Latest / Replay Reviews / He Calls That Move the Sh*t Kebab - Yakuza Kiwami 2 - Part 2
Transcript
- 0:00In this episode, we go underwear shopping, Gary Buster Holmes gets shish kebabed, and
- 0:06Kiryu says what we're all thinking.
- 0:08What the hell is this?
- 0:10I still can't get over the shish kebab.
- 0:12We skipped through a lot of the fighting just to speed up our note taking, but I couldn't
- 0:18skip over that part.
- 0:19Too good.
- 0:20You had to witness it.
- 0:23Thank you for coming back from our replay reviews.
- 0:25My name is Leah.
- 0:26And my name is Kathy.
- 0:27We are two friends who are here to replay, review, and analyze your favorite video games.
- 0:32And since Kathy has never seen the games before, it helps me view them through her fresh eyes,
- 0:37almost like I'm discovering them again for the first time.
- 0:39We hope it will be a similar experience for you.
- 0:48Alright then, Chapter 5, Hidden Past, Kiryu and Sayama arrive in Kamurocho.
- 0:54Sayama's not doing too good, so Kiryu takes her to a now-abandoned Serena.
- 1:00He then heads on his own to Tojo HQ to fill everyone in on what's going on.
- 1:05Why are they trying to force a romance plot between Kiryu and Sayama with her carrying
- 1:10him in the streets?
- 1:12Bridal style?
- 1:13Bridal style.
- 1:14Isn't that what it's called?
- 1:15Bride style?
- 1:16Or is it?
- 1:17I've never heard that.
- 1:18Let me, I gotta Google it now.
- 1:19Doesn't mean it's not a thing, but I've never heard of it.
- 1:20I guess it's called the Bridal Carry, not a Bridal Style.
- 1:25Bridal Style sounds better though.
- 1:30Anyways, they're working real hard to force a romance plot over some minor issue of getting
- 1:41shot in the shoulder, which I'm just kind of frustrated there.
- 1:45On his way there, he gets a call from Daigo, but soon another person takes over the call
- 1:50and tells Kiryu to meet him tomorrow at 1am at the Amano building if he wants Daigo to
- 1:56live.
- 1:57At the Tojo Clan HQ, they discuss all that's happening and they think that the Goryu and
- 2:03the foreign group are connected.
- 2:06Should we talk about Shindo now?
- 2:09Mmhmm.
- 2:10Okay, so Yayoi asks him, he's the Nishiki family patriarch, to give Kiryu some backup
- 2:19as the Amano building is in his territory.
- 2:22But he says, I don't think so.
- 2:26Basically the Nishiki family is still mad at Kiryu and they're still loyal to Nishiki.
- 2:30He's even dressed like him.
- 2:33But how cool is it though?
- 2:35Like it's kind of cool that he's still commanding respect a year later after his death.
- 2:41That's exactly what I was gonna say.
- 2:43Even though Nishiki struggled in the beginning, the fact that in the end his men still respect
- 2:49him, that relationship that he's built demonstrates how much of a great leader he is.
- 2:56Because you don't see Dojima's family willing to do that.
- 3:00That's why he's my KFC, he's my favorite character because the respect he still gets is amazing.
- 3:08This moment honestly pushes him so high up in just cool character.
- 3:16He just did so much and he earned it.
- 3:19And the fact that he grew up being pretty much emotionally abused by Kazama knowing
- 3:26that he's the backup child, yet he still was able to make something out of his name.
- 3:32I just love this character.
- 3:35So Yayoi, her name is so fun to say.
- 3:40She says she has something personal to discuss with Kiryu.
- 3:44And she gives him a warehouse key saying, the personal effects of several of the officers
- 3:49we lost last year are kept in there.
- 3:51Perhaps you'll find something that can help guide the clan through this.
- 3:55We don't find anything of Nishiki's, which I feel like is a bit of a slap in the face.
- 4:01I mean I'm glad that we find Majima's dagger, but it's weird that his stuff is the only
- 4:06stuff that we find.
- 4:08Agreed.
- 4:09Upon finding this dagger though, Kiryu gets the idea that maybe they need Majima to help
- 4:14them through this.
