i won’t talk about/draw spoilers openly but feel free to share your experiences with the games with me if you’re going through them for the first time! i wanna,,,,talk to people about the very serious crime dramas ù-ú (especially since i can’t draw as much right now)

hi! sorry i wanted to write a decent response to this when i first saw it and then i forgot o(-<

character spoilers inbound

as a serious topic of discussion uh

i’d say he’s never killed senselessly. maybe murder in self-defense isn’t super super justified (looking at the car chase sequences and that part in 6 where kiryu blows up a helicopter and other similar moments) but that’s like a whole other part of the argument that’s too much thinking for my brain

kiryu also says he’s never claimed to be a saint, so the self-defense thing kinda fits there

in regards to ryuji, had he not fought kiryu earlier before getting shot, he probably would have survived (and he definitely would have been fine going two rounds with kiryu if he hadn’t been shot at all)

for the second part, i......don’t really know lol

0 implies???? that he’s not??????? but it’s also kinda funny if he is

more than anything i’m just sad that kiryu’s like....“not allowed” to fall in love and have a family of his own, not after yumi and kaoru. if his heart had always been with yumi then i could have believed him being a virgin, but then kaoru became a love interest of sorts in the following game and that kinda threw the idea out the window

and then she vanished too so uh. yeah,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

this is SO nice!!! thanks for this message :’))

honestly (and i’m saying this as someone who was kinda just casually following that series) i didn’t expect it to end so soon! maybe it felt a teeeeeny bit rushed, but it really was super cute overall :0 and it left off on a good note

BIG SAMEE
