What is Kiryu Kazuma's fursona? What is Majima's fursona? These are important questions about the Yakuza universe.
@kobold @fillertrack Majima has a lot of snake symbolism all over him tbh
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack shit I forgot about the snake thing.
... honestly I feel like Majima has like... six or seven sonas. and at least one is a shark, given that fuckin' grin he has.
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack "I forgot about the snake thing" he PHYSICALLY could barely be wearing more snakeskin
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack I'M SORRY OKAY all the times he pops up with a huge fuckin creepy ass grin from under a goddamn giant road cone or out of a manhole cover or wearing a bloody cop uniform I just
I forgot entirely about his outfit omg
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack swear to god I was at the point late game where I was like "If I hear ONE MORE "KIRYUU CHAN" I am going to MURDER HIM" and then you have your final fight and he just...
...disappears.
and it's THEN that his absense became a curse because then I was like "...Majima? Majima, dude? C... can we fight again? I ... I miss you, bud..."
@theoutrider @Nine @fillertrack this is weird
i can actually understand everything he says
he's written so simply, it's so him, i love it
@theoutrider @Nine @fillertrack i haven't studied in like, 4 years, btw
@kobold @Nine @fillertrack much like Miike's Ace Attorney film the Yakuza one is fuckin magnificent and I cannot recommend it enough
it is an adaptation of the first game though so probably spoilertastic
@theoutrider @Nine @fillertrack i will watch after we beat it!!! for usre
@kobold @Nine @fillertrack @bentosmile says a more interesting question is what is Saejima's sona
because tiger is too obvious honestly and I agree
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile Saejima appears in like... 4 or 5 right?
or is it 6?
I haven't played any of those yet but I'm totally thinking bear
Big fucker like him? Gotta be a bear. Tigers are ambush predators.
He is not an ambusher. He's a tank, charging not so much UP to you but THROUGH you.
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile he's in 4 and 5, not sure about 6
@kobold @Nine @fillertrack @bentosmile like from the physical impression I want to say "bear" but 5 demonstrates that bears fuckin hate him
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile okay I haven't played anything but 0 and 1 Kiwami so I'm getting 2 Kiwami when it comes out for definite, and I'm gonna play the hell outta it. I can't play the others at all until I've played the previous ones ^^; mercifully it looks like they're remastering I think 3 and 4 as well maybe? either way I'm sure there'll be a way to play them too.
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile I think the plan is for 3, 4 and 5 just getting relatively straight ports rather than remakes
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile I can entirely live with a port of 4 and 5 to PC and/or ps4 because I want to play the entire series.
@kobold @Nine @fillertrack @bentosmile although I guess if anything would get into a barehanded fight with a bear is another bear
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile this was literally my thinking but I got distracted by talking about remakes
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile which is a shame because bear handed battles is a far more important topic
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile raises that Kiryu has filled the orphanage with dog plushies and looks at a photo of a dog if you sing Bakamitai in karaoke
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile similarly I was thinking some kind of large "fighting" dog breed for Saejima maybe?
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile oh hold up Saijima's sona is a Tosa maybe?
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile yeah that was maybe my thought
@theoutrider @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile ...oh shit
What if... Kiryuu's sona is an Akita?????? The literal japanese dog embodiment of loyalty
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack @bentosmile similarly Saejima is fiercely loyal to people he considers his friends or sworn brothers hence my thought of dog there
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack the Yakuza games are all about weird male bonding rituals
5 has a thing where Saejima has a vicious fight with a prison cellmate who's betrayed him and gets angry that Saejima just forgives him and afterwards they sit on the street and have cigarettes together and could you BE any more shippable
@Nine @kobold @fillertrack also your regular reminder that the guy Takashi Miike cast as Majima for his Yakuza film is *perfect*
right down to the part where the actor's actual name is Goro
