![Shenmue - VS Final Boss Chai at the harbor [No Damage X5/Savage Edition]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yhYrA3VSGC4/hqdefault.jpg "Shenmue - VS Final Boss Chai at the harbor [No Damage X5/Savage Edition]
A collection of 6 fights, of which 5 are no damage runs, against the final boss of Shenmue. I’m of course talking about Lan Di’s favorite henchman, the great Gollu- I mean, the great Chai!
Aside from the arena itself, this fight doesnt really differ too much from the one at You Arcade. In fact, Chai retains the same health, moves, stats, and behavior, but no longer has high throw evasion, which by itself makes the fight a lot easier. Even with that, he’s still a very dangerous opponent, especially for casual players who have struggled with the combat up to the end of the game.
Compared to the narrow and awkward arcade of the first fight, the harbor is the total opposite, being large and easy to navigate through. As a result, fighting and dodging feels a lot smoother here, while juggle comboing is a little more situational. Overall, the arena is most definitely an improvement.
As for Chai himself, he is as tough and vicious as you remember him to be. Most of his moves are difficult to predict if you don’t know him too well, so dodging and blocking can be a true pain. His hitboxes are also very weird, in that there are times where you just can’t avoid taking damage because blocking won’t work, times when you get hurt even though his move didn’t seem to connect, and times when your move should hit him, and it doesn’t for no apparent reason.
Among all the moves he can use, his throw and grab actions are definitely the most dangerous ones - they’re fast, almost impossible to predict, and just as impossible to dodge.
His jump throw move can’t be dodged at all, so if you’re in range (and properly aligned), he will 100% get you, even if you press the dodge/escape button. You can however interrupt it with a fast move of your own (Trample Kick usually does the job) or avoid it by simply keeping your distance from Chai.
His arm grab is probably the most dangerous move he can use. While its true that it doesnt do any damage, it puts you in a very bad situation, where Ryo can’t move for a couple of seconds and Chai is right behind him, ready to follow up with whatever move he wants to - usually his trademark somersault kick. It doesnt help that its almost impossible to predict and dodge (I feel its the hardest throw to escape in the series), hence why I really hate it when he uses it.
Finally, his slide action (where he slips under Ryo’s legs) is yet another move thats really difficult to anticipate and escape. He likes to spam it, so youre better off just letting him slide. If you do nothing or try to run away, hes guaranteed to perform his trademark “back hug” throw, but you can prevent that from happening by spamming the Kick button right after Chai gets behind you.
One other important thing to keep in mind when fighting Chai is to try and limit your usage of punches, as he can counter all of Ryo’s hand moves (even the Elbow Assault) with a nasty, scripted punch that can’t be blocked nor dodged. He doesn’t use it very often though, so you can usually get away with spamming hand moves without getting countered, but you know, just in case.
Well, I think that’s all the important info you need to know about the great Chai before facing him yourself. I hope you enjoy the video! If you already did and youre still looking for other no damage runs, check out 2 bonus no damage Chai fights on my Twitter! Ciao 🖐🙂

On a side note, I’m sorry for not posting anything for a whole year. Unfortunately, life has got in the way, and I don’t think I will be able to return posting videos semi-regularly. I will however keep on making Shenmue videos when I can, so please look forward to those. I also wish to thank all of you who have liked, subscribed and left a comment in this period of drought – you guys are amazing! 😉
