I guess Poison Mistuo has never heard of a release form, huh?

Also, since the "strength" pose's glowing energy is clearly heat, has the series been holding out on some sort of Cute Energy mechanic? :v:

It seems kinda cruel to put a crane game in when you know your engine doesn't do physics well enough to handle bowling or pool.

Also...why did we bring Daigo again? The most helpful thing he's done is wheel away an ancient man.

To be fair, we did give him that knife.

By the way, the villains of the Majima Construction storyline (the guys in the really long cutscene) are all famous Japanese wrestlers; I know in one of the later games they had the top guys (at the time) from New Japan Pro Wrestling make cameos as well, though I don't know how involved they were in minigames.

I think in 0 they said Kazama was in jail on some bullshit gambling ring charge? And he was set up by one of the Dojima lieutenants (I can't remember if it was Kuze or Shibusawa).

The dragon engine seems to make it easier to deal with multiple enemies (if you're not stuck in the cornder) -- it looks like hits will connect with multiple people, and of course they'll all go flying in different directions.

I forgot, did the Florist actually give a reason why he left his son? Cause as much as Takashi is a dumb little poo poo, it doesn't really justify being a deadbeat dad.

According to Wikipedia, a Billiken is apparently also a charm doll made by a woman in Missouri..but also it somehow spread to Alaska and Japan?

And is the mascot for Saint Louis University sports teams :shrug:

Majima would never teach Haruka something as dangerous as how to shoot a gun!

He'd teach her how to knife fight and buy her a butterfly knife. And then give her a hard hat for her special field trip to Majima Construction.

That was...a weird thing to require for the story. Couldn't they just have had us check in on Majima or something? (though I guess Haruka wouldn't be horribly keen on going to go hand out with her first kidnapper...)

A hell of emotional whiplash from "Kiryu gets bear hugged by a yakuza adult baby" to "once again, someone has their parent [who they didnt know was their parent until five minutes ago] die in their arms at the Millennium Tower."

Also, no matter how hard the story tries to sell Kiryu and Sayama having romantic tension, I'm just not buying it.

Wait, what was that about Mr. Libido being a real person? :gonk:

That sure was an ending...not sure why Kiryu and Kaoru suddenly thought Haruka would be ok watching them decide to die making out but I guess everything turned out alright in the end?

And on a better note, now it's Majima time!

Edit: I think the saddest thing though is that Ryuji and Kaoru never got time to be siblings; he seemed genuinely happy to have a little sister.

Yeah seriously he could have at least killed Uematsu by stabbing or with a baseball bat or something so it was at least on brand.

Man it must suck to be Kashiwagi when your main ally against the newbies is Goro 'I do what I want' Majima. He probably just wanted to hand the family over and retire but then Nishiki backstabbed the family and died and Kiryu hosed off to whereever.

Are there no substories in Majima's chapters? Really seems like they could have done a bit more with him.

I like to think that there is a perfectly normal way to lower the desk but Majima doesn't know about it; he only discovered the monitor room when one day he hit his head on the desk (or smashed someone else's head on it) and it started going down, and since it works, he just does that. That's why he's always wearing the hard hat. Who knows how many secret rooms can be found by knocking your head against things?

New prize information 📢

We are working hard to produce stuffed toys for prizes!

In-game prizes become real prizes?

"Bun-chan", who is familiar with the UFO catcher prize that can be played in the "Ryu ga Gotoku" series, will appear as a real stuffed toy!

Please look forward to the follow-up report ♪

Maybe someday we can hope for Brittany or Kyon-bo?

I like how Kiryu bases the stuffed animal answer entirely on the fact that he sees girls with them on tv shows. It makes it seem like he has never interacted with a girl in person in his life and honestly that is how Kiryu should be.

How do you get the girl's moods back up after you use them? I feel like there has to be a way to not have to run single people or .....'dog's night' to give them a rest.

Ah, the classic "take off her glasses, put her hair down, and gasp" makeover. :rolleeyes: To be honest, I don't even recognize Yuki in her hostess form.

Also I refuse to believe that Kiryu would be perceptive enough to pick up Shoko hinting that she has a crush on him. That poo poo should have gone right over his head.

Just write your own ending to the cabaret minigame -- you can even incluse mad scientist Yuki and Kana the Ascended Being. :v:
