The 'Kazuma Kiryu Has Never Killed Anyone' meme is a satirical take on the narrative dissonance found throughout the Yakuza (Like a Dragon) video game series. Despite the protagonist engaging in brutal street fights, using rocket launchers, and performing lethal Heat Actions, the games often insist that Kiryu maintains a moral code against killing. This irony became a fan-favorite joke across Reddit and gaming forums, where players pair the 'no-kill' claim with footage of Kiryu's most violent and clearly fatal gameplay moments. It perfectly captures the absurdity of video game logic where story and gameplay mechanics often exist in completely different realities.
