Yakuza 0 (é¾�ã�Œå¦‚ã��0 誓ã�„ã�®å ´æ‰€, RyÅ« ga Gotoku 0: Chikai no Basho, lit. Like a Dragon 0: The Place of Oath or, more poetically, Like a Dragon 0: The Promised Land) is the sixth main entry and a prequel to the Like a Dragon video game series. It was released in Japan on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in March 2015, celebrating the series' ten year anniversary, and in North America and Europe as a PS4 exclusive in January 2017. A port of the game to Steam was later announced at E3 2018 and was released on August 1 of that year; the game was additionally released on Xbox One on 26th February 2020.The game takes place in December 1988, at the height of Japan's prosperous "economic bubble". The various factions of the Japanese underworld are jockeying for control over a prime piece of real estate: a vacant lot that is the centerpiece of the "Kamurocho Revitalization Project". Control over this lot will tip the balance of power in the world of yakuza in the favor of whoever claims it.The game follows two separate protagonists, whose stories revolve around the conflict for the lot: Kazuma Kiryu, the series protagonist, is shown as a fresh-faced recruit in the Tojo Clan, sponsored by his father figure Shintaro Kazama. Working for the Dojima family, Kiryu is sent one evening to perform a regular duty for fledgling yakuza: shaking down a man in debt to a loan shark in the Tojo's employ. When the debtor turns up dead on the vacant lot afterwards, Kiryu becomes the prime suspect. With Kazama in prison and the family head, Souhei Dojima, promising his position as his second-in-command to whoever can secure him the vacant lot, Kiryu sets out to clear his name. Goro Majima is the game's deuteragonist, playable for the first time in a main series gamenote Majima was previously playable in the non-canon spinoff Yakuza: Dead Souls.. Majima resides in the Osakan district of Sotenbori, managing a successful cabaret known as The Grand. He has everything a man in his line of business could want: money, fame, and women. What he truly wants, however, is to get back in the good graces of the Tojo Clan, having been excommunicated after disobeying a direct order. Now under the thumb of the rivaling Omi Alliance's Shimano Family, Majima finally gets a chance to return to the Tojo Clan, in exchange for carrying out an assassination. When he finds that his target is a defenseless blind woman, though, his loyalty and sanity will be put to the ultimate test.The new setting for the game offers a view of Kamurocho and Sotenbori unlike what was shown in previous games: the two cities were very different places in the 1980s. This extends to the series' mini-games, as well: Club Sega arcades are replaced with the more time-appropriate Hi-Tech Land Sega (complete with classic arcade games like Space Harrier and OutRun), and hostess clubs are replaced with telephone clubs. The battle system has also been overhauled: each character now has access to three unique fighting styles, and Experience Points are eschewed in favor of using money to purchase upgrades for each character. Enemies now drop piles of cash when defeated; the more brutally they are beaten, the more money they'll drop. Many other avenues for earning money are also available, from gambling to a unique business venture for each character: Kiryu is placed in charge of a real estate agency and must jockey with rival agencies for control over property in Kamurocho, while Majima manages a cabaret club, training hostesses and attending to customers' needs in order to corner the market in Sotenbori.The prequel setting also offers a fresh perspective on the series characters, showing Kiryu as a hot-tempered youth and Majima before he was driven to insanity, as well as giving insight to characters who only had brief appearances in the first Yakuza game, such as Sohei Dojima, Kiryu's patriarch whose death in the first game set the entire series' events into motion. This, combined with the uniqueness of The '80s setting and emphasis on money, make Yakuza 0 one of the most oddball and unique games in the entire series.Released after Yakuza 5 and the feudal spin-off Ishin!, the story would continue in the original game and its enhanced remake before returning to the present in Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, the final chapter of Kazuma Kiryu's story. | |

Cover Identity Anomaly: In a recurring sidequest, you interview prospective employees for your real estate company. If you're sharp, you'll notice that one person gives an answer that contradicts something they previously stated. A woman who says she worked for many years at a traditional Japanese inn says she's a great cook—but the dishes she can cook are all Western foods, like spaghetti or meatloaf. | |

Boisterous Bruiser: Yuki Sato, the second Mr. Shakedown in Kamurocho. Alone among the other Mr. Shakedowns, he genuinely doesn't care about money, scornfully dismissing the idea of putting his skills to use for profit. He brawls in the street to vent his rage and satisfy his thirst for combat, which is what actually keeps him coming after Kiryu. | |

MacGuffin Location | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_175c9472 | comment |
Macguffin Location: The Empty Lot, a small piece of property located in Kamurocho that is in the middle of a land development deal, which is central to the plot. It's essentially the last piece of free land that isn't owned by the Dojima clan. Whoever owns the Empty Lot can either use it to build some very valuable real estate, or sell it back to the Japanese government for a large sum of clean cash that they can use for whatever they want. And whoever in the Dojima family secures the Empty Lot will be all but guaranteed to receive a promotion in the family as a reward. But the thing is, nobody knows who actually owns the Empty Lot, and there's very little that can legally be done to force the owner to sell it, which is why the Dojima family is so interested in finding the owner's identity. The Empty Lot eventually becomes the Millennium Tower later in the series, and it's also revealed that Makoto is the land's owner via inheritance from her grandfather. | |

Title Drop: During the dialogue of the Fortune Teller substory, said Fortune Teller drops the phrase "like a dragon." So Amon drops the phrase as well when describing the legend he predicts Kiryu will become in the future. The opening theme in the Japanese version, "Bubble", includes the lyric "ryuu ga gotoku yozora wo mai", or "dancing through the night sky like a dragon". | |

Relationship Values: Shopkeepers and characters involved in certain minigames and substories have a "Friendship" gauge that goes up the more you interact with them. Getting them maxed out will open up their inventory, unlock certain items/abilities and even allow their businesses to be bought/partnered for Kiryu and Majima's businesses. | |

The Ghost | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: The intro cards of Sagawa and Nishitani, high-ranking brass of the Omi Alliance, describe them as retainers to the 5th Omi Alliance chairman. This chairman never appears or is named in this game, but if you played Yakuza 2, which was released 9 years before Yakuza 0 and is set 18 years after it, then you would know that the 5th chairman is Jin Goda. Neither Sagawa nor Nishitani make it to the end of Yakuza 0 alive, however, and and are long gone by the time the events of Yakuza 2 roll around. Incidentally, if you play certain substories, then you'll also meet the chairman's son as a delinquent boy. You will definitely recognize who this teenager is if you played Yakuza 2... | |

The Stoic | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_1c5002bc | comment |
Kiryu is far rougher than he is in the first game. His HEAT moves are much more brutal and violent than necessary, and he's more confrontational than usual. He also has a mean temper, and is easily capable of brutally injuring someone at the drop of a hat in comparison to his role as The Stoic in the first game on. His kindness, arguably his biggest trait, still shines through. His three styles reflect elements of his later fighting style as well - Brawler is basically an unrefined version of his usual style, Rush showcases his speed and quick footwork, while Beast showcases his strength and willingness to use the environment to his own advantage. | |

Achievement Mockery: You are rewarded with "...I Did It For The Trophy" ("...I Did It For The Achievement" on PC and Xbox) the first time you watch something at the adult film store. At one point, Majima has to buy some takoyaki and bring it to Makoto. If he takes too long, the takoyaki cools down and the trophy "Best Served Cold?" is "awarded". During Majima's fight with Nishikiyama, there is a QTE where Reina attempts to smash a bottle against his head. If the attack succeeds due to you failing the prompt, you get the achievement/trophy "Hitting the Bottle". | |

A man had to change his face due to some Yakuza-related problem and took to going to a park to watch his wife and son play, until his past caught up with him and he and Majima had to fight off the Yakuza.

| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_1e8f4221 | comment |
Fingore: This being a story about yakuza, the practice of cutting off the end of one's pinky finger as a result of a major screw-up is discussed. Kuze explicitly tells Kiryu to do this after the shakedown target in the Empty Lot ends up dead. Kuze himself has to go through with it when Kiryu leaves the Dojima family, since Kuze would effectively be murdering a civilian if he killed Kiryu in Dojima HQ, which would get the family in even more trouble. The player doesn't get to actually see Kuze doing the deed, but the sound effects and the blood splatters seen afterwards clearly show that Kuze went through with it. | |

Law of Chromatic Superiority: Two of the four Mr. Shakedowns have prominent amounts of red in their color scheme. Kiryu's Battle Aura is a bright red when using Legend style. | |

Bloodier and Gorier | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_1f963842 | comment |
Bloodier and Gorier: Next to Kenzan and Ishin, this is easily the most violent game in the series, and said violence is used less for humorous effect and more for pure ow-factor. To wit, those two games have swords as the main mode of combat, and this game is almost as violent as both of them. | |

Nouveau Riche | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_21d47bb7 | comment |
Nouveau Riche enemies are a more subdued variant. They need to be unlocked with CP, but travel alone, are easily spotted by their gaudy golden suits, and aren't any tougher than your garden variety Mook but drop far more cash - you can easily get anywhere from a million to several million yen from a single Nouveau Riche enemy. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The Electronics King uses more modern gaming lingo like "PvP" and "Friendly Fire". Some brands seen in the game, while they did exist all the way back in 1988, still don't feature their era-appropriate logos, like Mountain Dew, 7UP and, most prominently, Sammy. The telephone cards, the videos you can watch at the adult video booths, and the posters at CAL Video all feature models with careers in the 2010s, many of whom weren't even born yet in 1988! The fidelity of the photos and videos makes it pretty obvious these are media contemporary to the game's release, too. The ads for host clubs feature very modern looking hosts. The androgynous faces and spiky Nomura-ian J-rock haircuts weren't really a thing until about a decade after the games take place. 80s hosts were more likely to have fluffy '80s Hair. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: One of the names in the pool of random Mook encounters is "Sega". You get a Completion Point for defeating an enemy with this name. One of the options for Kiryu's pen-name when submitting postcards to be read on Dolce Kamiya's radio show is "Judgement Kazzy", referencing Majima's original nickname for Kiryu in the English localizations for past games. At the end of the substory involving defending a Michael Jackson expy from zombies, Kiryu expresses relief that he'll never have to fight zombies again. You can find a parasol resembling the one used by Sango Amon via the Dragon and Tiger, as well as the MJM56-55 Exorcist from Dead Souls. The very last boss you have to fight in the final Climax Battle Boss Rush section is Nishiki. In the main game you fight him as Majima in a bar, but here you fight him as Kiryu on top of a building, which seems like a pretty random choice for first-timers but a very recognizable sight to series veterans. When geting jumped by the Bontan Hunter (actually a young Ryuji Goda), he is seen hiding behind a takoyaki stand. | |

Oblivious to Love | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_2848e7d2 | comment |
Oblivious to Love: Both Kiryu and Majima up to high heaven. The ratio between how many women practically declare their attraction and love for them and how neither of them ever pick up on it is about equal. The only times they do pick up on it is usually from an Abhorrent Admirer. This is especially prevalent with Majima, because his business sidequest involves running a Cabaret Club. If you take the time to complete each Platinum Hostess's Special Training substories, it becomes pretty obvious that all of them are in love with Majima by the end, and he has no idea - even when Hibiki all but proposes to him. | |

Uncertain Doom: Most of the Five Stars; every time Majima defeats one, it's heavily implied that Kotomi has arranged for them to be assassinated for outliving their usefulness. Downplayed by Kizuka of Club Jupiter, who totally understands the situation he's in and explicitly says he's going to get out of town immediately once Majima beats him. Even so, Kotomi and Tsukiyama are standing just down the alley, leaving it ambiguous whether that'll be enough.. | |

Adam Smith Hates Your Guts: During certain segments, the taxis in the south of Kamurocho bump up the fare to 10,000 yen. Justified (and historically accurate) as it's rush hour, so the drivers on the busiest street can afford to charge much more. In the cutscene before the final segment you can actually see businessmen waving handfuls of banknotes at the cabs driving past. | |

Limit Break: For Club Sunshine, it's one of the main mechanics when you get enough money to fill a three-tiered meter, which restores the HP of your girls, raises the mood of your guests and makes tables enter fever mode, making them gain money at an even faster rate. During Rival Battles, the Five Stars have their own limit breaks which range from making guests leave, lowering the mood of your customers, or lowering the HP of your girls. Which culminates in the battle with Club Moon, where they will use every effect at once on you. | |

Gratuitous English: You'll hear it often like the previous games before it, but certain parts stand out here. Certain characters like Bacchus and the Mafia Boss speak in English phrases. Miracle Johnson also does, but with a noticeably Japanese accent. Similar to the previous vocal theme songs like "Receive You" and "For Faith", "Reign" is entirely comprised of English lyrics, and along with the disco and cabaret vocal songs, it's sung with Japanese pronunciation and improper grammar. The lyrics for all the songs can be found on the game's website. | |

Piñata Enemy: All the enemies literally bleed money when they get hit with a particularly strong attack, meaning that you'll be earning money like crazy. Of course, considering that money also doubles as XP in this game, you'll also be spending a lot of it on upgrades. The Mr. Shakedown enemies in particular have massive payouts for every hit landed, but are bigger and tougher than anything else and will take all your cash if they beat you. Also, the Nouveau Riche enemy, who wears a garish golden suit, is barely a challenge and gives you a ton of money when fought. | |

Glass Cannon: Gun-wielding enemies can deal out considerable damage, as well as causing Kiryu or Majima to stagger if a shot hits them. However, in contrast to other enemies, their health bars never advance beyond the minuscule size found on enemies at the start of the game, meaning that one or two good hits is enough to take them out. | |

After turning down two con artists who tried to bullshit him, he hires a shy and nervous man with a genuine passion for his line of work. Afterwards, when he sees the two employees he refused to hire, the first con man abused a dog out of frustration, until the meek new hire steps in and stands up for the poor pup. At one point, during Kiryu's stay at a homeless encampment, a group of school delinquents decide to violently attack homeless people for fun, using their immunity as free rein to hospitalize or even kill the outcasts of society. | |

Character Development | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Inverted, in the sense this takes place before Kiryu and Majima, along with several others, became the people that they would become later in life. Kiryu is far rougher than he is in the first game. His HEAT moves are much more brutal and violent than necessary, and he's more confrontational than usual. He also has a mean temper, and is easily capable of brutally injuring someone at the drop of a hat in comparison to his role as The Stoic in the first game on. His kindness, arguably his biggest trait, still shines through. His three styles reflect elements of his later fighting style as well - Brawler is basically an unrefined version of his usual style, Rush showcases his speed and quick footwork, while Beast showcases his strength and willingness to use the environment to his own advantage. Majima is far more mentally balanced in this game, which becomes obvious after seeing the first cutscene where he demonstrates another side of his loyalty - that of to himself. He manages to, in the span of about five minutes: cool off a drunkard, knock him on his ass and disarm him, get him to pay the bar tab of the entire club and then has the club forgive him. His fighting styles reflect bits of his later, knife-based acrobatic style - Thug shows his finesse and pragmatism in combat, Slugger shows off his skill with a weapon, while Breaker gives him an incredible sense of unpredictability in combat. Certain Heat Actions◊ also betray the Mad Dog boiling just under the surface... | |

