Kiryu: wait why are you here
Aizawa: my dad paid RGG studios so i can be the final boss
He's the chairman of the Omi you know
LOL
This... weirdly makes sense, hm.
🤣🤣🤣
Kiryu: Is that why Morinaga's suddenly dead?
Aizawa: Yes.
Kiryu: Bruh.
Rikiya's spirit: That's dumb, at this point, I might as well be Haruka's husband.
Just something interesting that the youtuber tehsnakerer noted about this fight.
Kiryu serves as the final obstacle to aizawa’s dream. As the fight progresses, we see kiryu pushing Aizawa further and further away from the Tojo clan HQ until they’re literally outside, symbolizing Kiryu slowly crushing Aizawa’s dream to be chairman.
Amazing perspective glad you shared it
I love it, it's both literal and metaphorical.
@@REDEEMERWOLF the sacred and the propane
On a meta level it's also the signalling the beginning of the end for the tojo since their lord and saviour kiryu himself almost died in snow
kiryu’s dream is just to meat haruka again, he got that at the end
The greatest boss fight with the most inconsequential person ever.
Yakuza is a rough game to explain.
literally top 5 boss fight and top 5 worst final boss at the same time

The Mole is imo but Aizawa is close
The fucking spin off they could do with this man keeps me up at night
@@i-papiseacucumberi-3278 The Mole is one hell of a boss, shame he doesn't have a single QTE in his final fight
@@i-papiseacucumberi-3278
I’m probably in the minority here but Kuwana is better.
My headcanon is that throughout the entire plot after the first part with Kiryu, Aizawa was farming EXP in the Coliseum and getting training through the IF-8 cities while putting in all of his skill orbs. A shame he didn't get a breakthrough with Komaki though
He didnt spend enough time pocket circuit racing
@@orangesoda4535 Well neither did Kiryu!
Bro spent all his soul orbs on health bars
That's literally the case. There's a cuts cent where's he seen fighting a coliseum dude
@@angelusvastator1297in that scene, he was trying to get info from the Florist.
just finished the game 2 days ago and I was so hyped up after the fight I cleaned my house
Congrats on determination

Haha same
S tier fight
C tier character
Can't argue
Pretty accurate
Couldn't have said it better
The whole schtick leading up to the fight was S tier in itself, the part right before the fight in itself bumps him up several ranks to me, he woulda been better if he was given more scenes obviously but this entire confrontation did not miss.
S+ tier soundtrack
I'm guessing that Aizawa was supposed to mirror Kiryu's relationship with their fathers setting up legacies for them.
Kazama always wanted what was best for Kiryu (as we saw in Zero) and essentially gave him the top seat as chairman in Sera's will to make him the peak of what it was to be Yakuza. Kiryu cared for Kazama, and likewise.
Aizawa on the other hand had no relationship with his father, until his father concocted the plan to make Aizawa the leader of both the Tojo and Omi; not because he cared for his son, but out of a selfish desire to use his son to continue his own legacy. Aizawa despised this, but only took it so he could prove to himself that he could reach the peak of being a Yakuza by defeating Kiryu. Not because it was the wish of his father, but for his own legacy.
And then, of course, is the opposition between Aizawa and his dad, to Haruka with Kiryu.
Too bad the game didn't communicate Aizawa's motives all that well or how he's the appropriate final boss!
as said in the other comment, like mirror nishiki as well, both having a carp tattoo, wearing white and ofcourse being the final boss
I disagree with this reading of Tsubasa. Yes he wanted to leave something behind and prove his stance on yakuza to be better than that of main cast, but he chose Aizawa specifically and more importantly, he didn't want Aizawa to go through the same process he did to get to the top. Aizawa's too naive to notice this unfortunately.
Good take. Also fits with the dream theme of Y5.
Is Aizawa fighting for his own dream or is he fighting on behalf of his father's dream? It mirrors Haruka's struggle in this game, in which she was still figuring out if the idol world was really Haruka's dream or was it Park's dream?
With this is mind, his instant retirement is a massive middle finger to kazama
@@DrearyMiri I wouldn't say that. Kazuma never wanted Kiryu (or Nishiki) to join the Yakuza, they basically begged & guilt tripped him.
Hell, it's outright stated that part of Kazama's plan in 0 was that Kiryu could try to make a legit life in real estate. So Kazama would have at least approved of Kiryu leaving to be a father and leaving the Tojo in (what was thought to be) capable hands with Teru, who was Kazuma's ally.
He at least got to meet his future surrogate granddaughter before he sacrificed himself.
As an amatuer fight choreographer, the QTE in this fight is just top notch.
Facts. Its just beautiful
Could someone actually pull this off in real life ??
@@Lnblackberry48 most of them, yes, but the "reverse someone when both of you are falling" and "swing a wooden sculpture with one hand" is impossible
Thanh Hảo Lê pretty impressive most of this is actually humanly possible. You look at things like these and then look at other things and realize how ridiculous this game series gets
@@LThanhHao232 you forgot about Aizawa throwing Kiryu so hard he went through a door and landed into a wall, and how Aizawa kept fighting despite landing face first into the ground from 20 ft.
Mad lad devs...
0:24 Kiryu and Aizawa are JUST as confused as to why Aizawa's the final boss lmao
Aizawa: To be honest, you’re gonna have to ask the writers about that one. Could have went several better ways if you ask me
I don't know if this tops the plan that Kiryu's gang in Yakuza 4 had. You know. Bringing a bunch of money to the Millennium Tower so that their enemies would show up.
Honestly i just beat Yakuza 5 two days back and who was he again? Like I honestly forgot about him, seriously when did he show up-
@@SolidN8 he was one of the 2 bodyguards who went to Kiryu in the first chapter for help trying to find Daigo, the one Morinaga claimed to have killed and buried on top of a mountain
@@elianwilliams What happened to Morinaga? Does he just end up getting killed off screen?
I was honestly hoping for a Haruka vs Kurosawa fight. Seems like a fair matchup.

@@RZ_2K Technically correct
I know quite alot of people doesnt like the sudden reveal of Aizawa and the story in general, but you gotta admit, this fight is badass, especially with the qte's and dat music.
Aizawa's reveal reminds me of shibusawa
The most unexpected character became the final antagonist
@@authorbhattacharjee4957 Well, at least Shibusawa tatto was hidden until very end and you didn't know about his abilities. Also you knew that he is enemy to you and after teasing with Awano you probably started to think that all three lieutenants are capable fighters(or at least that was my case).
Aizawa, on other hand, loses two times before final fight and he was looking like a good guy- impulsive and emotional but still positive character.
And yes- I love both fights
@@lothar4085 Amazing explanation.
@@authorbhattacharjee4957 i expected shibusawa to be the final boss honestly
@@authorbhattacharjee4957 I don’t get what you mean because shibusawa was actively being built up to be a final boss in the later chapters.
I said it before certainly but I think it deserves saying again. I always liked that touch of... mixed excitement and hesitance that Aizawa has when Kiryu reveals his own wound. The realization of him finally having a chance at standing up against a living legend coupled with the realization that what Kiryu throws at him won't even be his best due to the Dragon being gutshot. I'd almost wager that he considered, for a moment, standing down because if he won, it'd be a hollow victory.
Honestly, he has protagonist vibes for me. I wouldn't mind seeing a Judgment-esque spinoff with him, giving him a lot more much needed screentime to develop his character.
Yeah because the entire driving force here was “lol I am strong dumbass bodyguard” to “lol my dad is the omi chairman let’s fight”
In the end, Aizawa chose to fight for a hollow victory and lost.
I think there's a lot of room of potential for Aizawa, he seems like Ichiban, a shounen protagonist rising to the legend status. I wish they'd revisit him but that chance seems slim. If there was more screentime for Aizawa, I think he'd probably be one of my favorite antagonists. He still makes for one of the best boss fights in the series (if not the best), so kudos to him.
What hesitance?🤡
He literally betrayed and killed his aniki, but yeah, protagonist vibes, for sure...
(YAKUZA 6 SPOILER)
kiryu: I will be there whenever you are ready
* fakes his death and runs away a few years later*
* and then unfakes his death because Daigo sucks at his job once again, surprising no one*
@@gaminggoddess85 How can you say something so controversial yet so brave?... (and true)
@@gaminggoddess85 then disbanding of the yakuza isn't Daigo's fault, it's simply a different era where organized crime family can't hide anymore.
