The ending sucks!

[Bonebreaker]

As much as i enjoyed the game but somehow it feels that they run out of ideas.

Kiryu sacrificed so much during the series that you whis he could just retire and lead a peacefull life at the morning glory with his kids. But for some reason this Haruka girl is way to naiv and also a bit selfish and ruins everything. Not only for our Kiryu but also for the Kids at the Morning Glory. With her stupidity she is directly responsible for everything that happens during the whole game and in the end once again Kiriyu has to pay the price for everything.

I like the series but whoever made up the story should be fired, to many things where predictable, some fealt idotic and there where quite a few story scenes where you get the feeling that they just recycled events from previous yakuza games. (like the Millenium Tower for example).

couldnt disagree more

I dont agree. The ending is great and fair. Kiryu belongs to the yakuza and always will and he needed to leave these kids alone because he just bring problems to everyone around. That is his punishment for the life he had

Well that may be true but in this part the real problems only occured because Haruka lied to everyone, run away and didnt even tried to face her problems. Kiriyu tried all the time to keep her away from the yakuza and shady business and our sily girl has nothing better to do than beeing lovey dovey with another yakuza boy. She could had literaly chosen anyone but it had to be someone with a criminal record. If she would have acted way more normal Kiryu could atleast had visit the Kids at the Morning Glory regulary after his 3 year prison time.

Another thing that also was weird. After the showdown and everything they didnt even bother to mention Kiryu at the Morning Glory again or show some sad kids or some people that really grief about.

She is an orphan teenager that grew up with a gangster. What could possible go wrong right?

if Haruka didn't tell entire world that Kiryu is her father... , I still didn't get the point for the end of Yakuza 5 .

Same here, you could get the impression that she is way to honest without thinking about the consequences. If Kiriyu is really so important she could have just left without bluring anything out. I think they tried to show that famely is more important which is ok, but the way they did is a bit strange. With her statement she put the famely and her friends in even more danger.

Yeah, that's Yakuza.

I think they could've stayed in contact, but secretly

I'm sure ending kinda suggests that Haruka knows he's alive. The very last line is "Hang in there." after all.

Could be, but probably not. I do hope he gets a chance of a reunion. I think they left him alive cause they aren't sure if they are done with Kiryu or not.

I mean he IS in LaD after all. Yakuza 8 is already in development but Ichiban is the main character now, so Kiryu will most likely not be returning as an MC. I guess they might reference him a bit or give him screen time. Maybe even a reunion with Haruka or something like that (though very unlikely) but I reckon he won't be showing up much or at all. Only his name because he is still a legend among the yakuza but thats it

Haruka likely knows Kiryu is alive. That fixes everything wrong with the ending. The Daigo thing was weird, though.

I doubt she knows, but I hope she does or Date tells her the truth one day. Daigo calling Kiryu his father was a bit weird though, felt more like he was his big brother than a father.