Skill Scores and Perks: The game uses a skill tree system for improving each of the character's fighting styles. Instead of earning Experience Points to unlock new skills, players must buy them with money earned in-game. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Those who have played the first few minutes of the original game will know exactly how certain events unfold and how they end. Dojima doesn't meet his end by Majima's hands and the title of the Third Chairman of the Tojo Clan goes to Masaru Sera. And despite Kazama's efforts to lead Kiryu into a normal life, Kiryu ends up back in the Dojima Family. | |

Curtain Call | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_3bdf690b | comment |
Once Kiryu completes all the Pocket Circuit Race substories and proves that he is the fastest pocket racer in Kamurocho, all the characters he has encountered during that subplot show up for a Curtain Call at the end and applauds him while telling him "Congratulations!" Kiryu smiles at this and says "Thank you, everyone!" The scene is, of curse, one big shout-out to the (in)famous final scene of Neon Genesis Evangelion. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Dojima loses the bid to the empty lot to Sera, and Kiryu is able to prove his innocence in the Empty Lot murder case. Meanwhile, Makoto recovers her sight and is starting a new, peaceful life in Kamurocho having survived the events of the game. However, plenty of people died because of the war for the Empty Lot, including Tachibana, who perishes moments before being reunited with Makoto. And while Majima succeeds in returning to the Tojo Clan like he wanted, he is clearly unhappy with how things went down; worst yet, he has to stay away from Makoto (who remembers him but had no idea what he looked like) so she can live a peaceful life. On top of that, while Dojima and Shimano's plans failed, they managed to not suffer any direct consequences and able to continue plotting, but only so the events in the other games make sense. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_424c9a9b | comment |
Cold-Blooded Torture: It's revealed that after Majima went against orders regarding the Ueno Seiwa hit and lost his eye, Shimano had him chained and tortured in a cell called "The Hole", which Majima endured for a year. After Sera takes Makoto away to the Nikkyo Consortium, Sagawa has Majima chained and beaten, stopping just short of bashing his skull in with a bat. Tachibana is subjected to this under the Kenno Clan. Eventually, Yoneda goes too far and ends up killing him. Nishiki mentions that the Dojima family are known for being expert torturers who know how to draw it out as long as possible. He later tries to kill Kiryu himself instead of having his sworn brother go through it. | |

Tranquil Fury: Majima is first introduced subduing a perverted drunk groping one of the cabaret girls at the Grand, who responds by pouring a bottle of champagne on his face. He plays it off as if it were a good deed, but on subsequent playthroughs you know he's holding back the urge to break the guy's neck. | |

Stance System | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_44e013e4 | comment |
Stance System: Kiryu and Majima have three styles each. They also have a "Legend" style based on their fighting styles in later games of the series. Those are unlocked by completing their respective business minigames. Kiryu's fighting styles include "Brawler", a balanced fighting style with Counter Attacks; "Beast", a power-based style that allows Kiryu to tank damage and seamlessly pick up and use environmental objects as weapons; and "Rush", a fast-paced boxing style that lets Kiryu duck and weave past attacks and counter with a flurry of punches. His Legend Style, "Dragon of Dojima" is his classic fighting style though without certain moves due to him having yet to meet Komaki. Majima's styles are "Thug", a balanced style with a variety of grab attacks and pragmatic flair; "Slugger", a power-based style where Majima uses a baseball bat with deadly creativity; and "Breaker", a break-dancing style that lets Majima attack opponents with spinning kicks while striking poses to build up heat. His Legend Style, "Mad Dog of Shimano" is based on his moves as a boss character, now in playable form. | |

You Have Failed Me: Tsukiyama of the Five Stars does not tolerate failure from his underlings. Every time Majima conquers one of the other clubs in a Cabaret Club Battle, he orders Kotomi, his sinister secretary, to arrange their assassination. It's ambiguous whether any of these assassination attempts were successful, but none of the other Five Stars are heard from again. | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Yuki in the Club Sunshine Side Missions gets a moment where she's the butt of the joke with every Star you take on, from being called a plain hostess, to having Majima repeatedly forgets her requests for vinegar, and being kidnapped and forgotten about at one point (she apparently frees herself afterwards). Yoneda first appears to be one of Kuze's higher ranking enforcers. He is told to kill Kiryu before he getting punched out in-cutscene and defeated in combat immediately afterwards. He shows up several more times as Kiryu fights his way through the building, each time being taken down in a QTE before being fought again, and finally gets dunked in a urinal and dropkicked out a window. Notably, this all takes place in the span of about ten minutes. He shows up later on interrogating Tachibana. Tachibana goads him into killing him, ensuring he can't get the information he wants; this in turn angers Kuze enough for him to kill Yoneda by smashing his head into the floor. Oishi is one of Nishitani's henchmen, tasked with kidnapping Makoto. In his first appearance he manages to land a few shots on Lee, who tosses an acupuncture needle though his shooting hand in return. Majima then beats him down before rescuing Makoto. Oishi shows up twice more; in his second appearance, he has a visible bandage on his forehead and tries to take revenge on Majima with a whole gang of people. He runs away after Majima beats them all, only to show up again later with a new bandage on his cheek. | |

Badass Teacher | |

Badass Teacher: Kiryu and Majima each have three teachers, each of whom are badasses in their own rights. Kiryu's mentors are Bacchus, a booze hound who is continually hounded by assassins and manages to survive; Kamoji, a homeless "knockout artist" who makes a living challenging people to try and knock him down (a job he is very good at); and Miss Tatsu, a loan shark muscle who is feared by debtors all over. Majima's mentors are Komeki, the selfsame martial artist who would mentor Kiryu later on in the series; Areshi, a breakdancer who is inspired by Majima to incorporate fighting into his dance routines; and Fei Hu, a Chinese arms dealer who can turn even an ordinary piece of lumber into a deadly weapon. | |

Fei Hu decides to test him in a spar using an ordinary wooden staff, and promptly whoops his ass. The yakuza decides that he lost because the broadsword was terrible and the staff Fei Hu just used was far better. But Fei Hu explains that the staff was a random piece of lumber he scooped off the ground, as opposed to the painstakingly crafted broadsword the yakuza was using. | |

Metronomic Man Mashing: Downplayed. You can grab a downed opponent by the leg with Kiryu's Beast or Legend style and swing them overhead onto the pavement, potentially knocking down other opponents. Other than an occasional counter kick or other enemies interrupting you, there's nothing to stop you from repeating the grab-and-slam until they're KO'ed. It's not as damaging as most of Kiryu's other moves are, but it's definitely satisfying. | |

Majima's roller-skating Boy Band karaoke visual is based on Hikaru GENJI. To confirm this, the full spec edition of "24-Hour Cinderella" has him dub his group "Majima Jingi". | |

| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_57b74bd4 | comment |
Achievements in Ignorance: The Videotape substory concerns Majima finding a Ring-style cursed videotape for the clerk of the local porn store. The two of them start to watch it, convinced it's going to be really legendary smut, only to be disappointed when it contains nothing but static and weird moaning. They leave, only for the TV to turn back on, showing the Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl inside of the room - with absolutely nobody to haunt, since they've both left. Alternatively, she simply may have not meant them any harm to begin with, since Majima ''did'' give her some Oden... | |

Hero of Another Story: While Kiryu and Majima's stories do tie into one another, they never directly actually meet until The Stinger. Humorously, this applies to the Dolce Kamiya postcard substories too. Occasionally if if the player doesn't send in a story that makes the show you'll instead hear the card comes from "Judgement Kazzy" or "Gorogorogoro-chan" instead depending on who's the playable character at the time, indicating that either Kiryu or Majima got their card read instead. | |