- 4:15So he tells his plan to Kashiwagi and Lady Dojima.
- 4:20And we learn that the Shimano family was absorbed at some point within the past year by the
- 4:25Nishikiyama family.
- 4:27Kiryu's line is, what if he were to come back?
- 4:31And Kashiwagi suggests looking for Majima in purgatory.
- 4:35I'm excited to see him again, but it's almost like Kiryu can't do it by himself that he
- 4:43needs Majima to come save the day.
- 4:45You're not going to get this because it's a movie reference, but it's like all of Justice
- 4:49League is all the superheroes are fighting and they can't win.
- 4:53And then Superman comes into the scene and he single-handedly saves the day.
- 4:57That's what it feels like he's not enough.
- 4:59We need Majima.
- 5:01And it makes me feel like Majima is the main character, that he's more powerful than Kiryu.
- 5:07That, and I also feel like he keeps trying to pass everything off on other people like
- 5:14Daigo first and now Majima.
- 5:17Which then makes me confused why everyone thinks so highly of Kiryu.
- 5:21If he can't handle things and he needs Majima to come into the scene, then why did he get
- 5:27so much respect to begin with?
- 5:29This is a series long question that we've had so far is what did Kiryu really do?
- 5:35Because Nishiki did way more, but he got way less respect, which is what led to him becoming
- 5:41a villain.
- 5:42Okay, moving on.
- 5:45Once back in Kamurocho, Kiryu gets a call from Sayama and she's pissed that he took off
- 5:49without telling her.
- 5:51But then she asks him to buy her some underwear and beer and then pretends like the phone
- 5:57is breaking out so that he can't say no.
- 6:00What a weird scene.
- 6:02He gets the stuff for her and goes back to Serena where she comes out in a towel and
- 6:08kind of practically flashes him.
- 6:13And I like my question is what is she doing?
- 6:16Based on the tone and the conversations she had, she's like annoyed with him all the time.
- 6:21So if I hated someone or was annoyed with them, there's no way you can get me to be
- 6:27in a towel and pretty much just rope in front of that person.
- 6:31But I don't understand.
- 6:33She had a robe with her, so you could have changed into the robe in the room you were
- 6:40just in and not just drop towel right in front of Kiryu.
- 6:45I was almost expecting her to have a sunflower tramp stamp.
- 6:51Because why else would you make her drop her towel like that?
- 6:55And then when she's in her robe, she barely has a cinch in the front.
- 7:00So it's a lot of chesting for someone who's obviously uncomfortable with what Kiryu has
- 7:07been doing.
- 7:08Very unprofessional, Sayama.
- 7:11Pull it together.
- 7:12Literally, pull the robe together.
- 7:15So Kiryu confronts her about her interest in the Tojo Clan.
- 7:19She responds that she had overheard Tamiyo, her adopted mother, saying the Tojo Clan is
- 7:25what made Karu's life a living hell.
- 7:29I'm kind of annoyed that the plotline is like the parental trauma kind of thing.
- 7:35She could have been a police officer for other reasons, but they had to made it into a situation
- 7:39where it's the parents' fault or someone hurt their parents and then now they're seeking
- 7:45revenge or seeking the truth.
- 7:48I've had enough of the orphans.
- 7:52So after their chat, they head to Purgatory.
- 7:56Kiryu is surprised to see Purgatory is now a construction site.
- 7:59Gary Buster Holmes approaches and tells him that the boss is waiting for him downstairs.
- 8:05This is where we find out that the florist moved to the Millennium Tower and Majima moved
- 8:09in to Purgatory to start Majima construction and his plan, Kamurocho Hills.
- 8:17But I do love that his character is consistent where he goes like Kiryu, that kind of crazy
- 8:24that we've seen from previous games.
- 8:27I do like how his character is consistent.
- 8:31And consistently inconsistent.
- 8:33He'll go from just insane, which we understand why Sayama goes, who or what is that?
- 8:40But then later in this scene, he'll go to just like super smart level headed talking normally.
- 8:48Kiryu asks Majima to help the Tojo Clan and he is quite resistant, but eventually agrees.
