#like sure kiryu dumping the tojo on daigo was A Thing He Did but .. the family thing is so much more of a thing than that innit

[todayisafridaynight]

IW spoilers but I think it'd have been sick, especially w Ebina vs Kiryu being the end fight, if Ebina was from Sunflower; man can have pretty much the same backstory and cope and seethe abt the yakuza all he likes and NOT JUST BE ANOTHER AOKI SURPRISE BONUS ARAKAWA FAMILY DRAMA

I know this would take away from Ichi focus again but it aint as if the narrative hasn't already done that by making him deal w old wrinklyass munakata 2 cult boogaloo as his story and not letting him sit with family time

i desperately need kiryu to think for more than 2 minutes about Kazama being not perfect

NO BUT LITERALLY IF EBINA HAD TO HAVE CONNECTIONS TO A YAKUZA TO HATE THEM ALL THEN SUNFLOWER WOLUD'VE BEEN PERFECT

esp with the substory in gaiden it feels like the franchise keeps edging us into having kiryu fully accept kazama wasnt perfect and seeing how he affected Everyone Else That Wasn't Him. like GREAT for you kiryu that it worked out, everyone else tho !!!! uh !!!!!!! 👁️‍🗨️👁️‍🗨️

like he gets that realization in small doses but ebina couldve been a great bigger example of that ...

#iw spoilers #spoilers #snap chats #like literally swap out arakawa for kazama and you'd get the exact same thing but better #ebina couldn't kill kazama because he was killed by someone else. Sad !!!!!!! #kazama didnt bother with ebina like he did with kiryu and nishiki. Tragic !!!!!!! #LIKE COME ON 🗣️🗣️🗣️ #but god the game does take away from ichi as soon as akane's resolved .... #like i get THAT was his whole point of going to hawaii but ... its clear family is still a theme in this game #what with eiji being a masato parallel and ebina being A Masato Parallel #its so strange to just sideline him when ebina is still out there and choosing to have kiryu resolve that #like sure kiryu dumping the tojo on daigo was A Thing He Did but .. the family thing is so much more of a thing than that innit #Especially In This Game jesus christ #ugh the fucking. attempt to connect ebina to arakawa is forever the dumbest shit ever #i mean A Third Baby Has Hit The Coin Lockers accidentally came true in a sense but in the dumbest way possible #IN A WAY THAT DIDNT MATTERED AND WE WERE TOLD BOUT IT IN THE STUPIDEST WAY TOO #daigo much love but 1.) why do you know this 2.) why are you telling kiryu this 3.) WHY IS IT IN AN IN-GAME CUTSCENE #the in-game cutscenes def improved since y7 BUT YOU CAN'T JUST REWATCH THIS SCENE #IF YOU'RE WATCHING RENDERED STUFF ONLY YOU WILL MISS THIS AND BE SO COFUSED #not that it really fucking mattered but UGH //eats dry wall// #y8 you coulda done s much more ..........
