All four Wude meanings task has been cleared.
What's Ryo's biggest weakness atm is "Steel pipe" it's super effective, (especially in the back).

He should inoculate himself by being hit with bigger and bigger steel pipes until he is immune.

Dan done

im more suprised he his tanking someone hitting him
in the head with a Steel pipe , and walks with 0 injuries after lol

This is my speculation but i believe that Lan Di is her Brother.

That's an interesting speculation, she never stated that he died and he could have adopted a new name so him being led astray in that way is a possibility.

well this theory was debunked a long time ago already. there are comic strips of shenmue(like concept arts that you can unlock in the games). There it shows her brother as an adult talking about her sister when he is in the Chi yo men gang. he looks very different to Lan Di.

Ryu didn't even flinch

why not step bro ? ;)

LOL Ryou really has no sense of danger but he seems to recover pretty quickly at least. Ryou is so buff though, his mucles look bigger than before lol.

Wasn't Ren looking for Ryou before? I thought he'd be more excited about trying to fight him rather than use him as a scapegoat. But I guess he values money more than a good fight.

Interesting to see Xiuying helping Ryou out, but seems like they just can't come to an agreement, I'm sure this isn't the last time we see her though.

At this point Ren is unaware that Ryo is the one he's looking for since he never saw his face.

That person who defeated those people at the back is suspicious all he thinks is money

For those of you that are only watching the anime, please play the video game too, you will love it!

did they ever port the first two into PC, like on Steam? because from everything i've read only the third one made it to Windows. the first two were Sega Dreamcast exclusive.

Sega released Shenmue 1&2 remastered on all platforms(including PC/steam) in 2018. you can get them for a cheap cent :)

Shenmue 1 and 2 are on Steam and last gen consoles

Lol the chase scene, but without the QTEs

He got knocked out twice by a crow bar lmao

heavily underrated show.

The Wulinshu, and the paper that dropped out of a book, it's the famous Chawan Sign code that Shenmue fans will recognize: Heaven, Dragon, Earth, Friend. A way of communications between masters of martial arts schools, that if communicated wrongly can have dire consequences.

The first hidden location of Man Mo Temple from his stint at Dou Jiang Diner, but that was a mistake that got Ryo assaulted. How Fangmei dragged Ryo all the way back to the temple is a godsend.

The next place at Zhangyu's Barber Shop, Zhangyu tries to test Ryu of his reflexes, and though he was once a martial artist, he is not willing to share the secrets of the Wude. Oh well, but at Heavenly Tea Shop, he's able to find a lead that quickly disperses due to a gang revolt. Good thing that with the hidden help of Master Xiuying, he's able to meet Zhu Yuanda's aide Shuqin, and the next point: Ren of Heavens.

Another assault, and this time Ryo lands at Wong's hideout, to be given a Zippo which is their callsign for Ren. But being the gullible man Ryo is, Ren is able to make a run with the money, and Ryo is determined reagrdless. And with that, he's learned the 3rd of 4 Wude: Dan. Apprently they reshuffled the game's events, but this feels fine to me.

With all 4 Wude mastered, all that's left is Master Xiuying to reveal the next corner, and Ryo bades farewell knowing the seeds of revenge in his heart, something that Xiuying doesn't want to press knowing her history with her sister Ziming

why are episodes this week, so good?

How do these crap shows make it to the TV stage

lol the only crappy thing here is your opinion

Shenmue is a legendary franchise.

Carefullness being the last Wude learned, I think Ryou should follow that by temporarily pausing his journey and pay a visit to the damn doctor with the amount of steel pipes he has tanked from behind.

Lol Ryo's weakness: a metal rod to the back smh. He need to train in spacial awareness and more speed. He got to go fast like Sonic! 👀

Ryu with the glowing eyes!

When Ryo got whooped in the park who took him home or saved him? Xiuying? I remember in the games there was a QTE for that part and Ryo whooped those mofos. Loved the episode. Really loving the anime. Lol classic Ren tricking Ryo. "Oh shit!"

Brooo this episode was so good!!!
I guess we will finally stop seeing Ryo falling for every single trap he gets on his way XD

People still seem to be totally sleeping on this.

A pretty entertaining episode overall. Our hero has learned all 4 wude -- but still seems to be missing the underlying point.

Xiuying surely wasn't happy that he has walked out to do something he is not ready to do -- just like her big brother.

Damn, Ryou sure has made some good friends in a foreign land to get knocked out twice and still not find himself on the receiving end of anything TOO terrible. Welp, we've discovered ONE wide at least...

This was a good alright

Really needs to stop getting hit in the head with a metal pole lol

That Ryo is one of the dumbest anime protagonists I have ever seen to keep failing for the same shit time and time again.

I spy with my eyes Yu Char Kway with porridge served for breakfast.
