Ichiban goes to New York, gets a button just to say "I'm WALKIN' HERE", anyone he says it to becomes his friend or tries to fight him, no in between.

Ichiban goes to New York and has to fight the American mafia, who's leader is voiced by Michael Imperioli.

It is funny seeing it set in America and still drug free. Legitimately weird seeing crime media set in America without any.
LaD games are set in a universe where organized crime solely make money by small-time loansharking.

Every time a gun-using enemy tries to shoot Kiryu I'm like "go ahead, do it, better men than you have tried."

I wonder what the rest of the party's reactions are to things like Ichiban getting shanghaied into being a stuntman or Ichiban getting shanghaied into an escape room.

Like are Kiryu and Tomizawa just sitting on a bench trying to make awkward small talk while this happens.

The party also really likes grouping together when that attack happens so they all get it

Everyone deciding to walk over to each other made that robocop overworld boss a bigger pain in the rear end than it should've been.

Something kinda funny about this reveal happening in Chp8 when Chp10 is when they let you start doing bucket list stuff with Date that kind of pretend it never happened, like no one from Kiryu's past checks the internet I guess?

No one in Kiryu's entourage knows how to use the internet.

It's a genuine question how any of the yakuza families made money seeing as how there are twenty distinct Chinese and Korean crime organizations operating in Japan at any given time.

I wonder what Kiryu did with all his real estate money (I assume his real estate business blew up with the rest of Japan's economy two years later.) Maybe that's how the orphanage has kept afloat.

No I do not need to do it so I can have a 10,000,000 yen gold statue of myself one in Osaka and one for Tokyo.

Incorrect, I do indeed need to have golden statues of Kiryu and Majima that 40 years later end up on my sick resort island.

You think there are any old-timers in Kamurocho who remember when Kiryu literally owned half the neighborhood in the 80s?

I think someone earlier in the thread pointed this out but it was really funny that they had this convoluted rear end bootlegging and passport fraud scheme instead of a way more normal and real thing like meth which has been a problem in Hawaii for decades

Here are the things organized crime does to make money in Yakuza games:

- small time loan sharking
- real estate speculation
- human trafficking
- grifting the IJN 70 years after the IJN ceased to exist
- elaborate underground casinos
- passport fraud
- extorting homeless people

That's it.

No wonder the Tojo Clan was going under for five games straight.
