*"Let's go."* *"Bring it! AKIYAMAAAA!"* I love that glorious For Faith that plays during these final fights. Akiyama's version (Four Face) really sets the tone for the rest
Oh man, the set up for the Finale was incredible in itself, then each of our protags get their own boss battle on the roof of Millennium Tower as all that yen rains down around them. And then each fight has its own version of For Faith/Four Face playing as well, really brings it all together of this shared journey between the four of them.
Indeed, brother. The four final bosses in RgG4 make up for the best finale in the series (not including RgG 7, since I am mid-game, and haven't reached the final boss yet). The final bosses in RgG 5 were kind of _meh_ , and the final boss in RgG 6 is the worst boss in all the series. As much as I liked 5 and 6 in terms of gameplay, storywise they were not needed. Sega should have jumped from RgG 4 to RgG 7, and in between regale us with RgG spin-offs that allow us to play as bosses we fought in previous games, like Kazama, Hayashi, or Nishikiyama.
@@pp-vf8ls I don't think Saejima VS Kido was dumb plotwise. It was cool to experience a fight between the wise, experienced yakuza versus the young, ambitious yakuza. Especially since we took the role of the older guy, which is the opposite of what happens in videogames usually. However, I can see where you are coming from, and want to point out that in order for that fight to be fully convincing plotwise, Kido and Saejima should have interacted more and appeared together in more scenes. Considering those two don't share much time together on screen, one would expect for Kido to be a boss, but not a final boss. But anyway, the way it turned out was not _that_ weird or unnatural. Just needed a bit more fleshed out relationship between those two. Plus on the bright side, Kido's version of Four Faith is incredible, and I like his "refined street fighting" style quite a lot.
My favorite dynamic intro, well pre-Yakuza 0. This fight awesome gets me pumped to suplex someone off a roof and have a mirroring divekick with someone too!
True, but since he was undercover, it's still kind of strange that he has no tattoo - if he wanted to blend in with the yakuza, he needed to do all the usual yakuza things, and the tattoo is one of the most important yakuza traditions.
@@PAPride95 Well, that would become a major problem for him in the future, many companies refrain from promoting or even hiring someone with a tattoo, let alone becoming a cop. And this is also Japan, where tattoos like that also represent allegiance with the Yakuza, so that would be a really big problem for him later
That actually IS impressive Akiyama. He removed all his upper clothing without ripping it but tearing it off all at once. It's so weird seeing without irezumi though
@@yaboi2500i didn't like daigos fight because I felt like they horribly wrote Daigo in that game and made him super out of character, the reason to fight was too cheap. Then his gameplay itself was annoying on top
i love how the older games have a lot of subtle effects during qtes, like the screen turning grayscale during hits or that struggling qte at 3:07 where the contrast goes up to show the struggling
Regardless of everything, Arai did show some wisdom " you can't turn back the clock, regret serves nu purpose". Maybe that's not 100% true, but it's close enough
How exactly is a slacker like Akiyama such a hard core fighter? I mean, I love his character. He's one of my favorites. But there was never any explanation for his abilities.
That's the one mystery I don't understand about him as well. People say it's implied that he was taught by Arai how to fight back when he was saved from a bunch of homeless hunters, but I honestly don't know about that.
My theory is that he had to learn how to fight being that his profession was a loan shark. You encounter other loan sharks throughout the game that also know how to fight with no explanation other than the fact that if the borrower doesn’t wanna pay or is being difficult, they would have to throw hands. Kinda like if you enter law enforcement, your going to have to learn how to shoot a gun at some point since it is an aspect, albeit unwanted, of the work.
@@MBStudios or maybe he learnt his fighting skills when he was a homeless? Being homeless in Kamurocho is a nightmare when you don't have fighting skill
@@satrio303 that’s also true. He does mention he was beaten up by some thugs after the Millennium Tower explosion until Arai rescued him and said he was inspired. It would make sense with his background since all the other characters have their own reasons for learning how to fight (Akiyama through being homeless, Saejima and Kiryu through being yakuza, and Tanimura through being a detective)
Am I the only one who wished Akiyama (and Tanimura and maybe, Munakata) took off their shirts during their final battles? I mean, I know they don't have tattoos, but still. Who wouldn't want to see their sexy, action figure abs?
I kinda like the fact that they don't, if only just because I think suits just, well, suit them too well for a final encounter compared to the shirtless thing.
Yeah, I guess. They could have made it up by having options for being shirtless for every playable character in the Premium Adventure though, espually for Tanimura, since I don't really care for his other alternate costumes that much. What costumes would you have included for the characters?
Kamran Dadashov They don't have to be Yakuza to be shirtless. Who wouldn't want a shirtless moneyloaner? It'd certainly help attract more clients that way. I can imagine Tanimura, walking around in just his pants and shoes, imitating criminals while on the job. If he wants, he can even wear his tie (just without the shirt and jacket) for the sake of fanciness. As for Munakata, probably for character development reasons to show how pathetic he truly is when he tries what the other guys did in a attempt to scare off Tanimura, but he has a beer belly, so... Maybe just have one of his elite swat members be shirtless or something.
Hilversumborn he had the most potential as a final villain in the game. No way in hell kido was going to be strong or tough enough to put up a competitive fight with saejima, daigo has already been beaten and shown to be a lot weaker than kiryu in 2 so again not very competitive, and munakata is another run and gun wimp that hides behind other people like jingu.

