Kuze was perfect as some sort of Anti-Hero. The first 3 times you fight him, Kuze only thinks of you as a piece of dogshit punk that he stepped on, something he has to scrub off the face of the earth... When Kiryu hits Kuze in the fourth fight as hard as he could. It wasn't about a Punk-ish Kiryu, that fight showed how Kiryu was defending a fatally injured friend. At this point, it wasn't about just some plot of land, it was about Kiryu defending what he thought was the most important. Kuze even says, "I'll be damned. The punk kid's finally turned... turned into a true yakuza". The final fight between Kiryu and Kuze, it wasn't about attempting to kill him, it was only to test if Kiryu was willing to step into the deepest depths of Yakuza hell to achieve his goal. Whoever written Kuze's whole arc here needs to get a fucking raise.
I mean the third fight kuze was talking about how you have to take hits and keep going. In the final fight kuze hits kiryu straight in the face but he still stood and I think that's probably when he understood he's got the strength.
Does it need it? The two of you have come to an understanding of what is to happen. Nothing heat of the moment, nothing really resembling a time limit as of then. Just the two of you knowing that this fight is going to happen, that it HAS to happen.
@@Artakha9000 Considering the context of THAT fight, it was needed. That was heat of the moment "I'm gonna beat your butt" type. The final fight was a more calm, collected understanding.
First fight: I hate this guy. Second fight: I REALLY hate this guy. Third fight: I'm really getting sick and tired of fighting you. Fourth fight: Maybe you're not wholely evil, but I still hate your guts. Fifth fight: I hate you, but I understand you. We might've been friends if our circumstances had been different. It sucks that this is going to be our last fight.
Kuze was a true man he fought till the very end till he finally lost once and for all, honestly he was one of a kind in the entire series a true yakuza and man all in all, what a legend!!!
Kuze's last fight is like "You know what kid? Maybe you really are serious about all of it. You got what it takes, and I can't stop you for that. But hey, I'm proud of you."
The fight where Oath plays (not Pledge) doesn't have a dynamic intro for some reason, so there was no clear answer to what should've been their pick. (the bike scene already belongs to Pledge, too strong to use here)
I think the moment in the final battle at the start of the QTE sequence where Kuze rushes Kiryu, deflects the first blow, and counters with his own as both they look uncertain would be an ideal image.
@@LevantineR1 or just before it where Kuze shrugged off a punch from Kiryu saying "Don't underestimate me" or maybe the last shot of him before the fight starts with him squaring off with Kiryu.
@@John-StarkNah Kuze still holds onto his morals and Yakuza path, Kiryu was just able to prove to him that he is a true Yakuza and Kuze came to respect him for it.
@@hadijamot2927 I guess then you're hooked anyway. Going from K2 to Y3 feels a bit strange because the Kiwami games have a newer engine but after a few hours you get used to it.
I did the same and didn't regret it one bit. I bought Yakuza 0 off of a whim in 2017 and within a year Yakuza became my favorite ongoing franchise, and it still hasn't been surpassed by anything else yet.
@@djspectrebolt8450 the path of the Yakuza opens to abilities some could say are unnatural. I mean seriously have you seen the Shadow clones of Majima for that one fight? ^^ Kuze may be even weaker in his 80's but for sure he is smh going to still be a grandpa thzt can still k*ck your ass if you aint carefull
@topple exactly, the dude we drop kicked from the window did. Why couldn't we dismantle him while kuze is trying to stop you from murdering his idiotic underling? (Trying in the "i guess he's a family member, so I guess I have to defend him.")
@@TheSimmr001 Just before Kiryu stampedes in, Kuze smashes Yoneda's head down after dealing the fatal blow to Tachibana. You can even see blood pouring out of his head, so I'm inclined to believe Kuze killed Yoneda since he doesn't get back up to fight you afterwards.

“Damn… that punk kid, Kiryu… all this time I said he is a Yakuza 0. He isn’t. He’s a Yakuza Kiwami!”
That's not what an anti-hero is, he's just a cool antagonist who isn't really a villain, and stops being a primary antongist by the end of the game
But in the first 3 fights Kiryu is fighting to defend Kazama
The fact that the final Kuze fight didn't have a dynamic intro is a fucking crime.

It just kind of felt jarring compared to the last fight, which had one.

