10 Optional Bosses Who Kicked Your Ass In Seconds

Yakuza 0 features four elite bosses known collectively as Mr. Shakedown, a quartet of improbably gigantic men who all have the same fighting style and the same end goal: kick your ass and take your money.

Mr. Shakedown wanders around the map and can at least be easily fled from, but those who stand their ground will basically be throwing down with a literal mountain of a man.

What Mr. Shakedown lacks in speed he easily compensates for with sheer demoralising power, able to make short work of both Kiryu and Majima in just a few easy hits, taking your cash as insult added to injury.

Unless you've honed your combat chops and come to the fight with both an inventory full of healing items and a few weapons, this is basically fruitless, given that it's easy to get one-hit-killed by certain attacks. Worse still, the more times you beat Mr. Shakedown the more health he amasses.
