no offence but why would i watch the new series when i can just replay Y0 instead 😌
listen i love Kiryu with all my heart but this forced parental relationship they keep pushing between him and Daigo piss me the fuck off like this is so fucking disrespectful to Majima who reigned in Daigo's little emo ass since '0 fucking 6 and was actually THERE to support him every step of the way when he was made Chairman. like how does the cutesy moments Kiryu and Daigo shared back when he was a snot-nosed kid lay the foundation for Kiryu being a damn father figure to him when Goro Majima is RIGHT FUCKING THERE!?!?
#majima who took on the role of practically babysitting Daigo when Kiryu bailed yet again#majima who put the entire muscle of his family and his own reputation at stake to prop up Daigo#who mentored and supported Daigo throughout all these years of Kiryu's absense#who practically ran the clan even though it was the last thing he wanted to do#majima might not have been the father Daigo deserved but he sure as fuck was miles ahead of both Dojima and Kiryu#fucking fight me on this#yakuza#yakuza 0#yakuza 2#like a dragon infinite wealth#majima goro#dojima daigo#kiryu kazuma#kazumaji

#TACHIKIRYU / #MAJIMAKO : I won’t melt, I won’t cry
#god the minute i think I'm over Y0 shit like this pulls me right back in#anyway Tachikiryu was 10000% meant to mirror Majimako and both had romantic implications#like please did you SEE the way Kiryu broke down after Tachibana's death??? we've never seen him like that before#it's all just so good narrative foils falling in love with siblings who were doomed by fate#good god its so tragic i love them all so much#majimako#tachikiryu#yakuza 0
Nah but it's so funny to me how Kiryu ugly sobs and screams his lungs out and cradles Tachibana so close in his arms and refuses to part with him even as his sister comes close to hold him during his death scene but with Yumi (who's supposed to be the love of his life apparently lmao) he doesn't even shed a single tear when she dies like ?????? Sir????
#like Kiryu???? She's the person you've loved for decades now and the best you can do as she's bleeding out is stare at her fucking face???#this was too funny to me I feel horrible that I was trying not to laugh during that entire scene#like honey wtf are you even doing???#he was also so damn clueless when the pendant reveal happened lmao#even Haruka who hasn't known Yumi for long had a more devastating reaction than this bitch#and its not like Kiryu can't emote#i know my bitchass cried like a baby because he looked so fucking sad when Tachibana passed#like when will SEGA just let the homosexual be idk#sigh anyway#tachikiryu my babies 😭#yakuza#yakuza kiwami#yakuza 0
God I just finished chapter 14 of Y0 and Tachikiryu shippers I GET IT NOW GOD I was such an idiot to nor see this before.
There's so much I want to say about their relationship in the later sections of the game (and even analyse Tachioda while we're at it) but goddamnit if I think for more than 2 minutes about the blatant parallels between Tachikiryu (+ Oda) and Majimako (+ Sagawa) I just might go insane holy shit HOLY SHIT
Also this makes me wonder if Kazumaji ever bonded over their complicated feelings for the Makimura siblings.
#gosh the tragedy of almosts#Kiryu's reaction to Tachibana getting torchured being so intense that it explicitly mirrors Majima's rage on seeing Makoto get shot is just-#both of them being ready to go against the Tojo alone for the sake of their beloved#and the fact that this Tachibana's death scene is the kost expressive we see Kiryu throughout the entire damn game is just sohdiwjwowkw#plus the “cradling in arms” scene directly paralleling Majima's in YK2 is the cherry on top reallh#gosh I have so so much kore to say#hdhierhowjeheowjsjw#why is this game so good why is it so well written why does it keep breaking my heart over and over again GODDAMNIT SEGA#yakuza 0#kiryu kazuma#majima goro#tachibana tetsu#makoto makimura#tachikiryu#majimako#kazumaji#yakuza
Okay but has anyone ever wondered why some of the popular locations that are present on the maps of both Kamurocho and Sotenbori like "Maharaja" disco and "Gandhara" video shop have Indian origin names??
Like Maharaja means "King" or "Emperor" in many Indian languages while Gandhara is an important kingdom in the main plotline of the ancient mythological epic Mahabharata, located near the northwest part of the Indian subcontinent.
So, I wonder what prompted the creators to name these places these very random things? And why these two in particular? Is there a real life connection here as well, as with everything else in Yakuza? Was there an active (and presumably wealthy) Indian community in Japan's nightlife scene in the 80s and 90s? Or is it just to seem worldly and exotic?
I need answers, SEGA. Belonging to perhaps one of the rarest nationalities to play Yakuza, I NEED ANSWERS.
#maybe im just looking too much into the names of two very overall insignificant locations#but im indian and i will take whatever i can get okay#if anyone has any information about it PLEASE rb or dm me or anything#i just need to know this has been bothering me for so long#gonna tag many yakuza related tags just so this reaches almost the entire fanbase#yakuza#yakuza 0#yakuza kiwami#yakuza kiwami 2#kamurocho#sotenbori#kiryu kazuma#goro majima#kazumaji#RGG#ryu ga gotoku

Happy Pride to Kokoa’s Dad 🏳️🌈
Lmaoooo this substory was so much fun and just so very gay. One of Majima's potential options when Koko asked him to be her "boyfriend" was "I'm not interested in women!" And then he goes on to bond real nicely with her dad (to the point of accidentally seducing him instead please 🙏)
#these charactera have like 5 minutes of screentime but they mean so much to me#when you think about it Koko and her dad are what Haruka and Kiryu eventually will be Lmaoo#also Koko gives off major sapphic vibes 💅#like father like daughter hehe#anyhoo#it's just three gay people doing gay things#yakuza 0

no. listen. fucking Listen. majima is the cinderella in 24-hour cinderella and makoto is the prince this is not some queer subtextual extrapolation this is just text.
majima, a dirt-poor indentured servant kept in check by an evil stepmother (shimano) and stepsister(s) (sagawa, and you could reach a little and say nishitani is the other one but he's more of a wild card).
he puts on a fake smile and embraces the toiling work in the hopes that one day he will make it out.
but then he gets a chance. a ticket out of his situation. he meets a fairy godmother...wen hai lee (STAY WITH ME OKAY)
the fairy godmother leads him to...the prince!! makoto!!!
other people, like the stepsisters/sagawa, just want to use the prince/makoto for wealth. cinderella/majima is the only one who truly cares for the prince/makoto. but they must part ways too soon, and the prince doesn't even know cinderella's name or what she normally looks like.
but what did cinderella leave behind?
