far be it for me to come for anyone’s ship, but my god why are the yakuza 5 tags focused on shinada and daigo and not shinada and takasugi? that relationship is way more supported in the text of the game and they’re grounded in shinada’s adult life and choices instead of his high school ones

i can't remember if i sent you any questions in earlier or not but i meant to so, if didn't could you answer: A3, A8, B5, C6, D8, E1, F10 pleaaase. if i did, please disregard and hi! hahaha
Oh hiya! I haven’t seen the earlier question, I hope that doesn’t mean tumblr ate the ask
A3: Favorite protagonist(s)?
This is a difficult question, but I would have to go with Kiryu and Shinada. I just enjoy how they are personality wise. Kiryu is just a selfless and kind person who do what it takes to make sure his loved ones are safe and happy, even if it may not be the best outcome. Honestly it’s just intimidating guy + heart of gold + children he would do anything to protect = my type of favorite character where I tear up when he’s tender with children
Now as for Shinada, I just find him endearing and tragic. In the very first scene he appears, he’s such a mess and quite charming in how he is. Then there is the tragedy in that as a former baseball player, very much a civilian, he would likely be no where in proxmity to any yakuza, but he’s embroiled at the center of something bigger then himself and he’s the one who had to pay for it even if he genuinely had no idea what was happening and was just doing his thing. He then has to spend all those years struggling by and it’s seen then in the scene with Milky-Chan on the rooftop on how he wishes to escape to a new life and his earnestness is bittersweet to see in that scene. The sadness in his expression at being grounded right back into reality upon Milky-chan answering her phone shows how much he believed in running away to start a new life. He’s such an earnest and fun character with a tragic story to him.
A8: Favorite song(s)?
24 hour Cinderella (taps name), tonight, as long as you’re happy, pride from despair, machine gun kiss, and all of Haruka’s songs in Y5. It’s honestly quite difficult to choose just a few. If I had to only pick one from these it would be pride from despair if only for the fact it’s a Kiryu-Majima duet and honestly? The melody rocks so much as well as the lyrics which honestly sounds tragic given that it’s becoming stronger through painful events? That’s just if I were to try ranking these songs, though overall I still would put these songs together as my favorites altogether.
Also for songs that aren’t karaoke, I would go for Let’s produce a no. 1 hostess (y3), nervousness (y4), as you like (y0), all the disco songs from y0, all the songs from Haruka’s dance battles (y5), receive you the madtype (yk1), Takumi 2016 (yk1), and in a dead heat (yk1).
I clearly can’t quite pick a few songs, it’s liking choosing a favorite child…
B5: Which character do you think you would bump heads with most if you knew them in real life?
I’ll be honest. Probably Kiryu lmao. He’s well meaning for sure and he’s got good intentions. But. The. Number. Of. Times. I wanted to shake this man for being way too kind to antagonists. Stop turning away from them Kiryu! At least take the gun away…
There are other moments where I have the urge to kick him for sure though I probably wouldn’t be able to do anything but provide a soft kick he would not even feel at all.
C6: If you could revive any deceased character, who would it be and why?
Nishiki Nishiki Nishiki. I miss him. Going into Yakuza 0 blind, I was thinking to myself on how excited I was to see how Nishiki progressed through the games. Then Yakuza 1 rolls around. I just imagine how it would have been like if he stuck around and yes he did a lot in yakuza Kiwami 1, I just sometimes wish he lived and maybe just went to prison and over the games he and Kiryu slowly mend their relationship in some way. Though that’s just me. A ton of characters died in YK1 yet Nishiki impacted me the most given how dedicated he was to helping Kiryu in Yakuza 0 and it did not help that in my time playing YK1, a friend brought back lines from Yakuza 0 that foreshadowed how he’ll be in YK1. Just Nishiki. I miss him :(
D8: Which character had the absolute worst moveset?
Haha. So Shinada is one of my favorite protagonists. I did mention that earlier right. Well I love him but god his moveset is my least favorite out of all protagonists. That action where he attacks opponents in a way akin to him swinging a baseball? It’s a cool detail but it bugs me. Aiming a hit at an opponent felt difficult. And I found it difficult to control the direction of his meteor tackle. He was just not easy to control. If it weren’t for the fact that I needed money in his part, I would have put more effort into avoiding fights.
E1: Explore: Kamurocho or Sotenbori?
Kamurocho all the way. Going through all the games, it provides this feeling of nostalgia seeing how it changes over time, even if admittedly I only started playing the series back in May. I just have a soft spot for Kamurocho especially for the events that happened there and places such as the Millennium Tower. Then just the characters that are consistently there such as Date, the stardust hosts Yuya and Kazuki, Ako from Earth Angel, they all make the place lively and enjoyable to go back to in each game to see what they’re all up to.
F10: Who would be your kyodai?
Honestly I don’t know? I did try thinking this through but I can’t quite come up with any character who I would want to be my kyodai. Probably would suck too since I would bite the dust relatively fast so no clear answer on this one