Boss Rush | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_5a5de5ca | comment |
The very last boss you have to fight in the final Climax Battle Boss Rush section is Nishiki. In the main game you fight him as Majima in a bar, but here you fight him as Kiryu on top of a building, which seems like a pretty random choice for first-timers but a very recognizable sight to series veterans. | |

One of the Kids: In-game, the Pocket Racing Circuit is clearly aimed at kids, but quite a few adults are also into it, which bring out their inner child and are given the honorifics of -kun and -chan as opposed to -san. Pocket Circuit Fighter clearly has a passion for it, is a Friend to All Children and many kids look up to him. But quite a few people think he's too old to be doing this and he's rather self-conscious about it, especially when it comes to the poor guy's financial woes and non-existent dating life. | |

| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Promises. How malleable is one's integrity? How important is it to keep one's promises to those around them in a time when money and all that it brings can warp a person's view of the world? Just how much is too much of one's integrity to sacrifice in the pursuit of money, fame, and power? A public persona. It's sometimes a necessity for certain people to function or survive in society under a mask, even if it means living a lie and/or sacrificing their personal happiness. The game features a number of characters, both major and minor, that were driven to reinvent themselves for different reasons, some more complex than others. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Most of a substory characters who can be hired as employees of Kiryu's real estate firm fit this trope, especially since the game follows the unspoken rule that unlockable characters are mostly better than the default characters. The absolute best business advisor is a Michael Jackson expy and you can unlock a chicken who has three stars in management. This also means that, ironically, the random misfits Kiryu meets around Kamurocho are better at running a real estate firm than the people who are actually in that line of work. The Five Billionaires are all very odd. Despite this, they managed to almost completely monopolize Kamurocho's real estate scene, albeit with some less than legal tactics. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The Dragon and Tiger (both the one in Sotenbori and the Kamurocho location) is an actual Chinese restaurant in addition to being a secret weapon shop. Despite this, Majima only eats there once, in a cutscene; there's no way to eat there like a regular restaurant, and Kiryu never eats at the Kamurocho branch. Also, when Akko takes Majima to an arcade to play a claw machine, Majima acts like he knows absolutely nothing about how claw machines work... Even if you've already played one or completed the doll girl side story first. Though it is possible he's just pretending not to know as part of the act. | |

The second was designed to keep him focused, but the game has him switch between his three fighting styles at random. The last was designed to improve his vision, and he fights while dark clouds cover the screen. (An unlockable "Climax Battle" challenges you to defeat four waves of enemies under all three debuffs at once.) | |

Disc-One Final Boss | |

Disc-One Final Boss: Kuze is initially set up as the Big Bad, and the game heavily implies that he framed Kiryu for the businessman's murder. His Wake-Up Call Boss fight in Dojima Family HQ serves as the point where the game officially stops messing around, and the game opens up dramatically after that - but it also sees Kuze being knocked out of the race to the Empty Lot before it's even properly begun. He remains The Dragon and The Heavy of Kiryu's story, but there's no doubt that he's become little more than a pawn for the true villains. | |

Everybody Smokes | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_71105dfc | comment |
Everybody Smokes: As a game set in Japan during The '80s, this is inevitable. Kiryu, Nishikiyama and Majima all smoke, which was pretty much mandatory for Yakuza of their rank during the game's time period. Kuze and Sagawa, Kiryu and Majima's respective Starter Villains, also smoke. | |

Awakening the Sleeping Giant | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_7317b97d | comment |
Awakening the Sleeping Giant: Kiryu didn't have any involvement in the pursuit of the Empty Lot until he was framed for murder, and when he got set up by Shibusawa in an attempt to crush Kazama, it only resulted in the fall of the most powerful family in the Tojo Clan. In the end, Kuze recognizes Kiryu's potential, believing Kazama has held him back from becoming a true yakuza, and admits the Dojima Family has no one but themselves to blame for their own destruction at Kiryu's hands. | |

| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_7360a6b6 | comment |
Noble Demon: Kuze is an unrepentant, lifelong career criminal, expert torturer, and a hardened Yakuza through-and-through. He's still unquestionably the most honorable of the three Lieutenants, let alone Dojima himself. He's also the only person in the story other than Kazama himself who understands just how dangerous Kiryu actually is; his perception of him goes from "upstart little shit" to "legend in the making". At the climax of the story, he ignores orders to wage open war on the Kazama family HQ and waste hundreds of lives, opting instead to face Kiryu for one last duel before quietly turning himself in to the police. | |

The Club Hostesses are each dressed in colors respective for their original clubs. Notice the color of each girl's outfit then look at the club they originally came from and you'll notice very certain parallels to a team of planetary warriors. The owners of each club also have similar last names to the alter egos of the Sailor Scouts (in the original Japanese), except for Kanehara. | |

Adopt the Food: One side story has Kiryu trying for a turkey (3 strikes in a row) at bowling to win an actual turkey to eat. When he wins it, it turns out the bird is still alive, and also a chicken, not a turkey. The bowling receptionist offers to take it to the back and cook it, but Kiryu instead decides to keep the chicken and name it Nugget. It also joins him as a real estate manager. | |

Beware the Quiet Ones | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_779009b5 | comment |
Beware the Quiet Ones: Kiryu. While he is largely stoic and self-contained, as the plot progresses, he continues to smash every gambit he touches to bits through his refusal to die, brass balls, and increasingly-badass combat skills. This also extends to Shibusawa, the true Big Bad; he is the most quiet and reserved out of the three Liutenants, and naturally winds up being the most dangerous. | |

Kiryu's "Beast" style features grappling Heat attacks that use wrestling moves like power bombs, piledrivers and a Human Hammer-Throw. His "Dragon of Dojima" style has Shinada's DDT and he can suplex enemies onto railings if he drags enemies near one. One of his HEAT moves with a partner allows Kiryu to perform a Shining Wizard on his opponent. | |

Large Ham: Outside of the main story, the protagonists exhibit traits of hamminess when engaging in side-activities. For example, when Kiryu starts playing OutRun, he takes to the game like he's getting ready to burn serious rubber. When hitting up the telephone club, he practically rips the phone off its cradle when answering it. When buying out businesses for his real estate firm, Kiryu does so by dramatically opening briefcases filled with cash, although this particular one only plays whenever he goes to buy the most expensive business within each of the Five Billionaires' districts. | |

Bait-and-Switch: When the story is shifted to Majima's side for the first time, it's revealed that he's the manager of a prestigious club and personally deals with rowdy customers. Given how he acts later in the series, you'd expect him to whale on an angry drunk mistreating his employees. Instead, he acts hilariously polite to him and barely ever touches him aside from a toss (done purely in self-defense when the customer comes at him with an ice pick). He even convinces him to pay for everyone's drinks! Another twist happens right after when you see he lives in a Lonely Bachelor Pad, close to poverty due to the debt he owes. | |

Quirky Miniboss Squad | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_889cff96 | comment |
Quirky Miniboss Squad: Kiryu's real estate business storyline involves him dealing with the "Five Billionaires", a group of Shady Real Estate Agents looking to take over Kamurocho. Majima's cabaret club has to contend with the managers of the "Five Stars", the top five cabaret clubs of Sotenbori, though he only has to physically fight three of them. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Shortly after he's framed for murder, Kiryu decides to get himself expelled from the Dojima Family so Kazama won't be held accountable for his actions. Although Dojima honors Kiryu's expulsion, he still has Kazama take full responsibility for what happened, making Kiryu's efforts in vain. When Dojima says this, all Kiryu can do is just watch Dojima walk away. After Tachibana is killed, Makoto decides to confront Dojima - the head of the most powerful family in the Tojo Clan - and offer him the deed for the Empty Lot in exchange for the heads of his three lieutenants, as revenge for her brother's death. Since Dojima doesn't need to own the Empty Lot so much as he doesn't want anyone raising a fuss about its ownership and ruining their construction plans, she gets a bullet instead. | |

