KIRYU-CHAN! Explanation A phrase Majima says whenever he encounters Kiryu.The meme is used whenever something gets a little too wacky for comfort. Yakuza is a serious crime drama Explanation Yakuza main plots are very serious crime dramas, but side activities and substories are invariably goofy as all hell.That said, his Heat Actions are as brutal as ever, including one where he graphically snaps his opponent's neck, and the other where he jams a baseball bat's handle to a mook's mouth and violently kicks it so hard that said mook has their gums and blood fly out, leading to the appropriation of the "Kiryu's never killed" meme. Explanation Yakuza 0 is a prequel set before Majima's first kill, with the onus of his plot being his reluctance to go through with a hit. Explanation A variation of the above meme, where people replace the "X" with whatever somehow not-lethal method Kiryu used to dispatch his enemies, such as: "Kiryu didn't kill him, gravity did." "Kiryu didn't kill him, the bullets did." Or "Kiryu didn't kill them, the explosion did."
Incidentally, this is a shared meme with the series' Japanese fandom, where Kiryu's line "I swear I never killed anyone" from an early 0 cutscene is often jokingly brought up whenever Kiryu is shown doing stuff that very much looks like murder.
This meme is often coupled with the infamous twist in Yakuza 4 and you get people talking about "rubber nails", "rubber knives", and "rubber explosions" to explain away his definitely-not-lethal escapades. Explanation Although Kiryu has Thou Shalt Not Kill as part of his moral code, fans have a field day pointing out the many things he does that should prove otherwise, such as using a gun in the car chase shooting sequences, using a waiter as a human shield in the first game, or heat actions that would easily kill someone in real life, such as throwing people off buildings, shoving nails into their mouths and many more.
