The thing is Shinada wants Baba to learn not just walking away from the portrait like nothing happened. Just like Shinada did years ago; running away instead of finding the truth.
Baba: oh I was just leaving... Shinada: no were fighting right here right now in the middle of this idol concert Baba: who even are you? Shinada: AHHHHHHHHHH
The only thing I got out of Shinada's lecture is basically he may of meant like.. "What, you're just gonna walk away and pretend like this all never happened? You're gonna have to face the consequences weather you like it or not, and I'll make sure you see the error of your ways." That's what I think anyway. o_o
+Sonny BA Yup, be aware that your actions have consequences that affect other people. Walking away isn't enough, even considering doing these actions has punishments you must endure.
Whether anyway the guy just wanted to leave, but kept getting stopped was confused and kept asking questions! He was the final boss and he was just defending himself!
You may think Shinada's entrance to Baba fight is funny and out-of-place and the fact that he use baseball's pun just confused Baba even more. But remember that had Shinada not coming, Baba could have find a secluded corner and kill himself
This location is probably my favourite in the series. The concert lighting up the background and the music makes it a great final fight for Shinada. I doubt he'll appear in 6 but I wouldn't mind seeing a quick cameo from him.
Man imagine if Shinada didnt stop and knock some sense into Baba. What would Baba have done? I feel as though he might've just went to some place where he can be alone before finally killing himself, believing that to be a better alternative than what Kurosawa and his men might've done to him for not going through with the plan to shoot Haruka. In the end he would've just cemented himself as a coward who couldn't bring himself to do anything. This is why Saejima sent Shinada after Baba to save him. Not from Kurosawa or anyone else, but from himself. This fight taught Baba about responsibility.
Especially knowing saejima he probably knew from shinadas looks alone the he knew what he meant by "remind baba" aka literally beat some sense into him since really... Its obvious that deep down baba really is just scared of his actions Why do you think he loves going back to prison? Because he finally gets to find a place to actually think about what to do He'll probably leave the yakuza and end up as a bartender knowing him but eh Still i loved how this all went down
Okay, but let's take the time to appreciate that Shinada is basically using a baseball analogy to drive home his point. The "camera" he's referring to is the tripod that was left behind, which I presume was supposed to hold up the rifle. Baseball cameras are usually set up to capture the players, but later advancements allowed them to capture home runs. The "score sign stealing" and "behind the scenes" stuff is the fact that he was even there to shoot Haruka, or 'steal Haruka's score", so to speak. He also left behind signs that would point to him as being the would-be shooter. Shinada chides him for not taking his job seriously -- in other words, what other people have said at this point. Responsibility. If you don't own up to the shit you do, it's going to haunt you for the rest of your life. Just as it's the behind the scenes people's responsibility to ensure that a proper experience of a ball game is given to its home-viewing audience, Baba has to own up to the responsibility of what he was doing, whether he actually did so or not. Which is why Shinada decided he was gonna take the guy down himself if he has to.
The "behind the scenes" stuff Shinada is talking about is actually a little different from providing a good view for the audience. 'Scorers' in this context refers to people who observe the pitcher's "signs" from afar and relay the information to the batter's team's director, coaches, etc. to provide tactical advantage. That's what "stealing the sign" means. Essentially, Baba's been doing dirty work behind the scenes in the yakuza world, kinda like the scorers in the pro baseball scene.
Wasn't the camera actually a camera used to monitor Baba and Haruka. It was shown before Saejima fought Majima that there is live footage of Haruka performing. Like, to show Haruka performing and Baba doing the job of shooting her in case Majima fails to stop Saejima?
@@cristianeric5933 Yeah. 9 months late, but that checks out -- it's a dicey thing, having that sort of murder be presented to pretty much *everyone* watching the broadcast. Baba wouldn't be able to live with himself. And considering the gun stigma in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if people tracked him down with extreme prejudice just to hand him his sentence, how long it takes be damned.
@@user-fn6mh4op7m This is five years late, but man, this ended up being especially relevant at the time of posting given the Astros' cheating scandal was all the rage.
