Zhao: *sat at the bar doing his skincare, pink fluffy hairband with ears and patches under his eyes*

Ichi: The fuck?

Zhao: Hey, it takes a lot of effort to look this good. What, you think I just roll outta bed with a baby face?

Ichi: *stares in confusion*

Zhao: Not everyone can roll out of a dumpster looking like a supermodel, Kasuga. Jeez.

[kamurocho-lullaby]

So I was planning to go through and pretty this up but I just haven't had the energy so I'm just gonna dump them here.

These are my notes from my first time watching the Yakuza movie!

I've added a cut because they're long. There's typos, they're not edited, it's literally just chaos bullet points but tadaaaah. There's also a lot of cussing, swearing, whatever u call it, so sorry.

Date is just so fuckin done with the Tokyo PD's shit I love him.

Throwing down in a Don Quixote, yes Kiryu.

WAIT IS THIS STARDUST! IS THAT FUCKIN YUYA?! IT IS AND KAZUKI TOO!

Wait who's this little shit bleeding in Kazuki's floor?

Kiryu's fight in the DQ reminds me of that gif of him fucking up a Poppo it's so good.

HOLY SHIT ITS MILENNIUM TOWER! I sure hope that doesn't explode.

HERE HE IS! Mr Tumblr Sexyman himself.

WHY ISNT HE SHIRTLESS COWARDS

I can't get over the fact Majima supposedly reads the financial times

"where's Kiryu?" "Somewhere" "not good enough" *murder*

I love the idea that Majima is at the batting cages so often it's his office. Like he absolutely painted that sign himself what a dork.

This chick is insane and wants to go robbing stores when a Yakuza war is breaking out, side story material

Date is so fuckin done literally said "not my Division"

AAAAAHHHHHH ITS HARUKA!!!!

Kiryu seems a lot colder in this movie than he is in the games idk maybe he'll warm up

Who is this cocktail making silent man I am so confused

Why is Kazuki so hot?!

THEYRE ROBBING A PORK BOWL SHOP WHAT THE FUCK

Majima and crew are goofy as fuck and I really love them literally everyone is scared of them it's fucking hilarious

HE CALLS HIS CREW KIDDIES and then ditches them to get his rocks off in a video store and the guy he beaned with a fuckin baseball in his own crew is like "ILL FOLLOE U TO THE ENDS OF THE ESRTH"

This man is goofy as fuck one second and then breaking fingers and toes to find his boyfriend the next

DUDE HES PAYING THIS KID WITH PAIN WTF I wanna be this kid wtf

Oh fuck he's got a gun, nobody should allow Majima a gun

HIS CREW KNOWS THE DEAL THEY'RE ALL HANDS UP DONT SHOOT ME BOSS I LOVE YOU

Literally the Majima fam have a "oh fuck the boss has got a gun" emergency plan

I just noticed he's wearing a studded belt omg

Kiryu needs more frown lines

OHHHH DADS MEET AGAIN

Haruka got some sass I love her

"don't be corrupting her mind" what the fuck Date he found her like that

Majima was fuckin up Pink Street why didn't he go karaoke

Lol the guy at Ebisu Pawn gives zero shits about being robbed

Kiryu, Haruka and the dog make a cute picture I love it

Fuckin Majima isn't even like looking for intel he's just wandering around shouting about Kiryu-chaaaaaaaan

Lol Kiryu gets a flip phone and it's got a charm on it omg

"over the top shit is his trademark" you don't fuckin say

LOL DATE he's just like Kiryu and Majima are up to shit it's your fuckin problem I'm out "the military won't even save your asses" omg

Don't tell me the fuckin Jingweon are here I don't wanna fuckin deal with thaaaaaaat

"Yokohama's Lau Kalong" WAIT WHAT (having learned more about 7, YES that Lau Kalong apparently the Snake Flower Triad are a bunch of assholes and they're also like everywhere)

Oh fuck this kid's been sent to kill Kyohei Jingu?! no shit of course he has

Oh fuck SERENA I didn't think we'd see that in this movie

Lol Kiryu knows the RGG way, they ain't dead until you see a body and even then cough cough Kashiwagi cough cough

Lol Haruka teaching him to use a cellphone

Majima taking a break from getting his ass kicked by Kiryu to beat up his boys is so fuckin funny

Haruka's just on the sidelines like "these fuckin dumbass boys smh"

I'm sad it's not his lacquered tanto

Yo Kiryu is fuckin merciless what?!

LOL HE JUST FUCKIN DROPPED Kiryu is so done with his dumbass boyfriend flopping on the groud

Lol all the Yakuza in Kamurocho mobilising like the fuckin Avengers

LOL the bank robbers feeding everyone in the bank is just wild I love it, still can't figure out who they are tho (they're side story material)

LOL ALL OF MAJIMAS GUYS CRAMMED IN AN AMBULACE

How is Majima MORE unhinged in this movie than he is in the games

Theatre square! Honestly the shots in this movie are actually pretty good, im surprised

The Jingweon's gun is a monstrosity why the fuck

Is that supposed to be Shimano?

Kazuki getting all intimidating with the weapons dealer do be kinda hot tho why he gotta grab him by his chin like thst

Also why does Kiryu know this guy and why does he know he's a massochist?!

LOL Kiryu protecting Haruka from the creep but like why is she there?!