Dragon with an Agenda: Downplayed. Kuze does betray Shibusawa after being Demoted to Dragon, but he does so in a rather minor way; instead of taking his men and launching an all-out assault on the Kazama family as ordered, Kuze confronts Kiryu for one last duel before turning himself in to the police. He's the only one of the three Lieutenants to make it out of the story with both his life and his dignity intact. | |

Mighty Glacier: The Mr. Shakedowns all attack in slow, lumbering swings. They also have tons of health and will take out massive chunks of your health if they successfully land a hit. Kiryu's Beast style turns him into one, allowing him to pick up heavier objects and charge through enemies with ease at the cost of speed and mobility. The same goes for Miss Tatsu, who teaches him the style. | |

Rewatch Bonus: During the confrontation in the Loan Shark's office, Kuze offers to tell Kiryu who really killed the businessman. This naturally implies Kuze was the one who framed him. His response of "Maybe, maybe not" doesn't seem terribly convincing until a second playthrough, where the player already knows that Shibusawa was the one who set Kiryu up, not Kuze. | |

As You Know: During the sidequest "The Show Must Go On," Mori and Papillon explain what the TV terminology they were using meant after you get each one correct. Papillon even lampshades it by saying "But you knew that already" after his explanation. This eventually turns out to be a subversion. Mori knows Kiryu isn't actually a producer, but Papillon figured it out by himself, so he's just playing along. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |

After obtaining at least 60% of their real estate shares, the Five Billionaires will challenge Kiryu to a game where the winner gets 10% of the loser's shares. Doing so means either being the best at a minigame or succeeding in a downplayed Luck-Based Mission with no chance at a rematch. Fortunately, upgrading stores increases share holdings as well as buying them, so it's not too much of a set-back. | |

Immune to Flinching | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_9f86dbcf | comment |
Mr. Shakedowns are souped-up versions of the trope; they're slow as molasses and have telegraphed attacks, but they hit like a truck, are Immune to Flinching, and take all of your cash if you lose to them. However, they yield a lot of moolah when defeated, and by playing your cards right, you can win back a lot more money than you lost. note The "Mr. Shakedown's Deep Pockets" perk, available only for Kiryu, increases the amount he holds by 50%. Lose your current cash holdings to him once, then win the next time to multiply those reclaimed funds by 1.5. Repeat to hit the money cap in less than an hour. | |

Badass in a Nice Suit | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_9fbe06a5 | comment |
Badass in a Nice Suit: Par for the course, for both the series and the Eighties. Kiryu starts the game wearing a simple black suit, white dress shirt and a silver chain necklace, but eventually switches to a white pinstripe suit and an orange dress shirt with a gold chain pattern on it. For the Premium Adventure mode, the "Dragon of Dojima" DLC adds his iconic off-white suit with maroon dress shirt, the "Kamurocho Fun Pack" DLC adds a topless version of his Yakuza 0 outfit, and the "Pocket Racer Expert Pack" DLC grants him Majima's 'Lord of the Night' outfit. Majima goes through the game wearing a tuxedo the whole time - full get-up while working at The Grand, losing the bowtie and wearing a gold chain necklace during his downtime. For the Premium Adventure mode, the "Mad Dog of Shimano" DLC adds his iconic outfit from the rest of the series, the "Sotenbori Fun Pack 2" DLC adds a variant of his usual outfit that replaces his tux jacket with Saejima's parka from Yakuza 4, and the "Super Rare Crafting Pack" DLC grants him Kiryu's 'New Hire' outfit. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_a0f61fe2 | comment |
Power-Up Letdown: The Bottomless Stomach CP upgrade lets you eat food even when your health is full. This is useful for ordering all the food restaurant completion requirements, but it's pretty far down the Adventure CP list, so you have to spend a significant amount of CP to get it in the first place. Even then, Appstim RX returns to let you eat more food and are quite cheap, so the CP upgrade's usefulness is extremely limited. The Legend styles are pretty strong and harken to the styles Kiryu and Majima eventually adopt as their own. However, you can only change to it via a toggle in the pause menu (unless you use a mod for the PC version), so switching in and out of it during battle is not as smooth as it could be. Additionally, the ability trees consist of only health, heat, and attack upgrades, and while they are useful, it's unfortunate there aren't any other cooler abilities to unlock from them. | |

Dumb Muscle: Downplayed. Kuze starts the game as The Heavy, being the one who triggers Kiryu's initial defection from the Dojima family to begin with; he remains the most visible antagonist throughout the rest of the game, fighting Kiryu multiple times. While he definitely isn't stupid, Kuze's inability to see the race for the Empty Lot as the complex Gambit Pile Up that it really is winds up biting him hard. By the time of his final duel with Kiryu, he's been relegated to acting as muscle for the true Big Bad. Kiryu flatly predicts that this will happen in the Loan Shark's office at the start of the game. | |

When Tetsu Tachibana is captured by the Dojima Family and proves to be unbreakable in the face of excruciating torture, Kuze decides to give Tachibana a break since he's experienced enough to know what kind of people who won't crack, and that he needs to still keep the victim alive. His underling, Yoneda, mocks Kuze as a weakling, and is proven to be an easily-angered idiot when Tachibana is able to easily goad Yoneda into killing him, thus denying the Dojima clan any info they planned on getting out of Tachibana. | |

The Notable Numeral: The business sidequests have the protagonists fight a notable numeral group. Kiryu faces off against the Five Billionaires, and Majima competes against the Five Stars. | |

Mood Whiplash: The side-quest involving the cult of Munan Chohept Onast is filled with this, since the cult's practices and rituals are Played for Laughs, but the brainwashing, extortion and sexual abuse its members are exposed to are decidedly not. The end result is a tone that will leave your neck looking like a corkscrew. | |

Big Brother Mentor: Kashiwagi's bio describes him as this for Kiryu and Nishiki, and serves as something of a mentor figure for them in Kazama's absence. He also doesn't hesitate to punch Kiryu's lights out when he announces his plan to get expelled from the Dojima Family thinking it would clear Kazama from being held responsible. One of the substories shows that Daigo Dojima also looked up to Kiryu as one when he was younger, and his rotten attitude nearly landed him in hot water. | |

Money Is Experience Points: Unlike the other entries in the series, skills are unlocked with money instead of experience points, fitting the game's setting of Japan's prosperous economic bubble period, where people had lots of money to throw around. The man who teaches you how to unlock skills calls this "investing in yourself". | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: If the Dojima Family's plan was to mask the fact that the Empty Lot even existed, then killing Makoto was completely unnecessary for that — She didn't even know the Lot existed, let alone that she owned it, until an army of Yakuza started chasing her across two cities to murder her over it. In fact, all their obsession with killing her accomplished was getting the attention of several high-profile figures who would ensure that they'd fail in the end, leading to the Dojima Family's fall from grace. | |

Wrestler in All of Us: Kiryu's "Beast" style features grappling Heat attacks that use wrestling moves like power bombs, piledrivers and a Human Hammer-Throw. His "Dragon of Dojima" style has Shinada's DDT and he can suplex enemies onto railings if he drags enemies near one. One of his HEAT moves with a partner allows Kiryu to perform a Shining Wizard on his opponent. One of Majima's "Dancer" Heat moves is a spinning Hurricanrana that damages three enemies at once. Endgame Elite Mooks can also perform Hurricanranas as grapples. | |