@@ThentaviusI don't think the footage was broadcasted to the anyone besides Kurosawa's phone. It was there to confirm to Saejima and Majima that Majima losing ends up in Haruka's death. It's a huge blackmail tactic that keeps Majima and Saejima in a death fight and monitors Baba in doing his job of shooting Haruka if needed
Saejima told Shinada he had to save Baba, and that couldn’t happen by just letting Baba walk away without learning anything, so Shinada followed Saejima’s wish of saving him by combat
0:36 Shinada meets Baba 0:42 Shinada realizes that what Saejima said in the underground is true 0:47 noticed the camera(or bipod) and the "box" and realizes that Baba has cancelled the plan And Shinada is very angry of Baba's escape without acknowledging his fault(In fact Saejima wants to "save" Baba) So that's what "Responsibility" means
Yeah its great especially for his character A more rough and tough but weak style that relies more of wepons then your fits honestly fits his washed out 15 years stuck in a dream he wouldn't have to begin with if he wasn't a fucking puppet
Lol what story? The dude had very little to do with main plot line and his fighting style was weak sauce I'd take tanimura as a protagonist over him anyday. He'd be a good comic relief/support character though
He may had little to do with the main story, but i prefered Shinada's story and character over Tanimura's ones: his story actually takes more its time, the character is more reliatable while still being interesting, his boss fights are more memorables (although i still take Tanimura gameplay wise as well), and he's better voiced. Maybe this has also to do with the fact that i didn't really like Yakuza 4's main story.
I'd have to agree on both of your points. I actually enjoyed playing as Shinada more than Tanimura in the contexts of story and gameplay. And this is coming from a guy who actually loved playing as Tanimura alot in Yakuza 4. As far as gameplay goes...Tanimura is definitely the more clean and stylish fighter. But as much as I enjoyed his fighting style, I always felt it was incomplete overall. There just weren't many options. His main attack string was slow and sluggish even after boosting the speed of his attacks, and there weren't many ways you could fight. And his unique blocking animation was neat, but didn't offer much in the way of options--and was also too easy to do. Just gave you an opportunity to get behind the opponent to either start your attack string or use a heat move. His only unique trait was the hitbox on his hard attack. That kick could hit an enemy/boss off the ground 3 times in a row. Looks super dumb in practice tho. Overall, I felt that Tanimura's style lacked the depth that Kiryu, Akiyama, and Saejima's styles had. And overall, these limitations made his boss fights much more harder to deal with, as a number of his best qualities don't work well against bosses. Shinada on the other hand comes off as a sloppy but creative brawler. His strikes lack the grace of Tanimura's, but Shinada nonetheless makes use of a number of aspects of Tanimura's gameplay. His attack strings can conclude with grab finishers--albeit non-heat move grab finishers. He has a unique heat move for downed opponents. He also has a variation of Tanimura's parry that requires tight execution and timing. And like Tanimura, he has a strong focus on weapons. However, the main difference with Shinada is that his abilities are fairly effective against bosses. And you can build his skill tree up to emphasize his abilities, which I found especially lacking in Tanimura's gameplay--such as increasing Shinada's grip strength. Overall, Shinada takes much of Tanimura's gameplay innovations, and executes these innovations much better in practice. As far as story goes, I feel that Shinada was alot more unique. Tanimura's story was cool, but the grifter and jaded cop unearthing corruption in his own force is a story we've seen before. His relationship with Chinese immigrants in Japan was a unique take, but hardly explored overall in the story. Shinada on the other hand? He's a freakin disgraced baseball player turned smutty adult magazine writer with a heart of gold. His relationship with his loan shark is also pretty awesome too. Overall he stands out among his cast. And having a story perspective taking place at the civilian level for once was a nice and welcome change. The only thing I found kind of unrealistic was his uncanny ability to fight. Contrary to what the Yakuza wiki erroneously claims, Shinada is obviously not a novice fighter. Early in the story it's quite clear that he can throw down with the toughest of opponents, like Daigo for instance. Not to mention, he's the only character in the game with a parry option. Nothing in his past suggests that he would be an amazing fighter. Yet he is. Overall I just find Shinada to be better at everything Tanimura does for the series. While Tanimura has a clean and flashy style, you never feel powerful playing as him, as much of his gameplay strengths are ineffective against bosses. Shinada, however, feels alot stronger. Much of what Tanimura brings to Yakuza gameplay wise is executed better in Shinada's hands overall.
