Line 131:
* [[Gatling Good]]: Ryuji Goda in ''Of The End/Dead Souls'' sports a cybernetic [[Arm Cannon]] from the [[Final Fantasy VII|Barrett Wallace]] Collection.
* [[Gilded Cage]]: In ''0'', Majima's story starts this way. He is running a swanky cabaret with plenty of beautiful women at the height of Japan's glitzy bubble economy, but it is eventually shown at the end of Chapter 3 that his apartment is watched by at least four people for any sign of him trying to escape the arrangement that has him on loan to the Omi Alliance. He's desperate to regain his freedom by getting back into the good graces of the Tojo Clan so that he can become a proper soldier of the mob once more, and he doesn't care for the warnings he receives about why that's not a good idea.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]:
*
** ''Yakuza 0'' gives us {{spoiler|Kuze}} being forced to slice his own finger off, and while we get to see it gushed quite a lot of blood for a severed pinky, clever use of a flash frame and an angled towel being used to collect the digit in question spare us the most gory part.
** Also from ''0'', Lao Gui goes for an [[Eye Scream|eye gouge]] on Majima. If you fail the QTE, the camera moves away enough to hide the thumb going in, only showing the gushing of blood, and returns focus to Majima only in time for him to clutch at his eye in pain.
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: {{spoiler|Ryuji Goda in a surprisingly heartwarming scene.}}
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Several regular bosses and super boss hitman Jo Amon in classic John Woo style. Which makes it all the more badass when they are beaten to death by fists and feet (if the player chooses).
Line 216 ⟶ 218:
** The [[wikipedia:Ryu Ga Gotoku#Tie-in and product placement|Other Wiki]] has more specific details on the Product Placements.
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Goro Majima. {{spoiler|To the point where you hire him in the second game, and it's real nice to have him on your side this time.}}
* [[Purple Is Powerful]]: In ''0'', Awano wears a purple jacket. He seems like a petty bully whose body has seen better days at first. Then he punches a wall hard enough it craters.
* [[Ranged Emergency Weapon]]: In Dead Souls, Pistol ammo is infinite, making a Pistol a [[Ranged Emergency Weapon]] for most characters (except for Akiyama, whose primary weapon is a pistol). But as the first character in the game this works to soften the learning curve by making ammo not much of an issue until later).
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: While not wholly repentant, {{spoiler|Nishiki}} died avenging someone he cared about. Ditto {{spoiler|Mine in the third game}}. Also {{spoiler|Hamazaki}} in Yakuza 4.
Line 256 ⟶ 259:
* [[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.
* [[The Unfought]]: {{spoiler|Hamazaki}} in the third game. Sagawa and Dojima in ''0''.
* [[Walking Armory]]: Taiga Saejima made his debut by using more guns than anyone else in the entire series: six at once! Two in either hand, two in his pockets, one in his belt, and one in his teeth. 36 bullets to wipe out an entire branch of an enemy clan. In Japan, where guns are rare to begin with, this is ''ludicrous.''
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: In ''Dead Souls/Of The End'', each of the four playable characters have one primary firearm that they use as their default weapon.
