The dreaded Triangle Tug, that's what kids these day would call a "skill issue".

Also, even without the boost to Heat, you still didn't have enough green XP for Tiger Drop.

The secret being a hidden battleship finished after the war and then covered up is a profoundly stupid (affectionate) and ridiculous thing. Not the location though, the original was built in Kure which isn't quite in Onomichi, though close enough for creative license. Hirose (who'd be 85 at least at this point) being not very bright kid, getting bamboozled and manipulated into doing the dirty work by a completely amoral, ruthlessly self-serving rear end in a top hat like Kurusu (who'd be in his mid/late 90s now), however, is just sad. Least of all because of how realistic that is.

Hirose has some serious Tonberry energy the way he's sorta adorable but also will not stop walking toward you with a knife.

Honestly it wasn't really a fair fight for Hirose, he had no way to know Kiryu built up a resistance to knives due to the numerous years of being around Majima

At this point the secret is less "There's a giant half-finished battleship" and more "The government has been bribing Yakuza for decades to keep this battleship hidden", which while less likely to spark an international incident is certainly going to be lethal for any politician involved with it.

Except Daidoji wanted to have it destroyed in the 70s, which Kurusu didn't do just so he had some leverage over him. But yeah, this really is a case of it no longer being about the thing that's covered up, but about covering up the cover up.

Yeah, so now it's "This guy Daidoji has been blackmailed by yakuza for the past thirty years.", which is also super bad for him and his group.

It's not like this would be the first time. Women that have survived being in close proximity to a Yakuza protagonist while being plot relevant:

Makoto
Haruka
Kaoru (presumably alive in American)
Mama of New Serena

Plot-relevant dead women:
Yumi
Reina
Yasuko
Kiyomi

Too awesome to die:
Mama from Earth Angel
Yuki
Etsuko
Hana

It's a 50:50 chance.

That is in no small way why I'm so irritated by this. It's not just killing off another female character, it's killing off the single plot relevant one, again.

The Dragon Engine is just the best. It's what makes Yakuza 3 such a hard game to get into, going back to the PS3 era engine from Kiwami 2's Dragon engine goodness.