I kinda wish to see Takeshi Kido as either the Captain of Saejima Family, or Patriarch of Kido Family, Subsidiary of Tojo Clan vs Shigeki Baba as either the Captain of Omi Alliance, or Patriarch of Baba Family, Subsidiary of Omi Alliance I can even see both dudes becoming sworn brothers just because both dudes look up to the same dude. I'm pretty sure that would be -dope- rad.
this is easily one of the best boss fights ever in all of yakuza, the theme is AMAZING, the QTES are sick, how it ends is just so beautiful, then we got shinada crying on the phone which honestly almost made me cry
Yeah,wouldn't be surprised if Saejima asked Shinada "how did you stop Baba?" and he was like "da fuq do I know? I was high man,just said so baseball mumbo-jumbo"
I too didn't understand this but after rewatching he's saying pay for your crimes (continuing to work with Kurosawa even after getting beat by Saejima) basically. The beginning stuff was him getting mad over Baba not doing his job properly, which is odd lol
It's interesting, when Saejima fought Baba it felt like a miniboss but because Shinada is in a lower weight class than the legends he's with, Baba is actually a challenging opponent. Shinada can't tank Baba's fancy combos like Saejima could and he can ragdoll him, so he has to play smart, stopping each of Baba's attacks before going on his own.
While I was like "Wat." when Shinada gave his little lecture, this is one of my favorite fights in the game because of the music and intensity of the fight(or I just sucked 😂). Also fighting in a concert while it's still going on and no one notices helps too haha.
+PKWhopper Hey, you're not the only one that loves this fight despite the cryptic lecture Shinada gave xD I love the QTEs in this fight, especially the last one!

@@dalelumina3 I was up all night all day playing them, i have no life and alot of freetime lol. I'm currently on 7 right now and I'm loving the business tycoon minigame, better than the financial one from 0 imo
wait can someone tell me why are they taking baba back to prison??? he has been released through parole though! why are they taking him back??? is that because he try to kill kitakata? but kitakata didn't die did he? he was at the final scene. and he refused to kill haruka. the same for saejima. why are they sending taiga back to prison?
Baba has probobly killed and done a lot worse behind the scenes, i mean he was a hitman. Him wanting to go back just means he wants to finish his time to take responsibility for his sins. Saejima went back to also finish up his time so that the cops dont bring him in a third time lol
@@koolerman4443 honestly with the implications of baba wanting to end it... He probably would have just left to kill himself in some shed somehere for thinking hes a spineless coward constantly switching sides
I'm still so confused about baba's story.... Was he actually in prison for 10 years? Did he actually belong to the kitakata family?? At the start of saejima's arc we're told he just got transferred to abashiri 🤨... It's so confusing lol
I feel the writers didn't put as much effort into Shinada's story. It was alright but it seemed a bit lackluster. I mean......he shows up for a final boss fight.....but he doesn't even know the final boss. AND the boss is uninterested in fighting. Still, I appreciated the phone call at the end.
Ironic how Baba fighting style is Jeet Kune Do. Founded by Bruce Lee. The idea of this martial art is "Be like Water". Yet Baba has a fire aura and he doesn't seem to act like water...
The shit with final boss fights not having dynamic intros is extremely anticlimactic and lazy, you gotta go all out in the finale damn it! Both Akiyama's and Shinada's boss fight.
Shinadas ending with him crying on the phone was beautiful
Bro, I wasn't expecting it too. Caught me off guard and got me choked up because the poor dude just wanted somewhere to belong lmao
@@LukeyMia4 And then we immediately get a mood whiplash when Shinada taunts Kurosawa.

