ok yea but don't forget about what daigo did in yakuza 4. how could he throw away his most valuable officer like that? he made such terrible decisions there. he was not a good choice and kiryu should have known better. (i am not prev anon btw but i do agree with them)

i didnt forget: i make fun of him every other day for it actually. His Widow Era, i dub it

but in all seriousness i never said daigo was perfect or the "perfect choice"- every time i defend him i emphasize that he isn't perfect and more or less joke about yayoi being chairwoman. but i don't intend to make him seem perfect- i just want to say he's not totally helpless and he didn't run the tojo into the ground like people seem to believe. daigo making one fuck up that got resolved in a week isn't fair enough grounds to brand him a failure for his twelve years of service

plus, who else was kiryu supposed to choose? we already went over how kashiwagi isn't the kind of man to lead people- guide, sure- but not lead. and majima surely didn't want to lead the tojo, he hardly even wanted to be there. kiryu made it clear his options were exhausted and anyone but daigo would be an irresponsible choice (and that was made evident with the likes of shindo running around). again, it was a gamble, and luckily daigo managed to work things out despite his inexperience and hasty inauguration

BUT this ask has inspired me to make a general timeline of daigo's career complete with W's, L's, and things totally out of his control so we can all come to our own conclusions on whether he was cringe fail or not

text version below, left to right:

(Post-Y2) Daigo's Inauguration - January, 2007

Peace Period - January 2007 to March 2009 (2 years, 2 months)

(Y3) Daigo is shot in an attempt to protect Kazuma Kiryu's land - March, 2009

Peace Period - March 2009 to March 2010 (1 year)

(Y4) Daigo is cornered by Isao Katsuragi and the police - March 2010

Peace Period - March 2010 to December 2012 (2 years, 9 months)

(Y5) Daigo slips from the Tojo to visit Tatsuo Shinada and causes a potential rift between the Tojo and the Yamagasa family - December, 2012

(Post-Y5) Daigo resolves the tension between the Yamagasa family and the Tojo Clan - December, 2012

Peace Period - December 2012 to 2015 (3 years)

(Pre-Y6) Daigo, alongside Goro Majima, are framed and arrested for the fire in Little Asia - 2015 to January 2017 (~2 years)

(Post-Y6) Daigo and co. are released from prison, deciding not to get revenge for Kiryu's sake - January, 2017

Peace Period - January 2017 to Late 2017 (~1 year)

(Pre-Y7) The Tojo Clan is pushed out of Kamurocho as a part f the Kamurocho 3K Plan (Late 2017)

Daigo, Saejima, and Majima are forced into hiding - Late 2017 to Mid 2019 (~2 years)

(Y7) Daigo and Masaru Watase put an end to the yakuza and go legit as a security company - Mid 2019

#snap chats #i could probably also include daigo's charisma being able to recruit mine #mine's involvement in the tojo is what gave them grandiose funds #tho i excluded it since we don't see that tree bear fruit- if anything it just makes a problem in Y4 💀#i did consider daigo's arrest in 2015 as out of his control- not to mention majima was arrested a well #it wasn't that daigo made an agreement with the police they literally just came and arrested him and majima #unlike Y4 where he had the choice of whether or not to work with the police #i've marked the jima's hiding as out of his control though i guess you can argue it was in his control #but it was a long-term plan so it's like. EHHHHH up in the air ig #yes the tojo was pushed out but it was also a long-term plan to protect them and liberate them from the government #it's an L or a W depending on how you see it #i feel like im missing something but im tired and put more effort into this than i should have #if we wanna talk bout daigo's capabilities as a chairman i'm all ears because i am that post i just rb'd about becoming your pfp #for now im making a hijikata compilation bye
