He gets so in trouble that Kiryu is instinctually drawn there to resolve any issues. (Via punching.) It's perfect security.

Kiryu might be a nice guy but he's still part of the Yakuza who themselves deal in human trafficking irl, amongst other things.

The whole "man in dress"-cliche was such a staple of transphobic jokes from the 80s on that it doesn't particularly matter if the Pleasure King is trans or not, it's just an awful, unfunny joke that should've been consigned to the dustbin of history long ago.

There's a subquest in Yakuza 1 that has the same premise, Kiwami tried to clean it up but its still there.

Surprising amount of drama in this game about Pocket Circuit.

I do wish in games where you had an easy infinite money hose like Kiryu does here, you could do something with it to help with money problems others are having. I get why you don't just Press X to Solve Problem With Money because it would turn so many sidequests into that, but also let Side-Content-Kiryu be something more than a weird money hoarder who occasionally grinds up and snorts yen like cocaine.

It's just something you learn to accept across all games, like over in GTA you can have infinite money but the main story acts like you are broke.

We could give him money, but Marina would make us take it out of the butthole fund, and that means less money going up our butthole. Sorry man nothing I can do :shrug:

I don't think it'll ever stop bothering me, unfortunately. Party member starts complaining about money issues in a Persona game and I want to scream at the monitor that we have plenty of yen that they helped earn, please take your share.

No, Marina, look, we bought Pocket Circuit as an investment, just like the pachinko parlors, convenience stores, and ramen shops.

Oh as the series progresses you'll see worse, trust me.

and Kiryu doesn't follow the ACAB mindset either, keep that in mind as well.

Okay I admit I was using a build guide by the end. Y0 is largely very good, but there's so much of it and my patience with the game was running out.

Thing is, Pocket Circuit is more of a puzzle to be solved than an actual racing minigame, you are required to have the perfect build to win the last few races and anything less will have you eating poo poo until you do.
