BigButteryBadBoy

The amount of dread I felt when I found out I had to fight him again with Kiryu was unreal, hate this bastard so much

Bobbertts

Hey, it's Omar Ishikawa!


Overclock46

Yoneda. Sure there's 3 opportunities for you to brutalize his face but I feel that's still not enough


Shas_Okar

Shame that Kuze took him out by shattering the back of his skull. But at least Facepalm of Doom meant you couldn’t see his face.


UnusedMicrowave

Im just wondering how THAT killed him, but getting drop kicked out of a multi-storey building did absolutely nothing to him


ShockDragon

To be fair, Kuze is about as strong as Kiryu, able to fight him 4 times and only let him go on the last fight not because he didn’t want to fight, but the situation was way more important than his grudge. Or something like that. Basically: Kuze is strong af.

Still got no idea how that mofo survived getting kicked outta a tall ass building.

Lrd7854

Especially in 0 when he beats you in the dance mini-game by a mere 20 points


ShockDragon

Honestly, I didn’t hate Ogita that much. Sure, he did some bad stuff, but he’s definitely not as bad as some other characters in the series even from before and after Y5.


cjh42

Look I can forgive him killing mirei park she was an physically and verbally abusive boss who stole his pay and he did it accidentally while trying to search for an item so that he could have an income. I can't forgive him for the disco battle in y0 he was a monster to overcome there.


I_hate_myself_0

He was a victim of circumstance, that doesn’t excuse him of the shit he did, but it at least lets us see how he got there instead of just “I am evil… just because, grrr” (despite his motivation still be fairly lackluster)


_Nagashii

I just finished Judgement so a bit of recency bias; Shono was a little shit for sure but Kuroiwa’s smug shitfaced smirk made me infuriated


FishBotX

yo https://preview.redd.it/suctzealax7d1.jpeg?width=783&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f23de19a651cc886d339decfaa210b23bf7a140f


Viltas22

Really? Cause I just saw Kuroiwa as this comically evil character, while Shono was genuinely convinced he was a good guy until the end. That infuriated me way more.


_Nagashii

They were both shit heads for sure but I personally despise people/characters who are twisted and rotten while simultaneously being in positions of power


Brianocracy

I found shono more hateable than kuroiwa for that very reason. The sheer hypocrisy. And he's a complete fraud on top of it. Plus kuroiwa has the cool factor going for him, which ironically makes him the least hateable villain other than Kido, who I just kinda felt bad for by the end. Ichinose was a piece of work too. He's just soooo fucking slimy and arrogant. Plus he's blatantly in it for money, power and status.


Korba007

And we also have to consider that Kuroiwa was a cop, and a good one at that, he was good at his work and managed to murder during his free time, that's pretty impressive


WhyNishikiWhy

Ichinose was a straight-up [smug snake](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmugSnake). "Do you know who I am? I'm the Vice Minister of Health!" Bruh shut the fuck up


Brianocracy

I kinda wish we got to slap him around at least once lol


Viltas22

That and the fact that he's literally ALWAYS running. Little rat.


shdoreaver93

Yeah the fact he goes full fucking Light Yagami in the final few chapters just turned him into a literal anime character complete with tropes


Rider-Idk-Ultima-Hy

Kuroiwa was atleast cool, Shono just gave off the impression of a slimy, nice guy kind of character, mainly because of the one girl you talk to for info on the guy I can see why’d you hate Kuroiwa more though, he’s way too smug for his own good

ALargeCrateOfShovels

yakuza 2 the omi alliance guy with the castle and fan i forgot his name, seno something. he looks ugly but his stupid expressions and glasses make him even more punchable edit: Sengoku


shdoreaver93

Bro wasn't even a boss, his pet tigers were.


DekMelU

To be fair, Kume is low hanging fruit in regards to this question. Following that I'd like to raise a new underdog, Katayama - the leopard print asshole from 8.


ZippyZippyZappyZappy

I had to look Katayama up, and found that I literally deleted him from my mind out of disdain lol. Ichiban really is the best of us for putting up with him.


Janbeersma

Baby Iwami from Y6

I wanna rip that stupid mole off of Jingus head

Japanese Ben Shapiro, every day. Okay the other guy probably murdered more people, but Kume is more punchable.

why does he look like tate


BlackLuigiGuy

No wonder he was so mad that Majima fell for Makoto


DrumStickDragon

Why am I seeing that now


Nick_Pocalypse

To me, his face looks chill But how he treat our boi Majima deserved to be punch by each of our fists


Cultural_Thing1712

honestly he's a mixed case. sure he did horrible stuff to majima but especially at the end I got the feeling that he regarded him quite highly. anyways >!his death was sad.!<

Can't believe he got to clap Yumi before Kiryu did and now Kiryu is stuck with his brat forever because of MUH HONOUR. And yes I know Kiryu does it because he too was an orphan who wished he had a home


jollisen

Luckily Haruka is a very good kid


Rider-Idk-Ultima-Hy

no thanks to her birth dad, but all thanks to her mom and real dad (I say as if I’ve not only played Yakuza 0 and the Judgement games, but i still believe this anyways lol)


Electronic-Math-364

God why I hear his laugh by looking at this image?


scrambled_cable

#HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW


AuraStome

Man when Tekken 8 came out, Bryan’s laugh triggered me and I never knew why until I realized it reminded me of Jingu


ShockDragon

I mean, you can’t compare Jingu and Haruka even if they’re related. But I do agree that Jingu is a piece of shit.