@@gaminggoddess85 they are policed? Crazy times
@@SIGNOR-G Yeah, there's been heavy crackdowns on yakuza for a while where before they were kinda viewed as just something that's there. It's probably what inspired the Bleach Japan stuff in 7, the writers like to incorporate current events into the games.
And here it is, one of the most epic final boss fights in the whole series. Ironic that after all Kurosawa did to leave behind for his son, aizawa ultimately just wanted a chance to fight Kiryu to prove himself (hardly the first time that's happened). And that he can soak up at least 12 health bars (or thereabouts) of a beating from a half-dead Kiryu and just keep going. He must have been seriously holding back earlier in the story.
Also, is he supposedly to be mirroring Nishki in this fight? As he has a white suit on, and he also has a carp tattoo on his back. Though that also shows that he's on the verge of becoming a legend of his own, and all he needs to do is slay a dragon to do it.
After the first fight he started "Training in the shadows", he wasn't holding back in the first fight.
I think he is supposed to. Remember with Ryuji, he said that he reminded Kiryu of Nishiki, and because of that, he deserved everything that Kiryu had in him, hence him throwing off his suit. He only does that to worthy foes(cept Shibusawa, he was still young so he probably thought this was just a battle against dragons).
@@arsenal4739 he does that to every final boss and iwami wasn't a worthy foe, aizawa is just a epic fight but shitplot even kiddo from Y4 has a better plot
@@Killingblow976 I'm not fully finished with 5 or know much of 6. I accidentally spoiled myself when I saw this funny modded video of Y5 that had the 1st Aizawa QTE against Haruka. He does feel somewhat bland to me but the fight is cool.
Sucks that Iwami wasn't much good though, I thought he'd be more of a good final boss since Y6 is Kiryu's last game, and it was the first new game after Y0(Ik about Kiwami 1, but that was a remake, 6 would be a new one).
@@arsenal4739 oh my bad, sorry i didn't knew, but iwami is weak for a reason the devs can't bring themselves to make kiryu lose, so they did this last game pretty easy and do new things like Y7
That feel when Aizawa's little speech on how Daigo got everything handed to him is exactly on point...
Funny thing is daigo didn't even want to be chairman, it was kiryu that forced him
@@ginomontella9429 "Sometimes, The Need outweighs The Want"
@@ginomontella9429 Man. This just makes Kiryu's note in 6 even sadder in my opinion.
@@ginomontella9429 I mean was he? He said he wanted to take control of those 3000 men
@@MariusBoss11458 Absolutely
14:54 - 16:16 Probably my favourite ending to a Boss fight, from Haruka’s song to Kiryu beating Aizawa to the final punch.
It’s like something out of an old action movie.
I never saw that part at the end for the older videos of this fight. Must’ve been restored content
That’s the one good part of it really
I like how Kiryu tells Aizawa to get to the top however long it takes and then he can come and try again, and Aizawa is just like 'No dude, I'm good' *passes out*
I loved heck out of it and Yakuza 5 is pretty underrated
@@alexstidham4612 Nah Leon just cut it on old video
The biggest torture with Aizawa is that he wasn't a sinister guy, he wasn't evil, and he wasn't altogether that bad; he just had ambition and a longing desire to see it through, training and working tirelessly for it. He hated his estranged father's plot to make him the head of Tojo and Omi without any work; he knew it would have no meaning if he couldn't prove he was the best, and THAT is why he had to fight Kiryu. And Kiryu understood this and gave him his fight, even saying that he doesn't think Aizawa's line of thinking is wrong.
And then, even after all of that, Kiryu says to keep trying, keep struggling, and he'll be ready to fight Aizawa again when he picks himself back up... but then they never let that chance happen; they just dropped him entirely. It sucks so bad.
You understand what RGG was trying to convey. People give Aizawa a lot of shit. But I think he's a good character.
did you know hanawa is morinaga
@@ldking5132Definitely a good character. He was a good pick. I just wish we had a few more scenes after the coliseum.
@@Hizelly76Just a theory. Not canon.
@@yellowgetbright nuh uh. Yokoyama confirmed.
Kiryu: "What are you doing here?"
Aizawa: "To be honest."
Aizawa: "I am not sure myself."
Kiryu: 😑
even Aizawa and Kiryu are confused why Aizawa's the final boss.
