how would u have nishiki look in a nishiki lives au? 👀
HMMMMMMMM I've been thinkin' a little about this when I started Yakuza Kiwami recently!! Thank you for making 2am-4am me finally do something about it!!
Not that I'm great dude that can draw detailed and accurate burns and so on, but I'm tucking this under a Read More tab to spare those who might be uncomfortable!!
CW: Burns, missing limbs etc.
Also! Major spoilers for Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami ahead!
the game has been out for years- are spoiler notices still worth adding?
Obviously as the "guy who pulled the trigger", he'd suffer the most burns, cuts from shrapnel/physical damage from the collapsing floor.
His hair would have been lost/thinned in result. So while I would love to give Nishiki all his glorious hair back- it wouldn't be the same. So- it's thinned, less controllable.
I've drawn his burns darker here, but obviously over time, they settle down and they're not "as obvious"? In that, they're still present (and always will be) but they're not as deep as the initial burns.
The burns are present across most of his body (with a majority over his face/front of body) but also minimally present over his back. Mixes with his tattoo which makes it harder to see the burns. Examples of the body burns are a little later on.
I can't decide whether or not I think he'd lose his sight completely or partially? So there's gotta be eye damage in there somewhere (and not accurately drawn by me what-so-ever).

woah,,,,,,,,, mildly nakey nishki 😳😳😳
From left to right:
Full body burns and injuries. Shrapnel has sliced into him, flesh has deeply burnt/eroded so there's components where chunks of his chest is missing. This needs to be examined better in the future so there's definitely gonna be some better, more accurate details later on.
With his prosthetics!! Think he deserves these after everything. Arms/Legs need to be examined further to draw them accurately. Most/all damage should occur to the right side of Nishiki considering he pointed the gun at the bomb with his right forward.
Body w/o prosthetics. That's literally it ay.
... yeah.... this one's a joke........ I gotta find something that fits his Y0 aesthetic because mwah!!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Anyway, that's a lot! Certainly something I'd love to think about more in the future!!! If anyone has some cool recommendations for Nishiki then please 👀👀👀👀 I'm all ears and would love to see/hear you out!!
do you first get in the “zone” when writing, or do you start writing and “enter” it that way?
@the-haunted-office
A mix of both!
If something I know has a certain theme, then I typically put music on related to it (example: our Casino Heist threads always start off with me listening to the Casino Heist music)!
Otherwise, I just jump straight into it! That normally wakes up my writing/muse senses :)
You post a lot about the Yakuza games, you got me interested. Any suggestion of where I should start? Because I've seen there are... way too many, and I was thinking of starting with Yakuza 0, but... I'm not sure
Hello there <3 Welcome aboard to the Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku train!
I know there are a lots of suggestions on where to start with Yakuza- my path into playing yakuza wasn't very linear either (I still need to finish Y0). But! I think a majority of people (myself included) suggest playing the games in number order!! So Yakuza 0 > Kiwami > Kiwami 2 etc.!
As for the Yakuza spin-offs such as Dead Souls, Kenzan, and Ishin. I'm not very knowledgeable on these currently since I don't have a PS3 to play these on, but I personally don't think they need to be played in any particular order. Kenzan and Ishin are set in the Edo Period (Ishin is about to be released again on 21st/22nd Feb!) and Dead Souls is a non-canon zombie apocalypse themed game set a year after the events of Yakuza 4.
Finally, there's also the Judgment series (Judgment and Lost Judgment)! It's set in the same locations as the yakuza series and you get to follow Private Investigator Yagami and babygirl Kaito! I haven't finished these either :")
Hopefully this has helped you! You're more than welcome to come send me more anons about yakuza! I'd be delighted to help you out! 💕💕💕
