto technically yes it does. The enemies have much more HP you do less damage. They also deal a lot of damage to you

@@CianaCorto note to self: never play legend difficulty

@@UKEDNHAT7 it's p fun actually.

From someone who actually did the Platnum Trophy for Yakuza 0, the only problem with Legend difficult are the parts where the checkpoints reset will have you wanting to kill yourself. There are 2 parts where this happens, the first one where you need to protect Makoto and the hitbox can sometimes fuck you up, and the car shooting part. The second one almost made me quit the trophy... if you die, get ready to see all cutscenes again... and you also have to be really careful on the part after that (Again, protecting Makoto). Chances are if you are on Legend, you probably did all the Climax Battles, so you probably are really sharp on combat. So enemies and bosses are not much trouble, tbh. You might wanna stock some Staminan Royale and the Death Saving Idol to avoid some bullshit. But it's overall a good challenge. I would recomend someone on doing it because is fun.

Sera is a badass, knew how to use guns properly.

Lol he did the exact same thing with sagawa earlier in the game

@@dudescrawny5859 Yeah, those flashbacks being the Yakuza 4 flashback the other dude was talking about.

Gimme yo gloves

Nice name lol

Majima had his hairstyle back before this game, it was shown in Y4 with the scene with Saejima. This is the only game where his hair was different

also he got those black gloves.

Lao gui has some ground leg swipes and jumping spin attacks so that counts a bit as breaker, with the spin attack difference is that he uses it to generate force into his palm strikes, it's quite a badass technique

Glitch?

Glad I got the fixed one. Sam Lee is good, but not for Lao.

@Christopher Marlowe Sam Lee is a Chinese actor who was the basis for the model in the Chinese version of Yakuza 0. We don't have this version of Lao Gui in the Western version, BUT in the early release of 0, in this fight with him, he uses Sam Lee's voice clips.

Man's look like a literal monster

@@user-bl5dl3zp7y At that point, Dojima was just hoping for a small chance of luck, that unfortunately came and went, when he fucked it up by going after Majima.

DIO: Am i a joke to you?

@@happygardevoir boi, DIO looks fine, even for a 120 year vampire. now compare it to this lao gui design.

Triangle C Both were equally good imo.

Majima has better styles imo

I feel like kiryu's substories were better but i thought the cabaret side quest was a lot more memorable than the real estate so it's really difficult.

Had to be Majima, that fighting style & laughter is just the excellent combo for disaster fun.

@Christopher Marlowe yea breaker is hard to master but once u get the feel it's really fun and useful in crowd fight, especially to built up heat.
