Line 185:
* [[Manly Tears]]: Kazuma actually sheds these when {{spoiler|Rikiya}} dies. You know from this moment on that someone is [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|GOING TO FUCKING DIE.]]
* [[Mark Hamill]]: Plays Goro Majima.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: ''0'' has the four Mr. Shakedowns. Basketballer-tall and built like brick shithouses, they are very obvious when walking around, can't give chase at any faster than a jog, and their attacks are highly telegraphed, but that doesn't really matter when just a few mistakes will put Kiryu or Majima's health in the grave, and the boss-level health they have means there will be plenty of opportunities to make those mistakes.
* [[Mirror Boss]]: The final boss of Kiryu's half of ''0'' has three phases mirroring Kiryu's [[Stance System]] - a speed-based style analogous to Rush, a power-based style that emphasises using environmental objects analogous to Beast, and a balanced style analogous to Brawler or Legend.
* [[Miyamoto Musashi]]: Appears in ''Kenzan!'', eventually getting a name change to {{spoiler|Kiryu Kazumanosuke}}.
Line 207 ⟶ 208:
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: Starting a file for the second game in a card with the files from the first nets Kazuma a bonanza of items, most of which Haruka gave to him in the first game to indicate his [[Karma Meter]] progression and comprise of one-shot healing items and accessories that affect his stats.
** In ''Yakuza 3'' (may be JP version only), having a ''Kenzan!'' save file will net you Ukiyo's Bell, an exclusive protective item.
* [[One-Man Army]]:
*
** Chronologically preceding Kiryu's first rodeo was Saejima, who got the "18-Count" moniker for killing 18 men as part of a hit on a rival clan leader and is still [[Famed in Story]] for that more than 20 years later.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: {{spoiler|Goro Majima pretty much gives the as the reason why he took a knife meant for Kazuma in the gut... right after coldcocking the underling who used the aformentioned knife. }}
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Do not mess with little Haruka, Kazuma's adoptive daughter, if you value your life.
Line 258 ⟶ 261:
** ''Kiwami 2'': Kei Ibuchi, with his neat hair, glasses and proper suit and tie, could be mistaken for any ordinary salaryman rather than the patriarch of a Yakuza family if you just passed him on the street none the wiser.
** ''Lost Judgment:'' Some of the White Mask mooks are [[You All Look Familiar|generic NPC models you might have walked past a dozen times without second thoughts]] until they mask up and start throwing punches.
* [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]]: Beating the crap out of dozens of people? Forgivable. One lowly punk getting shot/stabbed to death? [[Serious Business]]. Like, clan-war serious. This may come off as [[Values Dissonance]] for people used to western crime dramas, but remember that guns (and thus, gun violence) are a lot rarer in Japan, plus yakuza are ''really'' political. Unless they're [[What Measure Is a Mook?|foreigners]] in which case you can gun them down without remorse. Ditto zombies.
* [[Town with a Dark Secret]]: The [[Driving Question]] for a large part of ''6: The Song of Life'' is "What is the Secret of Onomichi and why are the Yomei Alliance going so far to keep it?"
* [[Turncoat]]: So far, apart from [[The Lancer|Shinji Tanaka]], significant individuals in the Nishiki Family are doomed to this role.
* [[Two Guys and a Girl]]: Kazuma, Nishiki, and Yumi in the first game pretty much fits this trope, especially as the story went by.
