I just noticed that the way that the chain link fence looks in Nanba's glasses at 5:00:30 looks like it's actually real-time magnifying the fence. Like when you catch a glimpse of it from the side of his face, it cancels out the depth of field, and the image actually behaves like a real glasses lens. That's the tiniest little detail I've ever noticed but wow that's absolutely incredible attention to detail.
58:00 this is one of the least wheelchair-accessible venues I've ever seen. The only way they could have done worse was if the entrance was situated at the top of a sheer cliff face and the only way up was to climb it, oh my god
I love how pro sex-worker, and pro treating homeless people like y'know, people, the Yakuza series is. It stumbles a lot when it comes to women in general, but I feel like their heart's in the right place.
It’s pro sex worker I think when it counts. That subquest in Yakuza 0 about pizza was so fucked up it was funny. And it’s clear as hell the situation is not a good one, but it does show the truth of those types of situations.
@@ashikjaman1940 no its in the remaster. Kiryu tells Yuya that Ayaka is trans. Yuya doesn't believe him but he still outed her. Granted this was 2009 so it's still better than I'd expect
2:53:00 the spring water bit here is a reference to a sidestory in 0 where Kiryu nearly gets pulled into a pyramid scheme, it's so fun to see little things like this tying the world together
Also, the scene where Nanba talks about how people end up homeless and how the world is biased into making them stay that way is so emotional, I was tearing up at it on my first play through
I've always loved Ichiban's design and general vibe, but finally seeing the game and seeing him in action makes me so happy What a genuinely sweet guy I love him so much
4:11:37 imo, this line is leagues better in the sub. its a call back to when ichi takes the fall, and Arakawa says "You're gonna have to take the fall for me." only this time, it reads "You're gonna have to die for me."
i kind of unironically love masato's just unabashed edge about his condition. as a disabled person i've met people like him and it's a trip to behold in a video game. he's a caricature sure but like, wow not that much of one ALSO MASATO DON'T POKE YOURSELF IN THE CHEST WITH THAT IT NEEDS TO GO INTO THE FAT BUT OKAY GO OFF I GUESS.
All I know about this game is that it's turn-based, the MC likes Dragon Quest, and there's a monkey riding a tractor or something. EDIT: Seeing Penny freak out over not being able to get a Monkey Ball doll is a TREAT.
just getting around to watching this vod series and i would do anything for ichiban. delinquent/yakuza/some form of Bad Boy + heart of gold + stupid idiot = perfect character formula
ok i finally finished this vod!!!! i really hope penny plays more, this game is awesome and watching her play it is a blast :D i hope i can catch it live next time
AAAAH i've seen playthroughs of a couple other yakuza games but not this one, so seeing a playthrough of this game and also penny enjoying the charms of the yakuza games makes me sososo happy!! thanks for the vod, penny!!
i'm catching up on these vods since penny's playing this again, and i gotta say, chat's really disappointing me with calling temple run "jungle run" and minion rush "minion run". yall fake gamers
I believe I remember reading an interview from one of the creators/directors, Toshihiro Nagoshi, said he wouldn't want Kiryu to be in Smash Bros. because he doesn't want him to see his character raise a hand on the female fighters like Peach, Daisy, Samus, Zelda, etc. I *could* potentially see Ichiban as the Yakuza rep if that were to ever happen. Plus, he could be a clone to the Hero, since our boy is a big Dragon Quest fanatic. If Kiryu were to be put in a fighting game, I heard he's been in high demand to be in Tekken.
@@XenoJaed he said he doesn't see kiryu in any fighting game cause they all have women. And it's very likely he would extrapolate that to Ichi too, as he also doesn't fight women. However Majima is a likely choice for a fighting game, and id be super down if they added Saeko from this game
The likelier obstacle is that, as we learned when the Fortnite/Apple lawsuit aired every major game company’s dirty laundry, Nintendo has a very plainly-worded policy forbidding any of their partners from dealing with the yakuza, widely regarded as a direct message to Sega that they shouldn’t let any of their “research”-based relationships with actual mobsters endanger either company’s family-friendly image
me at first: huh, ive never seen any gameplay of this before. well, its penny so lets check it out! me 1 hour in, crying like a little bitch: ICHIBAAAN I LOVE YOU! YOU'RE A GOOD EGG AND SO PURE HEARTED AND DUMB AS A BAG OF ROCKS
i've never really checked out the Yakuza series before (looks ridiculously fun!) but from what I've learned from this stream... it's Claw Machine Simulator 2020?
1:50:36 “Y’all, I’m just- I’m just thinkin’ about stuff that happens…” Penny Parker this was an extremely unfortunately-timed thing to say as the year 2001 pops up on the screen

Now I have two things I'll think about when I see someone holding a gun: "Peking duck without the gun" and "It was rigged right from the beginning"
I love how pro sex-worker, and pro treating homeless people like y'know, people, the Yakuza series is. It stumbles a lot when it comes to women in general, but I feel like their heart's in the right place.
Yakuza 3 even has a pro trans sidequest too. It stumbles a little bit, (kiryu outing her to her boss) but its mostly rly good for a game from 2009!
It’s pro sex worker I think when it counts. That subquest in Yakuza 0 about pizza was so fucked up it was funny. And it’s clear as hell the situation is not a good one, but it does show the truth of those types of situations.
@@bloodyroses4664 wait is that the one that got cut from the remaster? I don't remember the masseuse getting outed
@@ashikjaman1940 no its in the remaster. Kiryu tells Yuya that Ayaka is trans. Yuya doesn't believe him but he still outed her. Granted this was 2009 so it's still better than I'd expect
@@bloodyroses4664 ohh, yeah you're right. Although one correction, Yuya isn't her boss. They don't even work in the same place.