@@_____2219 honestly i liked how the way aizawa thinks. He's not completely wrong, but he's somewhat hypocritical by letting his father (kurosawa) doing the whole plot just to descent both clans to him. If only he stopped kurosawa doing all this before, everything in Y5 wouldnt be happened.
Im interested to meet Y5 people from ichiban's perspective. Judging that Watase still serves as Omi's captain in Yakuza 7 looks like its Katsuya who stepped up as the chairman. Hoping to meet Aizawa and Katsuya as Ichiban, maybe also Kuze and Shibusawa from 0.
Also trivia and spoiler, Aizawa and Ryo Aoki (other name Masato Arakawa, main antagonist in Y7) shares the same first name (masato), and they both sons of some yakuza top boss (kurosawa and masumi Arakawa both served as chairman of Omi for some time).
@@nahrafe It's not necessarily the same name, they only share phonetics. Arakawa has his given name written as 真斗, since it is taken from Masumi's own name and his father's (*To*shio). Aizawa's name is written as 聖人 instead.
@@gold3263301 thank you for the correction
Still, it's kinda nice coincidence
This is my opinion, but if Aizawa was going to be the final villain of the game, they should've had him be the one to kill Aoyoma at the end of the early Kiryu portion instead of his oath brother Morinaga. Had they done this, the build up for this character and him being part of some sort of Yakuza conspiracy to the final villain would've felt more natural. Having Morinaga act like the one of the main players of the conspiracy, lie about killing his oath brother and then die off screen before all the playable characters unite leaves me to question, what the heck was the point of this character?.
In terms of the music, setting and qtes, this fight is probably my favourite final boss in the series. If Aizawa had just been built up a liiiittle bit more before the finale, it'd probably also be my favourite character-wise too. Hot diggity, 5 is so damn good. I wanna play it again after watching this.
Aizawa is the Hamazaki of Yakuza 5.
And Kanai is the Saito
@@gaminggoddess85 Ha yeah. Except I guess Aizawa's problem is a little bigger considering he's the final boss.
A little bit more? He needed like a few hours more atleast.
He have the opposite problem that iwami has
A nice detail in the QTEs is that Aizawa never aims for Kiryu's wound.
Kiryu wants to prove the high is too high to climb by winning in spite of his weakened state and Aizawa wants to prove he can win without taking advantage of the handicap.
He's an honorable opponent, more so than Mine (who tried to shoot Kiryu first) and Ryuji (who used a sword at first). The only thing that drops him a point is that he didn't refuse to fight upon seeing Kiryu's wound, but then again Kiryu had already dropped the gauntlet and the stakes were already way too high to step back.
@@daedelous7094 wdym mine tried to shoot kiryu first??? He was missing on purpose bruh
@@revolt_4588 he wanted to try and rage kill him just like how nishiki tried to rage kill the people that killed fake yumi
I think towards the end of the fight he had a few shots in, like the shot of his wound bleeding a lot more, maybe to signify that he was not truly ready to go 1 on 1
He literally headbutts kiryu in the wound lmao
I just finished Yakuza 5 and this might be my favorite boss fight of all I've played (0-5) so far!
"But you may find it so high, you never want to try again. The taste will be enough"
This Kiryu is the badass he was in 0. Absolute madlad.
Really?! Out of the whole series
@@shakursteadman8169 The boss fights in 0 were all amazing too. This fight would have to contend with every fight with Kuze.
Fun fact: Kiryu shares a quote from shibusawa to aizawa in this scene (“Talent alone can’t get you to the top”). I don’t know if it’s in the remastered version though.
@@emergence109 Oh wow, that's sick.

What a chad
>Gets approved by Kiryu to keep improving, to one day battle him again.
Things to make this boss fight better
1. Remove the battle against him as Saejima, keep his power ambiguous before the final battle.
2. Make him more plot relevant and built up, foreshadow him at least once or twice more with hints linking him to Kurosawa or his ambitions.
3. Hard/Legend Difficulty - Give him his own climax heat he'll use if Kiryu is reduced to such health that he'll be near defeated once executed.
That said, he is still easily one of my favourites.
Yeah and some different movesets after each qte
Aizawa is my favorite Yakuza character. Aizawa is essentially what happens when Nishiki decided to grow two more balls, overcome his hardships and worked his way up until Kiryu encounter to see if he can take him on. It's really sad to see how he is looked down or being memed despite his character is pretty deep. His role as an a antagonist and final boss is different. He wasn't even the main villain. His father was.