You play smart and cautiously. I just have this urge to jump in and trade blow for blow like I'm a character from DBZ or sum shit lol

Ye I also prefer trading blows. I do it alot in yakuza 0 with kiryu
Maybe I'm genuinely insane but I dont get the hate on Shinada's fighting style. I loved it.
Yeah its great especially for his character
A more rough and tough but weak style that relies more of wepons then your fits honestly fits his washed out 15 years stuck in a dream he wouldn't have to begin with if he wasn't a fucking puppet
I think part of it is that Kiryu and Saejima are beyond broken in this game and they're the introductions to the combat.
My only issue with shinada is he doesn't have a proper counter.
You can pull off some good grapple combos with him, even against bosses. Almost all his fights were great to play (The Komaki's gave me ptsd).
@@brendanpelkey120 he has the grab counter
Shinada is definitely a better fourth playable character than Tanimura.
Not to mention his story was just well, better than Tanimura's.
I can see why he is better than Tanimura story wise but gameplaywise? Questionable imo.

@@dalelumina3 I was up all night all day playing them, i have no life and alot of freetime lol. I'm currently on 7 right now and I'm loving the business tycoon minigame, better than the financial one from 0 imo
@@dkb115 I started kiwami 2 in October and I just started legend mode lmao (last trophy) you're fast
Noticed?The opening BGM is the same one of yakuza 4 final battle opening.
Baba chan lil bro 😊
What's the name of the song?
The mutual fists
Does Shinada have any combos at all?
He has 3.
Baba, It's time to face reality! Quit running away and from your responsibility!?
*Me being all Blunt to Baba*
Baba was up against a guy who only had 4 bars of heat and he STILL got kicked in by the, and I quote, "Greatest chucklefuck to walk the earth"
wait can someone tell me why are they taking baba back to prison??? he has been released through parole though! why are they taking him back??? is that because he try to kill kitakata? but kitakata didn't die did he? he was at the final scene. and he refused to kill haruka.
the same for saejima. why are they sending taiga back to prison?
they both wanted to go back to properly finish their time in prison.
Baba has probobly killed and done a lot worse behind the scenes, i mean he was a hitman. Him wanting to go back just means he wants to finish his time to take responsibility for his sins. Saejima went back to also finish up his time so that the cops dont bring him in a third time lol
@@koolerman4443 honestly with the implications of baba wanting to end it... He probably would have just left to kill himself in some shed somehere for thinking hes a spineless coward constantly switching sides
4:10
shinada was a cool character
but I prefer to play as Tanimura
I wish in yakuza 6 we get to play with both
4:02 Shinada is receive copyright claim. :)
What Baba saw & heard for the entirety of Shinada’s rant: th-cam.com/video/Sjkg1he28Ok/w-d-xo.html
I'm still so confused about baba's story.... Was he actually in prison for 10 years? Did he actually belong to the kitakata family?? At the start of saejima's arc we're told he just got transferred to abashiri 🤨... It's so confusing lol
Those were just lies
No, he belongs to Omi originally. Not sure if he's a full member of Omi or just a hired assassin.
@@adamharits2630 I think he was just a Hired assasin, or an assasin who only works for omi.
@@koolerman4443 no he was always working for the kuroha family under kurosawa
They cheated shinada on his final boss, great music and qtes but he has even less health than his first fight.
Bananas
I feel the writers didn't put as much effort into Shinada's story. It was alright but it seemed a bit lackluster.
I mean......he shows up for a final boss fight.....but he doesn't even know the final boss. AND the boss is uninterested in fighting.
Still, I appreciated the phone call at the end.
Ironic how Baba fighting style is Jeet Kune Do. Founded by Bruce Lee. The idea of this martial art is "Be like Water". Yet Baba has a fire aura and he doesn't seem to act like water...
Is it just me or was shinada just rambling on about some baseball mumbo jumbo in the first half of his pre-fight speech? Lol
The shit with final boss fights not having dynamic intros is extremely anticlimactic and lazy, you gotta go all out in the finale damn it!
Both Akiyama's and Shinada's boss fight.
Hell. Akiyama doesn’t have a single Dynamic intro in this game. Shinada has one against Daigo.
I think he just went senile
