Ryuji Goda and the Ryu-Go clan

You’ll meet Matsumura at Wild Jackson; have a chat with him. Once done, you’ll head to Bishamon Bridge and talk to a homeless gentleman. Finally, head south of Wild Jackson to Matsumura’s office. You’ll need to fight two thugs here, but despite looking tough, they aren’t anything special. Now, you’ll head to Ashitaba Park. Here you’ll face a whole group of Yakuza, including a tougher boxer-type.Just make sure you come prepared and with a full Heat Gauge so that you can take out all the goons and then focus on the primary boss.

Head to the Northeast section of the map. You fight three standard street thugs here. But after fighting that trio of weaklings you will be in for a battle against the one and only Ryuji Goda. I mean, if itisn’thim, then it must be his twin brother, as the resemblance is remarkable.Ryuji hits pretty hard, so you will want to wait for him to attack, then dodge around him and attack his back.

After Ryuji makes a badass getaway, you will nowhead to South Shofukucho, where after a series of events, you will face off against another Ryuji Goda, and he’s just as cool as the last one!ThisRyuji will fight with a Katana. However, despite this, he isn’t quite as formidable as the last one.Just sidestep his awkward slashes and punish him.

Finally, you will be off to Ashitaba Park, where you will enter into the Ryuji Goda clan HQ and battle the Go-Ryu Clan Patriarch. The patriarch is the toughest foe you will have fought yet, he will also attack you with a whole hang of his lackeys.Take out the Yakuza with the gun first, then focus on clearing the rest out with your Agent Style(preferably while in Heat Mode). Once it is just you and the patriarch switch to your Yakuza Mode, dodge his attacks, and land combos to his back.

15,000 pts, 1,000,000 yen

Head to Shofukucho where you will confront a mysterious, yet somehow familiar, man. You’re going to have to confront him with your fists, of course. He is shockingly fast and hitsprettyhard.So, get ready to sidestep him and make sure you have plenty of healing items on hand—just in case.

Now, move on to W Shofukucho and talk to the homeless man outside the convenience store. From here, you will have a conversation, then agree to join forces with your newfound Golden Gorilla friend. After doing a little detective work, you’ll confront four pretty soft Yakuza. Now, it is time for the rematch…

This time, your powerful pal will be going all-out. So, he’ll come equipped with a full four health bars, and he hits even harder than before.He likes to use a drop kick whenever you aren’t in punching distance, so wait for him to use it, sidestep it, and attack while he is vulnerable.He can armor through attacks, so, you are best not fully committing to charged attacks. Just peck away at him with your faster jab combo. After you beat him, head to the Bishimon Bridge.

Like a Dragon Gaiden, Akame Network Requests, Seeking Advice

Head into the building just south of the bridge and help your best buddy out. While there will be a whole gang of Yakuza in here, including multiple heavy goons, you will have two rather robust companions to help you out.Just focus on taking out the guy with the gun first, then clear out the rest(ideally, in your Agent Style Heat Mode).

Once you clear this mission, you will recruittwovery special characters to your Coliseum team.

3,000 pts, 300,000 yen

Head to the location on the map (it’s onS Shofukucho). Unfortunately, you will be interrupted when you bump into a familiar face. While you will lose sight of your target, you will be given a piece of vital information. Head north, and stake out the business across from the SEGA Arcade onSotenbori St.,Etsuko will, once again, ruin your life.

Like A Dragon Gaiden, The Strongest Convenience Store Clerk

You will be given three options, but none of them will dissuade her. Now,head to East Shofukucho. You can probably guess what’s going to happen next… You’ll follow the men into a restaurant. Things will get tense, but worry not, the intrepid Etsuko will pull your buns out of the fire. With that, you will have successfully completed your mission. Kind of.

Go meet the client at the Smile Burger. From here, you will follow Kitayama on his ghost-hunting adventure. There really isn’t much to do here, just sit back and enjoy this substory.

Like a Dragon Gaiden, Akame Network Requests, Save The Wrestler

The Smile Burger has a second floor, that is where you will find the client.

Eventually, however, you will be confronted by a murderer named Morimoto. This killer uses a knife and has two health bars.Wait for them to swipe at you with their knife, then sidestep and punish them.If you take a more reactive approach you will find victory.

Go talk to Genta Kusano Smile Burger. You’ll need to follow him to the Iwata bridge, and then Sotenbori. You’re going to have to tussle with a robust foe, so get ready to switch to your Yakuza Style, circle, and punish. Once you have flattened him, Kusano will run off again. Head to the footpaths and you will see him confessing to Takaishi. You’ll now have another, pretty unremarkable, fight. Once you crush this opponent you will conclude this mission.

4,000 pts

This one is a quickie.Talk to Yamanaka in Ashitaba Park.Accept his challenge and prove your strength. Once you beat him, Yamanaka will join your Coliseum team.

Head over to the Shofukucho Poppo and interact with Tobashira the convenience store clerk.He’ll tell you that he can’t fight alongside you due to his oppressive work schedule. Naturally, since Joryu is pro-worker’s rights, you will team up with the overworked clerk to rough that manager up. This will be an extremely one-sided fight:especiallysince it is two on one.

However, now Tobashira will have a hunger for battle, a hunger only your knuckle sandwiches will satiate. You will go toe-to-toe with this so-called strongest clerk. Tobashira is tougher than the manager, but other than being relatively durable,he doesn’t really have any particularly potent tricks up his sleeve.He is pretty evasive and hits hard,but you will be able to sidestep his attacks and punish him relatively consistently.

Once you beat Tobashira, he will agree to join your Coliseum team.

Meet Sujiya under the Iwao Bridge. He’ll have you hand out pamphlets to a dozen people or so around Sotenbori.There is no time limit for this task, so you can just take this quest and gradually hand fliers out as you go about completing other substories.

Once you have passed out all the fliers, head back to the W Sotenbori Footpass and talk to Sujiya. After a cutscene, you will have a chance to test his mettle.Just be mindful of his grab attacks, as these will deal a hefty amount of damage.