He’s not my favorite character, but I totally agree with you. I don’t understand why people shit on him so much, he makes sense to the story and it’s messages and themes. 5 is my favorite game and a part of that was this fight and how I felt it was a fantastic culmination of the entire game’s narrative goals.
I mean you can draw all the parallels and potentially interesting things you want, the fact remains is that story-wise it wasnt well executed.
A good concept that got wasted.

Leon? Like from resident evil??????????
I feel that the boss fight isn't for Kiryu but for Aizawa himself lmao
It was because he didn't care about his father lagecy this was about him and kiryu couldn't fight
kurosawa because he was sick and old either way kurosawa was a loser he didn't care about anyone but himself and he was delusional to believe that hard work gets you to the top any body can do hard work also the people he hired to fight for him were incompetent weak or had a change of heart also everything he did was for nothing and all he did was made everyone he hated strong and exposed his weakness
This fight has the best qtes imo
My favourite part of yakuza 5 was when Aizawa said "it's dreaming time" and dreamed himself to unconsciousness.
I know Kiryu beat his face in too, but that was a secondary cause.
Dude, this fight was LIT. The part where Aizawa throws Kiryu off the balcony and he jumps to punch him and Kiryu grabs his arm and slams him on the floor is awesome.

One of the best things about The Man Who Erased His Name is the way that final boss fight mirrors this one.
To this day, it’s never explained on what happened to Aizawa.
He probably continued to train in the shadows to be able to rematch Kiryu one day, but then Yakuza 6 happened so Aizawa probably will never come back.

In conclusion: Yume wins
On a serious note this fight was pretty damn good aside from the story direction.
Kiryu: “wait, you’re the final boss?”
Aizawa: “Wait, am the final boss?”
Kiryu is 88kg (195 lbs), yet Aizawa is so strong that he’s sending him flying through doors and over balconies. Although Kiryu was even crazier when he sent Aizawa flying through the massive Tojo clan HQ front doors and past the staircase with his knee. Aizawa is likely heavier than Kiryu as well.
Don't try to apply logic of physics to a Yakuza game lol In Y5 everybody gets anime powers
I remember getting to Aizawa and thinking, "Really? He has not plot relevance outside the 2 hours of the game he was in."
And then the fight started and it was so worth it.
I can't count how many times I watch this battle (and the similar videos Leon uploaded) on this channel. The fight is just soooo good, pure badassery, epic, added with a guitar that makes the whole fight enjoyable in player's eyes.
This boss fight is one of the best of the series no 🧢
I was so hyped, I almost started crying
This is the best fight in the whole yakuza series, the visuals and the cinematic feeling is amazing.... the only fight who is toe-toe with this one is Shibusawa
And Ryuji
Goda and Kiryu rolling around on the ground and beating the shit out of each other as they both bleed to death just tops it for me.
Tough decision between this and Ryuji tbf. Ryuji has infinitely more weight thrown behind which gives it the edge.
I’m sorry, the one from Gaiden is better than this one…. Lol
@@andresashura5550nah this is still on top
I like how Aizawa sits on the throne and you beat the shit out of him out of the building.
Finger hurting qte spam
My arm almost fell off during that QTE sequence in the first room. Maybe I didn't need to mash it that fast, but still.
Aizawa is a fucking beast. He lifted up a huge ass fucking statue with one arm, held it in a horizontal way and swung it with full control.
I absolutely love how they mocked Ryuji Goda by having Aizawa throw away the sword he brought to have a fair fight with Kiryu, like a real man should do
At first, I thought Morinaga was going to be the final boss of this game, then Aizawa shows up. It’s so hilarious that Kiryu, me, even Aizawa, questions on why Aizawa is the final boss.
I think what they were going for here was Aizawa is equal to Kiryu physically, and he thought that's all he needed to rule, but there's more to Kiryu than just physical strength
but like kiryu had an opening bullet wound didn't he? so like he can't even beat a severely injured kiryu
Kiryu was literally fighting him half dead , lol how are they equal?
@@JJsAdventure23 eh IDK I don't know the story of yakuza 5
I always thought it was more like he’s nowhere near his level yet but he has the potential to be a yakuza legend so kiryu proves that by beating the shit out of him with an open wound literally bleeding out during the fight to show him how much he still has to go.
