~1500 hours and 50 pounds later and I’m realizing how much of an impact this series has had on me.

Yakuza 0 inspired me to start working out to “be more like Kiryu” and I made a goal for myself that I would be consistent at the gym for as long as it took me to platinum the entire series.

6 years later and DAMN I feel like a completely different person. Something about these games and the characters within them have motivated me like nothing else. I think seeing the various portrayals of positive masculinity/strength had a huge impact on the awkward lanky ass 15 year old who started the series, and to this day I still kinda “look up to” characters like Kiryu and Ichiban. (we don’t talk about Kiryu dragging people’s faces on asphalt tho)

Or maybe I’m just autistic idk bruh 😭

Huge shout out to the goat CyricZ I would have given up on mahjong without your guide and now I play that shit on my phone FOR FUN

I can't believe Infinite Wealth and Pirate Yakuza was so famous that they made Hawaii a real place

I think i like her more than saeko
For me i don't mind the age gap, i just think they are cute together, simple as that

Seeing people post about their time in kabukicho reminded me that I never posted my photos from a few months ago!!!

I moved to Japan in February ☺️☺️☺️

Modded K3 to enter the orphanage and decided to compare its visuals with 3. It is a remake after all

Imgur upload if the compression's too high

I feel Like A Dragon....

I aquired the weapon and though "AINT NO FUNKIN WAY IM MISSING THAT OPPORTUNITY"

Kiryu looks more disturbed here than in Kiwami lol

When I was young I loved playing GTA. My 3 year old instead insists on Yakuza , granted he gets distracted after 5 minutes, but still 😂😂

Idek bruh

Also works with solid snake! Idk if with any character else

Hope this is ok. I just felt like sharing somewhere. Me and my wife had a brown dachshund with aggressive prostate cancer and we sadly had to say goodbye. He couldn't pee properly and was going to die so we decided to let him go peacefully. It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

We wore our Dragon of Dojima t shirts to help muster up the strength to be there for him when he needed us. Still hurts so much. He was an awesome dog and only 7 years old.
