They don't have any real ties beyond belonging to the same family. Majima simply recognizes Kiryu as the most challenging and amusing guy in town to scrap with.
for those of you playing kiwami right now, important thing about majima everywhere
once you max out a rank it essentially triggers a "rank up event" type encounter, and you cannot progress in majima everywhere or encounter him until you complete that event and officially rank up. usually you get notified about it in some way
I spent a very long time wondering what the deal was and why it stopped before I looked it up
As far as I can tell almost everything you would normally do in a yakuza game has a chance of resulting in a majima fight
even already fighting!
It blew my mind early on when
Kiryu is trying to escape the funeral, and one of the guys to appear is Majima.
I think I had a full meter and just clobbered him in one blow, though.
Another point later on, he was absolutely relentless during encounters, and every time I'd go recharge, I was drawn into another scene, and it went on back and forth like that for a while, and was getting annoying when he just stopped and I could finally continue the story.
It was about that point I decided to quit holding back.
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
I said the same thing and finally was like "Ok fine I'll progress the story because I need to find more people to work for my real estate biz and I guess that progressing the story is the only way."
Then the end of Chapter 6 happened and how the fuck do they keep getting me to care SO MUCH about the plot before yanking me over to the other character EVERY TIME.
When I left Majima's last chapter I was like "Ugh I just wanna know what happens next to him SO BAD why do I have to go back to Kiryu" and now I'm like "IM OVER THIS MAJIMA STUFF WHAT HAPPENS TO KIRYU NEXT"
This game is so freaking great.

the trick to that is just farm majimas. it's kind of a pain but if you go in and out of a building it resets him and you can just keep looping until he's nearby, and all you need to do is look at him to tell if he's what you want before you start the fight
i finished kiwami last night and it made me like the ending to 5 more, retroactively. after that i finished getting majima to SSS and finishing the upgrades to dragon of dojima. i kind of want to do a few side stories but having to contend with "random boss battles, anywhere" is kind of.... a lot. im sorry majima please go away
I also thought Dragon style would start to be somewhat usable after unlocking the full rush combo and heat actions but Nope, still just a shittier Brawler and will likely continue to be so until i get real deep into the tree and finish komaki
i never particularly liked the dragon style basic combos, but the komaki tiger drop or whatever is game breaking so i just cheesed out everything once i got that
Dragon isn't even generating heat for me yet
Like at all
Granted I'm only at rank F still
Dragon does not generate Heat nor let you use Heat actions until you unlock the Dragon Heat ability, which I believe is get to Rank C and then beat up a wandering Slugger.
It can't be an event Slugger or a hiding Slugger, either. Grrr.
They're Chinese, not Japanese, but hong kong era John Woo films like The Killer and Hard Boiled are A+ top notch.
A Colt Is My Passport is a cool as fuck japanese noir crime thriller, if you don't mind 60's era film pacing. If you like Kurosawa, you'll probably be fine.
Battles without Honour and Humanity is great as long as you're cool with nihilsm and violence.

A Colt is my Passport is the one with the cool gunfight in that wasteland at the end, right?

I thought it would come up in 0 but they never cross paths til the very very end
Is there a timejump at the very end of 0? cause in that little scene Majima already knows and recognizes him
And not just fights, Majima can challenge you to mini games and side activities.

there's 7 years between the end of 0 and the beginning of 1, and 17 years between the end of 0 and the majority of 1

Hey I wanna go back to this because I also super want to know what movies to check out
Other than, I guess, the actual live action Yakuza adaptation

I have put more time into the cabaret and I rescind this
my wife said she came near to divorcing me cause of the cabaret song
Or you could throw up in a cup and pour it into your eyes and ears

Because yeah that's a heck of a film