Kiryu hearing all this shit about his kyoudai and he's just like... Stomping around like a mad man

Wait is Kazuki an imposter yet? (Spoiler alert, probably)

Lol these idiots cleaning up Pink Street like Majima isn't just gonna whirlwind through it again

"Don't fall for hosts, they'll get you in the end" solid advice Kiryu but are u talking from experience or? Like iirc hosts weren't a thing when u went to jail my man.

What the fuck is this dramatic military shit what who is this man?!

FUCKIN MAJIMA IN THE "BATHOUSE"

Kiryu actually trusts Majima to not go after Haruka! And he doesn't! He's actually genuinely not a bad man he's just mad as a bag of cats

Oh that whole Majima and Kiryu not killing people thing is out the window in this movie omg

"Kiryu-chan, you're so cool" Majima says through a mouthful of blood after he's been knocked fuckin cold onto his ass. This man has it so bad I love it

THE MAJIMA PEEPING AROUNF THE HALLWAY SCENE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE

Fuckin Majima just pelting Kiryu in the gut with baseballs omg this movie is wild

FUCKIN HIS BAT GOT STUCK IN THE WALL OMG

Dude these guys literally kick the shit out of each other it's vicious I love it

The level of choreographed homoerotic whump in this movie

He just straight up put his foot on his ass

The fuckin Staminan X and shit in the shop that's so rad, of course Kiryu is like I'll just chug some of this shit and go fuckin kill my bro I'm fine

THE TATTOO THAT WAS A FUCKIN RAD REVEAL

Oh hey it's Zombie Majima

Who allowed a military helicopter into fuckin Kamurocho airspace that's gotta be so illegal what the fuck

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE BANK ROBBERS I love how they're just laying on the floor with the staff resigned to their shit

Nishiki put the fish away you dumb fuck

Lol Kiryu literally doesn't give a fuck about the Tojo and here's Nishiki making it all about the Tojo like bro wise up Kiryu is done with your shit

Kiryu just stone cold dead until he gets some of that Staminan that's a full triple heat gauge baby the dragon is back omg this movie is the dumbest shit I love it

The fuckin slow mo! 2007 did not deserve this movie

WHY IS THE DOG IN MILENNIUM TOWER?!?! WHAT THE FUCK KIRYU?!

Oh shit there's Kiryu oops guess he's not to blame for the dog

Question, how the fuck they gonna get down from the tower?

Oh my god okay it's done I'll clean this up later (spoiler alert, he did not clean it up later)

[kamurocho-lullaby]

I refuse to believe Majima doesn't make DEEZ NUTZ jokes.

[kamurocho-lullaby]

I FOUND THE YAKUZA MOVIE ON YOUTUBE THIS IS NOT A DRILL PREPARE FOR A LIVEBLOG

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Professor Okita, who invented the robotic vacuum Soji... I see what you did there.

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Yeah Ichiban sure ain't going back to Shangri-La after Majima drives a fuckin' dump truck through the main lobby because his boyfriend is ignoring him

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Millennium Tower gets so thoroughly fucked so often you gotta imagine it's just like the bad luck charm of Kamurocho at this point.

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Kiryu creating a mini Tojo Clan clone in Onomichi is unhinged like you left, now you wanna start another one?!

[kamurocho-lullaby]

I rescinded everything bad I've ever said about Daigo

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Next on the docket for the "Why the fuck is Daigo the Sixth Chairman?!" investigation;

HE LOST A FIGHT TO A BASEBALL PLAYER. CANONICALLY.

Like I love you Daigo but god damn you're making it hard.

[kamurocho-lullaby]

At the point I'm at in Yakuza 5, I'm still not sure how I feel about Daigo. Like... Him as a fuckboy in the earlier games is still firmly in my mind.

ALSO he does some super dumb shit!

Like, he's just taking a vacation talking to a baseball guy right now! I know that's you under that hat Daigo you little shit, a fedora, sunglasses and a mask don't disguise your voice you absolute intolerable moron!

[kamurocho-lullaby]

I looked up Majima's age, for reasons we don't need to get into but that relate closely to them giving him Botox in the later games and the fact that I'm a dirty old man fucker, and I accidentally spoiled one of the Yakuza 5 twists... But I didn't realise it was a fuckin' spoiler until I heard one of the character's names and then I was like... Oh fuck

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Majima trying to claim a tax write off because of the amount of times he's technically been dead

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Hey look, it's a brand new pinned post!

I've watched a LOT of Yakuza in the last week or so meaning my first one was super out of date so here's where we stand now.

I finished watching the mainline games!

I have also seen the dumbass fuckin movie omg what a ride.

Currently watching: Lost Judgement

Currently playing: Yakuza 0 and 7 (LAD)

That means this blog will now have spoilers from all the mainline games, as well as Ishin and Judgement! I'll still tag them as #spoilers and #yakuza spoilers, possibly #RGG spoilers for the spinoffs, but in the event it's a big deal I'll probably spoiler tag more heavily. But yeah, that's where we're at!

I'll probably edit this post as time goes on idk.

[kamurocho-lullaby]

Honestly, the English VA and subtitles for the Y7 drink links are kinda... Reductive. Idk I feel like they lack context and emotion. There's not massive differences, but it's the small ones that really make the difference.

[kamurocho-lullaby]

I didn't even consider named enemies with the PoundMates thing. Watching Korean Virgil react to a crawfish on his shoulder was something I didn't know I needed.
