Ok, so. Nishitani didn't cause Majima to become "The Mad Dog of Shimano"? Aight.
Nor did Sagawa. Nah. He didn't either. No "Mad Dog of Shimano" to be seen thanks to him.
Neither did Shimano himself! "Mad Dog of SHIMANO"? Nah! Just a lackey really!
Caberet Club. That's what Cabaret Club does to a mfer That's what unleashes the "Mad Dog of Shimano"!

oh so Nishitani gets a grandbaby but my boy shimano gets diddly squat? shfuck this gay earth
You have no idea how much it pisses me off that Shimano dies in Y1. Like, "oh yeah let's just kill off the entire reason why Majima is like he is. Oh? Will he develop past this? Shed the Mad Dog persona because his creator; his handler has perished? Is gone? Has been deaded. Unalived??? Nah. He's the same. Shame if there was a reason for this. Like. Oh, I dunno. Said handler was still around. His ingrained behaviour reinforced thanks to his stimulus. His encouragement. Shame he would have no escape from this if he was still around. Shame he wouldn't be able to get away scratching and kicking from this horrible life and become more than the Mad Dog he supposedly is and always will be. Yeah. Anyway Shimano dies is a good idea."
You know what? I'm thinkin' that Nishikiyama Akira, Second Patriach of the Shimano Family has a damn good ring to it. Like, the two already have history. Maybe he (Nishiki) took Shimano's words to heart? Decided to follow him? Well, after he is dead ofc. I know Nishiki dies at the end of Y1 (spoilies), but what if He Didn't? Eh? Make Majima more of a match for Kiryu. They trade blows. Majima limps away. Kiryu limps away. Not a one sided conflict as seen in canon. Nishiki sees this. He knows Majima can stand up to Kiryu. Majima, the Mad Dog of... You guessed it.. Shimano. So what? You're a "mad dog". Anyone can be a "mad dog" if they so wish to forego their inhibitions. But... "of Shimano"? That's somethin'! You have purpose. Drive! Nishiki needs that. He desires it. So he succumbs to the loyalty of Shimano. The myth of Shimano's power. What did we truly see him do? The Jingweon Massacre? Give me a break. Bringing a gun to a fistfight is the epitome of cowardess. But, is Nishiki meant to know that? Nahhhh, he is meant to know the presentation of Shimano: the one who committed atrocities, who tamed the "Mad Dog", a legend in the Yakuzies... So he desires to take up that mantle. A mantle to rival that of Kiryu's; The Dragon of Dojima.... Nishiki becomes Shimano... The 2nd Shimano, mind you. "Shimano" cannot die. He persists. He is alive despite being dead. Through Nishiki, the second Patriarch of the Shimano Family, they both achieve their own ascension! Which, is kinda the deal with Yakuza right? Climbing up the ranks, yknow? But hey. Nishiki finally becomes what he wanted; More than what he is. And, more importantly. Something to rival Kiryu.
maybe i missed a metamano post amidst all the shiposts (shimano posts) but do u have a theory for why shimano was killed off in 1?
It's not like he has an irl actor face claim, i don't think? he's a great character visually + story-wise, it seems a waste. the one reason i could see (besides canon writing go brrrrr) is that he's a product of a period that's no longer around in later games, but even then it would be fun to see him adapt (or fail).
No, no, not metamano missed. I've never had a theory about why he was killed off. Like, any real theory at least. My thought is that, like, Yakuza 1 wasn't thought of to be a start of a franchise. It was, originally, a one-off. I think its popularity was a surprise, and that's why there really wasn't much continuation between Y1 and Y2. Sure Terada came back as a Secret Korean(TM) but come on, really? Like, great! Y'know? When there's precedent for success there's gonna be more chance of a sorta continous plot. But, since there wasn't with Y1, well, there wasn't. Sure, Y0 helped a lil', but you can't do much with "That guy who dies at the end of the sequel" because you wanna focus on Majima more. How he came to be. (Even if I feel that, even then, like, come on. You can do better than that! Why did they have to include Nishitani man!!!!!!!!!!!!) You get me? Like. The Yakuza series has never been the bastion of Look! Context! But I wish it was. That's what I appreciate in a story. A continuation, really. You're right. The period is gone. Like, literally. It's forgotten. Every game has the same problem. It's kinda just like. Yakuza 1+(X). I would've loved to see him in later games. Adapt, fail, or anything in between! Just something to provide fan fave majima with a bit more context other than He Kinda Mad Tho!

can you believe it
Hey guys. Sorry, but I've got to come clean. I have something to admit to you all. I don't actually like Shimano. I just think he kinda sucks. I just made this blog for clout. I don't even make any of this content, I just find it online and repost it. I'm sorry for lying to each and every one of you... also I always preferred Kanda anyway. I am currently in talks with staff to finalise my acquisition of the kanda-tsuyoshi url. I'll keep you all updated.