I don't think so. Aizawa is definitely strong, but I personally doubt that he could compare to Kiryu at full strength. I think it was only such a difficult battle for Kiryu because of his wound.
If Kiryu was at full strength, I imagine Aizawa would only have like 2 health bars for him to beat.
This wasn’t just the hardest fight, this was the *hardest* theme too
I didn't think his boss fight was hard. But I might play the game on Legend Mode
Nah THE SELFISH DEED ISNT FREEDOM AND no there’s no change in the plan is way better
@@jonncana9 you got selfish deed wrong, its:
THE SELFISH DEED, IS NOT FREEDOM! Even if, it falls down.
@@Celticjamz JUST DEFEAT!!!!!!
The cut from the final QTE to Haruka is one of the cheesiest things ever and I absolutely adore it
Kiryu gets stumbled: Nghh
Aizawa gets stumbled: DORUHHWH
This is probably the best boss fight of Yakuza, even beating the boss fight against Nishiki. Shame the plot was just thrown at the end with no relevance.
Nah, Shishido is n.1 🐐
I love this fight so goddamned much
also I definitely was wasted and missed that last QTE the first time I did it again on legend lmao
I just beat this game and I don't know why people often rate it so low, I loved it, from start to finish.
Not only it adds a lot of new, refreshing mechanics but the story also wasn't that bad, sure, Aizawa being a twist villain is so dumb, but aside from that I feel like this game is tied with Zero as in how good it is.
Some things i had the double check about the fight.
Kiryu constantly checks his wound but Aizawa never aims at it. Aizawas moves always aim at his uoper body or grapple at the hip. Kind of cool that Aizawa wants to prove himself that he can win without a handicap. Kiryu also bleeds more intensely through the fight, which is a weird way to show someone overcoming weakness, considering he almost dies from bloodloss.
.
This ending is going to be in my head for a while.
Logic Aside (sorry Leon I couldn't resist), this was honestly a Brilliant Final Boss. :^)
Maybe not exactly story wise, given how he's just a last minute twist villain with little time to develop properly, but Gameplay wise it was honestly amazing! Probably one of my favourite Final Bosses, other than Shibusawa and Nishika, all things considered.
(Edit: Also, the Music Syncs you achieved in this Video are absolutely Top Notch! I'm guessing we'll need a new Music Sync compilation Video in the near future... ;) )
Finally you're done with Y5 Remastered. I say you're ready to play the ENG version of Y:LAD this November!
Say what you will about the character, or even the fight, but the QTE cinematics are easily the best they've ever been in the series, nothing really comes close
Final boss of Like a Dragon Gaiden comes pretty close
But Kiryu vs. Aizawa will always be the best fight
Y5 : The guardian of Tojo Clan vs The usurper of the Tojo Throne
Y Gaiden : The man who leave everything vs The man who struggle for nothing
Tojo really messed up huh, but unlike Shishido, Aizawa wanted a fight to get the throne while Shishido just wanted to get the discarded throne that unobtainable no matter what.
This but with Ichiban and in Millenium Tower will be Like a Dragon: Dragon's Wrath
And then this but with Kiryu and Ichiban vs Ryo Aoki and Aizawa will be Yakuza 9: Unlimited Health
15:55 literally gave me goosebumps
I honestly think this was the thought process of the writers: "Alright its time for the big final boss at the end of the game which we can't make Kurosawa since he's a sick old man... And there isn't really anyone else we can make final boss... Fuck it, let's make a new character and insert him in random parts of the story and make him the final boss that's a good idea."
beat this dude by the skin of my teeth, with flashing HP and no healing items remaining. (also, I didn't level anyone to cap. kiryu was, like, level 18 with no fancy komaki nonsense)
like, I'm disappointed that the longest main campaign in the franchise couldn't find time to give its final boss much more than half an hour of screentime (this boss fight included, honestly)... but hot damn, they went hard on a guy i was smacking the daylights out of 40 hours earlierm
This entire fight is perfect music syncs galore. It's hard to pick a favourite moment.
Aizawa might be a shitty villain, but fuck me if this wasnt the best final boss battle in the damn series.
I swear comments like these are getting repetitive. The whole Aizawa thing just started as a joke but then its getting serious. He wasn't even the main bad guy. He is just a final obstacle.
