Like a Dragon: Yakuza Trailer Reveals Prime Video's Adaptation of the Sega Favorite

As a long-time fanatic of the Yakuza series, I must say that my anticipation for “Like a Dragon: Yakuza” is at an all-time high! The trailer has certainly piqued my interest and left me eager to see how they’ll adapt Kazuma Kiryu’s story for the screen.


Towards the end of this month, Amazon Prime Video will debut the adaptation titled “Like a Dragon: Yakuza“, based on the cherished Sega series. A fresh sneak peek at the show has been unveiled, providing a more detailed glimpse into its portrayal of Kazuma Kiryu’s story, played by actor Takeuchi Ryoma in the series. The head of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, Masayoshi Yokoyama, is overseeing the production as an executive producer, and he has hinted that the show will offer “raw realism”, which seems evident from the trailer, whether it’s appealing or not!

So far, reception to the first trailer has been a bit mixed. While some Yakuza fans are eager to see how the series adapts and alters Kiryu’s story for a new medium, others are expressing some early concerns. The biggest issue right now is that the trailer implies that the show will avoid a lot of the humor and silliness that the games are known for. The absurdity is something fans have come to embrace, but the trailer seems to be playing the concept straight. At this time, it might be a little early to judge, and fans might want to give the series a chance and see how it plays out. It’s possible the series will be able to strike a balance that pleases both fans of the games and newcomers, but it’s easy to understand why there might be some concerns.
