What makes the Yakuza or Like a Dragon series from RGG and SEGA so unique? In addition to the Japanese setting that is used as a basis, it is also considered a series with a very different story approach. That as if contrary to the main story which often ends emotionally, dramatically, and also crazy on many occasions, Like a Dragon always presents super quirky side missions. We are talking about side missions that ask you to subdue a giant vacuum machine to meet a group of gangs who use diapers as their “official clothes”. Unfortunately, these things you will not find in the live-action Like a Dragon film from Prime Video later.
With the teaser already aired, of course there is a strong sense of curiosity about how the latest live-action film Like a Dragon from Prime Video will be adapted. Whether good or bad news for fans, this film adaptation is certain to be in the serious realm. In an interview with TheGamer, Kiryu actor – Ryoma Takeuchi emphasized that the focus of this film will be on the emotional elements between the characters involved in the story. Therefore, they will move away from the video game version a little, including the super weird side missions that Kiryu usually completes. He said this film adaptation will feel more realistic.
Prime Video’s Like a Dragon film adaptation is confirmed to be without the weird side mission stories of the video game version.
The live-action film Like a Dragon from Prime Video itself is planned to air in October 2024 for the first 3 episodes. What about you? Are you happy or disappointed with this decision?