“Man of Pride: Daisaku Kuze”
I liked how the title card appeared over Kiryu though.
I'm not really sure why, but it stuck out to me.
First fight: I hate this guy.
Second fight: I REALLY hate this guy.
Third fight: I'm really getting sick and tired of fighting you.
Fourth fight: Maybe you're not wholely evil, but I still hate your guts.
Fifth fight: I hate you, but I understand you. We might've been friends if our circumstances had been different. It sucks that this is going to be our last fight.
I want Kuze on my team that's for sure. That last fight almost had the feeling of a medieval sword fight between two kings.
Kuze isn't really a villain but yeah he still kinda he didn't kill Tachibana its shibusawa that did that
@@xiegalo253 That one guy, Yoneda did. (Was that his name?) Kuze fucking DROPPED him though.
@@ThatMfTaika Yoneda
@@sh1mok thank you. Couldn't remember his name.
This mix hits you just as hard as Kiryu hit Kuze
it makes "dundundundundun dundundundun" right into my heart
"I'll bury you all..." Only Kiryu can say that with no consequences!
@@emmakawasaki9606 and Majima
You lay one finger on Makoto, and I'll bury the Tojo Clan.
He wasn't joking either
What you haven't realized about this image is that Kiryu isn't punching Kuze in the face, Kuze is punching Kiryu in the fist with his face.
"How do you like my face-to-fist style?"
@@dumbfuckgnomeboy4643 This is the best possible response.
It's like a variation of rocky balboa's style! Instead of blocking with his face, he attacks with it!
"Was that suppose to *hurt,* Kiryu?!"
*[Oath of Enma intensifies]*
''Please forgive Kuze, he is an idiot. We have purposefully trained him wrong, as a joke.''
I love how kuze was the father figure of all yakuza games.
Like the actor,
Kuze is an absolute genius u dislike him in the start and then in the last battle u love him

Almost as hard as me

They are, not all of them are as great as Yakuza Zero though.

Kuzu helped him Kiryu become real Yakuza
Kuzu sounds kinda addorable
If they make a Prequel about Kuze i wish atleast one person called him Kuzu
bro if anyone called him kuzu hed murder them it means scum
This amazing, you should do "with vengeance"!
Quite a flattering pic of ol' Kuze you chose there.
Friendship ended with Troubleshooting Star, Oath of Enma (Triple Mix | Extended) is my new best friend.
KUZE BROS RISE UP
>put this theme on youtube
>start reading ashita no joe(or other manga)
>see the fight in the manga
>start screaming uncontrollably
I listened to Eminem in Key moments of Ashita no Joe 🤣
if kuze was a secret boss in Yakuza 6 (after ending) this should be the theme
Pretty sure he wouldn't even be able to fight anymore at that time, let alone be alive anymore....
He was like 40-50 in the 80s, he would not be in fighting shape in yakuza 6

holy crap, this video really deserve more views man
"Don't underestimate me."
"Bring everything you've got!"
I wish the last fight had a dynamic intro with 2 of them in their battle position with some dramatic camera angle or some shit
Kuze is the anti-hero that Yakuza 0 needed

The first transition just hits harder than the thumbnail
Beautiful
Amazing. Goose bumbs Everytime I hear it
Perfect song
Masterpiece detected.
I love that picture for the video it had me laughing so hard
Kuze IS THE MAN
played this while having a heated argument and oh boy i felt their energy
Kuze has joined your team as an advisor.
Sir Hitoshi Ozawa, this is for you.

Can we aknowlage that Kuze ate Kiryu's strongest move, the tiger drop like it was nothing in the final qte?
Nah, the tiger drop ate Kuze’s raw masculinity
@@garrisonscott9909 thankfully kuze has plenty of it to spare.

Dou sta kiryu?

KUZE!!!
KUZE ANIKI
KUZEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
2:17
Biggest eargasm ever.
Kuze, Awano, Shibusawa, and 3 other people disliked this video. Someone help me fill in the blanks it’s been too long since I played Yakuza 0 😂
Kuze just didnt like it for the background picture, its his theme ofc hed like that however
NICE! ❤
Besides that I'm Brazilian, so my name is Paulo Almeida Kkkkk
cara chama paulo almeida kkkkkkk
