Isaac MurilloFirst, I want to start off by saying thank you all for supporting the channel. It has officially reached 1000 subscribers, and it's all thanks to you guys. I never thought I would make it this far, but I genuinely am thankful that you enjoy the content I make.
Also, sorry if uploads have been kind of all over the place. There have been some personal life things as well as work and school that have made it difficult to upload as often. I hope you understand, and thanks for being patient with me.
This was intended to be a Halloween special, but unfortunately, the video didn't render properly for some reason, so I pretty much had to edit almost all of the video again and render it for a second time. So it's a bit late. But anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video. See you all in the next upload and take care.

Oh, and by the way, I know Hannya Man is Majima. I didn't think I would throw that many people off lol.

Now that many new entries have been released since my initial video's upload, and with the few that I missed in my original upload. There were enough new entries to warrant a new video on the topic. Along with my experience of making commentary videos over the past couple of years, I could confidently remake the video.
Also, I hope that things improve with the series as time goes on, it's just unfortunate that most of what's happening, specifically with Kiwami 3, a game that almost everyone has been waiting years for, turned out the way it did. But I guess time will tell. Thanks for watching and take care.
Yakuza Crossover Wiki: fictionalcrossover.fandom.com/wiki/YakuzaLooking at Nagoshis Gang Of Dragon Game and Other Important NewsIsaac Murillo2025-12-15 | Nagoshi Studio finally revealed its game at the recent Game Awards, titled Gang of Dragon. Here, we get to see footage of various cutscenes from the game with no gameplay currently present. More information can be seen on the Steam page, where it can now be wishlisted. Let's hope to see more information on the game soon. I also wanted to discuss the important topics that are going on within the community as of late, with my opinion on the matter. I know I'm late to this but I feel it was better to mention it, than never at all, especially with the recent de-listing of the games.
Despite these practices, I still intend on purchasing the game. But I hope as time moves forward, SEGA and RGG Studios makes better decisions and picks their actors more carefully in any future releases.

But the person I am going to cover today I'm sure has left many people and likely you confused, as they were introduced and even as they departed. Given what little information on this character exists, I will try attempt breakdown and understand who, or what, Mirror Face is.
Resident Evil 5 - LibrarySmall Talk: A look at Yakuza 0 Directors CutIsaac Murillo2025-04-03 | Nintendo's newest direct showcased several new games and existing games that make their debut on the Switch 2. And one of these was a special version of Yakuza 0, titled, Yakuza 0 Director's Cut. In it we see that it is not just some simple port, but rather, it now contains new content like additional cutscenes and a new mode called Red Light Raid. A mode where you take on unique missions with other people online by your side. A few more things are added as well, but there may be more details to come as we reach the release date of this game.

Yakuza 0 - Red Radical RageYakuza Characters That Survived The ImpossibleIsaac Murillo2025-02-17 | Many characters in media have shown capabilities in surviving some of the most abused scenarios. This includes Yakuza protagonists, with many of them having near death experiences in different games. I want to look at the parts in detail and break it down to understand why they survived these scenarios, using different tools and prior knowledge that I have.
NOTE: * I accidentally said and wrote 184 cm instead of 182 cm during the explosion calculation however the value calculated is correct, just accidentally wrote it in wrong.
*There will also be another part for any future characters or characters that I haven't covered yet.
vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Explosion_Yield_CalculationsYakuza Mysteries: Case File #1 - HangmanIsaac Murillo2024-10-31 | With the many characters we have met in this series, there are many of them that are memorable for a variety of reasons. Maybe a great boss battle, the inspiration they gave you, or some quote said by the character that you may carry with you for the rest of your life. Regardless of what it may be, these characters, both new and old, really resonated with fans of the series. But what about the side characters, specifically those who are shrouded in mystery, with little to no information given of who they are as a character. Hangman is one of the characters, and we'll be going over who he may be and why he is very hostile to our protagonists, along with others that he may have also been affiliated with.
I noticed I mistakenly said and wrote the incorrect number of allies for Kiwami 1. It should be 11 allies in total for the game, adding in the other additional Kazama Family members, which is 6, to the 5 already listed. Just wanted to correct that real quick. Also, I know that the word "Defeated" is misspelled in multiple summary segments of different games. I was using the same template for many of them and didn't realize until way after when the video was already being published. (please don't make fun of me)
There are characters that I missed for Yakuza 4 and likely some from other games. Here's a list of character that are confirmed to be missing:
- (Yakuza 3) Akimoto from a climax battle - (Yakuza 4) Tanimura from A Doctor's Pleadge substory - (Yakuza 4) Nair from a series of substories - (Yakuza 4) Akiyama from a climax battle - (Yakuza 4) Sugiyama, Ehama, Ochiai, Tokita, and, and Watanabe from the Yakuza 4 coliseum - (Yakuza 0) Media King during the Business minigame substory
Based on what I have seen with the allies aggressiveness and that you can perform heat actions at least with Saejima, the rank for Yakuza 4 will be bumped up a little so the game now stands at a 4/10 and ends with a total of 10 allies.
There are likely more that I missed on accident, I tried the best I could to get all the allies from the games, but I was bound to miss one, while the number of allies don't contribute to the ranking of the games, I do want to apologize for missing some.
_________________________________________________ Every Yakuza game has allies in one form or another. There are many allies you meet in the games, many of which have become staple characters that will always fight by your side. So that begs the question. With there being so many characters in the games and the many unique engines made for the games, how good are the allies in every Yakuza game. I went through every single game, from the very first to ever release, Yakuza 1, to the last game so far, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This includes all of the spin-off games released for the series.
A few of these games are ones I haven't played yet, so it was going to take a while, especially for those that aren't translated fully, primarily Kenzan. Regardless, it was fun getting to play those I never got the chance to before. With this though, I do want to apologize for how long it took for this video to release, besides playing every game, there were many personal things I was being caught up in, which only further delayed the videos release. But I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I wanted to try something different with this video as well, so let me know what you guys think. Anyway, take care, and I'll see you guys later. :)

But recently RGG Studios announced that there will a new and modern take on original Yakuza 1 through the form of a show. Let's take a look at what we know so far for what could be an interesting take on the first yakuza game.

