Judgment, originally released in Japan as JUDGE EYES: æ»ç¥žã�®é�ºè¨€ (Shinigami no Yuigon, lit. Wills of Death) is a "courtroom thriller" Action-Adventure game by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the same studio behind the critically acclaimed Like a Dragon series. It released on the PlayStation 4 in Japan and for the Asia-Pacific region in December 13, 2018, with a Western release to follow on June 25th, 2019. While Japanese sales for the game stopped in March 2019 due to Pierre Taki's arrest, Sega announced in May 2019 that a new version of the game will be released on July 18, 2019, with the new character model and Japanese voice actor for Kyohei Hamura.note The scandal over Taki's arrest would not have an impact on the game's Western release. It is a Gaiden Game to the main Like a Dragon games, ignoring almost all of that series' plot elements in favor of telling its own detective story set in the fictional Tokyo district of Kamurocho.Judgment places players in the role of Private Detective Takayuki Yagami (portrayed by SMAP alumnus Takuya Kimura). Once a promising defense attorney, his reputation would be permanently tainted after one of his old clients, acquitted of a previous criminal charge, was caught by police for murdering his girlfriend. As such, he's forced to work as a PI in order to make ends meet and take on odd jobs from time to time. When an everyday case leads to a link between his past and a serial killer, Yagami is thrust into the murky world of the yakuza in order to find out the truth of who set him up.To get to the bottom of this deadly mystery, Yagami will need to use every tool and skill as a PI at his disposal; tailing suspects and chasing them down if the need arises, taking incriminating photos with his phone and remote-controlled drones, cornering persons of interest with damning evidence, and fighting his way to the truth — through brute force, if necessary.Judgment is the first major release of the Yakuza series after Yakuza 6, which concluded the story of the series' main protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, and represents a sharp contrast in narrative: while previous games focused on characters who lived outside of the law, Judgment has players in the role of a private detective attempting to solve crimes. This carries over into the gameplay, as well; in addition to investigating crimes and pursuing criminals, players must also take care to stay within the bounds of the law — even if it means running from the authorities.Beyond the new characters and story, the core of the Yakuza series is ever-present in Judgment as players delve into a hard-hitting criminal drama story, while fighting off ruffians on the regular with both martial arts and environmental objects. Players can also pursue more light-hearted sidequests and engage in numerous mini-games, from arcade games to drone racing.The official website is here.The sequel, Lost Judgment, was released worldwide on September 24th, 2021, a franchise first for a Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio game, across the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. This time around, Yagami travels to Ijincho to solve a brand-new case. | |

Cure for Cancer | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_1104ca3f | comment |
Cure for Cancer: What the game ultimately centers around. AD-9 was intended as a full-on cure to Alzheimer's, but while it was, indeed, fantastic on mice, it was incredibly lethal to humans, painfully so. As such, Yoji Shono, the drug's creator, sought to perfect it. Unfortunately, the toxins that comprised it couldn't be removed. Dozens died in Shono's desperate, unsanctioned tests, forcing him to dispose of the victims. | |

| Judgment (Video Game) / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Yagami rescues all of his potential girlfriends in the side cases that lead up to his being able to date them: He rescues Tsukino from the Twisted Trio, a gang of perverts who keep sexually harassing her. He rescues Sana from being raped by a crooked music producer. He rescues Amane from a man who tried to murder her over her predictions of calamity disrupting his life. He rescues Nanami from a stalker. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Compared to Yakuza games the main story has a more serious and gritty vibe to it, Serial Killer takes the eyes out of their victims, guns are being pushed in the streets of Kamurocho by street gangs and the yakuza are not lionized like Kiryu and Daigo. The only active Yakuza shown to be somewhat decent is Matsugane, and he became a figurehead because of it since he didn't want to see what his underlings need to do to bring in money. Even the side story has adultery and terror portrayed more seriously than when Kiryu has to handle it. | |

Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_1888979e | comment |
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: A major theme of this game is that no amount of good that comes out of being a Well-Intentioned Extremist justifies the horrible crimes they do, and that they only self-righteously think of themselves as heroes. Morita turned a blind eye to the Mole's crimes over his Freudian Excuse, which earns him a scathing strip-down by Yagami and an immediate dismissal from the legal system once his actions are revealed. Hamura was simply looking for money to aid the Matsugane Family's finances, which ended up with him strong-arming the patriarch into effectively giving him control of the family. Kido is being blackmailed with the threat of his reputation and what AD-9 could do to it, both good and bad. The instant it's made clear that AD-9 has no hope of success, he decides it's no longer worth it and testifies. Ichinose couldn't care less if AD-9 saves the world as long as the ADDC continues to operate, granting him a good buck and the reputation to go along with it. And Kuroiwa killed left and right as the Mole just so that he'd go down in history as a hero. As for Shono, he's the worst one out of all of them, given that he could've avoided most of the mess he made if he wasn't such a Narcissist and let someone else look into AD-9. By the end of the game, it becomes clear that he's fully convinced that AD-9 could still be fixed even after three years of fruitless work, going so far as to inject himself with a dose to prove his point. Even the Side Cases tie into the theme. A series of Side Cases has Yagami attempt to catch a Mad Bomber who claims to want to show the people of Kamurocho how fragile their security is. However, the whole reason he's doing this in the first place is because he got fired from a security firm three months prior, after he proposed a complete revamp of the city's security that got rejected for being too expensive. As such, it's obvious to both Yagami and the player that the only thing he really cares about is Revenge and proving that he's right. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The dresses Saori can wear during Chapter 7 shout out to several hostesses in Yakuza history. In particular, you can pick any of the dresses worn by the hostesses in Yakuza Kiwami 2, and even a dress based off Yuki's, with the description saying that it was once worn by a legendary Osaka hostess. If Yagami wanders around Kamurocho, you can see that parts of the Little Asia district are cordoned off from the public due to reconstruction projects. Yagami can also end up involved in a case revolving around Ono Michio, or more specifically his new actor, who feels he's inadequate compared to Kiryu's portrayal of the mascot. An optional conversation reveals that the mainline series protagonist's propensity for finding lost locker keys scattered throughout the various cities used to open coin lockers containing all sorts of contraband was actually the work of a smuggling ring that the city only recently cracked down on. | |

Cue a Dirty Old Man trying to look up the girl's skirt only to get bitch-slapped for his troubles, all in the background as Yagami is celebrating his very well-earned victory. Both the minigame and this particular event also carry over into the sequel as well. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: One variation of "EX Traffic Safety" involves a mook trying to punch Yagami and missing. The momentum carries him into the side of a nearby car, which said mook starts vandalizing. The car's occupants (revealed to be Yakuza goons) pull him into the car and drive off with the poor sap still inside. What happens is never shown, but judging by Yagami's reaction it probably isn't good. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: The Mystery Writer chain of side quests is one for Takumi Katagiri giving it out. In each one, he puts the manuscript to his latest detective novel in a safe requiring a puzzle to solve. After completing all three, the author reveals that the novels were intended to be a trilogy and says if anyone ever published any of the other two beforehand, he would terminate both of the previous book deals and retire from the public eye. Since the client figured it out and waited for part three, he has now decided to work with his company for life. He did this because he felt like that nobody actually cared about what he was writing anymore regardless of how much or how little effort he put into it and that the publishers didn't even bother reading his books, mindlessly publishing them regardless of their content: by making the books into a trilogy without mentioning it to anyone else, he made sure that any potential publishers would give his books the respect they're due by refusing to publish an incomplete trilogy before knowing for sure that they can acquire the rights for the rest of them as well. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: More sweet than bitter. Shono and Kuroiwa are dead with their crimes revealed. The Medical Institute (and by extension the ADDC) will be shut down with every member of The Conspiracy on their way to jail, and Kajihira will soon be on trial for his scam. Many innocent (and not so innocent) people like Emi died (sometimes very painful deaths) for a drug that was never going to be anything more than poison. Okubo was proven innocent, but that doesn't change the fact that he spent 3 years on death row. Ayabe and Hamura had their crimes brought up to the world, meaning they'll probably go on trial for those crimes and will be found guilty. The Matsugane Family and Kyorei Clan have been gutted of their leaders and potential successors, leaving it dubious those families will ever fully recover. Kaito will never be a Yakuza again, and Yagami feels like if he goes back to being a lawyer, what happened to Okubo will happen all over again if he stops looking for the truth. But the duo stay best friends and continue being detectives. Doesn't take away that every criminal act was All for Nothing, but at least life goes on. | |

