you could say that in the beginning half of yakuza 0 that was the same thing with kiryu, yakuza 7 is ichiban's start as a yakuza legend just like kiryu in 0
Totally agree dude. At that point I yelled something like “LET’S GOOO” or maybe “KIRYU!!!!!” so loud that the dog came running upstairs barking his head off. It was like 1am, I think my girlfriend almost went and got the baseball bat lol
Kuroiwa is a solid number 1 for me too, honestly maybe my favorite RGG boss fight full stop. The atmosphere, the music, the story leading up to it, the fight itself across multiple locations, I've never wanted to beat a boss as badly as I wanted to beat Kuroiwa, Judgment is peak RGG for me, and that's saying a lot.
Thanks to everyone for the comments and for watching my Video!! Im glad that yakuza got the hype now it deserves. I will definitlely make an updated version after infinite wealth, because lost judgment and gaiden also had some nice ones and i wanted to wait for more which would definitlely change the rankings. Thanks a lot :)
Agreed 100% It was the very first one and it's so hype. So are Sewers Kuze, Sugiuchi, LAD Kiryu and Lao Gui imo. And I'm bummed there's no Aizawa, no Kido, no Arai, no Ishin Okita, no Y4 Daigo, no Shinada vs Daigo, no Kuze 4th fight and no "KYODAAAAI!!!". I wholly respect his opinion though, and Ibuchi deserves to be as high as it is here. Say whatever about the boss fight itself, the intro is amazing. The fact that people have so different takes on these and how it's difficult for them not to choose a determined intro spot for, not a top 10 or 5, but a top 25...? Says a lot about how amazing they are.
Besides the fight itself, for me the coolest intro of them are Kiryu vs Kuze on the Sewers and later against Shibusawa, none of the other games gave me the same goosebumps than those 2 damn fights (and i thought the first time we fight Kuze was cool af already)
Strongest Protagonists in my Opinions: 1. Kazuma Kiryu (But On Strength He's at the same level as Taiga) 2. Taiga Saejima 3. Goro Majima (You Obviously Know it) 4. Masayoshi Tanimura (His Parry would be a Problem for all of his Opponents) 5. Shun Akiyama On Par with Takayuki Yagami (LEGS) 6. Masaharu Kaito 7. Ichiban Kasuga 8. Shinada Tatsuo
@@colewlrd1317 keep in mind there are a bunch of different sub-types of strength. Saejima has a very clear edge in explosive power, but considering the fact Kiryu kinda jist casually ran through the entire Ueno Seiwa, he has his own advantages in other strength categories that'd put them relative to each other.
some of these rankings are nuts to me but i always think of the context and emotion behind the intro rather than just on how cool the intro is by itself on accident
Same. Some high ranked judgment intros are really cool, but for the context and emotion, I would say the intro such as kiryu vs shibusawa should be higher than those.
In terms of difficulty to pull off the said dynamic intro, Majimbo's intro with Dio is definitely the hardest, no question. The man dodged & deflected multiple bullets.
Icl I think Yagami v Kuroiwa first fight intro was better. After just confirming him being the killer, Yagami being like “leave this to me” to Kaito and the high kick towards each other was just so perfect
Why bro didn't put Kiryu vs Daigo in Yakuza 4 and Kiryu vs Aizawa in Yakuza 5 in this list lol Those are easily better then most of the once shown in this list
I like how every Yakuza 7 intro is Ichiban getting his ass kicked

@@fodee4313 not a "yet", he will never be stronger than people like kiryu. But what he's got is a team that would keep his adventure going

The Komaki Knock Back after is such a nice touch too
Beast block animation into Komaki Parry into Kiryu's signature line is one of the hardest intros in existence
“MASSIVE MAN” will always be my favorite introduction lmao

@@grizzlyowlbear3538and I raise you MASSAGE MAN
I have a special place in my heart for Yuta's dynamic intro, which is just him getting *obliterated* by Kiryu's nasty haymaker.
And still fucking standing
Majima vs Ibuchi has to be one of the coldest intro I've ever seen in my life.
If we add Lost Judgment , Yagami vs Soma should be in
Cant forget Tesso and Akutsu as well
@@Darkalanche The final Kuwana fight too
We even have regular RK members fight intro, that better than many in this list
Lost Judgment is a gem when it comes to intros.. or combat in general! Although it wasn't yet out to be fair
5:30 This is the exact moment I closed the TH-cam video I was watching and bought Yakuza 0 a few years ago
Pledge of Demon is just so cold.
Kuroiwa is a solid number 1 for me too, honestly maybe my favorite RGG boss fight full stop.

