* For the final battle of the game, we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y8sGXN9duM "Deadly Struggle"]]. A cornered, desperate and furious Shishido, fighting for his way of life of the Yakuza, vs Kiryu, fighting to finally free himself at long last by destroying it altogether. The immensely heavy and angry-sounding guitar here perfectly expresses the feeling of the two men as they duke it out with everything they have. A much angrier song compared to Aizawa's "Battle for the Dream", which was chasing a glorious goal, whereas here it's fighting to save or destroy the cinders that remain of the Yakuza.
** During the final phase of the battle as Shishido and Kiryu's duel takes them up to the overhang of the building, the immensely somber [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMmCfLyo4lw "HAKANAKI YUME/Fleeting Dream"]] plays as their fight, and the Yakuza itself begins to draw to a close.

Yakuza. During the final phase of the battle as Shishido and Kiryu's duel takes them up to the overhang of the building, the immensely somber [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMmCfLyo4lw "HAKANAKI YUME/Fleeting Dream"]] plays as their fight, and the Yakuza itself begins to draw to a close.

* The credits theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exwYxjguKJQ "I'm Fading Away"]] is a similarly melancholy rock ballad that shares a {{Leitmotif}} with "Fleeting Dream", its lyrics being symbolic of the life Kiryu's had to leave behind and the regrets of giving up his life and name to ensure his family's future rather than sharing the present with them.

* [[https://youtu.be/ATVFM7nQbXs?si=LZ02KipuzNQeiN4Z "Backscratcher of Coins"]] is an EDM track that plays during certain substory battles. It's also notable for being a remix of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV''[='=]s battle theme, with elements of [[VideoGame/Persona3 "Aria of the Soul"]] mixed in. Fanon seems to agree that Ichiban is so much of an RPG nerd that [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn this is actually playing in his head while he's fighting]].

* "Receive You" returns with a vengeance in this entry with two remixes, both used in battles against the old guard of the series. The first, [[https://youtu.be/VV1lOo-T15I "Receive You The Hyperactive"]], is heard during the fight against Majima and Saejima. It's high-octane and chaotic, with a trace of metal, befitting two blood brothers with wildly varying personalities. For increased nostalgia value, it is specifically a remix of [[https://youtu.be/wUqUSe25na4 "Receive and Bite You"]], Majima's boss them from Yakuza 4, when Saejima and Majima rinally reunite after so many years apart. It's only fitting that it should play again when they join forces to take on Ichiban's crew. The other one, [[https://youtu.be/S21u4bmFJmc "Rolling Eyes Fall Down The Dragon Wall"]], is used during the boss battle against Kiryu, overwhelming and powerful like the Dragon of Dojima.

* The final Long Battle of the game is set to "[[https://youtu.be/10yZC5Ysc3s Clay Doll On The Cradle]]", a very frenetic and fast-paced track that ''oozes'' desperation as Kiryu, being the OneManArmy that he is, storms the Toto Hospital to stop Mine from killing Daigo, kicking the shit out of Andre Richardson along the way.

As an aside, it's also Hidenori Shoji's (the composer of the track, and a longtime composer for the ''LAD'' series since the start) [[CreatorsFavorite favorite track]] that he's ever composed (of which there are ''many'', including on this very page).

** No game is complete without Majima's version of "Receive You", so [[https://youtu.be/3wiJPhi3_nU "Receive You The Subtype"]] delivers more than enough, being used as the Mad Dog style theme.

* Ichiban, Kiryu, Tomi, and Chitose infiltrating District 5 and fighting a bunch of gangster runway models wouldn't be complete without [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfga7wvjX5U "Defiant Charm"]], a banging EDM track that combines the elegance of the Barracudas' counterfeit fashion show and an undertone of menace from the fact that their raid is now actively being brutally challenged by the Barracudas. One gets the feeling that the DJ and MC of the whole show was even playing the track during the fight to keep the ambiance going.
