After seeing their tired, sad, weak selves in previous chapters, it's satisfying to see the four legends of Tojo returned to their true prime selves in this moment Except Daigo though, what the hell is that outfit, where's your iconic suit?
What I enjoy the most about this whole sequence is how it leans full into visual storytelling. We see these dispirited, broken shells of these legends through the game; Kiryu stopped caring about his appearance, his age is showing, and he is dying of cancer. His hair is going grey, it's in it's natural, unstyled cut, and he wears all black-- both exuding a cold professionalism and evocative of what one wears to a funeral. The three other Tojo legends, when met, are out of their iconic looks, unkempt and unshaven, and bereft of their own identities. They're just "people," and are going through bad times. The climb up the Millenium Tower once more has these four in their identities; Kiryu in his classic grey and red, which looks all the better with his grey hair now styled back to how it should be. Majima in his leather style, with steel-toed dress shoes and knife once more. Saejima in his military fatigues, back to the clean cut and being the force of nature he is. What I keep coming back to though is Dojima. All through the series, his attire is one that LACKED identity. He was just "The Sixth Chairman." Business formal with no discerning characteristics, hair and goatee grown out to look older than what he is, and always feeling like he was in the shadow of Kiryu rather than coming in to his own. You'd expect him to follow up with that here, but he's not. His hair has it's own look, his goatee is gone. His clothing of choice is simple, practical, but full of identity. Daigo looks WAY YOUNGER than what he actually is here, and everything about him is evocative of that rebellious punk we met barhopping and belligerent back in Yakuza 2. He leans in to the overarching theme that Ichiban exudes in Y7 and Y8: that a found family is more important than blood ties, and everything Daigo does is his own style of his "father" in Kiryu. He's the only one at the end of the action sequence who is not out of breath or lost in the thrill of the fight. This is his first time fighting up the Millenium Tower, too. Congratulations, Daigo. You finally are starting to get a taste of "protagonist" energy you've been sorely lacking all these years.
In some footage from the inside of rrg studio, you could see one bit of this scene,but with daigo using his og jacket .Like more this look,but his og is more iconic
@@bv310 The real story is a Saejima origin story. Just what did Saejima have to do to get noticed by Sasai? How did he grow to become a freaking MONSTER, It should start with him starting work to help Yasuko and end with him having his oath with Majima OR getting the Tiger of Sasai on his back.
@@dou5397 He's probably recouping his losses after Gaiden. Most of his assets are now Daidoji property, not to mention the 30 million yen Kiryu spent partying.
If they were here, Ichiban's Friends would step back lol... Tojo Legends+Those Unique Three would be Too much For Ebina to handle, can imagine that happening... 😂
Kinda weird Akiyama found Kiryu and said he would always help Kiryu when he needs. Then disappeared and did not join the gang in Millenium tower battle.
@@dinoblade8167Probably because Date got beat up, knowing Akiyama he probably didn't want to risk Kiryu's safety or the safety of Haruka and the orphanage considering this was just a warning from the Daidoji. Although yeah, I do feel like at the end that new Daidoji agent really didn't care about if Kiryu's identity was known and I will chalk it up to Daidoji weirdness
Man, when they showed up, I was on the verge of crying. They had no hope left since Tatara destroyed their reputation, and they still decided to show up to the Millenium tower just to support Kiryu. No matter the consequences. They'd go to hell just to bring Kiryu back.

RGG Studio with LAD: Gaiden: Hey, want to see us show off a really awesome moment with 4 Tojo legends fighting side by side? RGG Studio with Infinite Wealth: Want to see us do it again? Edit: Also love that this track continues on for the rest of the Tower battle: giving Kiryu - and ourselves - the adrenaline boost we need to get to the very end.
@@TheJerseyDay Unfortunately, yes. But the musis at the end of the track is basically a more triumphant version of Impregnable Triangle, so we can still revel in the sheer glory of such a moment.
What really annoyed me is that in Gaiden, the fight was really epic with all of them revealing the tattoos and then led right into the final boss that Kiryu fought alone, while here they seem wasted on a bunch of goons and then the legends stay back to hold off low level goons while Kiryu goes with a hobo, an assassin and a hostess to fight more low level goons... and then the final boss. I would have preferred it if you fought with the party all the way to the boss, fought the final boss with the party in phase 1 and then for phase 2 the party is exhausted, the legendbros come in and then it is Kiryu alone with the support squad to end the fight. It would feel more epic imo.
