what she says: I’m fine

what she means: on the surface kiryu is a classic example of the video game player protagonist: quite serious and not too smart, a tough guy inclined to solve problems with his fists, but with a heart of gold. But paying close attention to his characterization over time and in substories reveals that he is not only a delightfully complex and realistic character in his own right, but also a brilliant deconstruction of the trope. His taciturnity is balanced by a vibrant interest in the world and people around him, and an eager willingness to engage. He gets quietly but easily excited by trivial prizes and accomplishments. He likes games. He has a slightly unintelligible moral outlook that he sticks to with boundless tenacity. his shortsighted battle-readiness causes him to run into grave errors that repeatedly nearly get him killed. His zest for fighting collapses into suicidal ideation, his participation in shallow machismo contests concealing a longstanding desire for death, for suffering to end. His impulsive, at times genuinely stupid behavior is a result of this suffering becoming habit and coalescing into self-destructive behavior that simultaneously apes and genuinely serves a real purpose.

His own suffering makes him gentle and generous to others, and makes him a fierce defender of the value of life. He continually offers the hand of friendship to fallen and humiliated enemies, even when this desire to forgive poses in turn a risk of death.

Most importantly, where other video game protagonists become the unwilling protector of a young person they grudgingly come to love, kiryu willingly and deliberately devotes himself to seeking out and protecting vulnerable children. And he loves them so much, and he loves them openly and obviously and tenderly and with acts of kindness, and he sometimes makes choices that hurt them, but these choices always come 100% out of his love for them, and not out of vulnerability he feels about his image as a macho man. His love is never presented as a source of weakness, only as a source of strength.

genuinely i think everyone would be so much happier if we simply accepted that fanfiction isn’t supposed to be realistic at all, it’s just supposed to make you happy. ​these freaks are currently 20k words into pining for each other while living under the same roof and working the same job, fuck realism tbh

I find it hard to care that RGG haven't aged Majima up yet and I think that's largely due to what a great job they did at aging him down in 0. He looks like a believably younger version of both the current design and the PS3 model but in a lot of the cut scenes at least, they succeed in also making him look incredibly, I dunno, pretty is the word I'd use. (Which I guess gives the contrast between 3/4/5 Majima and 0 Majima the edge, because it tells a visual story - your boy wasn't always a scrunkly, pallid gremlin, look! No, no, don't look at the weirdly lit substories, they don't count)

I've also internalised the fit at the end of PYIH as a statement: this man has come out of his shack and got himself a personal shopper, a dermatologist and Tokyo's premiere colourist, let him live

Random Caps: Yakuza 0: Part 02

Americana Fanboy: He seems to be wearing THREE patterns at once.

This bike I don’t know why I photographed.

Rainbows.

One of my favourite signs. With the lights on and off versions shown here.

Cluster of Buildings.

Kamurocho’s Maharaja

This permanently parked gold sports car that I wish I could drive.

A disco club I really wish we could visit it. You KNOW it’s got some funky futuristic deal going on in there.

The infamous gate. Taking a photo is a mandatory classic.

Defending Miracle Johnson with a Nude Playhouse Sign.

One of the worst photographic angles I’ve used.

This roadside jewellery salesman who looks vaguely dead inside.

This tall fancy lights building that needed two photo’s to have be entirely in frame.

Dolce Kamiya a couple decades before he’s hosting Princess League and other idol programs.

This bunny sign I’m kind of in love with.

More rainbows. (I always get distracted by the rainbows or lights-or shiny things).

Part of the host club signs that dominate the Schichifuku Parking Lot.

A couple entering a love hotel but the captions came from one of the gangs harassing a civilian (not these two) so it has terrible implications instead-

Li Leung presenting everyone’s least favourite password: that you have to TYPE IN LETTER BY LETTER.

POV: You’re in the world’s most intimidating business meeting.

Kitty that lives atop this phone booth in Sotenbori.

Part One Here.
