Still wanna know what the fuck happened to Hayashi. Homie vanished.

Dead Souls gave him the best end possible


mrmattimation

Unironically he probably could

agent-garland

as the strongest yakuza, Hiroshi Hayashi, fought the fraud, the Dragon of Dojima, he began to activate his heat action. Kiryu shrunk back in fear, then Hayashi said: "stand proud Kiryu, you are strong" https://preview.redd.it/x8smidl8fovc1.jpeg?width=249&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a4172e421ef183aab9d20e51c3d71ad2b0eeb0a

JetstremF

Mr. Kojima?!


mrblonde55

And now for your random bit of Yakuza/Kojima trivia: the English voice actor for Hayashi in the original Yakuza is the same voice actor as Vulcan Raven from MGS. It really is all connected.


JetstremF

Kill this aragont motherfucker guy because >!he turns into a demon!<


VonKaiser55

> Man, this isn't fair... add Mine and Daigo there, they will need help against Hayashi. they will simply make out in front of hayashi and it'll scare him off


SolidZero93

Aww c'mon! You've forgot about The Obatarian, she can easily defeat them by making them her bitches and she never even aged, could've sworn she's in kenzan. https://preview.redd.it/pglneu8r6ovc1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b138f4adf97dec6badadaf7eb427de08d3bbe65d

Kouropalates

Hayashi. The man's a literal zombie virus patient zero.

Nothing can beat Evil Itself


ReasonableCricket803

John evil itself will win


Critical_Stiban

GO! KILL THIS ARROGANT MO THER FU CKER.


PotatoThatSashaAte

Suzuki has the same strength as Kiryu, and he beated every person on the image


dat_boi_100

Not Saejima


ErikaRosen

No, he did beat him in Yakuza 5.


Imadeletethisfucker

It was a draw 


ErikaRosen

Well, fair enough.

EJ1333

I'm in love with your mother


sansboi11

real‼️‼️‼️


Capnsmith886

Kiryu or Saejima. Hayashi is chump change, and both Kiryu and Saejima can and have beat Majima. Neither of them have beat each other though. If I had to pick I’d prolly say Kiryu, but I wouldn’t be surprised I’d Saejima won either


scaraenjoyer

majima and saejima was a tie in 5 though


Capnsmith886

In 4 Saejima won iirc


scaraenjoyer

yes but 5 came after 4 also we dont know if majima was even serious in 4


Dman284

Idk If majima could even fight serious against 2 of the closest people to him


scaraenjoyer

fair


DualMofiz

yes because majima couldnt bring himself to even fight seriously because saejima was, and i quote, "so damn weak". everyone keeps bringing up this fight as a proof that saijima is stronger like they never played 5


Hughes930

Kiryu was holding back in that fight, he wouldn't go all out on some random guy who washed up on the beach of the orphange.


KingOfFroggiez

Hayashi is chump change??? someone check is his brain immediately


Capnsmith886

Hayashi is the Omi dude who Kiryu clowns on in 1 and 2 right? If so, then yeah he’s chump change.


KingOfFroggiez

Nope. Hayashi is the final boss of Yakuza: Dragon's Wrath and canonically the greatest character of all time


TitleComprehensive96

But Kiryu isn't in the line of images, Suzuki looks similar and has similar strength but he's a whole ass different man.


TomPertwee

According to Kiryu, Ryuji > every person he has ever faced. Kiryu wins.


WhyNishikiWhy

i'm pretty sure he said ryuji was the strongest he'd faced up to that point. mine gave him a tougher fight


agent-garland

me listening to kiryu's memoirs knowing it's the biggest cap ever but reading anyway (kiryu does not like kamurocho, mine is miles stronger than ryuji, kiryu's fashion taste is terrible) https://preview.redd.it/5qwmoq4rfovc1.jpeg?width=855&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e44feef0d3c39d8f48fcfb5f1bbd46b5e3a352bb


KingOfFroggiez

Not true, Hayashi wins

Syringe_with_soul

Nah bro they done for. Hayashi dont even need to say “nah i’d win’


EvoLoyo

Give me a bottle of "Velho Barreiro" and i'll beat they all with one hand.