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_44989f6f | comment |
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: While Shono testing AD-9 on Waku was extremely illegal and unethical, it was his belief that repeat testing of the fatal drug that gets to Yagami, because as he points out, if he really cared about curing Alzheimer's, he should've had no problem letting someone else take over his research before even thinking of murdering dozens of people to keep testing it. Of course, Shono reveals he was a raving narcissist who rejected his own results. | |

Honey Trap: One of the sidequests is named this trope. A comedian named Hyuga's career is ruined when a girl he dated said she was underage and asks Yagami to find the truth. It turns out to be a plot by his jealous costar Higurashi to tarnish his career and that she truly is legal age. In Chapter 12, Saori gets to be this by posing as a reporter and seducing Kido. The team then uses footage of the incident as blackmail to lure him to Kamurocho. | |

| Judgment (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Anyone injected with AD-9 experiences severe pain in the head, tremors, and has their eyes become extremely bloodshot while their irises are stained a haunting purple color. This is why the Mole/Kuroiwa's victims had their eyes gouged out; Shono was too full of himself to let it slip that AD-9 was a failure. It's only when he injects himself with the drug that he realizes his failure. | |

The Conspiracy | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_5b8c285b | comment |
The Conspiracy: The main villains of the game are revealed to be part of one, centered around a drug that is meant to cure Alzheimer's. While a relatively noble goal, issues arise when the drug is discovered to be fatal in humans. With billions in government yen riding on the drug's success, its lead developer resorts to hiring professional criminals to kidnap terminally ill patients and yakuza thugs for off-the-record human experimentation in order to further "perfect" the drug, as well as using these same professionals to assassinate anyone who gets too close to the truth. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The story and a couple of EX Actions emphasize Yagami trying his best to not actually kill anyone, but you can still throw people off buildings and stuff them in microwaves all you want as usual. They won't really die. Parts of the story emphasize that Yagami is poor, at one point being 3 months behind in rent. While in gameplay, it's likely you'll have a million yen (if not more). Nanami, one of the girls that Yagami can date, is staunchly against cheating due to past experience. However, there are no consequences for Yagami if you decide to date another girl or give yourself a harem while dating her. | |

Interface Screw: Drinking alcohol until Yagami reaches his limit affects how he walks.

If you get grabbed during the fight against Shin Amon, he will steal Yagami's phone. Which means you don't get to pause the game anymore. | |

Meaningful Name | |

Meaningful Name: Chapter 1's title, "Three Blind Mice". Yagami and Kaito investigate the case of three dead yakuza wakashus with their eyes taken out. Chapter 4's title, "Skeletons in the Closet". Many secrets are revealed, yes, but the real kicker is Yagami finding Shintani's corpse stuffed in his office closet. Similarly, the final chapter's title is "Down Came The Rain". Much of the game's final moments take place during a storm, most notably the final battle against Kuroiwa. The title is also a thematic and direct reference to the nursery rhyme "Itsy Bitsy Spider", with its simple allegory for picking yourself up and pushing onward to victory when all seems lost. ("Down came the rain and washed the spider out...") | |

Luck-Based Mission: One of the friends you make, Yuriko Tachibana, gives you mahjong based challenges that depending on your hands can turn into these, as mahjong is a competitive tile-drawing game with a fair amount of luck involved. Completing her Friendship is a relatively simple matter, but she'll continue issuing challenges with more difficult to get hands, the last of which being an exceedingly rare Nine Gates hand. Fortunately, this particular goal is a subversion in that you can purchase a cheat item from another location that will give Yagami Nine Gates immediately. Each time you complete a challenge you get a cheat item to help you in different gambling games. | |

