What you're not seeing is that the man in the bar is wearing a gimp costume so it's okay. /s

The trick is that everyone in this universe is immortal outside of cutscene deaths, so he really isn't killing anyone.

With the amount of shots it takes to down someone and with how Kiryu can get shot multiple times, clearly the bullets are rubber.

^ I feel it might be preferable to get shot rather than suffer some of those moves

What?
Kiryu pulls an NPC in front of him to get shot to death to save himself in the first game.

Another thing that is weird is the creator saying Kiryu is a virgin. The substories are canon and he bangs anywhere from 3 to 9 hostesses per game at the end of their substories and he also was dating Kaoru between 2 and 3. Absolutely makes no damn sense.

When I first saw that, that made me cringe. Think it's the only one that made me cringe.

Does it actually state in plain text that sex happened though? I don't remember anything being implied to happen between Kiryu and Kaoru either, but it's been a while since I've played.

In 3, 4 and 5 at the end of a hostess substory, Kiryu and the hostess come out of a love hotel and most of them make some type of comment that Kiryu was amazing in bed or the best they've ever had. I also don't think Kaoru would have dated Kiryu for a whole year without banging him at least once, especially considering that scene at the end of 2.

The substories are canon
They are not in the context of how the creators meant that comment. There's basically two levels of canon. What happens in the story, and everything else (minigames, substories, business junk etc.)

I always got the idea that most of the side stories were non-canon. Only certain ones that a storyline continue in another game, like Pocket Circuit Fighter or the Yakuza family in baby diapers were exceptions and canon >_>

I know this thread is about Kiryu, but it made me remember the one heat move that caught me off guard in Yakuza 4 where Akiyama tosses someone off the top of a building.

It's at 1:30 in this video:

This is hilarious. Is it the company that made those claims or was it said in game or something?

I never really cared if he killed anyone, since it was a game and he never actually starts the fueds.

Oh shit nvm, Kiryu can throw people off buildings as well. 1:15 in this video:

https://youtu.be/RZwRe9gFNBA

My favorite heat actions in these compilations are the one where the characters take out their opponent's shins with a bowling ball, and when they get them in an arm lock and rip out one of their fingernails with a pair of pliers. Looks like they're universal heat moves.

I think it's just one of those things people assume of him, since he's this noble guy, who never kills his enemies that deserve it in cutscenes

It's just a prevailing meme. Kiryu has never stated outright that he won't kill, but it very much seems that the games will go out of their way to prevent Kiryu from needing to make the call, which is to say that if the enemy dies, it will either be by their own hand, or another (evil) character's.

Oh. All the whacky stuff kind of trained me to not use any of it as canon to the main story. It seems very obvious you're not suppose to take the stuff outside the main story cutscenes as too literal and serious. The tone is just so dramatically opposite. It's like seperating dreams from your waking world for me.

My headcanon is that the Yakuza universe is a parallel universe where are humans are stronger and more durable than they are here. They also heal better.

This healing is weakened if you're monologing in a cutscene though.

I think it originated from the fact that Kiryu canonically has a "no kill" policy despite the player being able to do the opposite in game.

It's funnier in games like 0 where you can gun down a whole group of enemies and by the end of the exchange those same enemies will be on their hands and knees apologizing as if you simply just beat them up.

Kiryu is Superman but doesn't actually realize it. That's my theory, anyway. He just presumes his healing factor is his natural fighting spirit.

I respect that perspective, if you're being serious >_>.

I basically just don't go out my way to attack my own enjoyment of something not meant to be taken so serious. When you can easily just put a simple perspective manipulation on it like you did, you can then enjoy it for what it is and not roll your eyes at something never meant to be taken so literal.
