Yakuza Like A Dragon TV Series is HAPPENING

·58 min·5 clips

The Yakuza Like a Dragon TV series is coming to Amazon Prime, and nothing else matters this week.

This episode of the What's Good Games podcast focuses on the announcement of a "Yakuza: Like a Dragon" television series coming to Amazon Prime. Hosts Andrea Rene, Brittany Brombacher, and Rihanna Manuel Peña, known for their video game news and humorous commentary, react to this major development. The hosts begin by humorously discussing Brittany's shirt featuring multiple images of the character Kiryu. They describe the shirt's optical illusion effect created by the blurred borders and varying sizes of Kiryu's face. Brittany notes she only wears this shirt for important news weeks, which this qualifies as due to the TV show announcement. The hosts joke about a particularly creepy version of Kiryu's face on the shirt that has been digitally altered with a big smile. The conversation shifts to thanking the month's super producers, including Faraz Atiyah and Justin Foshee. They also acknowledge a new five-star reviewer on the podcast platform named Strawberry160Brit. Andrea mentions receiving a sweet email from a listener named Andrew. A surprising claim is that the shirt's design, featuring the same character from many angles, creates a disorienting visual effect that "breaks" their brains. The hosts find humor in the absurdity of a shirt dedicated to a single "husbando," or beloved male character. The announcement is treated with a level of excitement deemed appropriate for breaking out a special, themed shirt. The tone is casual, conversational, and filled with inside jokes and playful banter among the hosts. The style is enthusiastic and personality-driven, prioritizing immediate reaction and humor over deep analysis. Video game fans, especially those passionate about the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, would enjoy this celebratory and informal discussion. Listeners seeking a highly structured, news-focused episode or those unfamiliar with the hosts' dynamic and inside jokes might prefer to skip it.