I can see why akiyama doesn't use his hands the one time he did he threw arai to the moon lol
🤣🤣🤣
LITERALLY I was like holy fuck he's stronger than he looks LMAO
he uses kicks to contain his power
He's secretly one punch man, which is why he uses kicks to be equal to his opponent

nah..Kido vs Taiga was dumb, and Kiryu vs Daigo was so so
the real boss just Arai and that police guy with guards
*plot wise of course

So nobody's gonna acknowledge that akiyama just sent this guy to outer space with this throw at 0:29?...
I KNOW, I WAS LOOKING FOR THAT COMMENT. FUCKING AKIYAMA, IF HE SLAPS MY GIRL SHE WOULD DIE
He has godlike squatting force
The real reason why Akiyama uses his legs... He would decimate anyone using his hands, RGG studios had to nerf him somehow
Man I really like Arai’s voice actor.
I love it when he says akiyama

So like what's your new favourite then?
@@kamo7293 I gotta know this
guess who else suplexed someone off a roof
@@theend-bk4eoMY MOM!
That finishing QTE was sick.
You always manage to get the music to sync at the right moments... like at 1:33
Arai is a great character in 4 for me. Good theme and good fight. Enjoyable playthrough ^^.
I can’t be the only one that glanced at this and thought Hirohiko Araki was in yakuza
ye
the music adds so much to this fight
I readed "Hirohiko Araki"
I thought one time actually lmao
Jojo mangaka
Then Akiyama would have died.
Also, 1:46 He's just walking, menacingly!
Kinda surprised that Arai has a clean back.
He was never Yakuza to begin with. He was undercover cop planted by Munakata to spy on Tojo Clan .
Because he was always secretly a cop. I'm more surprised kido has a clean back because he's actually yakuza
True, but since he was undercover, it's still kind of strange that he has no tattoo - if he wanted to blend in with the yakuza, he needed to do all the usual yakuza things, and the tattoo is one of the most important yakuza traditions.
Looks like I didn't pay enough attention, because I never noticed Arai was a cop.
@@PAPride95 Well, that would become a major problem for him in the future, many companies refrain from promoting or even hiring someone with a tattoo, let alone becoming a cop.

0:37 it just liked kamen rider final fight against evil kamen rider
Best of the 4 final bosses in my opinion. Also dat Anime Yell "haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The RetroSilverGamer I don’t know, man. Daigo’s fight was pretty good, too.
thanks
@@yaboi2500i didn't like daigos fight because I felt like they horribly wrote Daigo in that game and made him super out of character, the reason to fight was too cheap. Then his gameplay itself was annoying on top
My 2nd favorite fight in the whole series after the Joji Kazama fight
1:33 unintentional music sync
i love how the older games have a lot of subtle effects during qtes, like the screen turning grayscale during hits or that struggling qte at 3:07 where the contrast goes up to show the struggling
I always loved in yakuza 4 the main theme was different in all of the final bosses I liked kiryu's version the best
0:29 No Wonder He dont use His hand.
Like student like teacher but the student exceeds the expectations a lot more.
Regardless of everything, Arai did show some wisdom

Natural talent
A tiger drop except it's a kick?!
Only used 1% of my power
In my opinion, akiyama is that one person who talks shit and doesn't get hit.
I love the sound effects of this kicks

Eileen Milligan in this series only Yakuza take off their shirts
Yakuza 4 have a good storyline 👍 wish this on PS4/PC
Wish granted
people say the story was bad, and I disagre, Yasuko on the on the other hand...
RGG Studios granted your wish.
I miss my boy akiyama
Just waiting that he return in yakuza 8
@@jakjsjsthe fighting tournament game mode will probably make Tanimura and Shinada return too.

I wish Akiyama took off his suit. Make it happen at Yak 7 SEGA
I gotta got my eyes checked I thought that was author of Jojo on the thumbnail
What kind of kick was preformed at 3:23
Dark Requiem- if anything I would have to believe it to be a jumping wheel kick, although anyone is free to correct me.
Looks like Akiyama is doing a flying cross leg kick.
540 kick
I feel Arai is kinda overlooked.
He’s not the best antagonist but still a great one.
If Arai would have had a tattoo I would have picked Jikokuten.
Hilversumborn he had the most potential as a final villain in the game.

The Mystic MacTAPPER Katsuragi should have been the final boss
@@Hilversumborn honestly they kinda wasted katsuragi as a character. He was the boss of a rival yakuza clan but he just died by yasuko?
I just wish that Akiyama had punches in his attack string for a change, but oh well I like Arai and Akiyama.
Paul Patterson he does in 6 but sadly he isn't a playable character
Akiyama is the what Nishikiyama could have been for Kiryu
What Nishkiyama WAS for Kiryu before he changed
Yes, but I think Akiyama is a lot better at combat.
I read that name as hirohiko Araki. Why tho?
Hiroki Awano😂😂😂
Four Face ♥️

akiyama reminds me of aizawa from my hero academia. dont know why. maybe its the lazy like attitude. and they are both agile as well.
