The only final boss Kiryu never respected.

And with good reason.

One thing I wanna note here, the dynamic intro of this combines 2 very iconic signature moves of Kiryu’s. The mid-air clash is reminiscent of the very first dynamic intro in the series against Yoshitaka Mine. But notice Kiryu’s pose, that’s his Iconic high kick from the Yakuza 1 box art. Fitting for Kiryu’s final ever (playable as him) dynamic intro

You know the saying 'Don't poke the bear'

In Dutch we go further and say 'Don't poke the dragon'

Iwami: threatens to kill Kiryu’s daughter and grandson

Kiryu: And I took that personally.

Kiryu vs The CEO of nintendo

YOu know, kinda weird for them to make Kiryu fight a baby as the final boss, i mean such a bold move making fight an infant. I respect it though.

Ah yeah , little baby Iwami , the only final boss Kiryu wanted to kill, we are talking about Yakuza 6 Kiryu , the calmest Kiryu by far

Imagine if the name drop was:

Tsuneo Iwami
  little baby

You're about to understand...just who you picked a fight with

One thing I've noticed about the dynamic intro title cards is their title is how the character is viewed by the person we play as. If I'm not mistaken, at this point in time, Iwami had become the chairman of the Yomei Alliance, but to Kiryu, that didn't matter. Iwami was never a true yakuza, just some wannabe that played every dirty trick he could to get ahead. Kiryu had first heard about him as the CEO of Iwami Shipbuilding, and that's all he is to him.

Another example I can think of is from Yakuza 4's final boss fight with Tanimura vs Munakata and his bodyguards. At that moment, Munakata wasn't worthy of being a cop in Tanimura's eyes, as he corrected himself from saying, "Deputy Commissioner... No, Seishiro Munakata!" Then, in the title drop, we see it's just simply "Seishiro Munakata." Nothing about him being the Deputy Commissioner of the Tokyo PD.

Everyone is like "Kiryu is doing his signature kick in the dynamic intro!"

Meanwhile I just thought he is legitimately out to kill little baby ass

Iwami no Bocchan

This is Kiryu theme in yakuza 6

And you can't change my mind

I can't believe Kiryu was going to kill a little baby there. How cruel of him😭

Gap between Ebina and Iwami is really wide.

Kiryu can only say sorry to Ebina for all the damage yakuza did to Ebina, while with Iwami, he was so damn ready to end his life.

"He is nothing to me."

When Kiryu really took Ryuji's words to heart.

I said this in another battle with Little Baby Iwami...
But this is such an endurance feat for Kiryu, man gets hammered with a pipe several times, and then knocked down, but gets back up... and shows Iwami just who he is. The Dragon of Dojima and this man messed with so many lives that Kiryu didn't care if he killed him. And I love that Kiryu is just ready to end him.

Great!
This is my favorite OST from Yakuza 6, also Destiny from the battle against Someya.

"Little Baby Iwami."
