The baby sidestory is a prime example of why chase should just, on very rare occasions, play the gang the actual cutscene. I feel like that would get alot of mileage
46:25 Fun fact, when Kiryu said "I Peacocked Your Mom", in Japanese he actually just says "I don't care (do I care?)". Honestly I do love when translators are just having fun, adds charm to the games and that we know there is a human behind the translation and not a robot. They done this kind of thing many times throughout the series, SEGA's localisation team are big trolls, they know what they are doing.
I'm actually with chase, I'm pretty sure Ryuji knew who Kiryu was and was playing along. A running thread is his sheer cockiness, so i read that scene as him curious to see what Kiryu is in Osaka for and confidently letting him slide
Also in the fake Kiryu quest it comes across that Kiryu doesn’t realize that Fake Kiryu and Fake Shinji are copying him until Fake Shinji calls Fake Kiryu the Dragon Of Dojima .He just sees to shakedowners and goes “Huh those guys are suspicious,I should go check out what’s up with them.” Which is quintessential Kiryu being a smoothbrained golden retriever
"We've never met Shindo before." 1:54:30 I guess when you beat up a whole score of people outside of Serena in Y1, it's easy to overlook that you kicked their Captain's ass as well, lol.
Did he have a bigger health car? No, no he didn't, therefore he was unimportant. Actually did he have a bigger health bar? It's been a while since I played through one so I can't remember
Poor Daigo man , an attitude that he got over 20 years ago is still being held over his head . Then the fandom shits on him even though he is trying his best
I don't want to spoil things for the boys or anyone else, but the way Daigo acts in this game is, to me, far more frustrating than his actions as a twerpy spoiled prince in 0.
I seriously suggest watching the Majima cage fight walkout clip. It is pure, uncut, Majima energy. Strutting shirtless with his silly little construction helmet, pyrotechnics blazing. Its beautiful.
I’m so disappointed chase didn’t use the screenshot of them angrily standing in their diapers lmao but like another comment said I think sometimes using the actual cutscenes would be preferable for stuff like this. But it’s kind of hard to do for audio only people so I understand
Also, I suggest watching the scene of Ryuji's introduction at the Grand. In the whole game, but especially there, he has this great mix of macho charisma, twisted honor, brutal strength, and chilling intimidation that makes him super compelling every time he's on screen in this game. He is talking all calm and cool while pouring the booze for his underling, who thinks he's been forgiven and is in the clear until he realizes that his glass is overflowing and Ryuji is continuing to pour until the bottle is empty. It's a great villain intro scene. I also read the "I'm not THAT Kiryu" moment as "pssshhh, you'd have to be crazy to ACTUALLY be the 4th chairman walking up here like that. If you ARE, then that bravado is actually kinda hilarious and I dig it." Then, at Omi headquarters where he's like "so it IS you", i read it more like "this effing madlad, lawlz". Also also, just to firmly set the tone for his conflict with Kiryu: the reason why he hates "The Dragon of Kansai" is the idea that it needs a qualifier. ESPECIALLY now that Kiryu is officially out of the game. Kiryu, in his short rise, was known as an absolute legend, a monster on the scene. Ryuji wanted to eclipse the GOAT and become the new greatest legend, but not only a) to be the best, you have to beat the best, but b) with Kiryu retired, even if Ryuji ascends to greatness, he feels like there will always be an asterisk there. He can never truly feel like the greatest living legend if he does not directly challenge and dethrone the king. In this context, you can especially see why being called "The Dragon of Kansai" is so triggering. The Dragon of Dojima is retired, but folks STILL giving Ryuji that "Kansai" qualifier and showing Kiryu his implied greater respect makes him feel less-than, like some regional player. He needs to be the top, unquestioned, undisputed, no qualifiers, greatest of all time. To do that, he NEEDS Kiryu to be in play.
I feel a little bad for Chase. You can hear how excited he is to share this with his friends and is randomly crestfallen throughout when his buds don't really share his enthusiasm...
To be fair to them I do lock them in a room for 12 straight hours and only give them two smoke breaks 👀 They are enthused they're just also very tired 😂
I was so excited for us to get to Kiwami 2, Ryuji Goda's intro in Yakuza 0 shows EXACTLY what to expect from him and going forward into the next games so I'm really glad we started with 0 for the previous context. Also, Rest In Peace Majima Everywhere, we will miss you for the rest of the series.
1. Congrats on the impending arrival of Mini-Monty! (New-is Humanis?) 2. I cannot wait to hear over the next few years the shenanigans of Uncle Chase and Mini-Monty.
New video so time to post my requests for lore dumps again. I'd love to see the dragon age franchise or the persona franchise covered by you guys if possible
Hi chase, if you ever need a break from constant yakuza, you can take a break with RGG's Binary Domain. It sold poorly so it would be something the audience can learn about. More importantly, it gives Kojima a run for his money, so you can do to Monty, what he did to you with Metal Gear. Also its not nearly as in depth as Yakuza, so you can maybe do a little work on it here and there, and use it when you need a break.
So idk if Chase knows it but for Monty and Neil Kuze is still alive and a civilian now. He tried getting back in but failed his mission to rejoin. This all took place in the Like a Dragon Online that only released in japan just like the Dragon Dogma mmorpg.
I know it’s just being played for laughs but goddamn, Monty’s vitriol for 0 is so weird to see. Like if 90% love the game Monty’s in that 10% you forget exists.
Public release is a Halloween special - one 5 hour part with Night Springs as a separate episode releasing 2 weeks later. Both are currently available on Patreon!
@@MontyZanderThanks Monty. I can't wait to hear what Neil and Chase think about the game. By the way, I've already saw twice your five-hour Cririque Beyond The Lake and it's your best work so far. Now we just have wait two months for the Lake House DLC. Hopefully it won't disappoint and somehow close Alan Journey before we may got AW3. PS: someone will become your Patreon this day.
Best wishes to the hosts and Monty's growing family. I've been looking forward to this, cuz' the original 2 is the point where Yakuza fans generally agree the franchise got silly.
Comfort media that is lore dump getting even more sparse...but thankfully re-listening is a thing and congrats on getting a wee baby, hopefully transition into dadhood goes well! 🎉 Also, I haven't heard english-speaking saying "touch wood", that's fun/interesting :D I'm still thinking about your theory from Yakuza 1 how Haruka would have been Nishiki's kid and how nice that would been for the story! I agree Yayoi's awesome but so is Marshmallow-Daigo with his character development! :'D And yeah, Ruyji's such a bland himbo of a character that's mainly the reason I haven't gotten yakuza 2 😂 Biggest twist of Yakuza series is Majima being bi and Kiryu being gay one. :D
k so after this youtube ran 0...which starts out with.....VIRGIN! VIRGIN! VIRGIN! How can 0 not be your favorite. Also "The customer is king"? That amazing Majima entrance. It's 0. It's gotta be 0.
The baby sidestory is a prime example of why chase should just, on very rare occasions, play the gang the actual cutscene. I feel like that would get alot of mileage
yea, there should be some reactions quick bits. especially later with the poundmates and special moves, like Essence of Orbital Laser