It sounds sad at the beginning, like age is finally catching up to these guys, however at the halfway part they catch their second wind and demonstrate exactly why they are legendary Yakuza.
I love the way how daigo fights mimics kiryu, kiryu used headbutts and punch, he did it. Kiryu used running haymaker, he did the same as well. Shows how much influence kiryu had on daigo.
Bro you can even see Daigo’s gotten stronger, sliding a thug across to Saejima. He’s a bit rusty, but he’s most certainly nearing the peak of his strength.
They’re controlled enough to back up Kiryu, and fight hard enough to where Kiryu doesn’t overexert himself. Can’t imagine what this 4 would’ve been like had they fought together in their prime.
I love how a lot of people can tell this is the another version of Impregnable Triangle. It's as if the music was incomplete in the boss fight against these Legends, and now, since they're all fighting together, the song is now complete.
@@ahmadhadi177His name is Okawa! Imai actually never fought in Gaiden, but he was present with Okawa at the dissolution. Yakuza 8 is the game that revealed his name
I really wish we could’ve controlled them for just this moment. It would’ve gone such a long way and emphasize every emotion in the moment. Still love it so much
I think it's much more fitting for both Kiryu and the players. Not only does it force you to rely on yourself for this fight, Kiryu would also know he could never issue commands to these guys. They act on their own anyways, yet always fight to support you, just like in every game before 7 with the real-time combat. What I do hate is that they didn't have co-op heat actions for Kiryu. Like come on, they would have worked perfectly here.
@@aerodynamo4874 [Daigo has one! He had one in Gaiden too, even though he was only in proximity to Kiryu during the fight for a short time! I appreciated very much that they cared to include that.]
1:37- 2:37 Best part of the song, really makes you feel like this is the final battle to decide the fate of the people you care about, make you want to give it your best to go ahead and keep fighting until you reach the big bad villain. Obviously the most iconic moment is four Tojo legends teamup, but i also would like to talk about the part after that, where Kiryu and his party rushing toward the top floor and deal with armies of yakuza and a helicopter to reach Ebina, with this music playing. Really makes me motivational and emotional
I just wanna say I love how utterly tired this song feels. Like, much like Kiryu, Saejima and Majima it feels old and tired and in Kiryu's case very sick. But with Daigo here helping it helps inject some energy back into the track at the start to keep it going. And once they really get into the action it ramps all of the way up, as though the old timers are allowed to let loose once more in Saejima and Majima's cases while Kiryu finds yet another second wind to keep moving forward. And Daigo? Daigo finally gets a chance to much in and let loose after so long of having to play the leader figure, where he can actually just be a man in a stylish outfit fighting against some enemy Yakuza for the first time since well, since he's been introduced. Sure in 2 it was implied but there he got his ass kicked. Now? Now he's showing he has stood tall and kick ass just lke the rest of the cast.
This scene and section gave me CHILLS, even after Kiryu showing up at the cabin I didn’t think they would actually come through like THIS. This game is an absolute masterpiece!
A small bit that I think is interesting: During the cutscene at the end, Kiryu catches one opponent, headbutts him, then punches, then kicks. Immediately after, you see Daigo (after using his signature jumping knee attack) also catching an opponent, headbutting him, then punching, then kicking (someone else but still). This is the exact thing Kiryu just did. Remember that Daigo sees himself as Kiryu's son. While he still shows his own style (the knee attack), he wants to be Kiryu's son, he sees him as his role model, he wants to be as strong as him. Like a lot of sons do, he tries to be like his father. Also, this is probably the last fight they have together, which they both know. Daigo was there to prove that he grew. That, back in the fishing hut, it was the last time Kiryu needs to beat him up to set him into the right direction. This is also highlighted by the fact, that this time, Daigo helps Kiryu, not the other way around. How many fights did Kiryu take to save or protect Daigo? Ryuji, the Y2 rescue, Mine, even in the Y0 substory he had to save him. But now, Kiryu is getting older, weaker (not weak but far from his peak), and how it is with many father and sons, Daigo now helps out his aged dad Kiryu. That is, if you want to interpret this that way. If you don't, that is fine, you still got this badass music, fight and moment in the game :D
I really hope it's not the case, but if this is the last time we see these 4, I think I'd be satisfied. The 4 parting ways from the series in a blaze of glory.