Luxury Prison Suite: Downplayed with Nishitani's arrangement with the Sotenbori police. Thanks to him and Billiken paying off the cops, any time he gets arrested they conveniently forget to lock his cell door so he can leave whenever he wants, and he can also use the prison staff as his errand boys. The cell he stays in is completely ordinary, though. | |

Retcon: A minor example with the Amon family being encountered in this game. It's stated in Yakuza 3 that Jo Amon only ever struggled against two opponents: Kiryu and Sotaro Komaki, but Zero reveals another: Goro Majima. Averted with Kiryu, who mentions in Yakuza 4 that he faced off against the Amon clan three times before then. While he faces off against the previous head of the clan, So Amon, he doesn't learn exactly who he is or which clan he is from. That is, until he connects the dots in Kiwami. | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: An inverted example occurs when Kiryu encounters Mr. Shakedown for the first time. Regardless of whether he defeats Kiryu or you take his health down to a certain point, he stops the fight and lets you go. Played straight when Kiryu fights Kuze for a third time. Lose, and it's game over. Win, and Kuze gets back up, and with the help of a subordinate, knocks Kiryu to the ground and prepares to kill him (Kiryu only surviving thanks to Tachibana's sudden arrival). | |

Ink-Suit Actor | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_b8dbbc07 | comment |
Ink-Suit Actor: The likeness of several women in the game are taken from popular AV actresses, whose characters also share the same first name. Following a contest held by Sega, 30 out of 50 made it into the game. The top five were turned into the cabaret club's Platinum Hostesses (with the exception of Yuki, who's entirely fictional), while the remaining girls can be found throughout the cities under various roles. All 30 have a short gravure video that can be unlocked, and Mr. Libido will encourage Kiryu and Majima to see if they can discover them all in town, as well as their videos and collectable cards. Exclusively for the Chinese release of the game, Lao Gui is instead modeled and voiced by Hong Kong film actor Sam Lee. The English localization mistakenly used Lee's voice clips solely during his boss fight, which was fixed in the 1.05 patch. | |

Timed Mission: When the Dojima clan goes after Kiryu, he's given a short amount of time to take out everyone in each group before their backup arrives. One of Kiryu's substories tasks him with delivering a pizza to someone before it becomes cold. Many of the mentor training missions revolve around these. During Kamoji's missions, Kiryu can't be knocked down during the time limit. Miss Tatsu's training requires him to destroy mannequins and obtain a certain amount of cash before time runs out. Majima's breaker battles give him a limited amount of time to get as much cash from the crowd as he can. | |

Yoneda first appears to be one of Kuze's higher ranking enforcers. He is told to kill Kiryu before he getting punched out in-cutscene and defeated in combat immediately afterwards. He shows up several more times as Kiryu fights his way through the building, each time being taken down in a QTE before being fought again, and finally gets dunked in a urinal and dropkicked out a window. Notably, this all takes place in the span of about ten minutes. He shows up later on interrogating Tachibana. Tachibana goads him into killing him, ensuring he can't get the information he wants; this in turn angers Kuze enough for him to kill Yoneda by smashing his head into the floor. | |

Smash to Black | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_c8ce7b2d | comment |
Smash to Black: A few: At the end of Chapter 8, the screen cuts to black as Majima is pistol-whipped by Sera. At the end of the game, the screen cuts to black after Majima says his goodbyes to Sagawa, who is accosted by Omi Alliance hitmen once Majima has departed. During The Stinger, the screen smashes to black after Kiryu and Majima finally meet, then the End card appears. | |

Metal Slime | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_c923e7a6 | comment |
Metal Slime: Mr. Shakedowns are souped-up versions of the trope; they're slow as molasses and have telegraphed attacks, but they hit like a truck, are Immune to Flinching, and take all of your cash if you lose to them. However, they yield a lot of moolah when defeated, and by playing your cards right, you can win back a lot more money than you lost. note The "Mr. Shakedown's Deep Pockets" perk, available only for Kiryu, increases the amount he holds by 50%. Lose your current cash holdings to him once, then win the next time to multiply those reclaimed funds by 1.5. Repeat to hit the money cap in less than an hour. Nouveau Riche enemies are a more subdued variant. They need to be unlocked with CP, but travel alone, are easily spotted by their gaudy golden suits, and aren't any tougher than your garden variety Mook but drop far more cash - you can easily get anywhere from a million to several million yen from a single Nouveau Riche enemy. | |

Counter-Attack | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_cb42ed9f | comment |
Kiryu's fighting styles include "Brawler", a balanced fighting style with Counter Attacks; "Beast", a power-based style that allows Kiryu to tank damage and seamlessly pick up and use environmental objects as weapons; and "Rush", a fast-paced boxing style that lets Kiryu duck and weave past attacks and counter with a flurry of punches. His Legend Style, "Dragon of Dojima" is his classic fighting style though without certain moves due to him having yet to meet Komaki. | |

Defeating one of the Five Stars will add the defeated club's number one girl to Majima's roster of hostesses. Inverted in the second Miracle Johnson substory, where Kiryu cannot defeat Miracle in a dance battle no matter what, but Miracle decides to join Kiryu's real estate agency as a Advisor anyways. | |

An Entrepreneur Is You: Each protagonist has a side-business they can engage in to earn even more money, which are their own subplots. Completing through them unlocks the final upgrades for the various styles and the fourth "Legend" styles upon completion. Kiryu becomes the president of a real estate firm in Kamurocho. He can purchase property around Kamurocho and collect profits from them, as well as hiring advisors to invest in his properties, managers to improve profits, and security staff to ensure business can be conducted without incident. Majima becomes manager of a failing cabaret club in Sotenbori. He can hire new hostesses and train some of them personally, and when the club is open, must pair hostesses with clients to make money, attending to customer needs and resolving disputes between patrons and hostesses that arise. | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |

Nothing Is Scarier: The Mystery Caller substory. Majima is addressed by a mysterious man named Simon, who hires him to do some arms-dealing via a payphone. He also mentions that he rigged the phone booth to blow up if Majima had said no. Eventually, Simon asks to be rescued from some former associates, who are about to kill him. After going to the location specified and beating the goons up, Majima realizes that he's been had; the caller is nowhere in sight. Simon bids Majima farewell in one last phone call, claiming that Majima's actions have prevented Sotenbori from being thrown into chaos. His final "payment" is an unknown woman who is visibly terrified for her life and begs Majima to let her work at Club Sunshine. Fortunately for her, Majima is a Benevolent Boss who treats his employees very well, but it's easy to imagine what a less scrupulous person could have done in that scenario. Who Simon was, what connections he had, and the truth of his claims about preventing a disaster are all questions the franchise has left unanswered. | |

Lonely Bachelor Pad: Goro Majima's apartment is just a few steps away from being entirely vacant, housing just his futon (typically seen piled up in a corner of the room) and a small table with a radio. Given that his assignment in Sotenbori is something of a punishment, it's unclear if the state of his apartment is due to his superiors giving him the bare minimum, or him refusing to furnish it out of disdain for the whole situation. | |

Take Your Time: Sagawa tells Majima that he has two days to find and kill Makoto before winding up on the hitlist himself. The game doesn't enforce this. You're free to spend as much time running Club Sunshine, wandering around town, completing substories, and training as you want; only completing storyline missions actually advances time. | |

