Haruka isn’t happy with being sidelined, and it’s up to Kiryu to keep her from getting into too much trouble! ---

There are “plot-related” cutscenes in this episode, but honestly, you can safely skip it. :tw: Haruka went through some shit last time, so her new Uncle Kiryu is going to do his best to cheer her up! ---

Having played all the Yakuzas with Akimoto and Mizuki, I can assure you that they don’t get any better, but that I do have their cries of “Akimoto-kun!” and “Mizuki-chan!” stuck in my head for all eternity. Oh no, Chinchironin. I’ve started replaying the first two Suikodens now that Eiyuden is a thing and I’m not looking forward to the bullshit that is II’s version of that game. Thankfully, that sidequest is the longest screentime Emoto gets. ---

It’s time for Nishki to finally make his return to the story! If you’re only familiar with him through Yakuza 0, this episode is probably going to be more than a little jarring. ---

In a more supportive society, being slammed bodily through a table by Kiryu would not be a threat to one’s livelihood. Therefore, it is not Kiryu’s fault if you lose your crime-restaurant job and die homeless. That’s on capitalism. ---

Personally, I think it veers closer to “clueless dumb-ass transphobia” than “active malice transphobia,” but you don’t have to put up with either if you do not want to. This episode, we tackle yet more sidequests! There are, like, an absurd number of sidequests that open up at this moment given what’s supposed to be happening in the main story! ---
