I want to see more of them…

I’m a fake fan I haven’t made yakuza fanart since like January 💔💔💔 but I want to draw more of them…. Perhaps I shall eventually draw Akiyama soon….

Art dump no.1

Sorre for not posting I hate everything I draw lately but it’s WHATEVER!!!!!!!

Cowboy Kiryu and Majima

And of course I had to make a drawing of Goromi showcasing her swimsuit ✨

yakuza 0 is a good place to start the series, but it maybe makes more thematic sense coming between yakuza 5 and 6, since it continues 5's downbeat themes better than it leads into 1's plot, and majima's relationship and eventual separation from makoto prefigures kiryu's final abandonment of haruka and the morning glory orphans in 6 pretty strongly.

majima learns in 0 what kiryu doesn't learn until 6:

that attempting to live in both worlds harms the people from the straight world you want to protect, and that in order to keep them safe, you have to abandon them despite the love between you and resign yourself to be a dog without agency for abusive and powerful men who will use you and discard you without a second thought

it's a garbage lesson, to be sure, and you can see how much harm it does to both of them, but the thematic throughline is clear from 5-0-6; kiwami 1 and 2 in particular are active rejections of that idea, so the resonance of the games is a little muddled when played in internal chronology order, or at least it makes majima's role as protagonist less clear, since he doesn't recur with anywhere near the same tragic nobility in the rest of the series. he's not a foil for yakuza 0 kiryu, but he is a foil for the kiryu of 5 and 6, someone who suffered, who was out, and who saw his connections actively weaponized against the people he cared about. it would have been nice to have some of that conveyed in dialogue between the two of them — and it would have been EXTREMELY NICE AND CORRECT to give haruka the same narrative presence and agency in 6 as makoto got in 0; makoto at least got to end the relationship on her own terms in a way that haruka just didn't (and i'm still mad about) — but the game possibly functions better as a flashback than it does as an introduction as a result.

guys i started playing yakuza 0. me and majima did not agree on the approach to the odyssey plan 😅

finished🌹🕺✨

for dearest @theashenphoenix!

Being able to use majima for my listing photos makes me too powerful, I think.
