Yakuza 6 OST - The Way of Life (In-Game Version)

Tsuneo "Little Baby" Iwami theme

[Hilversumborn]

You know the saying 'Don't poke the bear'

In Dutch we go further and say 'Don't poke the dragon'

[__bepis____bepis__]

One thing I wanna note here, the dynamic intro of this combines 2 very iconic signature moves of Kiryu’s. The mid-air clash is reminiscent of the very first dynamic intro in the series against Yoshitaka Mine. But notice Kiryu’s pose, that’s his Iconic high kick from the Yakuza 1 box art. Fitting for Kiryu’s final ever (playable as him) dynamic intro

[mikebliss]

The only final boss Kiryu never respected.

And with good reason.

[DomiKAV]

Everyone is like "Kiryu is doing his signature kick in the dynamic intro!"

Meanwhile I just thought he is legitimately out to kill little baby ass

[cheetoamon]

This is Kiryu theme in yakuza 6

And you can't change my mind

[mauriziomalet]

Ah yeah, little baby Iwami, the only final boss Kiryu wanted to kill, we are talking about Yakuza 6 Kiryu, the calmest Kiryu by far

[LaVitaNouva]

Gap between Ebina and Iwami is really wide.

Kiryu can only say sorry to Ebina for all the damage yakuza did to Ebina, while with Iwami, he was so damn ready to end his life.

[ChrisWrightReally]

I said this in another battle with Little Baby Iwami...
But this is such an endurance feat for Kiryu, man gets hammered with a pipe several times, and then knocked down, but gets back up... and shows Iwami just who he is. *The Dragon of Dojima* and this man messed with so many lives that Kiryu didn't care if he killed him. And I love that Kiryu is just ready to end him.

[archiose]

Maid Dragon, you're quickly becoming my number one for yakuza themes. Keep it up

[MikeJr]

Iwami: *threatens to kill Kiryu’s daughter and grandson*

Kiryu: And I took that personally.

[werevin]

YOu know, kinda weird for them to make Kiryu fight a baby as the final boss, i mean such a bold move making fight an infant. I respect it though.

[yelwg]

You're about to understand...just who you picked a fight with

[thatbloomer]

When Kiryu really took Ryuji's words to heart.

[cuteslytherin]

I can't believe Kiryu was going to kill a little baby there. How cruel of him😭

[olhaaliogenerico]

My headcanon, but:

Receive You is Kiryu's theme as an opponent, a rival, someone who will make you greater, it's a loss where you'll become better. He's a wise man, skillful and strong, a beacon of light of sorts.

The Way of Life is the theme when the Dragon of Dojima wants your head.

[Harmonica]

Imagine if the name drop was:

*Tsuneo Iwami*
_little baby_

[zoobatzjr]

I love the subtle storytelling in their appearance too. Iwami has muscle yes, but its 'show muscle'. Do you really think he's been in that many fight before this? He barely knows how to throw a punch and it reflects in the fight. He's piss easy to beat. But Kiryu despite being beaten with a lead pipe is still standing. And he actually has real muscle. Strength muscle. He's leaner, built for fighting. Iwami didn't stand a chance here, and he didn't deserve too anyways.

[Enanan-oeon]

Great!
This is my favorite OST from Yakuza 6, also Destiny from the battle against Someya.

[hayatojin]

i love how Kiryu had multiple fights before this, got beaten with a metal pipe and still wiped the floor with him, it really showed how outmatched he was to step up to the Dragon.

[Harmonica]

The Final Boss of the kiryu saga is the manager of some dock workers.