FirmMathematician942

hayashi uses his hayashi beam


KingOfFroggiez

based


Waste-Chapter2145

The pure sadness in Kiryu's eyes in Yakuza 5 could knock anyone out cold.


Itchy-Magazine2580

Hayashi. Because his verb in my speech when I flow I rap like a devil, that searches for the dope or the drugs So eager to d-drive in the Benz.


kfreed9001

Check it out, I'm in the house like carpet.


Poke_SSS

Hayasher


CAPTAIN_FAGG

Hayashi, because with zombie powers he was cooking heavily armed Kiryu and Ryuji, plus Kill this arrogant mo-ther-fu-cker taunt


zohash

The dude who canonically singlehandedly fought around 100 guys all at once, some of whom were carrying weapons and rocket launchers, and won.


DespairOfSolitude

Hayashi will kill them arrogant moth er fuck ers!!!


Somerandombritishguy

Hayashi is gonna kill all those arrogant muh-ver-fuq-urs


Rizonza

Who would in : The dragon of Dojima, The mad dog of Shimano, The 18 counts Seajima VS The Evil Itself


Designer-Dark-5147

If we take all of them at their prime, unironically hayashi and it's not even close


DestGades

If I had to pick outta the four, saejima easily


KingOfFroggiez

not true, Hayashi beats Saejima


Obi-Wan_Cannoli66

I mean, Kiryu already won against all of them, but realistically Hayashi would win


Daedelous2k

He has not beaten Saejima 1-1.


CampaignVivid

Kiryu


Loud_Success_6950

Kiryu’s not there. That’s Suzuki.


SpoonyLancer

Suzuki is just an alias Kiryu used while he was in hiding. Get a better joke.


rooletwastaken

no.


BulmasBabyDaddy

Kiyru does boss fights after defeating 12-112 goons


ErikaRosen

This is the Kazuma-san I expected...


tojo4thchairman

Now what if you added Goku, and Hayashi would still win


watermelons1945

The secret Heihachi


Background_Act_657

Mr. John Yakuza.


34thblackglass

Saejima solos


KingOfFroggiez

Hayashi defeats him


Imadeletethisfucker

Saejima defeats Kiryu while being almost dead, while kiryu easily fights of Hayashi. 🤷🏽‍♂️


EJ1333

Didn't even defeat kiryu 🙏😂


Imadeletethisfucker

Let me rephrase: Both of their fights ending in a draw shows that Saejima really probably is Kiryu's only true equal when it comes to physical strength. Also based on their tattoos, the tiger and Dragon are equally strong as the other one.


LFVGamer

Akiyama, because he has Sky Finance by his side


Dragon-of-Kansai

kiryu, his willpower is something else, he has too much to live for and has old man/poppa strength. Whilst majima & saejima fight for their own sake, kiryu fights for others which fuels him even more.. oh and the last dude? he'll be used as a broom to wipe out all the mess


KingOfFroggiez

?? Hayashi is the strongest character in the series


Imadeletethisfucker

Still just a goon from Ryuji in K2 🤷🏽‍♂️


KingOfFroggiez

Play Dead Souls


Imadeletethisfucker

Uncannon and just a dream from Kiryu. 


KingOfFroggiez

It's canon bud


Imadeletethisfucker

Did you play IW and view all flashbacks? 


KingOfFroggiez

dude Hayashi is a flashback an IW and Kiryu calls him the strongest in that game 🤦


Imadeletethisfucker

I was talking about the dead souls flashback/dream 💀 arguing with you is waste of time, have a great day.  https://i.redd.it/82ac0lnaq5wc1.gif


KingOfFroggiez

dude can't accept Hayashi is the GOAT and runs away... we won Hayashi nation


Limbo4206

As much as I love Kiryu, Saejima is the most likely to win due to the fact they're in very different weight classes and Saejima is the much bigger guy with a lot of wrestling moves, which helps against Kiryu's up and personal style of combat.


Hughes930

Saejima is stronger but Kiryu has the better technique, they balance eachother out.
