Join us with a new character trying to pick apart the plot and playing too much Mah Jong.
It's time to find out the truth of what happened 25 years ago. But first, gotta spend 5 hours training fighters with extended rock montages.
On this episode: Kamurocho Underground featuring woodblock carving as Saejima inches forward.
Double chapter episode, with bonus flashback. Join us as we break out and then relax on the beach.
Yakuza 4 continues, and we end our time with Akiyama for the time being. We finally figure out what's going on just in time for it to get way more complicated.
Back from holidays with a pile of yen and fingertips, it's Ryu Ga GoTalk. Join us as we continue down Yakuza 4. Short one this week, but we'll be back to full heat power next episode.
We get to know Akiyama a little better in the second chapter of Yakuza 4.
Notes:
The Riki Takeuchi Loan Shark Program mentioned is the legendary "Minami no Teiō" (King of Minami)
Yakuza 4 part 1.
We're back and with a new game and new character as we meet Akiyama, things become a real mess real fast.
Notes:
In this episode something a bit different. The Yakuza series is famous for it's use of celebrity performances, but sometimes things don't work out so well. We go through some of the scandals and controversies that have affected the series' actors, and the nightmare that is Japan's Entertainment Agencies.
We're back and have crawled our way out of the hostess mines to finally put the lid on Yakuza 3. Final judgements and detailed analysis of how bad bowling is are within.
Finally we are at the end of Yakuza 3's story. Join us as we talk through the events of the final chapter and consider the game as a whole.
Join Akeyo and Felix for one of the best chapters yet. With tragedy, excellent villains and Goku level speed converting enemies-to-friends.
Join Akeyo and Felix as we get closer to the end of Yakuza 3, but first some filler episode chapter! Woo.
You know things are insane when Majima turning up in a bright pink truck is the most grounded event in a chapter. Join us as we try to understand what the hell is going on.
Another 2 chapter episode. This time 7 & 8. Felix thinks he's figured out Yakuza 3's combat and is immediately rebuked by the game.
Another double chapter episode. Majima Suits, Rikiya Tattoos and fighting a half nude fat guy in a love hotel.
Eventually a Yakuza game will start, but for now some more inoffensive afternoon family sitcom action with "KIryu Orphanage" right after Family Ties.
It's a double header! Man, this hostess minigame IS confusing, ironic.
Onto Yakuza 3. No parts of this podcast removed to appeal to western audiences.
Join Felix and Akeyo for a whirlwind recap of the 3 Majima Chapters in KIwami 2. No xp, no levelling, no substories but man, what a karaoke song.
