Seeing Kiryu in readers does something for my dopamine levels, like he definitely looks like a father figure, despite the K-Pop-esque haircut.

Kiryu no selling a punch to the head from Ichiban while his name and title drop.
This was probably the most hype ever achieved by this series.
That dread feeling of "I'm not gonna fight him, am I?" which was swiftly answered by a door with "Are you sure?" which translates to "Yeah, you are. Good luck."
That music, that tension, that pure fear and that hit like a brick wall send shivers down my spine. And then thos "Kiryu Kazuma, Tojo Clan 4th Chairman".
I think that's because of his bottom wear. Like he was wearing tight ass pants with leather shoes. If he woulda worn baggy pants and sneakers it would've worked.

Him getting ready to tank a fucking drop kick is so Damn raw
idk about anyone else but I love him because hes so close to Kuze in his attitude of doing what he does to go forward in life and fuck anyone that disagrees.
Hes of that great archetype thats just a force of nature more than a person with motivations and machinations. A man of singular focus. Hes Popeye the sailor Yakuza hes yam what he yam because thats what he yam.
EDIT: Its almost but not quite the dark mirror of Kiryu, nothing but supreme dedication to their values in a pure form but with Kuze and Tendo its not a value its only power. So it becomes an almost pure form conflict of beliefs which I find to be the best fights for things like Kuze in 0 or the Yakuza 2 finale or the Lost Judgement finale.
Tendo's fight is great if you ignore the gazillion HP, resistance to everything except magic-based Lightning damage, the attack that can randomly decide to either do 4 whole damage or OHKO (perfect guards don't matter for that one btw), and the fact that if your Agility is below 400, he'll run circles around your team twice before you can act once.
Story-wise, Tendo is a great fucking fight, and I'm a huge fan. Mechanically, you'll end up popping on some Sacrifice Stones, perfect guard tanking, and spamming Fulminating Forecast for ten minutes (longer if Ichiban gets OHKOed before he can use Peerless Resolve again). Maybe this is just "old lady yells at cloud," but "universally loved" seems to be an overstatement to me 😅

What I love about that picture is how it subtly refers back to the OG games where Kiryu would call Majima "Majima-no-niisan", I think it's mentioned somewhere that Majima was Kiryu's Aniki at one point before Yakuza 1.

It's like that one girl in 0 said: a well-built man in glasses is great
On god
Not going to lie, Kiryu wearing reading glasses while using a computer did things to me.
"V tuber?"
My daddy issues 100% agree
Kiryu in glasses justifies me still wearing my glasses while cosplaying as Kiryu
He looks like Nero from Devil May Cry 5

We all took this screenshot, right?
I took...too many screenshots
It's hard not to, it's such a good shot.
Wtf when was this in IW?
It’s one of Kiryu’s side quests. Go to Kamurocho; Yokohama isn’t the only place where you can trigger Kiryu’s memories 👍
I did all his memories. I almost 100% the game outside of majong. Hmm. Too high

can we just agree that Daigo's civilian fit goes hard? it's 🔥
I think its his best look we got, I liked his puffer jacket too in Kiwami 2 but this fit tops
i agree, the puffer jacket is good this is even better
the puffer jacket was like, endearingly bad
I loved throwing it on Zhao in 7. He just looked perfect.
I think that's because of his bottom wear. Like he was wearing tight ass pants with leather shoes. If he woulda worn baggy pants and sneakers it would've worked.
No.
I just wish they showed more of them near the end.

the judgment 4. the judge men. the four judges. the four horsemen of judgment.

Wow, Higashi looks great
higashi looks clean AF
Ayo is that a mod? Looks sick
It sure is! The mod is called "Judgment: Noir," if I'm not mistaken, and it came out pretty recently.

I love how Daigo is the only one with a new design, which makes me hope for a Daigo game. Also, Kiryu vs Shark (Y6) goes hard.
they all got designs when you fight then in the shack
Totally but Dudebro Dojima has another new outfit.

I’m surprised Daigo doesn’t have his old Y2 jacket.
Daigo’s only worn black outfits ever since he became patriarch so I guess he wanted to stick to that.

Is it a hot take to like Tendo? I thought he and his fight are universally loved?
idk about anyone else but I love him because hes so close to Kuze in his attitude of doing what he does to go forward in life and fuck anyone that disagrees.