Mirror Boss: Kiryu's final boss goes through three stages, each imitating one of his fighting styles. Shibusawa starts off with a fast-paced style of quick kicks and punches, like Kiryu's Rush style, then a slow, heavy-hitting style focused on bludgeoning with furniture, like Beast, and finally a more well-rounded style like Brawler. Superboss Jo Amon goes through a similar pattern, imitating the legendary "Dragon of Dojima" and "Mad Dog of Shimano" styles with brutal effectiveness. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: If you get defeated by Mr. Shakedown enough times, his starting health will be reduced in subsequent encounters. There are also equippable items that prevent Mr. Shakedown from taking all of your money should you lose in a fight with him. The Item menu now has three separate sections - Inventory, Components, and Valuables. You can carry more on your person and manage your inventory much better. Most random battles are easily avoidable once you acquire the Cash Confetti ability. Though it costs 10,000 yen for each use, that amount eventually becomes a non-issue at the point you get it. Unlike what came before it, there is no penalty for failing Kiryu's final training session for his Rush style. Since his opponent breaks the rulesSpoilerThe opponent brought a gun, and spends the entire session shooting at Kiryu, he won't lose any money and he'll still acquire the last ability. After obtaining at least 60% of their real estate shares, the Five Billionaires will challenge Kiryu to a game where the winner gets 10% of the loser's shares. Doing so means either being the best at a minigame or succeeding in a downplayed Luck-Based Mission with no chance at a rematch. Fortunately, upgrading stores increases share holdings as well as buying them, so it's not too much of a set-back. Earning the completion points for classic Sega arcade games only require the player to achieve a certain score, as opposed to beating the game. A rapid-fire button has also been added for Fantasy Zone and Space Harrier, the latter also receiving a button to invert the vertical controls anytime during the game. They're all still hard as hell, though. The most you'll ever need to score in OutRun is five million points, in order to beat The Electronics King. This roughly equates to about halfway through the game. Want to start a New Game Plus using your save file after completing everything in Premium Adventure? In previous games, you weren't allowed to use Premium Adventure saves. Now you finally can, with one caveat: The Legend/Ex-Hard difficulty requires a fresh start. The difficulty can't be selected if you're starting with a Premium Adventure save. | |

Inmates are forced to fight for the entertainment of an audience, often to the death, and those who survive a year in the pit are allowed to leave. Majima is allowed to fight there sans the year long internment requirement at the request of a corrupt police officer. Kiryu is as well, mostly because denying him participation in this game's arena wouldn't be any fun. | |

Company Cross References: The game has a few nods to other Sega games. One of the businesses Kiryu can buy out is named "Amusement Game You". It's the same name as the arcade from Shenmue. During one of Yuki's conversations, she denies that she's never dated before, telling Majima there was Sato, Suzuki, and Tanaka. In Shenmue II, a man named Barry Jones mistakes Ryo for someone else, believing all Japanese fall under the very same three names Yuki mentions. However, this might be coincidental, as Sato, Suzuki, and Tanaka are the three most common surnames in Japan, suggesting that Yuki is lying. | |

Thanatos Gambit | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_db71d717 | comment |
Thanatos Gambit: When Tetsu Tachibana is captured by the Dojima Family and proves to be unbreakable in the face of excruciating torture, Kuze decides to give Tachibana a break since he's experienced enough to know what kind of people who won't crack, and that he needs to still keep the victim alive. His underling, Yoneda, mocks Kuze as a weakling, and is proven to be an easily-angered idiot when Tachibana is able to easily goad Yoneda into killing him, thus denying the Dojima clan any info they planned on getting out of Tachibana. | |

Lethal Joke Weapon: The Slime, Zap and Smoke Guns were meant to be utility weapons that knock enemies down, but don't work on boss-level characters. However, for some reason, they're the only firearms that deal anything other than Scratch Damage to said bosses, including even the Mr. Shakedowns and the Amon family. Zap Guns in particular are obscenely effective, dealing as much damage on a single shot as a top-class weapon Heat Action. | |

Something We Forgot: Kanehara kidnaps Yuki right before the Cabaret Club battle for the Venus area, and it's up to Majima and his girls to win in order to save her. Unfortunately for Yuki, they're all so excited to have Chika join their team that they completely forget about her, although Ai suspects they're forgetting something. As they step inside, poor Yuki is left tied up two floors above them, but she manages to return to work safely on her own. | |

Continuity Cameo: One of Majima's sidequests has him deal with a young Ryuji Goda. As in, back when he was a grade schooler. One of Kiryu's substories also features Ryuji on a field trip in Tokyo. Kan Ogita from Yakuza 5 can be met in one of the disco substories with Kiryu. Dolce Kamiya, the Princess League's announcer in 5, appears as a radio host, and gives prizes to Kiryu and Majima for getting their post cards read on his show. In one substory, Kiryu meets a young Daigo Dojima, who played a major role in Yakuza 2 and would eventually become chairman of the Tojo Clan, something his father Sohei never accomplished. Another substory for Kiryu features a young Shinji Tanaka, who was a member of a bosozoku gang and mugged yakuza, before Kiryu turned his life around and became his "aniki". | |

Gambit Pileup: The whole plot of the game was masterminded by three individuals — Kazama, Shimano and Shibusawa, who all pursued their own goals. All of their plans relied on intricate planning, but only Kazama managed to remain on top in the end, being able to foresee most of the events — except for Majima's interference. | |

Historical In-Joke | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_dfe57573 | comment |
Historical In-Joke: The "Lost Decade", a period in the 90's where Japan's economy collapsed and started a long recession, is implied to have been caused by Majima giving a tax collector some advice that was a bit too on the mark. Kiryu's "Arakure Quest" substory is one to the Japanese release of Dragon Quest III all the way back in 1988. To say that Dragon Quest III was popular in Japan is a gross understatement. It was popular enough to the point that people were outright getting mugged on the streets for their copies, which was pretty much unheard of. The game even acknowledges this, with one substory involving Kiryu's attempts to recover a boy's stolen copy of the newly-released Arakure Quest. | |

Optional Boss | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_e0606d52 | comment |
Optional Boss: The game is filled to the brink with them. Mr. Shakedowns - gigantic brutes walking around the streets, itching for a fight with you. Fighting them is optional, since they will only ever pursue you at a leisurely stroll. This is a good thing, because they have a lot of health, deal ridiculous amounts of damage, cannot be staggered or knocked down, are immune to most HEAT actions, and take all your money upon defeat. On the other hand, they give ridiculous amounts of money if you defeat them. The Five Billionaires in Real Estate Royale and the Five Stars in the Cabaret Club Czar storylines, although only three are fought in the latter. Both storylines reveal a Greater-Scope Villain that must be beaten, and defeating them each unlocks the Legendary fighting styles for their respective characters. Some of the substories and training missions end with particularly difficult opponents to qualify, such as Guru Munan Suzuki and Hiroya the Debt King. As a series staple, members of the Amon Clan become available as bosses when you complete all substories. However, since Jo Amon doesn't fight Kiryu until Yakuza, Majima does - Kiryu fights his father So Amon instead. David Diabol, the strongest fighter in the Bed of Styx. | |

Turns Red: When Mr. Shakedown enemies have their health reduced to a certain point, they become enveloped in a yellow aura, become stronger, and fight more aggressively. Random enemies can also go into this state when their buddies are beaten, but taunting them can instantly provoke them into doing it as well. Boss characters also gain glowing auras after their health is reduced to a certain threshold that powers them up. | |

