gaiden chapter 5 is making me scream

i have always liked the rgg games as an exploration of grey zones. these recent games, 7 and gaiden are such a good example of it. like the yakuza have unequivocally caused so much harm so dissolution isnt exactly a tragedy (we see that through nishitani iii, tsuruno's talk about how dissolving the yakuza can limit vile men like him is AMAZING) but they always make sure to remind us that there will always be people living in the gaps, people who will suffer that nobody ever thinks about. you'll never ever get the perfect world

i think the tojo/omi dissolution is a hugely important and needed part of the story but i love how theyre not painting it as ooh hero does good thing but as a highly complicated process which'll have soo many ramifications on the longterm plot. its so fascinating and im so excited to see its exploration in infinite wealth

and i hope we get to see watase and daigo's attempts to reintegrate former yakuza and rebuild their lives

Sometimes I wonder how intentional the neurodivergent coding of certain Yakuza characters is.

With Kiryu I don't think it was intentional at first. I think he started as a stone-faced guy who was also just a little clueless (Because that's a pretty silly juxtaposition, writing-wise), but I've noticed as the series progresses there's little quirks or jokes that seem to intentionally code him as autistic-- and not in a mean way (which I love).

Like. When you're talking to one of the hostesses in the cabaret minigame in K2, she mentions wanting to be a mangaka, and Kiryu offers to help.

If you select the 'be an expression model' option Kiryu 'auditions' by making little noises for the different emotions he's trying to do and it's really obvious that he's not really changing his face much. Because he's just not an expressive guy. Because he's autistic!!!

There's the pizza substory from 0 which if you know, you know (and if you don't know, here you go).

If you select all the wrong answers in the producer substory (also in 0), the entire scene feels like an autistic person trying to understand obtuse industry lingo and everyone else getting angry at him for not speaking this hidden language (a reality for many autistic people).

And there's countless other examples that I can't name off the top of my head, but trust me, they're there.

And then there's Ichiban who is so ADHD it brings me joy. And I would just chalk his behaviors to just being a juxtaposition to Kiryu (Ichi's big, loud, and intense while Kiryu's quiet, reserved, and keeps to himself), but there are so many little things that are way too specific for me to ignore.

Firstly, when Ichi wants something he wants it NOW. The Peking Duck scene with Arakawa comes to mind, but also, when he's trying to get Masato’s 'girlfriend' to come to their table, and he resorts to like. Shouting at the guy after her client's like. "Nah. I'm talking to her for a bit." He's feelin' his feelings and good god are those feelings intense.

He seems to struggle with working memory issues such as the scene where he's talking about being Masato's caretaker and then Jo calls him like, immediately after, goes 'hey, you were supposed to take the young master out tonight' and Ichi's like 'oh my god? It completely slipped my mind!'

Ichiban's super creative and clever, but that out-of-the-box thinking is occasionally hampered by him missing little details. Like when he just takes a civilian's wallet, instead of the money they owed because 'Jo only said to bring back the wallet'. But then when he tries to use the money Masato gave him, it doesn't occur to him to take off the band indicating that the money came from Masato’s bank.

He's also pretty impulsive!! The scene where he jumps right into the Korean Mafia's line of fire is a big standout. He literally thought of the first thing that came to mind and did it.

There's also him gameifying his entire life. This example could be argued to be more of an autistic trait (especially the turn-based combat aspect), but ADHDers can also have those super intense interests that you never quite let go of. And gamification of certain tasks is often recommended for ADHDers.

and then there's so many small things that I can't quite explain that just stand out as ADHD behavior.

I honestly don't think Ichiban was ever written to be neurotypical. His character just feels so, authentically ADHD in such a kind way that just can't be accidental.

Although there could've been a writer who was just 'basing Ichiban off their own experiences' and 'their own experiences' just happened to be ADHD. I wouldn't know anything about that.

One more character before I go: Majima's actions in 0 (specifically throwing away the bag of murder goodies Lee gave him) makes way more sense if he has ADHD. He's got this bag of shit he does not want and he needs to get rid of it now. He was feelin' his feelings, okay?!

It’s actually a crime that dubbed Ichiban didn’t yell “BRING THAT SHIT, KAZUMA!” During the Kiryu boss fight in Yakuza 7, since his Japanese voice actors also voices Nishiki.

Every time someone brought up the dissolution of the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance in Lost Judgment and how it messed up the underworld power structure, my bf would reproachfully say:

Daigo!!? 😠

#lost judgment #yakuza like a dragon spoilers #rgg #i would go even further and blame it all on kiryu lmao #who didnt wanna lead the clan so he just put up daigo to do it #mystuff #trixi plays judgment #boyfriend chronicles #judge eyes #lost judgment spoilers

Ya know probably should swap either Eri or Saeka out because Kiryu's giant bottle of Respect Women Juice means Kasuga keeps getting his ass beat

#only issue is sae is my healer and Eri is the biggest source i have against Kiryu because that gun matriarch skill is busted #lemon plays #yakuza #yakuza like a dragon #yakuza like a dragon spoilers

Just started playing Yakuza 7 and oh my god? I love Ichiban so fucking much??

I haven't finished chapter 1 yet. My game started crashing after Masato realized that the hostess wasn't dating him because she liked him, but because he was giving her money and I guess my computer just couldn't handle that level of second hand embarrassment.

Like. We walked into a hostess club and I was like "Masato. Babe. I hope to god your girlfriend just happens to be a hostess and not that you started dating your hostess."

I kinda wanna get back to the game tho so I wish my computer would stop being embarrassed.

Find it funny that in Yakuza 7 the party is literally fighting for their lives against the Kiryu boss fight. But for Kiryu, this is literally just a substory.