0:00-0:03 i need one hour version
9:37 This man did it again! Music sync!
In the time it took Kiryu to get a cab to Tojo HQ, then beat up Aizawa, freakin nobody has left the roof yet to go check on whether the bleeding guy is okay.
I'll tell you more: Watase Family, Yamagata Family and that other family pulled up to Kamurocho just to say "Akiyama, you're fucking great. Thank you for your greatness"
Akiyama ks fucking god tier, but atleast someone could pull up to Tojo HQ, since Kiryu is fuckin' wounded and tired
Btw devilleon I love your vids. You're just fun to listen to and your fighting skills in these yakuza games are astounding. I envy you man. Keep up the good work💪
I can't help but sense the Virtua Fighter vibes when I hear this fight's theme.
Kiryu: Why are you here?
Aizawa: To be honest, … I’m not sure why.
Kiryu: … *looks at the camera*
Writers of Yakuza 5: Just keep going Kiryu.
Man I love how it goes from Haruka singing to the fight. I can see what they were going with that. I definitely think that it could have been made better but it's still cool.
I think It would be extremely interesting If Aizawa came back in Like a Dragon Gaiden, after training for years so he could defeat Kiryu he finally comes back, I think he would work well as Kiryu's last challenge (well, at least in brawler gameplay)
Masato Aizawa (The Battle for the Dream).
Fighting through all the fights and this dude in the final boss rush was hype af
Everyone wants to fight Kiryu but no one asks how's Kiryu
This is peak final boss fight imo, Yeah story wise and character wise its weird and out of place but the actual fight is the best boss fight in the series imo, ( I didnt count Judgment's final boss )
You know how OP Kiryu is when he have to be NERFED with injury during final boss fight
Man, there's so much more impact from the hits in Yakuza 5, 0, K1. Really wish they could get back to that in the Dragon Engine games
This has always been my biggest gripe woth the dragon engine games. Especially things like weapon attacks look really wimpy sometimes.
Really sad he didnt return in gaiden
If Aizawa had attempted another coup in 2019, he might succeed.
Yakuza 5 is PEAK KIRYU
Gotta admit, Aizawa being the final boss was a surprise (I initially expected the likes of Watase or Katsuya at least before the other protagonists' finales), but I loved the fight with all those hype QTEs and just the right final boss difficulty (strong AF healthwise and really challenges you to be careful with your choice of combos/hits).
I expected Morinaga
Aizawa : I dont know why im here
Kiryu : I also dont know but get ready to get kicked your ass
Azaiwa : Ok
One of the best fights in the series. Thanks for this, it's just a pleasure to watch.
after all these years I just realized this fight has shitton amount of qtes. The newer games' final bosses barely have any qte for their fights. sad
my god, the music sync from 9:36 to 11:28 is literally perfect
I actually like Aizawa. Not my favourite final boss character (favourite boss battle tho), but he has interesting thoughts. Every yakuza final boss adds some new meaning to the Gokudô. They all have gone to extreme path, but in unique ways. Aizawa resembles Nishiki a lot btw.
10:45, Man Aizawa was really boutta hit Kiryu with the meanest Mario Forward Air of all time😭
4:04 its a lie. Aizawa never 'whack' Morinaga because of that reason, he simply faked Morinaga's death so he can become someone named 'Hanawa'.
Masayoshi Yokoyama ova here. Its not stated yet
RGG Studio did not have to go this hard on a boss fight but it paid off, super fun fight
9:54 i always wondered wtf happened with the lighting in this part
Kiryu: Ora Ora Ora ORAH!
Tbh I feel like Kiryu is the actual final boss here
this is rad
Kiryu : aizawa what are you doing here?
Aizawa : im not sure myself but lets fight
Yeah chief, that makes perfect sense
6:07
"The son of a chairman shouldn't get to be the chairman, that is why I, the son of a chairman should be the chairman"
???
The studio spent all their brain juice on the design of the fight itself but they ran out of it when they had to justify it
enzo gomez they could have had Aizawa murder/overpower Morinaga onscreen to give Kiryu a reason to fight him for example if they decide to kill Morinaga anyway. Such a dumb move imo.
With more development Aizawa would have been one of my favorite villains.
the mandela affect hit me hard, I swear for the longest time I thought Y5 final boss was Watase.