- 8:52If Kiryu fights in his tournament, big surprise, we have to have a tournament in every game.
- 8:59So this is where one of his opponents is Gary Buster Holmes.
- 9:05And I happened to have a rather large pole in Kiryu's pocket, which he uses in a choice
- 9:15manner.
- 9:16He lines it up perfectly with the pooper, the tooter, and then just smashes it in there.
- 9:25And then Gary Buster Holmes' knees go inward like those...
- 9:30It's almost as if, imagine Haruka standing still mid run when her knees are touching
- 9:36and just kind of going inwards.
- 9:39That's Gary Buster Holmes' reaction to getting a pole stabbed up his butthole.
- 9:45What a way to end your opponent.
- 9:47Who animated that?
- 9:50So Kiryu wins and Majima keeps his word.
- 9:53He says, let's hash this shit out over a drink.
- 9:56He says to Majima, I just want you to give them a hand.
- 9:59So he doesn't want him to come back to the Tojo Clan.
- 10:02He just wants them to help out a little bit.
- 10:04Are we sure it's not some kind of deeper plan that I'm going to first ask you for a hand
- 10:11and then an arm and a leg and then slowly pull you back into the Tojo Clan?
- 10:16I don't know.
- 10:17I kind of get the feeling that Kiryu doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
- 10:20Which is why I question in the previous episode, Kashibaki is like, what will Kiryu do?
- 10:27I mean, the man doesn't even know himself.
- 10:30We put Kiryu up on such a pedestal and it really just doesn't make sense.
- 10:34I need someone has to explain why Kiryu has so much credibility.
- 10:40If anyone says Kiryu is your favorite character, can you please tell us why?
- 10:44Because I'm curious.
- 10:46And part of that could be that he is flawed, which I understand.
- 10:49But in this game, especially, and it might have something to do with Kiwami's the remake
- 10:53of the original game, so maybe they were never planning on a sequel and that kind of had
- 10:58to force it a little bit.
- 11:00I think that could come into play a bit, but honestly Kiryu in this game just really irritates
- 11:04me.
- 11:05They talk through everything that's happening and Majima says, can't help but think someone's
- 11:11pulling your strings.
- 11:12So he does not trust this situation.
- 11:14Specifically, he doesn't trust Ryuji.
- 11:17He says that crazy f**k will kill you then steal your pants.
- 11:20Which is a great call back to you haven't seen it, but in Yakuza 0 there's a sub story
- 11:25as Majima where there's a young Ryuji and he steals your pants.
- 11:32He just goes around stealing people's pants.
- 11:35Oh my god.
- 11:36And it's so weird.
- 11:39So after this conversation, we pretty much learned that Majima never liked Turada and
- 11:43that people like Majima and Kashiwagi got sidelined when he took over.
- 11:47And eventually Majima just got tired of it and left the Yakuza.
- 11:52I feel like Kiryu choosing Turada as the chairman and then immediately like, peace, I'm out.
- 12:00That's so irresponsible of him.
- 12:03I feel bad for his friends that know him because they're the ones who are suffering with Kiryu's
- 12:08consequences of choosing a bad person.
- 12:10I feel like Kiryu should get somewhat the blame if Turada was a villain.
- 12:16So Kiryu returns to Serena and he and Sayama chat and he tells the story of his parents'
- 12:20deaths and that whole backstory involving Kazuma.
- 12:24This scene makes me sad I guess for Kiryu because I think he sunk so much into the Yakuza
- 12:31that not forgiving Kazuma was just not an option because that would be admitting that
- 12:39basically his whole life was a waste because he did everything that Kazuma asked him to
- 12:46do.
- 12:47It's not that I want him to not forgive Kazuma but I feel like there has to be a neutral
- 12:52like you accept the facts of what happened.
- 12:57You don't need to forgive Kazuma because the only reason why he got a chance to be a father
- 13:01figure was him killing his own parents.
- 13:05Kazuma was a manipulator and justified things using the wrong means and Kiryu is so brainwashed
- 13:13that he forgave him.
- 13:15And I feel like he could have just accepted the facts and leave it as it is and just keep
- 13:19moving forward.
- 13:20I still can't get over the fact that he forgave Kazuma so quickly.
