Kiryu vs Majima

[Avidbug]

Who do you think would win in a fight if they were both going full on (in this game i mean, when kiryu is only 20 and majima is 24)

I actually think Majima would win

*Spoilers obviously*


I agree with Majima. One of the reasons being that based on the adjusted story of Kiwami, Kiryu is stated to be stronger in the 00s than in the 80s after training with Komaki and Majima himself. If Majima wasn't stronger than at least the 80s Kiryu, I don't think he would've been able to help Kiryu reach his new level. While Kiryu did beat down an ungodly amount of punks on top of Kuze in 0, Majima took on more established guys like Sera, Kashiwagi, and of course Lao Gui. It wouldn't even surprise me if at some point they officially state 0 as Majima's peak physical prowess. Even if we're just talking strictly gameplay mechanics and not story, Majima on Mad Dog is just brokenly strong.

I saw someone on reddit once say "the only reason majima fails when fighting kiryu is because we are playing as kiryu"

Technically, you can beat Kiryu as Saejima. But, in story, they had a draw. Saejima-one and only man who can match Kiryu's strength.
Warning!!! Below is spoiler to Yakuza 7. If you want to play it, do NOT read.
Ichiban and his team also technically defeat Kiryu, but in cutscene, Kiryu wreck all of them and brutally punch Ichiban.
So, this theory isn't true. Even if we play as Majima against Kiryu, Kiryu will wins.
And one extra moment-you can defeat Majima in Yakuza Kiwami in "rusty and dull" form, but Majima won't be satisfied.

I think the quote was more of a joke tbh meaning the only way to actually beat kiwami is to beat majima i.e the shangrila fight etc and we obviously control kiryu. If a cpu kiryu vs a cpu majima then the latter would likely win

the main reason I won't play Y7 is I just don't play turn-based games personally, but story-wise I also feel like it doesn't do the series justice as a main entry just because I think a big part of allure for me is the overwhelming manliness of the characters you control and how they can kick a 100 punks' asses by themselves. Y7 instead has you ganging up on badasses

In this game, having played only this game and having no prior knowledge of all the other games in the series, Majima is stronger than Kiryu by far and away.

At the end his feats were much more impressive since he was up against the scariest opponents in the game.