these thumbnails are getting more insane each episode and i am 100% here for it
I'm actually with chase, I'm pretty sure Ryuji knew who Kiryu was and was playing along. A running thread is his sheer cockiness, so i read that scene as him curious to see what Kiryu is in Osaka for and confidently letting him slide
Chase was absolutely right about that scene.
That was neil your thinking of chase was the one saying he didn't know
@jormungandr147 yeah I thought I might have had the names confused but I was blanking on Neil's name.
@@jormungandr147 absolutely RIP how did I mix their names up like that
You’re thinking of Neil. All chase did, was do Ryuji dirty
Also in the fake Kiryu quest it comes across that Kiryu doesn’t realize that Fake Kiryu and Fake Shinji are copying him until Fake Shinji calls Fake Kiryu the Dragon Of Dojima .He just sees to shakedowners and goes “Huh those guys are suspicious,I should go check out what’s up with them.” Which is quintessential Kiryu being a smoothbrained golden retriever

I love how you can hear the moment when it clicks in Monty's and Neil's heads that Ryuji was the Bontan Bandit!
Holy shit the Ryuji realization is amazing. 59:25
Poor Daigo man , an attitude that he got over 20 years ago is still being held over his head . Then the fandom shits on him even though he is trying his best
I don't want to spoil things for the boys or anyone else, but the way Daigo acts in this game is, to me, far more frustrating than his actions as a twerpy spoiled prince in 0.
Daigo gets the shit end of the stick mostly because he has to clean up a lot of kyrius mistakes
Daigo really gets unnecessary hate
I seriously suggest watching the Majima cage fight walkout clip. It is pure, uncut, Majima energy. Strutting shirtless with his silly little construction helmet, pyrotechnics blazing. Its beautiful.
Kyrius smirk is what gets it for me.
I'd buy a Moonty™ Spray Bottle.
Edit: Man, Neil did an amazing job on that Spotify announcement at the end, I genuinely loved it!
The Dragon of Dojima asserts dominance over the Dragon of Kansai: "Do Bontan mean anything to you?"
I’m so disappointed chase didn’t use the screenshot of them angrily standing in their diapers lmao but like another comment said I think sometimes using the actual cutscenes would be preferable for stuff like this. But it’s kind of hard to do for audio only people so I understand
Let's go, glad you're back lads. Congrats on all that life has brought you. Hopefully happiness and health keeps your way.
For one, congratulations on the baby Monty!!! Also I missed you guys

