Sprawling, enthralling, and packed with dynamic brawling, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth isn’t just the best turn-based Like a Dragon game, it’s one of the greatest games in the entire series.
While brainstorming for a new video idea, I went and tried to pinpoint the exact location of where the Infinite Wealth trailer takes place. After some research, I'm about 96% sure that it is set on the island of O'ahu in Hawaii, more specifically on Waikiki beach in Honolulu.
An update for the Richardson in Like A Dragon 8 ordeal: Kson is in the same bar as him. An important bar in the story that have a likeness character, along with a potential old character that was presumed to die in Yakuza 3....Sound familiar?
A new survey has been sent out which asks players what brands they have or haven't heard of including things such as:
- The Boondocks
- Om Nom
- Atarashii Gakko!
- Five Nights at Freddy's
- Club Penguin
- One-Punch Man
- Doctor Who
- One Piece
- Yakuza
- Frogger

So I did a small analysis of the behind the scenes look of the live action Yakuza/Like a Dragon Prime Video show. I mainly focused on finding hidden details and things that have been overlooked by the community. In this thread I'll share a few things that I've found.🧵
BREAKING: A few minutes after the stream ended, RGG Studios' main page published a video before it was quickly privated again. We managed to save it just in time before it was taken offline.
The trooper card system is a genuinely good addition to Ishin. It spices up the combat by a lot and prevents the gameplay from getting stale. Next to that, it's fun to use, wacky as hell and fits perfectly in the tones of these games. I will die on this hill.
Every time I realize my channel is close to 100k subs I panic on the inside and I just can't figure out what special to do. I'm going to end up with making a marinated chicken cooking tutorial.
I desperately need RGG to confirm what time the summit takes place next week. I don't want to wake up at 4 in the morning to see the 8 minute gaiden trailer again followed by two new screenshots of Ichi's bare fucking ass.
Could this new Character be a face claim model for Korean actor Kim Jae-Wook? Many RGG fans in South Korea and Japan seem to think so as I read reactions to yesterday's trailer.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name has entertaining gadget-heavy combat and gives a satisfying bit of back story to account for Kiryu’s presence in Hawaii, but mostly leaves us craving next year's Infinite Wealth. Our review:

Imagine successfully faking your death, evading the public eye for multiple years, becoming a secret agent, putting a halt to multiple nationwide conspiracies and securing a safe future for your family... only to have your cover get blown by dr. Han and a fucking vtuber
Everyone has a different moveset. Only Joryu can perform heat actions. However, everyone has a special ability that rises over time. For example: Gary does his taunt from kiwami 2 whereas the sheep man pulls out a fucking rocket launcher.
Although the landmarks being compared in the image are not 100% alike, they appear to have a strong resemblance and are placed similarly. Also the fact that both places turn out to be very popular tourist spots confirms my suspicion that in my eyes this is Waikiki in LAD8.
Losing half of my real estate progress in Yakuza 0 after not having saved for multiple hours. Once you learn, you never make the same mistake ever again.
Idk how I only got notified of this now, but apparently someone on Tiktok who has a similar name to me, was exposed a few weeks ago for doing some questionable stuff online. Some people seem to mix me up in all of this, so to clear things up: THE TIKTOK GUY IS NOT ME. Stay safe.
One of the first things present in the video is highly likely an adaptation of one of the more notable running gags in the games: 'Mr Try and Hit me'. In this scene, Kiryu (yes, it's his actor) seems to be taking up this mantle while Nishiki is in the back collecting payment.

Yes, just like the Kahakai magazine it is a dead giveaway that it's Hawaii but as you might know the island group is very big. And aside from the landmarks there's no real indicator of where exactly the trailer takes place + I was bored and wanted a break from After Effects lol
It’s no secret that
@SEGA
and
@RGGStudio
have been quiet about a Western physical release of “Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name.” So, we need to make some noise.
We need to let them know that their loyal fans WANT THIS RELEASE! Let them know!

I've played Like a Dragon Gaiden. I'll be giving my thoughts on it in the thread below. Feel free to ask me anything, I'll do my best to provide answers:
This one might just be a coincidence, but a hotel called 'Elise' seems to be present on the set. For those unaware: Shun Akiyama, one of the protagonists of Yakuza 4/5, is the owner of a cabaret club with this exact name.
I cannot overstate how incredibly, wonderfully fun Like a Dragon Gaiden's arena is. Hands down the best arena in the franchise. It's like the ultimate love letter to it before (perhaps temporarily) going back to turn-based gameplay for 8.
It is with great honor that I am able to announce that I will be playing the role of Taichi in the upcoming Like a Dragon Gaiden.
I can also proudly confirm that after these, Taichi will star as the main lead in six other projects including a live action movie.
This post and its comments make me want to slam my head into a brick wall. Ain't no way y'all are this upset over a voice gig you haven't even heard yet. "🤓👆uhh akshually we are talking abt how sub is supe-" I LITERALLY DID NOT ASK. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT YOU SO SHUT UP AND LEAVE
Quickly after this, we're getting shown a scene where Kiryu and Nishiki are walking on Tenkaichi Street. In one of the shots, both Kiryu and Nishiki can be seen wearing a Tojo Clan pin, not one specific to any family, but to the clan in general.