- 13:24I can't either and that's why I kind of feel like he really didn't have an option
- 13:28because otherwise he would be forced to analyze his life and he doesn't want to have to admit
- 13:35that all the time and loyalty he gave to the Yakuza is him giving that to people who destroyed
- 13:42his life.
- 13:43And then Kiryu has a line he says, I'm not proud of my life as Yakuza.
- 13:49Kazuma did that.
- 13:50Yeah, the life you're not proud of is the life that Kazuma built for you.
- 13:58But you won't stop giving this man every benefit of every doubt.
- 14:03Is that lighter that he uses the same lighter from Yakuza Zero that he shared the lighter
- 14:09he shares with Mishki?
- 14:11I can't remember at the end who has it.
- 14:14I mean, I don't think Mishki has it but yeah, I couldn't remember either.
- 14:18I wondered that too.
- 14:19And there's one scene where I was like, Oh, no, it's not.
- 14:21But I don't know why I thought that.
- 14:23Okay, but I think it could be.
- 14:27They then head out for their their meeting at the building at one o'clock.
- 14:33That's all I have anything else before we get to Majima.
- 14:38Okay, so here starts one of the big, big additions in the Kiwami edition, which is the Majima
- 14:44saga.
- 14:46And we're in chapter one Tojo Clan reform.
- 14:48It's February 17 2006.
- 14:50So about 10 months earlier, Toronto holds a meeting and Tojo members are pissed about
- 14:56his reformation project.
- 15:00Basically you buy you buy your way in what you earn is how high you get in the rankings.
- 15:06So we meet a couple new patriarchs Uematsu and Ibuchi.
- 15:11So we learned pretty quickly that this meeting is to use the reformation process to determine
- 15:16the next clan captain.
- 15:17So they pull up a graph of all the family's earnings.
- 15:23And we see that Uematsu and Ibuchi are way, way higher earning than the rest.
- 15:28But Uematsu will be the next captain based off of this new process.
- 15:33The difference is so astonishing on the graph.
- 15:37So one how is no one questioning if this information is even accurate?
- 15:42Like who's tracking this?
- 15:44I almost feel like Ibuchi being so supportive of Uematsu becoming the captain.
- 15:53It's suspicious because he's not taking it.
- 15:57It almost seems like he wants Uematsu to take the fall or that Ibuchi is working with Tarada
- 16:05to try to get Uematsu to be like a front man of something, the puppet.
- 16:13Because Uematsu seems like he's all bark and no brains.
- 16:18Majima, he crashes the meeting and plops down in the captain's chair and he then summons
- 16:25his mentor role in a ginormous cart of cash, which makes him the highest earner.
- 16:31And he says next clan captain is going to be me.
- 16:35Majima is putting Tarada in a hard position.
- 16:37He either has to stick with his reformation criteria or abandon it, effectively admitting
- 16:43that he wanted a certain person as captain.
- 16:46And the reformation criteria was just a cover to like quell dissatisfaction among the other
- 16:53families.
- 16:54He played him.
- 16:55He played him so good.
- 16:57I love how smart Majima is because Kiryu could never.
- 17:03But also, I'm wondering if Tarada is really that shallow in thinking that all of a sudden
- 17:10changing this reform and having Uematsu is going to solve issues or is he pretending
- 17:17like he's stupid and shallow when he's actually a really calculating man?
- 17:23I think it's a little bit of both.
- 17:25It seems like he's trying to play everybody to, and I think Majima says something along
- 17:29these lines later.
- 17:31He's essentially trying to just get his own men around him and in higher positions, but
- 17:38he's using a cover of the reformation project to not just outright say he's doing that,
- 17:46but it's so transparent that he just looks stupid.
- 17:50And then his, so Ibuchi presses him like, hey, it's up to you.
- 17:54And his responses look to table the issue for now.
- 17:58How weak is that?
- 18:00What a weak response.
- 18:01Kiryu chose Tarada to be the chairman because he was a smart and neutral and fair person.
- 18:08But this is the man who, if he doesn't get his way and he's trying not to lose face,
- 18:14he's doing that.