Foreshadowing | |

Foreshadowing: During a flashback to Okubo's murder trial, in which he was accused of killing the person whose corpse he disposed of, one of the incorrect responses that the player can give while Yagami is questioning the prosecution's witness is to accuse said witness of having committed said crime. This turns out to be correct later on, though the player would have no way of knowing that at this point in the game. Five-Second Foreshadowing: During the final chapter, we see a group of goons ambush Kuroiwa followed by Yagami and co. heading to the scene after the fact. As they do, we can hear a news report on the event playing in the background, and astute listeners will notice that the incident is described as a shooting despite Kuroiwa's attackers wielding melee weapons, providing an early clue that the Mole turned the tables on them. | |

Eye Scream: The Mole's M.O. is to kill yakuza and gouge their eyes out. Turns out, it was actually Shono who did the gouging and there is a major reason why it had to happen: one of AD-9's symptoms is that the eyes go blue and bloodshot due to toxins in the formula. Removing the victims' eyes was a deliberate move to hide the evidence of Shono's experimentation, as the Mole found out in his last moments. | |

Custody Battle | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_af19b864 | comment |
Custody Battle: Subverted. In Chapter 4, Ryuzo Genda tasks Takayuki Yagami to guard a mother and child, Azusa Otaki and her daughter Karin. Azusa wants a divorce with her former yakuza member husband Jin, wanting to take Karin as custody. Karin however has doesn't want her family to split, but has trouble saying so. It then gets muddier when Oikawa, another lawyer involved in the case, provides evidence that Azusa has been cheating on Jin, which is the cornerstone for Jin gaining custody. Yagami investigates things further, only to find that the claims and evidence were falsified, though he's unable to prove it due to some interference from Oikawa. Without much choice, Azusa resignedly signs the custody papers, but Yagami and Genda encourage Karin to speak up about how she doesn't want her parents to split. Both parents recognize they were acting rashly and didn't consider their daughter's feelings on the matter at all. While Oikawa tries to continue and state that he's got a case, Yagami is provided a copy of the dirty evidence, proving that Oikawa lied about Azusa's adultery. He then scurries out of Genda's office, with the family tearing up the signed paperwork that Oikawa left behind. It's a little ambiguous afterwards if the family fully reconciled or if they decided on custody out-of-court, but Genda states they should discuss things over first, with his office being open if they decide to go through with it. The resolution is on the brighter side at least, the whole case being thrown out before it began. | |

Timed Mission | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba | comment |
Timed Mission: If Yagami takes too long in a random encounter against some mooks, the disturbance will be disrupted by the cops arriving and forcing Yagami to make a run for it. Also, certain boss fights and search missions have a time limit for different reasons, and failing them will result in a game over. | |