OMG 3 hours, let's go!! Hype!!!
I'M SO EXCITED TO LEARN ABOUT SECRET KOREANS!
MR BONTAN HERE WE GO!
This Thumbnail is already giving me a hunch about what kind of a great and fun episode this is going to be. Thanks guys.
1. Congrats on the impending arrival of Mini-Monty! (New-is Humanis?)
2. I cannot wait to hear over the next few years the shenanigans of Uncle Chase and Mini-Monty.
I was just thinking yesterday I haven't seen Lore Dump in a while. My timing is great I guess.
Forgot to comment for the algorithm. I was too hyped to see the latest entry! Loving these so much guys. Keep'em coming!
Back like we never left 🎉
Subtle fun fact, when Kawara was threatening the fake Kazuki, HE WAS WRONG. he was going to kill real Kazuki
That can’t be right wasn’t he pointing at the fake one.That’s the whole reason that scene exist to clue us in on the fact that he is semi trustworthy
Oh lordiloo you are right.Idiot pulls a gun on the real Kazuki .What an asshole
@@Thewatcher-ej6qv that's from the information, it also shows us how unhinged he's become he just focuses on killing
Oh damn you were right dude is a psycho
2:48:35 "He's a racist!"
(A "Lovecraftian games" recommnedation appears while I'm scrolling.)
CONGRATS MONTY🎉 side note I’m becoming sad as I catch up on lore dump videos. I’ll miss hearing you guys regularly
Congratulations!!!!!! And look forward to episodes whenever yall can get them!!!!! 😮🎉
I was about to resume re-listening to the Part 2 of KH3 video again to make work more fun, when this popped up. Thank you.
Another excellent episode. And Congrats, Monty, on the coming baby!! Absolutely loved the light bulb moment with Ryuji. That had me rolling. ❤
New video so time to post my requests for lore dumps again. I'd love to see the dragon age franchise or the persona franchise covered by you guys if possible
They’re back!!!! I missed the boys. Congrats Monty
48:04 I'd like to officially endorse "banana hammock" as my preferred term of the options presented
It's about damn time I've been missing yall
I’ve been waiting for this! Let’s go!
It kinda hurts still to hear how frustrated the guys were with 0. 😔
I just know that thumbnail of Manbaby Babyman is throwing the non-fans of Yakuza for a fucking loop.

1:26:30 when Kawara was introduced I actually though it _was_ Date, having a model closer to his VA in the dragon engine.
So idk if Chase knows it but for Monty and Neil Kuze is still alive and a civilian now. He tried getting back in but failed his mission to rejoin. This all took place in the Like a Dragon Online that only released in japan just like the Dragon Dogma mmorpg.
Baby joke, immediately followed by "lore DUMPERS" Timing is everything.
I Missed yall
I know it’s just being played for laughs but goddamn, Monty’s vitriol for 0 is so weird to see. Like if 90% love the game Monty’s in that 10% you forget exists.
LETS FUCKING GO!!!
2:26:54 Nishida is the man in the blue on the left
So... when can we expect Alan Wake II Lore Dump? Will it be somewhere in November after Lake House DLC? And how many parts it will have? Thanks guys.

Crazy my first viren is due on Christmas. Little khimari
Damn, I didn’t think we’d add racist Monty to LD lore (to those who haven’t watched the video this is a JOKE)
Best wishes to the hosts and Monty's growing family. I've been looking forward to this, cuz' the original 2 is the point where Yakuza fans generally agree the franchise got silly.
How the hell did I not see this got released?
I'm hoping you guy's do LA Noire next after you're done with the Yakuza series
Silly chase, it's a revolver cylinder, not a mag😢
Lore Dump, wanna collab keep up the good content
Congratulations on the child

I’ve wanted to ask you guys, what are your pronouns? I don’t want to accidentally misgender anyone
Monty and Neil - he/him
Chase - he/they
@@LoreDump thanks my fellow human beings!
Yakuza kwami 2 great.......
Quite looking forward to seeing what episodes the baby presents on the show
no majima thumbnail. channel ruined. unsubscribed.
