However, just because the bullies were terrible people does not mean they were exempt from any meaningful connections.
Kuwana's targets are all bullies who had driven their victims to commit suicide. Especially if your inputs are imprecise during said QTEs. While not stated within the game itself, you can also use the directional pad instead of the analog stick during the Quick Time Events that require tilting the analog stick (such as during either of Tesso's encounters).Fortunately, there's also a fair bit of health pickups scattered throughout the arena to make the fight less tedious. With the boss fight against Akutsu in Chapter 7 being a No-Gear Level, Yagami won't have access to any of his healing items or even Extracts to level the playing field with.If you're unsure of what you're looking for during the Active Seach Mode segments of the game, there is now a button (L2/LT) that allows Yagami to stop and think about what he's looking for.The Snake style allows you to relieve any armed enemies of their weapon (Circle/B while grabbing them), which is especially helpful against enemies armed with swords or guns.Post-battle rewards as a whole also work very similarly to those of Yakuza 0's, where you have a list of different actions that will net you varying amounts of SP (e.g., "Legend Conqueror" for defeating enemies using all three styles in a single encounter).
However, it also comes at the expense of inflation compared to the previous game, as these skills are also some of the most expensive in the game. There is now an ability (Battle Bonus) that increases the SP payout after every enemy encounter, earning you upwards of 1,000 SP depending on your playstyle.After a different gameplay segment (e.g., parkour, chasing), any health lost during that segment will be restored when going into actual combat immediately afterward.Style switching is now near-instantaneous like it was for Kiryu in Yakuza Kiwami, allowing Yagami to juggle enemies seamlessly in the air.It also carries the added benefit of preventing any unwanted enemy encounters while in the streets. This game introduces the skateboard for Yagami, which is a very helpful tool to get around Kamurocho and Ijincho much quicker.Carrying over from Yakuza: Like a Dragon, you can now simply fast travel with a taxi straight from your phone (the pause menu) instead of finding the nearest one, which is especially handy in Ijincho, due to its massive size.Like in the last game, Yagami has unlimited stamina, so you can keep running around Kamurocho and especially Ijincho to your heart's content.However, it's still pretty restricted, as Saori can't freely explore Kamurocho and she obviously can't fight to the degree that Yagami does. This time around, the player does have some more control of her, such as being able to play as her from a third-person perspective (as opposed to being restricted to a first-person view in the first game), save your game, or promptly pull out your phone and take a picture with Hoshino, Genda, and/or Yagami. She's briefly playable in Chapters 6 and 11.
And Now for Someone Completely Different: Once again, Saori.All of the Other Reindeer: In chapter 1, as Tsukumo is discussing the bullying cases piling up, he mentions just how primitive and ancient bullying is by saying that it serves both a hormonal function in people's brains and it was the first form of societal justice - those who did not conform or contribute to society were ostracized.An Aesop: As hammered home throughout the story, bullying ultimately does damage to everyone involved in the long-run, so it's better to intervene before it can get worse.Cassandra Lee Morris portraying a tsundere in Itokura? Color us surprised.This wouldn't be the first time Matthew Yang King voiced an ex-yakuza assassin, as Oni can attest.Kyoko Amasawa mentions that she's familiar with playing darts, although she's also willing to use the darts on bad guys.
