Majima reveals to Kiryu that the entire production had simply been a scheme to get Kiryu to fight seriously, and that there are no real zombies at all. Upon reaching Taihei Boulevard East, Kiryu encounters Zombie Majima again, and after defeating him a second time, receives yet another call from Nishida, who congratulates him on taking down all the zombies. After defeating him, Kiryu runs into the infected Majima Family and fights them off as they flood the streets.

A fight ensues between Zombie Majima and Kiryu. Kiryu receives another call from Nishida who warns him that the entire Majima Family has been infected - including himself - and have turned into zombies. Majima attempts to bite Kiryu as soon as he notices him, but Kiryu manages to knock him down. When Kiryu arrives, he spots Majima, apparently now a zombie, shambling down an alleyway. Goromi Main article: Goromi Zombie Majima Kiryu receives a phone call from Nishida who says that something terrible happened to Majima, telling Kiryu to head over to Senryo Avenue. After Officer Majima is defeated, he begins to patrol the streets. If Kiryu does have a weapon on him, a fight ensues. If Kiryu does not have a weapon on him when Majima frisks him, he expresses his disappointment and leaves Kiryu alone. When Kiryu next passes by Millennium Tower, he is stopped and patted down by Officer Majima. Officer Majima Kiryu receives a phone call from Nishida, who says that Majima is in front of Millennium Tower, warning Kiryu not to bring any weapons with him. Majima has a variety of different personas that he takes on during the events of Kiwami, including: The intent is to make Kiryu stronger (as well as Majima himself, by extension), and is the main way that Kiryu is able to re-learn all of the Dragon Style abilities after spending ten years in prison.

Because uh.Majima Everywhere ( どこでも真島, Dokodemo Majima) is an added feature available in Yakuza Kiwami, wherein Goro Majima attacks Kazuma Kiryu in a large variety of ways. Way more jarring for me, rather than the murder thing, was how 0 Majima was so ridiculously respectful of women, though. Like someone else here said, this is an issue of 0 screwing the pooch on his characterization and turning him into someone who he never was and selling new fans on a character who never existed. If you're looking for something deeper beyond that to be explained to you in 4 and/or 5, though, prepare to be disappointed. You really don't see him going after civilians, but yakuza are fair game. And there was the issue of her being pretty much entirely dependent on him almost right away, which is far more sentimental and hard to deal with than a gaggle of punks who put on fancy suits and like to think they're more important than they are.Īnd that's actually fairly consistent with Majima's character for most (all? someone with a better memory than me can correct me) of the series. Makoto was a civilian and a completely innocent and helpless one, at that. The other has a much more involved plot in 5 (after having a really involved plot in 4), which might be more difficult to follow without playing 4 first. One of them is in the 'there for the sake of being there' category so it might be hard to understand why he's there without playing 4 first. However 2 of the 3 new characters from 4 return in 5.

If you are only interested in Kiryu's story then 4 isn't that essential as he's kinda there for the sake of being there, the other 3 characters are more the drivers of the main plot.
YAKUZA KIWAMI MAJIMA MESSAGES SERIES
So you should be safe to carry on with the series while putting 2 aside for now.ģ, 4 and 5 are much more interconnected though so it would be harder to separate one out and say that it's skippable, which is complicated by the introduction of multiple playable characters. The Kiwami 2 stuff doesn't look like it'll change that much since the new stuff seems focused on tying into 0. 2 was an (excellent) standalone story, it doesn't really have much impact on future games.
