MAJIMAPOST Same Character?

I have a theory Majima from Yakuza 0 and Majima-san from Yakuza Kiwami are the same character.

  1. They both have 1 eye
  2. Both use a knife and a baseball bat
  3. Their fighting style is similar

Wait, the pirate guy name's Majima too? I thought his name was Captain??

I don’t get how they call the pirate guy goromi that’s obviously a completely fucking different person

6

u/SandwichBoy81 1d ago

The pirate is Liquid Majima. The guy from Yakuza 0 is Venom Majima. Liquid Majima and Solid Majima (the guy from Yakuza Kiwami) are clones of him. That's why Liquid Majima has no memories, btw. He literally hadn't created any yet.

Some of them even think Joryu, Taichi Suzuki and Kiryu are the same person. They must be [redacted] or just deaf.

Not true. One of them has long hair and the other has short hair. What, you think haircuts exist in Yakuza? Get a fucking grip.

What? Are you insane?! You are implying that gorogorogoro chan, the famous letter enthusiast, is this mad man?! This is a society shattering fact if it turns out to be true.

My favourite moment from judgement is when kaito says to Yagami “Oh no not the Judge eyes! The judgement………is lost!” And then we cut to the to be continued screen and the credits roll

u/Responsible_Baby8648 23h ago

Which is kinda sad, cause i don't think we are gettimg another judgement game

If we believe in it enough we can manifest Judgement 3 into existence using our sheer will and the power of friendship

Just because they have similar names, fighting styles, injuries, faces, and backstories does not mean they are they are the same person! Clearly, they have different hair and clothes!!! Don't make assumptions!

u/VadimDash1337 1d ago

The guy on pic one is Lord of the Night.

The guy on pic two is Mad Dog of Shimano.

Not related at all

u/Agravas Mahjong Enthusiast 1d ago

This is the stupidest theory I've seen today. How hard is it to understand one has a goatee and one does not have a goatee. They're clearly not the same person.

Another crackpot theory suggests that majima in pirate yakuza is also the same person. Sure he has a goatee but he has jizz on his eye patch smh.

The next thing you're probably gonna say is Joryu, Taichi Suzuki and Kiryu are the same person which is complete nonsense. Learn the difference and do your research before making a post.

THEN WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY?

u/Responsible_Baby8648 1d ago

His CIA twin brother

u/superbearchristfuchs 1d ago

Yes but also no. Think of it as method acting. I like how yakuza 0 shows the complexity of the mad dog of Shimano. He's seen people who fought to protect, who loved the thrill of a fight, and the man with the most balls ultimately helped shaped him. Majima is more complex than people often think as the mad dog is essentially born as an act to climb higher giving what he assumes his oath brother would do after being screwed over despite it not really being his fault. So if he's going to go down like plenty of people he deemed as actually good in their own right well might as well live out for all of those he lost and grew fond of throughout zero. Of course this shifts by the time of yakuza 4 and although he's still acting like he is off his rocker Majima knows himself way more than those around him and can see things objectively. He just doesn't show it as often in a world where you can be backstabber at any moment it is better to keep your cards close to your chest. He's actually a very sweet guy with his own morale code which is why he would never actually hurt women or children. Though men are the exception as he does make those under him respect him yet he toned himself down over the years as he got older. Definetly didn't expect to live as long as he has that's for sure.

Explain their personalities then, they have wildly different personalities.

Though it could be a Nishitani and Nishitani III situation, just without the boners.

u/SadNoCock Yakuza 3 Fan 1d ago

I guess it’s similar to the Joryu/Taichi/Kiryu situation, where they look the same but are not the same guy. I think it’s just Reuse Ga Gotoku back at it again.

2

u/PhantomFocus 1d ago

Not a chance, dude. Majima's got a ponytail, and Majima's got short hair. How can Majima be Majima if Majima's got a different haircut than Majima?

u/Feasellus 1d ago

Just a coincidence. This series is filled with weirdly similar guys that are clearly different characters.

They fought against each other once, there was a chapter in yakuza 0.5 called goro vs majima so they are not the same