Never realized how DELIGHTFUL this game is. So glad penny's showing it off
i kind of unironically love masato's just unabashed edge about his condition. as a disabled person i've met people like him and it's a trip to behold in a video game. he's a caricature sure but like, wow not that much of one ALSO MASATO DON'T POKE YOURSELF IN THE CHEST WITH THAT IT NEEDS TO GO INTO THE FAT BUT OKAY GO OFF I GUESS.
It's supposed to go into his lungs, which is part of his disabled condition. I get what you're saying though.
the Hello Work lady is voiced by Cherami Leigh, she also voices Makoto Niijima and Komaru Naegi! ive met her and shes a lovely person
I just imagine ichi getting out of jail and the only thing he gets back from the station is just 2 fucking monkey ball figures
All I know about this game is that it's turn-based, the MC likes Dragon Quest, and there's a monkey riding a tractor or something.
EDIT: Seeing Penny freak out over not being able to get a Monkey Ball doll is a TREAT.
the circus substories are some of the best in the game i swear
Ichiban is my Ichiboy 😭
2:50 I really wasn’t prepared as I was eating my queso to almost choke because Penny said “I’m sure you’d love to see it, you FREAKS.”
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is my favorite Final Fantasy game
i dont know anything about the yakuza games but i know i would die for ichiban
4:07:03 -- the fucking pin pull ON BEAT
1:10:26 hes not ichi-bad hes ichi-swag :(
LETS GO THE BEST YAKUZA
just getting around to watching this vod series and i would do anything for ichiban. delinquent/yakuza/some form of Bad Boy + heart of gold + stupid idiot = perfect character formula
Oh my god I love when Ichi just starts LAYING INTO THAT ZHEN GUY OH MU GOD
I’ve always thought Ichiban acted like a robed henchman cowering at their masters new invention at 59:33
Ichiban is great because he's like a nerd and a jock at the same time
Jerd
i hope you do more of this series, penny!! it's a delight and it's fun to see you so invested!
i've never seen or played a yakuza game before and penny has just showed me how much i'm missing out
ok i finally finished this vod!!!! i really hope penny plays more, this game is awesome and watching her play it is a blast :D i hope i can catch it live next time
“This is not a restaurant” I mean…it kind of is…..you just kinda eat something else 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Without teeth
Yakuza: Like a Monke
i really hope this gets penny into the yakuza series so I can watch her play the other ones and totally fall in love with Rina from shine
1:18 Choked on my caramel ice cream and the game hasn't even started god dammit
AAAAH i've seen playthroughs of a couple other yakuza games but not this one, so seeing a playthrough of this game and also penny enjoying the charms of the yakuza games makes me sososo happy!! thanks for the vod, penny!!
The crane game antics were amazing lol.
Ichiban is so sweet and so dumb I'm love him
came from the shadow playthrough to witness the aiai saga
i'm catching up on these vods since penny's playing this again, and i gotta say, chat's really disappointing me with calling temple run "jungle run" and minion rush "minion run". yall fake gamers
Spit your truth gamer
i’m so happy that penny wants to do more of this! i’m so invested
Yakuza and the Quest for New Dads
Hell Yeah!!
I'm so excited for more Yakuza
Rewatching for the newest vods! Let's do this, once more!
had so much fun watching penny play this game! yakuza is so fun!
5:33 hehe that was me :)
Is good to make streamer laugh
Bravo :)
I so badly want the rest of the series
I like the English dub, it’s just jarring to hear English in a yakuza game, not complaining just saying
Penny: "I am not committing to doing a full series of this on stream"
Me: *Looks at playlist* "and yet..."
I really enjoyed this playthrough, can't wait for the next part!!
Yo when is a yakuza rep getting into smash
Also, please, part 2

@@Champiness Then maybe they could add Yagami from Judgment to Smash.
@@Champiness but we already have 3 sega reps playable
me at first: huh, ive never seen any gameplay of this before. well, its penny so lets check it out!
me 1 hour in, crying like a little bitch: ICHIBAAAN I LOVE YOU! YOU'RE A GOOD EGG AND SO PURE HEARTED AND DUMB AS A BAG OF ROCKS
I've come from the future to agree ichiban is one of the most likable men in video game entertainment
Is the homeless guy modeled after that one comedy actor that played Hideaki Anno on Blue Blazes???
Who cares about all this?
“i cares about all this”
Penny please do a real-time fandub
