Ryu Ga Gotoku 7 (Yakuza: Like a Dragon) Fanmade Intro

Phew, here it is! I could barely hold off on uploading it til the next day or something, so here I am just uploading it for all of us to enjoy! Time would just keep running while I was working on this. I took a couple of pointers from the official music video that I felt like are really fitting. It's a big shame they dropped these intros starting with Yakuza 6, but if I had to guess as to why, I'd say it MIGHT be because they had scenes that some would deem spoilers. Regardless though, let me know how you like what I came up with :)

"Local man tries to get job back"

10 out of 10 just for including the bread scene

[TaigaXsenpai]

love how Yakuza 7 is like a mixture of anime setting (spiky hair hero, gathers friends in order to save the world) he rises his magical abbilities, learn his friends backstories etc. All with superb magical battles!
Except all of this is set in world of politics, struggling with economic crisis, people searching for comfort in joining manipulative groups, politicians pulling uncomfortable laws,
Two settings that normally shouldn't work together, worked perfectly xD

[Flambingo]

Y'know when Ichiban's name is dropped in the song?

I FEEL that.

[xinorbb.b]

The scene in which Ichiban is enjoying the fireworks is painful to watch. He looks so content and happy with life and his place in it. Just a few hours before everything changes!

I LOVE this song, the game and especially Ichiban as the new protagonist. A worthy successor to the Yakuza series - as well as Kiryu's - legacy.

[musa]

I love Ichiban as the new protagonist and I haven’t even played the game yet.

[carlosnieve]

I get your point about spoilers, but these intros help draw you into the story.

The short arc in this intro has me sold on Ichiban as the protagonist. I’m excited to play 7 now.

[gumbiman]

If Sega's concern about the intros was to avoid showing spoilers then they could have just made anime-like intros that show stuff that doesn't even happen in the game. Legit wouldn't even be out of place

[Adenybaloi]

I finished the game yesterday and this video is hitting me hard

[Someone_Else]

The cinematic intros are a big part of Yakuza, it's a shame they had to remove them, possibly from the reasons you described (which are bs imo). Well, at least we have the closest thing to one for this game, thanks to you ☺️

[tenshihinanawi]

This is the most anime-like opening (albeit fan-made) for a game that isn't even an anime.






I will still consider this an anime in my heart.

[billjoe]

Ah yes good to see you added the legendary bread animation.

[xmixraven]

The intros were always the hypest. I love these fanmade ones, it just feels wrong to boot up a game without one.

[satoshimaebara]

This wouldn't be a devilleon7 video if everything wasn't unintentionally synced.

[lukelukeplier]

I love how there are no actual spoilers only snippets of certain characters. Like the characters hand at 1:23

[mrdevilGaming]

If it wasn’t fan made I would think it is real it is so good

[lavans]

I love when Ichiban is in sync with the "HA"

[mechashadow]

As the Music sync dude you are, I do like how they hit here.
And as for that excuse, you did some good cutaways from the spoilers.
And they could have put the characters in a unique scene for the opening like Judgement, y'know.
Make it like a Dragon Quest no?

[bushidotestu]

People talking about that he had the bread scene in this where I’m glad he added the scene of namba and adachi vaulting ichi atop the campaign van like how shonan no kaze did in the actual music video

[ghostspartan]

Nice touch adding the menu at the end. Almost makes it seem real lol