Guilt-Based Gaming | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_bfae65a4 | comment |
Guilt-Based Gaming: Once you unlock the threat meter, Yagami will occasionally be notified of Keihin gang members terrorizing the city that he needs to take out. If you choose to ignore them, he'll get several messages telling him about the destruction they caused and how he could've prevented it. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: While looking for Shintani, things start to look increasingly grim as no one knows where he is and it starts to look like he may have been killed. Towards the end of Chapter 4, Yagami calls Shintani's phone... and a cellphone starts vibrating inside the office's closet. Just as Yagami opens it, Shintani seemingly answers his phone, and there's a split second of relief that lasts long enough to make both Yagami and the player think that Shintani's alive... right before his dead body comes tumbling out of the closet, and it's revealed that what you actually heard was Shintani's voicemail. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Judgment (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: During the case "Justice is Sweet", a makeshift trial of Hoshino for supposedly eating Saori's cake, both Hoshino and Yagami object to the accusations against the former by pointing and yelling "Objection!." The Challenge of getting 777 headshots in Kamuro of the Dead is "This Is My Boomstick." The second of the Twisted Trio is Ass Catchem. A game achievement can be unlocked for taking the taxis is Crazy Taxi. Ryan Acosta will sometimes say “Believe it!� For beating a certain number of enemies in random encounters, Yagami will earn "Bare Knuckle" and "Streets of Rage", respectively. When talking to the gambling woman in Chapter 8, Yagami asks if she likes her drink to be a vodka martini. Shaken, not stirred. There's a restaurant called Beef Zone in the English localization. When learning about the burglary ring in the main story, Yagami encounters some thieves codenamed Jester, Fox, and Crow. Crow even explicitly compares them to Robin Hood, Crow's own Persona, and when it's revealed that he's betrayed the group, much like Crow in Persona 5, he mentions that Jester might have a "change of heart," when it comes to his actions. Additionally, one of the nicknamed opponents you can play mahjong against is "No-Good Tora", the same nickname given to the politician confidant. In the story, you become friends with the tailor at Le Marche. After helping him out of a tight spot, he makes a free suit for Yagami and says "You're going to like the way you look. I guarantee it." One side case involves working with an actor playing the vampire Bram Sylvania III; the vampire disguise you need during the case states it was hemmed by humans who wished to pay tribute. In Smile Burger, Ida will occasionally quip with "Why so serious? You should put a SMIIILE on that face!" In the "Mr. Try and Hit Me" substory, after hitting him for the first time, one of the onlookers says "...he was fast as lightning! ...It was even a little bit frightening." One of the girls available for the night at Konban Wife includes a certain someone named Marin-chan. While it may seem like a coincidence, given the other Marine's overtly sexual tendencies, the same brothel shop offers Sora-chan, Coco-chan, Choco-chan, Sakura-chan and Momo-chan. | |

Freudian Excuse | |

Morita turned a blind eye to the Mole's crimes over his Freudian Excuse, which earns him a scathing strip-down by Yagami and an immediate dismissal from the legal system once his actions are revealed. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: During the endgame, an injured Yagami starts seeing ghostly images of the past ending with a conversation he had with Emi about Okubo's defense. Emi suddenly turns to the present day Yagami and asks him to look after Okubo and her little brother. The hallucinations then end and Yagami is suddenly unaffected by his previous injuries. While this appears to be a mere hallucination, Sugiura, who was not injured, tells Yagami that he also heard Emi's voice, raising the possibility that Yagami really did interact with her ghost. | |

"Eureka!" Moment: Kaito finds the theory of the murders being the result of human experiments for the AD-9 to be absurd and mockingly suggests they might've as well experimented on Koichi Waku too. There is a long pause as Yagami and Co. realize Shono is Waku's true killer and the head of the conspiracy. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: In Chapter 5, you get to play Yagami in a flashback when he was still a lawyer, and the sequence includes a fight. During said fight, you play as if everything in Yagami's arsenal is not yet unlocked. This also applies during the investigations in that chapter, if Yagami has those skills unlocked, they will not be available to him, making it sort of a No-Gear Level. | |

After beating him down, the pervert then recovers and emits a battle aura as if going into a second form while proclaiming how groping a woman's ass gives him power. Yagami then breaks it to the guy that the last person he groped was actually a man. The pervert gets so horrified at this fact he undergoes a breakdown, then gets caught by the police. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Should Yagami take too long to end random encounters and fail to escape from the police, there is a chance a female cop will attempt to stop him physically. The look on his face when his arm is placed into a hold and touching her chest shows he enjoys it. The option to mash out of the hold is given to the player, but if that's not fulfilled then Yagami will be flipped over and is taken into custody with a smile as the female cop holds his head quite close to her chest. | |

Diegetic Interface: A Downplayed example. The minimap of previous games now appears to be represented by a navigation app á la Google Maps and the pause menu (which is an amalgamation of Android and iOS) is represented by Yagami's smartphone home screen (not unlike Yakuza 6 where Kiryu's smartphone served the same purpose). Also: whenever Yagami gets a call from a main character, they're now shown through a video feed as opposed to being relegated to Character Portraits like in previous games. | |