- 18:15I love how Majima puts him to be in that spot of demonstrating his weakness.
- 18:21And the line that he says of, you can't mess with the Tojo Clan and not expect its dog
- 18:27to bite you.
- 18:28I love how he fully leans into his nickname.
- 18:31I just love how he doesn't give a flying crap about anything, like anything, yet he's by
- 18:39far the smartest person.
- 18:41It's because he doesn't care.
- 18:42That's why he's smart.
- 18:43Yeah.
- 18:44Exactly.
- 18:45Yeah.
- 18:46It's great.
- 18:47Everyone loves Majima.
- 18:48You can't, you just can't not.
- 18:49I kind of, I can understand why and why, Sierra, I was hesitant to like his character with
- 18:55the background and everything.
- 18:56I didn't really quite understand it.
- 18:59And I think I liked Kiryu's stories, like whenever we see his saga because of Nishiki.
- 19:05But now that Nishiki's out of the picture, I am fully embracing Majima and his smarts.
- 19:12So the meeting disbands and as Majima leaves, he bumps into Kashiwagi.
- 19:16Can I just say I like their dynamic?
- 19:17Oh my gosh.
- 19:18Yes.
- 19:19That's something I was going to mention.
- 19:20I, how should I say it?
- 19:23It's two highly intelligent men with completely different styles, yet when they come together,
- 19:29it's okay if they're different styles because at the end of the day it works.
- 19:33They have completely different vibes, yet they still mesh together when they have a
- 19:36common goal.
- 19:38Kashiwagi warns him saying Uematsu is not likely to take a slight like that lying down.
- 19:43Majima doesn't care.
- 19:45Back in Kamurocho, he's jumped by who he assumes are men sent from Uematsu, but one
- 19:50of them says you ought to be worried about your own family.
- 19:54So this is when it appears that Uematsu attacked his family and so he immediately goes to confront
- 20:00him.
- 20:01That's where we find him dead.
- 20:03He's already dead.
- 20:05I bet it's Ibushi who probably killed him because he was mad that he couldn't be top.
- 20:13So if he's not going to be able to be the puppet, there's no point in keeping him alive.
- 20:18It's definitely fishy.
- 20:21Anything else on Majima Saga Part 1 or should we go to Chapter 6?
- 20:25Chapter 6.
- 20:26Okay.
- 20:27Chapter 6 is Schemes.
- 20:30We're back to Date and Kuwara who meet with Yuya and Kazuki at Stardust.
- 20:34Yuya excuses himself to go get some snacks for them and they set a trap for Kazuki telling
- 20:40him investigators are about to come busting in and mention it's due to foreign groups
- 20:44being involved with the Millennium Tower bombing.
- 20:47They say if he's mafia, he'll go straight to his boys and before too long he does go
- 20:51running out of the building.
- 20:53It doesn't have to mean he's in the mafia.
- 20:58He could be running to his other friends who own bars on that street to warn them.
- 21:03They chase after him and then we're back to Kiryu and Sayama who track down the Amano
- 21:08Building.
- 21:09Why'd they wait till the last minute to start trying to find this building when they knew
- 21:12that they didn't know where it was?
- 21:14Because Kiryu's stupid and doesn't know how to prepare for things.
- 21:18I need Kazuma to tell me his plan.
- 21:20I don't know what that voice was.
- 21:22If it was not Kiryu.
- 21:24No you sound like Kazuma's dad.
- 21:28Came from the depths.
- 21:29I don't know what that was.
- 21:31Moving on, wow.
- 21:35So another wild goose chase.
- 21:37Eventually we are able to go into the building.
- 21:40Kiryu asks to go on alone since that's what the caller demanded and Sayama's not happy
- 21:44but does agree to this.
- 21:46So Kiryu fights his way up to the roof and once he gets up there he sees Date and Kawara
- 21:52as well as two Kazukis and his reaction is what the hell is this?
- 21:57Which I love.
- 21:59How did they get one person to look so similar to the other person?
- 22:03It's a Connor situation.
- 22:06We've got duplicates here.
- 22:08Only that one made sense.
- 22:09This one.
- 22:10Yeah.
- 22:11This one doesn't make sense, Cathy.
- 22:14To be honest, I don't get it at all.
- 22:16I don't even know if the writers get it.
- 22:19Well the other fact is how did they even match their entire outfit and hairstyle?
- 22:25They had to be stocking Kazuki.
- 22:28It makes absolutely zero sense in my opinion.
- 22:32And this is not going to be the first time in the series where there's magically a double
- 22:38of somebody.
- 22:39So I'm just going to tell you that now.
- 22:41They love doing this.
- 22:44Things get confusing and heated.
- 22:46Guns are drawn and then a fake Kazuki shoots both Kawara and the real Kazuki but they're
- 22:52not dead so that's good.
- 22:54What happened leading up to the shooting was Kawara ends up wanting to shoot one of them
- 23:01without reasonable evidence and Date's kind of hesitant.
- 23:08But then Date, why are you distracting him when he has a gun?
- 23:14If Date would have freaking get out of the way, they wouldn't have ended up being in
- 23:19the shooting situation.
- 23:20I get he's trying to stop him but his hesitancy, this is not the first time we've seen Date
- 23:25ruin things.
- 23:26And I'm just so annoyed at him right now.
- 23:29I know and it gets worse.
- 23:31Well we find out that this fake Kazuki is the one who called Kiryu yesterday.
- 23:36Kawara convinces Date to take a shot which grazes the fake's head.
- 23:42But then Sayama appears out of nowhere and takes him down.
- 23:47Why did Kiryu turn to look at Sayama like that?
- 23:51We both did the same thing.
- 23:54Why does he move like that?
- 23:58I made you rewatch that like three times because I thought it was hilarious.
- 24:02If you're a millennial, imagine the dramatic groundhog.
- 24:06That's how he moves his head.
- 24:09It looks like he's got a kink in his neck, he slept on it.
- 24:12Funny.
- 24:13And he has to turn everything to go look.
- 24:16It cracks me up.
- 24:19But I feel like this earns points in how cool Sayama is that she's staying so far away and
- 24:23she can manage a headshot and Date, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but that
- 24:28man can't shoot, that man loses kids, that man has a terrible relationship with his own
- 24:33daughter, that man is distracting when you shouldn't be, he can barely solve cases.
- 24:39How did he get to be so high ranking that he gets people respect when he's like the
- 24:43equivalent of Giryu in Police World?
- 24:47So they decide a situation is a bit too messy and they make a run for it when they hear
- 24:52sirens.
- 24:54Anything else on that scene for you?
- 24:56Okay.
- 24:57Final chapter of this part, chapter seven, the foreign threat.
- 25:02They rush Kazuki and Koara to a clinic Kiryu knows of.
- 25:07And again, we're just going everywhere except the hospital anytime we get hurt.
- 25:12And the fact they had such a long debate on what to do while these two people were pretty
- 25:17much bleeding out.
- 25:18And then they decide to run and jostle the two injured people who are bleeding out everywhere
- 25:24when there's multiple opportunities to get onto a bike or a moped and take you to where
- 25:29you need to go to avoid running into people.
- 25:32I just don't understand.
- 25:34They're standing there talking about it like they don't look completely obvious just for
- 25:38her and men piggybacking.
- 25:41You don't see that.
- 25:42That's not something you see.
- 25:44So they get to the clinic, drop off the injured, and then they're told that it's probably best
- 25:49for everyone if they leave.
- 25:50So they head out and discuss that they shouldn't tell Yuya anything.
- 25:56But then Yuya pops up, I don't know where, and they proceed.
- 25:58Kiryu proceeds to just try to tell him everything and Date has to cut him off.
- 26:03See I don't know how Kiryu made it this far.
- 26:05He's poorly written in this game.
- 26:08So after dealing with Yuya, Kiryu and Date head to Bacchus, now Bantam, to exchange information.
- 26:14While there, we learn Date used to work with Besho, who is Sayama's captain, I guess?
- 26:21Boss?
- 26:22Yeah.
- 26:23And that Kawara has a history of being too quick on the draw.
- 26:26You can get away with self-defense a few times, but to have that kind of track record of pretty
- 26:31much causing many genocides around in Japan, how do you get away with it?