Kiryu clearly had mixed feelings about keeping Akiyama mostly out of this whole thing, and you will remember, the last time Kiryu fought up this tower, he told Akiyama "I'd rather have you with me than any 10 other guys." Not a cope IMO
It honestly bugs me that Saejima and Daigo have their Dragon engine renders as their portraits (Saejima uses his Yakuza 6 clan creator, Daigo's entirely new) While Majima just has his Kiwami 1 render as his portrait
A detail of these theme I really like is the subtle beeping noises scaterred along it. I absolutely adore the idea of implement character relevant sounds to their soundtrack and this is a great example. It would be normal to interpret them as Kiryu dying or his health failing dramatically. But instead I believe its quite the opposite. This moment is the exact point in which Kiryu decides to live again. We see all over Infinite Wealth's story how he refuses any treatment instead choosing to spend his last days doing whatever he can to help. He has given up. And yet, after reconnecting with his past, his friends, his memories and finally recieving the support he always needed not just from the heroes of tomorrow but from his closest allies in the yakuza he chooses to live. Those beeps are not his heart giving up, but his fighting spirit rising again to live one more day. TLDR: Absolute peak
*Kiryu, Akiyama, Saejima and Tanimura:* Show me the real Yakuza 4 *Kiryu Akiyama Saejima and Shinada:* I said the REAL Yakuza 4 *Kiryu, Majima, Saejima and Daigo:* PERFECTION.
Theres motifs from the epic remains here its cool that its kind of an evolution from that considering that songs kind of meant to convey how theyve been reduced to a mere seamans tale
It’ll be totally awesome that Yagami, Kaito, Higashi and Sugiura would be calling themselves the four in Judgment 3. Although it’ll be fun to play as the four of them. Kiryu = Yagami Saejima = Kaito Majima = Higashi Daigo = Sugiura
Idk if this victory pose was on purpose or coincidental, but I like how they're lined up from furthest to closest to the screen based on who has been officially in the Tojo clan the longest & who's been the more fan favourite character.
@@-SoonerorLater I said officially meaning Saejima staying in the joint doesn't count, nor does Majima being a cabaret manager since he was kicked out of the Shimano family & wanted Sagawa to get him back in.
I hope someday we get another spin off similar to Judgment but we play as Majima! Seriously enjoyed playing as him in Yakuza 0. Honestly cannot remember the last time we played as him after Yakuza 0.
Dumb question, but does anyone know the song that plays when Komaki first walks out of the alley to greet Kiryu in his substory? I couldn't find it in the official soundtrack.
@@snesmocha thats not the one, its like the Yakuza 8 Substory theme thats unreleased that plays sometimes during substories. The same one that plays when Lau tries to reveal his name to Kiryu
Hey man do you have the 1920x1080 version of the screenshot you took? I want to use that as a wallpaper. Great edit by the way. I loved the way you put the little cutscene
Why do I feel like this is the kind of music that will play when you finally beat the one that was supposed to be final boss And then you got a message from the actual final boss to come to randomass place to settle score You came to meet them at midnight, having a little heart-to-heart talk, then both of you process to throwing punch at each other while the sun is rising (my English is bad so don't expect much)
The 3 Seiryu guys crashing through the window to fight the party before the final battle reminded me of Yakuza 0 when Kiryu has to fight 3 of Shibusawa's guys on the boat before reaching Shibusawa. I felt it was a nice throwback to that (not sure if there's any other games where Kiryu had to fight a trio before the last battle).

2:04 that timing is perfect ngl
This theme has a rendition of Impregnable Triangle.
They truly are an impenetrable fortress trio that surrounds Kiryu.
It makes sense, they are the impregnable triangle with Kiryu at the center
They’re controlled enough to back up Kiryu, and fight hard enough to where Kiryu doesn’t overexert himself.
Can’t imagine what this 4 would’ve been like had they fought together in their prime.
