Bloodstained Philosophy - Ryu Ga Gotoku 6/Yakuza 6 Extended

Yakuza, known in Japan as Ryū ga Gotoku (龍が如く, Like a Dragon), is an action-adventure beat 'em up video game franchise created, owned and published by Sega. The series originated from Toshihiro Nagoshi's desire to create a game that would tell the way of life of the yakuza. Nagoshi initially struggled to find a platform for the project, until Sony showed interest in the prospect.

The series primarily focuses on the yakuza Kazuma Kiryu from the Tojo Clan. While Kiryu often assists the Tojo Clan, the series has also featured him searching for another way of life in the form of raising orphans. The gameplay of Yakuza has the player controlling Kiryu (or another character depending on the title) in an open district where he can encounter an enemy or perform an activity in the city to obtain experience.

The franchise has become a commercial and critical success, and as of 2020, Sega has reported that the Yakuza franchise has sold a combined total of 12 million units in physical and digital sales since its debut in 2005. Strong sales of the games in its original Japanese market has led to the franchise's expansion to other media, including film adaptations.

There are also several spin-off titles. One, Kenzan!, relates Kazuma Kiryu's supposed ancestor, historic figure Miyamoto Musashi from the 16th and 17th centuries; another, Dead Souls, follows a zombie invasion of Kamurocho, the primary setting for the series; a PlayStation Portable spinoff series, Kurohyō, is about a teenage street fighter from Kamurocho that ends up in a fight where he kills a Tojo clan yakuza.

With the exception of the Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku titles, which were developed by Syn Sophia, all games were developed by Sega's CS1 R&D team, later renamed Ryū ga Gotoku Studio. ...

If I'm facing the legendary fourth chairman...
*I'll need to show proper respect. I won't hold anything back!*

[abirbharati]

This song literally shouts out the power struggle between kiryu and someya. This is perfect for their fights as they dont fight because they want to, they fight because they have to in order to settle their difference along with personal agendas, or when the situation wants them to.

[suzakuk.]

"How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, young man?" - Kiryu

[abdulazizmari]

I love how the violin and synth clash at the beginning, symbolizing the “Old Vs New” conflict!

[NiCoNiCoNiCola]

"Kiryu-san, I will act like a cocky bastard as a reference to Ryuji and Mine, but will be a strong willed man like Kuze and Daigo, but at the same time I will follow my dreams like Nishiki, Shibusawa and Aizawa"
"Wow, talk about lacking creativity"
"Kiryu-san, you are literally saving Tojo and your loved ones for the 7th time"

_Patriarch of the Someya Family, a Tojo Clan subsidiary_

[SubparO]

Someya was the best recurring boss since Kuze imo, much like Kiryu I grew to respect him as a fighter and a person in his last fight, and I fought him 'honorably' with bare minimum level healing items like Staminan X/XX's and Oden Soup, so I made every hit count. His fights were by far the best, so much more enjoyable than Iwami

[OverHeaven]

Someya, the yakuza who died like a true samouraï

[angelusvastator]

What a theatrical theme. Yakuza 6 is peak fiction.

[rallandtariv]

I recommend listening to this while playing Sifu, the amount of unintentional music syncs you’ll get is unreal

[ethanedwards]

Beware Someya's raging tackle when he enters heat mode. It'll do massive damage to Kiryu and cannot be blocked. It can be parried, however. To parry, you'll first need to unlock the skill in the upgrades menu, then block just before an attack hits. Kiryu will trip the enemy up and go around to their back if successful, giving an opportunity for a counterattack. Even knives can be parried, but bullets are obviously out of the question.

[Ctrekoz]

Holy shit how epic and badass, and that brrrrt drums at the background (like 1:07) are lit.

[AnggaTangerang]

This theme is fucking awesome.
Perfect for boss fight.

[jtothey]

Someya is a top tier Yakuza character.

[biz]

this truly is the yakuza 6: song of life

[Deemo]

*Kiryu when he has to fight Someya for the 2nd time*

“How many times do I have to teach you this lesson young man?!”

[KimonoFlareonGX]

Defeat Someya (Fight 1)
“Modern yakuza... Right."

Take Someya to school (Fight 2)
“He had it _all_ planned out.”

Someya’s aura colors: Red/Gold

[rasdan]

When millenials are taking over Tojo Clan

[supersonicmario]

There's something very "Tekken" about this theme.
Seems suitable for Jin Kazama . . . .

[desssswesssss]

I love this song so much because I miss Someya 💔💔💔