This made me think about the importance of a Kiwami 3 and if we really need one. But even if the game was perfect, it doesn't hurt to have a remake for 3 that could add more to the story and gameplay.

And with each entry brings forth new characters that we can love or hate. Many characters may come and go, with some leaving a big impact on the characters in the game and each getting graceful send offs. However some may just up and disappear without saying a word. Let's look at each character that left without saying a single goodbye to anyone.

And with Gaiden and Infinite releasing from then, I thought it would be a great time to work on another one of these. Although most of these come from Infinite Wealth as there aren't too many new heat actions in Gaiden. It was great to make one of these videos again and with that I'll see ya guys later. Take care :)Infinite Wealths English Karaoke...Isaac Murillo2024-02-16 | Karaoke is always a fun minigame to play whenever you feel like getting away from the main story for a bit. And while all the songs are enjoyable to listen to, the English dub unfortunately uses a lot of autotune, a lot of which is bad. It's something that has been bothering me since I do like the English voice actors karaoke, and not being able to listen to music without the autotune is honestly a shame. Hopefully they do not do this for future releases.(No Story Spoilers) The Improvements from 7 to Infinite WealthIsaac Murillo2024-02-10 | With Ichiban's second mainline release there have many changes and updates to the gameplay and content within the game. We'll be looking at the improvements made between both releases and see how infinite wealth evolved from Yakuza 7.

However with RGG coming back to show off the great games they put out, they also brought something that should have not have been dredged back up. That is, New Game+ being considered DLC for the upcoming game Infinite Wealth. I encourage you guys to inform people about this and share your take to help prevent this from happening in future releases. Because the last thing we want is for RGG Studios to consider other things that are usually in the standard releases as DLC.

Several of these are returning minigames such as the cabaret club, karaoke, arcade classics and many more. But of all of these, the coliseum really took my attention with the side content that will be available to play. Let's take a deeper look at what we could expect from this minigame.A History of Yakuzas Collaborations, Crossovers, and ReferencesIsaac Murillo2023-08-17 | [UPDATE]
Here is an update to the video. There were some that I missed when covering the topic of this video.
Persona 5:
In persona 5 there is a reference to Yakuza Like A Dragon where Makoto will say "So Dragon Like A Yakuza is finally out" as well as the game having characters that can wear outfits of Yakuza characters. Yakuza Like A Dragon did the same where music from Persona can be listened to in Survive bar such as "Life Will Change"
Thanks to the people for letting me know and tell me if there are any more I missed.
This is my first video with this type of style and format, so please don't hat me if it's bad. I have been wanting to cover a topic like this for a while now. I have always found interest in games that are crossovers, have collaborations, or contain a reference to another title. I especially find interest in it, if it is a franchise or series that I am fond of. So today I wanted to look at the many different crossovers, collaborations and references the series has been involved either with them featuring a game or them being featured in another form of media.
I also want to thank every single one of you for the support the channel has been given, we are now at 632 subscribers, something I never expected to hit so soon. I genuinely appreciate every one of you! I hope you look forward to more videos like this, I'd love to do more as well, and if you have anything you want me to cover let me know. Take Care.

(Although Pride from Despair does kind of fit now that I think about it, the feel of the music I mean) I wanted to do more but there are some where the music is to long or vice versa. However if I think of more then I will definitely do a part two. Anyway thanks for watching.

Hands - Yakuza 6 - (ZENTA)More Heat Actions That Would Genuinely Kill PeopleIsaac Murillo2023-06-24 | 200+ subs already, I can't thank you guys enough, I'm glad there are people who enjoying my content.
So here's the second part with more heat actions that would (probably) kill any person in real life. I also included more spin offs in this video and I know I missed a lot more with games like Ishin but there are just so many that the video would be way too long. Once again, these aren't 100% accurate, some of these are just guesses based on what the protagonists can pull off in the main story.
And once again thanks for 200+ subs guys, you're all awesome!

That genuinely means so much. I never thought I'd reach this amount within only a few months, but thanks to you guys, I did.
For this video, there's always the idea that heat/ex actions look deadly to the point where they would kill any person, despite the enemies not being affected afterward. Any one of these moves is something that would kill any ordinary person. Some within the video may be questionable, but given the dramatic effect, I would say it qualifies. But in all honesty, if you were to be hit by these moves, then you'd probably die. I most likely am going to make a part two to this video. There were so many more heat actions that I thought of after publishing the video. There's also some I wasn't able to capture footage of because I don't have the game (such as Kurohyou).
(Note: Many of these "Causes Of Death" are most likely not 100% accurate, just thought it would be a fun thing to add, also a there is a few typos throughout the video and improper use of grammar because I'm a bit stupid, and because it was one of my bigger videos that i made, please don't make fun of me lol)
Again, thanks so much, I hope you look forward to more videos to come