This has officially taken my top spot for the best long battle theme in the series.

It's as if the game encourages you to keep going up, no matter the odds. "You're almost there ! Don't give up now !"
A one last time for the legendary Tojo yakuza and ngl i wonder how cool it could been if Mine and Kido were still around in the current line up
I just wanna say I love how utterly tired this song feels. Like, much like Kiryu, Saejima and Majima it feels old and tired and in Kiryu's case very sick. But with Daigo here helping it helps inject some energy back into the track at the start to keep it going. And once they really get into the action it ramps all of the way up, as though the old timers are allowed to let loose once more in Saejima and Majima's cases while Kiryu finds yet another second wind to keep moving forward.

Immediately after, you see Daigo (after using his signature jumping knee attack) also catching an opponent, headbutting him, then punching, then kicking (someone else but still).

That, back in the fishing hut, it was the last time Kiryu needs to beat him up to set him into the right direction. This is also highlighted by the fact, that this time, Daigo helps Kiryu, not the other way around. How many fights did Kiryu take to save or protect Daigo? Ryuji, the Y2 rescue, Mine, even in the Y0 substory he had to save him. But now, Kiryu is getting older, weaker (not weak but far from his peak), and how it is with many father and sons, Daigo now helps out his aged dad Kiryu.
That is, if you want to interpret this that way. If you don't, that is fine, you still got this badass music, fight and moment in the game :D
I wish this was the party for team Kiryu throughout Kiryu's time in japan, what a bittersweet final battle with the homies!
This sounds so emotional and no matter how many times I hear it, it always manages to touch my heart
the four stand before the end of a long journey
it is the end, of denial
The ost explains no matter how arrogant, outcast or evil they are, they would still stay in your side to protect you.

the music change at 1:00 is what i got at the end of the fight and personally think it fits way more than the one at the end
in my opinion my most favorite part starts in 1:37
@@dinoblade8167 yeah that part is really good too
2:03 Damn, that music sync hit harder than Kiryu
Everyone: 😠 Majima: 😁
Most fun he's had in four years...
I just finished the game last night and this is easily the best battle theme in any Like A Dragon game
From an impregnable triangle to an invulnerable square.
It's bittersweet knowing that this will be the last time we see this 4 fight together and knowing that they were there for Kiryu when it mattered
At least they Let Hyd Lunch made at least a boss theme/second final dungeon theme instead of getting stuck doing event themes 😭
I love this theme so much 🔥
When voice lines started, i literally got chills. So freaking good
It honestly bugs me that Saejima and Daigo have their Dragon engine renders as their portraits (Saejima uses his Yakuza 6 clan creator, Daigo's entirely new)
While Majima just has his Kiwami 1 render as his portrait
THE LEGENDS ;o;
HOW BADASS :0 💚💙💚💚
2:04 feel the beat🔥🔥🔥
A detail of these theme I really like is the subtle beeping noises scaterred along it. I absolutely adore the idea of implement character relevant sounds to their soundtrack and this is a great example. It would be normal to interpret them as Kiryu dying or his health failing dramatically. But instead I believe its quite the opposite. This moment is the exact point in which Kiryu decides to live again. We see all over Infinite Wealth's story how he refuses any treatment instead choosing to spend his last days doing whatever he can to help. He has given up. And yet, after reconnecting with his past, his friends, his memories and finally recieving the support he always needed not just from the heroes of tomorrow but from his closest allies in the yakuza he chooses to live. Those beeps are not his heart giving up, but his fighting spirit rising again to live one more day.
TLDR: Absolute peak
So they basically infinited wealth all over the place and together they are Yakuza THE FOUR ?
@@IchiBUNProductions Yes
Random yakuza: why do I hear my requiem at 2:00?
Im the only one that kinda ear "for who's sake " on this song?
*Kiryu, Akiyama, Saejima and Tanimura:*
Show me the real Yakuza 4
*Kiryu Akiyama Saejima and Shinada:*
I said the REAL Yakuza 4
*Kiryu, Majima, Saejima and Daigo:*
PERFECTION.
Theres motifs from the epic remains here its cool that its kind of an evolution from that considering that songs kind of meant to convey how theyve been reduced to a mere seamans tale
Its them! The LaDs of Gaiden!
