Yumi yakuza9/23/2023 ![]() ![]() This is further worsened by the fact that he gets scammed out of money and time he could have spent with his dying sister. Always in the shadow of Kiryu, he had to step up to make his own name. When we finally do understand Nishki's motivations, it is heart breaking. Hidden in plain sight, a technique used by many movies in recent times, it seems that it could have been a novel concept around the time of the original game's release. One of the biggest twists in the game is that Yumi and Mizuki are the same person, but that is a reveal you can see coming a mile away. Taking down Jingu was one of the most challenging, if not frsutrtaing fights of the game, with his use of the gun and didge that made it harder to deploy Kiryu's finishing moves on him. He was ready to do anything to maintain his power, including killing his wife and daughter. It was his 10 billion yen that was missing from the Tojo Clan and he was working with the yakuza all along. Turns out he is Haruka's father and is corrupt as fuck. A lot of the story seems padded in the last few chapters as we chase behind and rescue Haruka, first from Majima, who just wanted a fight and then form this Chinese faction, who have some grudge with Kiryu(?!).īut it is then that the true villain is revealed in the form of Jingu, a government official of high standing, who starts the investigation against Kiryu. But I was yet to discover the reason for his villainy. Before the start of every chapter, we are given a glimpse of Niskiyama's past and what happened after Kiryu was sent to jail. He seems every bit like the asshole everyone makes him out to be. It took me some time to get into the groove of the game even after finishing chapter 6 and then we finally get to meet Nishkiyama. The Sins of the Father, where we have missions related to the children of the detective, Date san and the Florist is one of the most stretched out and annoying chapters of the game. It was around chapter 6 after being introduced to the underground network of surveillance run by the Florist and his homeless pals out of the park, that I found myself slowing down with the story. She was raised in Sunflower orphanage, the very same orphanage where Kiryu, Nishki and Yumi were raised. She is in search for her mother, Mizuki, whom we find out is Yumi's sister. ![]() In his search to find out the truth after the attempted assassination of Kazama san, our father like mentor, during Chairman Sera's funeral, Kiryu encounter a young girl, Haruka. I was breezing through the early chapters as I tried to make sense of what was happening. The plot is intriguing and the game features a strong start. There are moves being made by the Shimano family, esp., when 10 billion yen goes missing and the chairman of the Tojo Clan, Sera is assassinated. Yumi is not to be found and Nishkiyama is the patriarch of his own family, but seems to be notorious for some reason. Thrust into a world 10 years later, we do find that the dynamics have changed. From being in the shoes of the sane, stoic Majima in Yakuza Zero, this crazy avatar seems alien at first, but you can see his pure character as you find him determined to have a fair fight with Kiryu. However, believing that he did do it, we find that Majima is helpful enough to bring us back to form.Įvery encounter with him proves eventful and does not seem like a chore and I actively found myself seeking a fight with him. The game uses this as an opportunity to reduce Kiryu's health and heat bar drastically, though I can never imagine a universe, where Kiryu would slack and not maintain his body. ![]() Majimaīeing in jail for 10 years has made us rusty. Taking the blame for the murder, Kiryu is incarcerated for 10 years and when he gets out of jail, he finds that everything has changed. We are reacquainted with Nishkiyama and Reina, whom we have seen in Yakuza Zero, in the Serena bar and Kiryu's love, Yumi However, Kiryu's life is thrown into the fritz when he finds his brother, Nishkiyama, has killed the Dojima family boss, witnessed by Yumi. ![]() We are introduced to Kiryu, who has now garnered a reputation and is soon to start his own family in the yakuza. I was excited to start playing the game and discover the events that would happen in 1995 and further in 2005 and the subsequent changes in the yakuza. At the end of Yakuza Zero, the events of Yakuza Kiwami were hinted at. ![]()