Call-Forward | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: One of Kiryu's substories has him protecting a Michael Jackson Expy from actors dressed as zombies. Afterwards, Kiryu muses how he's never gonna deal with zombies again. He will. Multiple times. Komeki at one point mentions that battling a tiger unarmed would be a fool's errand indeed. Years later, Kiryu pulls it off. When defeated, Jo tells Majima he'll spend the next 17 years doing intensive training and that once he's done, even people stronger than Majima will regret crossing paths with him. Likewise, So challenges Kiryu because he had a prophetic dream of his future exploits in Yakuza and how he will become a threat to the Amon Clan's reputation. When defeated, the man swears that his family will get revenge even if it takes 17 years. Bacchus continually mentions to Kiryu to watch out for himself, otherwise he'll get knifed in the ribs someday. Although this does relate to Bacchus' backstory, Kiryu eventually will get a knife in the ribs many years later. And it wouldn't be the last. At the conclusion of a substory featuring a large kid named Ryuji Goda, Majima muses on how this badass sixth-grader is "a dragon in the making". After winning Kamurocho's dance scene back from Ogita, he tells Kiryu he wants to be a dance instructor, and if he ever has kids, to send them his way and he'll teach them how to dance. Kiryu gets his fortune read in a substory, and learns about a girl worth 10 billion yen, being in jail after taking the fall for a close friend, fighting a viper, raising 8 kids, and becoming a taxi driver. He's then told he'll meet a young man whose fate will be entangled with his. He bumps into Ryuji Goda, who's visiting Kamurocho on a school trip. The very last challenge mode is a Boss Rush for Kiryu that ends with a fight against Nishikiyama, alluding to the end of Yakuza. To drive the point home, an area that resembles the one in Yakuza 1 is used over the one from 0. Nishiki mentions that he sympathizes with Tachibana, saying that, like him, he has a younger sister, and he cannot imagine what he would do if she was ever in danger. In the ending/epilogue, Kiryu buys himself a new suit familiar to longtime fans. Nishiki tries to convince his friend to reconsider his fashion choice. It doesn't work. The pose Kiryu strikes and is freeze framed on upon mastering the Dragon of Dojima style is identical to one seen on the Japanese cover art of the first game. | |

Cult: One of Majima's substories deals with rescuing a girl from a Scam Religion that isolates its members from friends and family, while offering spiritual enlightenment in exchange for titherances (in other words, cold hard yen). As an added bonus, chosen female members can engage in special prayer with the cult's Dirty Old Guru. The cult is clearly modeled after the infamous real-life doomsday cult Aum Shinrikyo, which was steadily growing during this time period. | |

Freudian Slip | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_e8ca5cb3 | comment |
Freudian Slip: The Telephone Club minigame is all about avoiding this. During the minigame, you are chatting with a pretty girl over the phone, and she will ask you questions. One correct answer and several very inappropriate answers will then bounce around the screen, and you'll have to shoot the right one with your "phone beam". Shoot a bad answer, and your character will blurt out something inappropriate ("You make me feel raunchy" instead of "relaxed") or nonsensical ("I like kangaroos" instead of "karaoke"). Between sets of questions, you also need to stop a roulette wheel on the right answer to ask the girl to describe herself or ask to meet her. Once again, time it wrong and you'll instead say something inappropriate like "Are you a guy?" or "I want a one-night stand!" | |

Freudian Trio | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_e8cae797 | comment |
Freudian Trio: Shibusawa, Kuze and Awano are a textbook example. Awano is the Id, being The Hedonist and dressing in loud colors. Shibusawa is the Superego, being a cunning, very polite spymaster with an unassuming appearance. Kuze is the Ego, driven by a base emotion - pride - but balancing it out with pragmatism and experience while also looking rugged and business-like. | |

Period Piece | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_eab212a8 | comment |
Period Piece: Due to being a prequel, it differentiates itself from other titles that were at least set in the same years they were released. Yakuza 0 is a period piece set at the height of Japan's economic boom, circa 1988. Glitz, glamour, opulence and shallow materialism are absolutely everywhere; people in Kamurocho and Sotenbori are so loaded that beating up goons literally showers you in money. | |

Evil Old Folks: One of Sagawa's goons is an old man passing as a beggar, and he is brutal with his crowbar. Kuze is no spring chicken, either; however, he's more of a Noble Demon than a straight-out villain. | |

Innocent Innuendo: The end of the Hi-Tech Land Sega employee substories are rife with this. When Luka challenges Kiryu to beat her high score in OutRun, she promises to take him on the ride of his life. As it turns out, she was talking about a new arcade game, Super Hang-On. Kyoko challenges Majima to beat her high score and promises to show him her "fantasy zone". She does exactly that and brings out a Fantasy Zone arcade game. | |

Dumbass Has a Point | |

Dumbass Has a Point: Yuki Sato, the second Mr. Shakedown in Kamurocho, gushes about how much he's starting to enjoy fighting Kiryu after being defeated enough times. Kiryu asks him why he doesn't put his skills to use boxing instead, since a heavyweight like him could easily rake in big money legitimately. Sato scornfully brushes off the idea of doing what he does for profit, saying that it's merely an excuse to make people fight their hardest. After he leaves, Kiryu reflects on what he said and concedes that he has a point. | |

Mercy Kill | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_f3626b09 | comment |
Mercy Kill: Nishikiyama almost does this to Kiryu at the end of Chapter 6: he reasons that if the Dojima Family get their hands on Kiryu, they'd torture him and draw out his suffering, so killing him before then would've been merciful. In the end, Nishikiyama can't go through with it because he can't kill the man who is effectively his brother, making it a subversion. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: The first time he's fought, Kuze warns Kiryu that the Yakuza toughs he just bulldozed through were just a warm-up. He isn't kidding; unless you know how to use both Dodge and Guard well, Kuze will wreck you. He also tests the player's mastery of swapping stances based on the situation; at the start of the fight, Kiryu can use Brawler to trade blows with him more-or-less on even ground, but once Kuze Turns Red and starts throwing guard-breaking attacks into his comboes, Rush becomes a superior option. | |

Product Placement | |
| Yakuza 0 (Video Game) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: A few to go around, some being an Anachronism Stew while others are period appropriate. You can buy Mountain Dew and 7-Up from convenience stores, and look at covers for magazines such as Famicom Tsushin (better known today as Famitsu). One Sub Story flipflops between being an extended advertisement for the real world Japanese Pizza-la pizza chain, and a comedy of errors brought about but a woman's inability to pronounce "P"'s and "B's" properly. | |

His staff and other customers can only stare in shock, while Majima takes the slight without so much as blinking. | |

Battle Strip: Especially later on in the game, boss fights often have the Yakuza participants clutch their shoulder and tear off their clothes from the waist up - shirt, tie and jacket, somehow all in one motion - revealing the tattoos on their backs. The only time it's realistically done is with the first two fights against Kuze. | |

Real After All: The clerk at Sotenbori's adult video store tells Majima about a "mysterious video-tape" that's held by a ghostly woman in white. Sure enough, he finds a strange woman lurking in the back alleys who's clearly freezing; after he gives her some hot noodles to warm her up, the woman gives him a video tape, which he takes back to the store to watch. However, the two find that the tape contains nothing but static and strange moaning. Disappointed, the two of them leave.. at which point the TV turns back on, showing the woman in white inside of the room, smiling at the camera and saying she's not cold anymore. | |

You Shouldn't Know This Already: Averted. During the drug test substory one of the drugs makes you uncontrollably switch between Majima's three base styles. This will happen even if you complete the substory before learning all three of them. If you attempt to enter Little Asia before Chapter 10, Kiryu says to himself that he shouldn't be poking around there and turns back. Otherwise it would defeat the point of Oda introducing him to the back-alley district proper, and the fact that the place is a refuge for Chinese immigrants. | |

Even the music that plays for lesser battles during the Cabaret Club Czar storyline is named "Interplanetary Spark". The three names of a telephone club girl, a "sakura" for leaving guys stood up: Asakura, Sakurako, and Sakurai. | |