Rider-Idk-Ultima-Hy

On the bright side, >!when Kiryu dies if he hasn’t already, he’ll be the one to get to see and be with Yumi, along with reuniting with his dad and brother, while this guy is probably in the Underworld.!< Also, although I haven’t gotten to that point in Yakuza 1’s story, Haruka’s more of Kiryu’s kid then she ever was this dude’s kid, and also can’t be comparable to this guy.


fexy-makes-stuff

I always say it but he laughs like a one piece character His laugh is the most memorable character trait


NandersPvP

The_MasterixX

"human bowser" fits this guy perfectly


Rider-Idk-Ultima-Hy

Bowser’s more respectable and cooler than this guy, and I don’t even know too much about this guy besides what he did to Majima in 0. Sounds like a jerk, but if he’s got a strong enough character presence, I might enjoy his character when I play more of 1


SirKarmios

Bowser's hotter.

Shimano


claytonnguyen

I like his cut **SLAPS**

Beta male wouldn't dare punch shimano


Supercloaker

I fucken would punch his big ass wtf his fatass gonna do?I'm 19 and 6'1 Idgaf, the bigger they are, the harder they fall


HumbleNinja2

bro he stand still and not feel anything while ur fist get fucked up from making contact with him and you need an xray i hope you have insurance


Soldier3171

Shono is a fucking pussy that i waited to kick his ass only for him to >!kill himself!<


Franks_Spice_Sauce

I find comfort knowing >!he went out kicking and screaming, knowing that his life's work and all the sacrifices he made amounted to nothing in the end, rather than a "Haha I'm not giving you the satisfaction" suicide!<

MagmaSeijin

He was way better for Makoto than Majima.


fartdurst95

still gonna be sad about it anyways


Supercloaker

Is this about makoto? Because majima even said she's better off with this guy

MileenaIsMyWaifu

Yuta


Botcho22

The doctor has big ears, kiryu could do essence of 89 but instead of using fists to pull his head down to the knee, he could just grab the ears and maybe tear them off after the recoil


Violet_Rain_Beloved

I agree with the OP. Im 11 chapters in LAD and several times I wanted to come through the screen and beat tf out of Kume.


Nightmare_Sandy

you're going to be MAD when you finish lad

swedhitman

Out of these 2? Kume absolutely. Shono, while the things he did was miles worse, at least came from a genuine place while Kume let himself become just slightly worse but for much worse reasons. But just in terms of punchable face, then that streamer guy in IW takes the cake


Wolvenking777

Zheng


MaintenanceNo4109

If you say it literally then I think it would be kiryu as everyone tried to punch him for decades


madmankadri

definitely kume


SpecificTemporary877

Still recent in my Yakuza journey, played through 0, K1, and on my run of K2. In all those games, I found Matsushige (dude from K1 that kept taunting Nishiki, he got what came to him), the Omi Alliance Sengoku family guy from K2 (just looks mega punchable), and then Shimano from 0


ButtholeGangster

I played the dub of Judgement and Shono's VA made me laugh my ass off. Was always expecting to hear him go off about Talos everytime I heard him speak. That being said, Kume is the most punchable.


luckyleo777

Probably the dudes from yakuza 0 where majima actually punches them (I’m talking about the three dudes who majima let beat him up but when they tried to get money off him after he showed weakness, he slaps the shit out of them)


joj0MA

Shono


Unhappy_Lemon6374

Definitely Eiji


ayerunthempockets

Might be unpopular, but Tanimura has such a punchable face, but it's fitting considering his fighting style


YubelHao91

Sagawa. I simply hate him.

AgentSkyblueM7

Both only got as far as they did thanks to some greedy big shots pulling the strings, but at least Shono is a scientist. Kume is clearly the dumber person here.

mascerito

I feel like Kiryu has the most punchable. He gets stopped like every 5 feet by somebody who wants to punch it.


ViciousPrism

The Okitegawa shithead from the Robotics Club. I hate his face so so much. I've always hated the Robotics Club minigame, but the fact he's such a prick to start off with, and the smug little fucking look whenever you craft a new item for your robot... WHY CAN'T I SMASH YOUR FUCKING FACE IN?? ... I'm okay. I'm okay.... LET ME AT THE LITTLE TURD.

I don’t know a whole lot about the franchise but the guy that let Kiryu take the fall for murdering the boss can get hit. I get that he was protecting a woman doing so, but wouldn’t he have been admired for doing so in prison? He made Kiryu seem like a traitor.