12:50 STANDING HERE, I REALISE !
Real
12:51 this is definitely Kiryu vs Shibusawa 2.0
Yeah but Kiryu beat his ass solo so not really
6:40 This will be the actual Kiryu vs Shibusawa 2.0 in the future
@MugdhaMahdiShams Wouldn't Kiryu vs Shibusawa technically be Ryoma vs Takechi 2.0
Ryuji Goda Final Scene got me goosebump tho
This right here reminded me how much I love this crime drama series
theres drama? /jk
Can’t believe Shinada vs Daigo wasn’t included
Kiryu VS Daigo in Y4, looks sick
Thanks to everyone for the comments and for watching my Video!! Im glad that yakuza got the hype now it deserves.
I will definitlely make an updated version after infinite wealth, because lost judgment and gaiden also had some nice ones and i wanted to wait for more which would definitlely change the rankings.
Thanks a lot :)
No Aizawa is criminal. He should've made this list given how many action sequences he has .Also, Kuze's sewer intro is hype ASF
I love Majima's intro in Kwamii 2. Usually Majima smiles and is all crazy like but there he has no emotion.
I would personally add Someya's final battle from 6, plus Majima from 4 for the "KYODAIII!" alone.
how old is Kiryu by Yakuza 7? 50 something maybe, and yet he still kicks ass, really want to know his secret, lol
He’s 50. He’s also just fucking built differently.
He is abnormal, toshiro said
Stamina XX shield
50/51. He's 55 in Infinite Wealth.
Kiryu Vs Mine is criminally low 😮
Agreed 100% It was the very first one and it's so hype. So are Sewers Kuze, Sugiuchi, LAD Kiryu and Lao Gui imo.

fax. i get chills every time.
no majima in the colosseum in kiwami 2?
Also the other intros from the final bosses of yakuza 4
they have no action sequences, can’t get the bonus mark
極でバトルシーン入るとこの解像度高くなってあの時こんな喧嘩してたんかってなるのエモい
The #1 spot totally deserves!!!!! THAT FIGHT WAS SO INSANE AND SCARY! Kuroiwa is just a monster…
Mine vs Kiryu in Yakuza 3 better be on here.
That definitely should be higher. The Fly remix is so epic!!!
Mine is so underrated. Definitely one of the better Yakuza final bosses
Besides the fight itself, for me the coolest intro of them are Kiryu vs Kuze on the Sewers and later against Shibusawa, none of the other games gave me the same goosebumps than those 2 damn fights (and i thought the first time we fight Kuze was cool af already)
Looking back I feel bad for how hard Akiyama got bodied in that first intro 😭
Strongest Protagonists in my Opinions:

2. Taiga Saejima
3. Goro Majima (You Obviously Know it)

6. Masaharu Kaito
7. Ichiban Kasuga
8. Shinada Tatsuo
Yeah that's pretty much right
0. Kenshiro
Saejima is stronger than kiryu physically tbh. He literally stopped a car from moving
@@colewlrd1317 keep in mind there are a bunch of different sub-types of strength.

Kiryu = Technique
Saejima = Power
I would argue that Kiryu vs Nishiki should be #1 or #2, and Kiryu vs Ryuji should be #1 or #2
nah, i think the no 1 in the vid is the best
mitsurus dynamic intro by far has the best choreography out of any of them along with the pose during the name
@@audiobook5860 true judgment 1 final boss is perfection
yeah i've changed my mind after playing, but these intros still go hard
Nothing can beat Kiryu vs Majima DI in the coliseum
Yagami vs Kuroiwa dynamic intro is one of the wildest things I've ever seen in any game. Well deserved 1st place
HOW DID THEY MAKE JUDGEMENT LOOKS SO REAL WTF
1:36 *Goro Majima vs MASSIVE MAN

@@sujulius3230 dude kiryu vs iwami should be higher too jfc
kiryu vs kuze in the sewer was amazing for me
Majima in yakuza 2 was so fucking amazing
Iwami's dynamic intro is criminally underrated
daigo vs shinada shouldda had a spot here too tbh
Nobody is gonna talk about how badass Majima's reaction is to dodge bullets?
In terms of difficulty to pull off the said dynamic intro, Majimbo's intro with Dio is definitely the hardest, no question.
The man dodged & deflected multiple bullets.
bro called ibuchi, dio😭
For me favourite is Kiryu vs Daigo at Y4. Its looks badass imo
I prefer Mine's intro more than Iwami's intro tbh
Arguably couldnt agree more (with number 1)
Icl I think Yagami v Kuroiwa first fight intro was better. After just confirming him being the killer, Yagami being like “leave this to me” to Kaito and the high kick towards each other was just so perfect
the final one just looks wayyyy cooler
That Kasuga vs Kiryu has me rolling everytime
forgot daigo vs kiryu in y4😢
dont sleep on mine intro
Yakuza 4 gets a lot of flack but damn I forgot how badass some of the dynamic intros from 4 are, Tanimura busting the handcuffs with the gunshot
Tendo has an excellent theme
WHY IS KIRYU V/S MAJIMA FROM YAKUZA KIWAMI 2 NOT IN TOP 25!😭
mine should be no.1
Someya’s first theme sounds like Lao Gui’s theme.
swap #1 and 3, i can get behind it
No daigo v kiryu is crazy
No Aizawa intro?
Bro you cant put best ones lastly 💀💀💀💀
C H I N E S E M A N
mine intro is criminally low 😭
You really cannot top the Judge Eyes of the Kuroiwa intro.
Lao gui should definitely be higher
Why bro didn't put Kiryu vs Daigo in Yakuza 4 and Kiryu vs Aizawa in Yakuza 5 in this list lol
Those are easily better then most of the once shown in this list
Nice list. Kuze in the sewers should be higher though.
But Mine’s intro at 24 is a disgrace, his intro is what started the tradition of bad ass intros.
how dare you not include more
how does yagami vs hamura qte and intro not make it into this list, that was a top tier sequence
21 (2:17) has to be the best one
I'm biased the Y7 Kiryu boss fight should've been top 3 at least
17？？？