- 26:38Which makes me kind of nervous about Kiryu's future if he's going to be hanging around
- 26:43Kawara, because Kawara is obviously a lot more powerful than what we think.
- 26:50Yeah, it seems that way.
- 26:52So after their chat, Kiryu meets up with Sayama back at the clinic, where Kawara is kind of
- 26:57roasting her a little bit.
- 26:59But when Kiryu shows up, two guys bust in right after him looking for a Kang, who we
- 27:05can assume is the Kazuki double.
- 27:08Sayama tries to question them, and they just punch her straight in the face.
- 27:13Unnecessary, guys.
- 27:14Why are we making...
- 27:16First we have a female slap, and then we have a female immediately thrown under the bus,
- 27:22and then now we have a female punched in the face.
- 27:25So why is Kiryu now suddenly mad about women being hit, because he didn't care when he
- 27:30slapped Haruka in the last game.
- 27:32For reals, what a hypocrite.
- 27:35Anyway, moving on.
- 27:39So after he takes them down, Kawara jumps on one to question them.
- 27:45Why does he fall on them like that?
- 27:48It makes me laugh, I'll show you.
- 27:54He tripped and fell, Leah.
- 28:01It wasn't intentional.
- 28:02He tripped and fell.
- 28:04He landed with his elbow on the floor.
- 28:08It's so funny.
- 28:11We find out that they're from a Korean syndicate, the Jinguyeon Mafia, and then all three of
- 28:16them leave to go meet Date at the bar.
- 28:19But before they do, perhaps my favorite line of the game is Kawara saying, I need to find
- 28:26a change of pants.
- 28:28First underwear and now pants?
- 28:29What is up with the scheme?
- 28:31And then he has the audacity to say, took you long enough when we get to the bar.
- 28:35We ran straight there.
- 28:36I don't know.
- 28:37You did not find pants in that time.
- 28:39They tell Date about the Jinguyeon Mafia.
- 28:42Apparently Kawara knows Korean and some history about this mafia.
- 28:48He says what they do care about is absolute loyalty.
- 28:51How does Kawara know Korean?
- 28:54It's a good question.
- 28:55He kind of brushes it off too.
- 28:58So after they get all caught up, Date says they may not be safe there as the bartender
- 29:02has been acting strange.
- 29:05And he found a picture of Kiryu and Sayama behind the bar.
- 29:09Kiryu stays behind to question the bartender.
- 29:12And while doing so, some goons bust in.
- 29:14And the bartender saying, please let us kill you.
- 29:19It's hilarious.
- 29:21I don't know what kind of response they're expecting to get when you ask someone, can
- 29:26I kill you?
- 29:27Please let us kill you.
- 29:28What do you want him to say?
- 29:30Right.
- 29:31It cracks me up.
- 29:32It's ridiculous.
- 29:33But of course, Kiryu beats them.
- 29:34And the bartender tells Kiryu a whole sob story.
- 29:37The bar's in debt after what happened last year.
- 29:41Kiryu's fault.
- 29:42Driven away customers.
- 29:44Someone came by offering to pay everything off.
- 29:46And that someone was from the Sengoku family, Pistachio.
- 29:51And they gave him the photos.
- 29:53I feel like Kiryu is the type of person who falls for the Nigerian prince scam every single
- 30:01time because he says this in Yomili.
- 30:06You take his word for what it is and then you forgive him.
- 30:11It's such a drawn out and unnecessary emotional moment.
- 30:15I don't give a crap about this bartender.
- 30:18Kiryu should have apologized for the ruckus he called that drove away customers last year.
- 30:25That's what should have happened.
- 30:26But no.
- 30:27Okay.
- 30:28So after this, Kiryu heads out to meet the others at Serena.
- 30:32And this is where we learn that Date is wanted for murder after the Amino building incident.
- 30:37Of course Date's into more hot water.
- 30:41Wouldn't be Date if he wasn't boiling.
- 30:43Well.
- 30:44Well, should we end it?
- 30:47I guess so.
- 30:49Right at one hour.
- 30:50Nice.
- 30:51Audacity on one.
- 30:52Three, two, one.
