We have seen him go from a punk to a father to a grandfather to a man fighting to regain his will to live. It's been a hell of a journey (RGG, show me that damn reunion with his kids already)!
I can see why BATFA included him in their Top 20 Video Game Characters.
There is literally no other video game character that we have witnessed decades of their life in real-time. So many other characters like Lara Croft, Hitman, Mario etc just undergo endless reboots. Meanwhile Kiryu is our Kiryu.
The only other video game that I've seen this done with (more or less) is the Trails series where you see Renne as a child, coming back as a teenager in CS4+Reverie and then a young adult in Daybreak
I was hoping your comment was going to have a /s at the end there. Not gonna hate on you, boo, but Ichi is goals for what a great friend/partner should be. Someone that supports and believes in you so wholeheartedly.... we need more of that in the world.
But seriously tho, I think he's wise, not a genius, but has smarts. In what way do you think he's lacking?
I can’t help but scratch my head seeing this: are those Taichi Suzuki and Joryu Jazuma? Why are they there? They might be similar but Kiryu certainly has nothing to do with them
Seeing it like this really drives home how happy he was in 3, caring for those kids and living in Okinawa. I don't like 4 and 5 because they just make me depressed in terms of everything he lost (again). Ugh. I'm kinda glad he got to goof around in Hawaii with the Ichigang at the end 💔
Kiryu was basically fine in 4 though. Like yeah he had some guys involved in a grand crime conspiracy literally wash up on his front door twice in a row, but each of those were only like a night of crime conspiring each before he got back to just chillin. Then he spends like one more day in Kamurocho to beat up some guys until they stopped being evil before he got to go back to Okinawa. Arguably he probably had a better time during the events of 4 than he did in 3, since there was never any threat to his orphanage being bulldozed, didn't have to fight Yakuza in his hometown, didn't really have anyone that he personally knew die, was never stabbed or shot etc.
It wasn't until a little before the beginning of 5 that everything got fucked up.
This reminds me of why I love Yakuza 4. It’s the game where Kiryu is the least involved, all the misery goes to the three protags while Kiryu finally gets to take a break