Damn, this is peak.
just realised majima here is just using some rando knife now
damn slanderers confiscated his demonfire dagger!!!
The knife he throws in the first fight is different to the blade he uses during the fight there and here
Canonically, Majima would have too many daggers in his inventory lol
Holy FUARK MY HEROES ARE BACK
We are the Yakuza 4 2: Electric Boogaloo
In a perfect universe this would be the official "Chad Theme Music" over that one Bring Me The Horizon song
the lads of gaiden have attained infinite wealth
It’ll be totally awesome that Yagami, Kaito, Higashi and Sugiura would be calling themselves the four in Judgment 3. Although it’ll be fun to play as the four of them.
Kiryu = Yagami
Saejima = Kaito
Majima = Higashi
Daigo = Sugiura
I'd personally swap around Higashi and Sugiura, but the other two are pretty much spot on.
the judge men
we are the infinite wealth
the way i got up from my chair and screamed when they showed up
Idk if this victory pose was on purpose or coincidental, but I like how they're lined up from furthest to closest to the screen based on who has been officially in the Tojo clan the longest & who's been the more fan favourite character.
Weren’t Saejima and Majima in the Tojo Clan for pretty much the same amount of time?
@@-SoonerorLater I said officially meaning Saejima staying in the joint doesn't count, nor does Majima being a cabaret manager since he was kicked out of the Shimano family & wanted Sagawa to get him back in.
The Four Of Tojo
I hope someday we get another spin off similar to Judgment but we play as Majima! Seriously enjoyed playing as him in Yakuza 0. Honestly cannot remember the last time we played as him after Yakuza 0.
Kiwami 2 extra mode
"You know what? Maybe fuck this cancer" the theme
THE YAKUZA 4
IMAGINE THIS FIGHT IN BEAT'EM UP
We are the Yakuza 4: The Sequel
Some may say they are the real yakuza 4
They should've had Daigo in his Yakuza/Kiwami 2 outfit, that would add to the nostalgia of the four
He got serious
I really wished this segment was longer and not just one fight in the last dungeon
This was multiple fights though
Dumb question, but does anyone know the song that plays when Komaki first walks out of the alley to greet Kiryu in his substory? I couldn't find it in the official soundtrack.
Takumi 2009
@@snesmocha thats not the one, its like the Yakuza 8 Substory theme thats unreleased that plays sometimes during substories. The same one that plays when Lau tries to reveal his name to Kiryu
TOGETHER..WE ARE THE YAKUZA FOUR!!!!
i was listening to your yakuza osts and i thought shinada had a sharp as hell jaw
I mean he does
The four??? Like the Yakuza 4???
Hey king/queen do you know the name of the song that plays when you go into the memory room when you fight Majima in chapter 12?
I believe that may be a generic conversation theme from previous games
it plays the 3's respective themes from 4, majima was recieve and bite you, saejima was massive fire and daigo was for face
Receive and Bite you remix
WE ARE YAKUZA 4
We are the yakuza 4
Hey man do you have the 1920x1080 version of the screenshot you took? I want to use that as a wallpaper. Great edit by the way. I loved the way you put the little cutscene

@@RandomCollection04based thanks
Why do I feel like this is the kind of music that will play when you finally beat the one that was supposed to be final boss
And then you got a message from the actual final boss to come to randomass place to settle score
You came to meet them at midnight, having a little heart-to-heart talk, then both of you process to throwing punch at each other while the sun is rising
(my English is bad so don't expect much)
I would call it "Invincible square" to echoes impregnable triangle instead of "The Four"
The real Yakuza 4
There is so much Hyenas Weezing DNA in this song
💚❤️💜💛
The 3 Seiryu guys crashing through the window to fight the party before the final battle reminded me of Yakuza 0 when Kiryu has to fight 3 of Shibusawa's guys on the boat before reaching Shibusawa. I felt it was a nice throwback to that (not sure if there's any other games where Kiryu had to fight a trio before the last battle).
Petition to make this group a rock band called Kiryu and the 3Jimas. I need them to do some karaoke together for the culture
My name would be the 'Dragon of 3 Islands'
Ki(ryu) = Dragon
