Yagami Does Not Appear In Like A Dragon Gaiden, But Kaito Does
The Akame connection offer the bulk of the plot ’s side level inLike A Dragon Gaiden , as Kiryu , acting under the assumed name of Joryu , aids Sotenbori ’s gob - of - all - trades and protector of the homeless person in defending her hometown . Since the main tale actually requires Kiryu to lift the Akame connection to level 10 to advance the tale ( which was arguably simply to pad the game ’s short duration ) , players would be wise to pick out from Akame ’s exceptional missions , calledAkame connection Requests . These net far more points than the random favors Kiryu can do for the townsfolk in the connection ’s name , and some offer major immediate payment reward as well .
Akame internet points are want to purchase advanced skills , and at higher rank , the internet will add a store that sell unique items , so raising the internet level has multiple benefit .
Kiryu was originally allied with the Dojima family , which , like the Matsugane family was a part of the Tojo Clan , one of the largest organize law-breaking groups throughout most of the early Yakuza series games .
After portion out information , the two actualize they are bothworking toward the same ends and team up up to solve the event . Kiryu also later gather Kaito ’s supporter Toru Higashi . Kaito and Higashi are both x - yakuza , like Kiryu , formerly allied with the Matsugane family . Though the absence of a Yagami appearing is disappointing , having Kiryu work alongside Kaito and Higashi might be more appropriate since they share the same background in organized offense . Yagami is an attorney turned private police detective who occasionally still dons a suit and tie for the courtroom . There is a large gulf in ethics and priority between Kiryu and Yagami , but Kaito is an ideal partner .
Kaito Has Common Ground With Like A Dragon Gaiden’s Kiryu
The originalJudgmentdistanced itself fromYakuzaintentionally , avoiding cameo and crossover . Now that the legal drama and detective series has firmly established itself , fanservice like the Kaito cameo inLike A Dragonis more appropriate . Kiryu and Kaito identify the street gang Gehenna as the responsible company , but twists and surprises keep participant estimate throughout the mission . Kiryu is a unfeignedly honourable person , pertain with the well - being of others , butLost Judgmentin particular made it clear that Yagami prioritizes the constabulary over apotheosis of right and ill-timed . With their deal desktop in the yakuza , Kiryu and Kaito both realize the law does not always precede to ethical outcome .
Like A Dragon Gaiden admit the “ immersive cabaret , ” a divisive add-on where real actresses portray air hostess who engage in flirtation for money .
Since Kiryu and Kaito have more common ground , and are both more ethically minded than Yagami , their squad - up has born chemical science . A true crosswalk would still be welcome , but if Yagami was to meet either Kiryu or Ichiban , the results would likely be more antipathetic . InLike A Dragon Gaiden : The Man Who Erased His NameKiryu goes to great lengths to protect the hoi polloi he cares about , regardless of the legality of his methods , but Yagami ’s myopic adherence to the natural law would in all probability make him butt end oral sex with theYakuzaheroes .
