Like a Dragon fans clash over Kiryu's ultimate enemy

Jan 31, 2024 4:40 PM

In the recent discussions surrounding "Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth," the debate among fans about Kazuma Kiryu's most formidable opponent has been reignited. A specific recollection by Kiryu in the game, recalling his battle with Ryuji Goda from "Yakuza 2," has fans speculating whether Goda is the toughest enemy Kiryu has faced. This debate is fueled by Kiryu's comment on Goda's strength and is part of ongoing discussions in the fan community. While some believe this settles the argument, the phrasing of Kiryu's statement leaves room for interpretation. Fans are considering other notable adversaries such as Yoshitaka Mine from "Yakuza 3," Masato Aizawa from "Yakuza 5," and allies-turned-opponents like Taiga Saejima and Goro Majima when debating the most challenging fight. Regardless of the consensus, this nod towards Goda is a notable moment in the game, prompting even more meticulous analysis of the "Yakuza" series' characters and their combat prowess.

Who was Kazuma Kiryu's toughest enemy in the Yakuza series?

According to recent discussions, many fans of the "Yakuza" series argue that Ryuji Goda is Kazuma Kiryu's toughest enemy, especially following a moment in "Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth" where Kiryu acknowledges Goda's strength. However, the debate continues as the legacy of Kiryu's battles includes many formidable foes.

"Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth" is the latest entry in the "Yakuza" series, a popular action-adventure RPG known for its deep storytelling, quirky side missions, and intense brawler-based combat. The series is celebrated for its detailed world-building, particularly the in-game recreation of areas like Tokyo's Kabukicho, renamed Kamurocho for the game. It has garnered an international fanbase for its cinematic storytelling, complex characters, and authentic depictions of Japanese culture and society interwoven with its compelling gameplay.
