![]() ![]() The mother apologizes and begs mercy for herself and her daughter, but the joshi don't care and smack the mother to the ground, saying that if the girl dies then that's just fate and she should know better than to break ranks and try to defy them. The joshi stop her and ask what she thinks she's doing. Ryoma joins the crowds in paying respects to the joshi, but ultimately the mother cannot take the cries from her daughter and breaks ranks to try and get some medicine. Before the mother can leave to find help, though, a pair of joshi (higher-caste samurai) begin strolling through town, and the townsfolk (being lower-caste goshi) must part and bow to them as they pass by. A nearby doctor inspects her and tells the girl's mother that it's her appendix, and she'll need Western medicine if she is to get better. As he wanders into town, there is a commotion ahead: a young girl doubles over in pain while her mother calls for help. Ryoma returns to his home in Tosa after spending a year training his swordsmanship in Edo (modern day Tokyo). Powerless against the advanced Western weapons, the samurai and the shogunate realized how weak their rule was, and as samurai do not serve weak rulers civil unrest began to form among the populace. ![]() The real Ryoma narrates what lead up to that point: for 300 years Japan had been under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate (the Bakufu), but the arrival of American warships under command of Commodore Matthew Perry destabilized and would ultimately undo the Bakufu. "Sakamoto Ryoma", famed hero of the Ishin period, was murdered that night. The third man says it's ironic that a man so set on moving to the future would get cut down by another stuck so firmly in the past, a man who isn't supposed to exist killing a man with two lives. The viewpoint character finds another injured samurai in the room before a third man sitting at the window draws his attention. The viewpoint character continues on to find the upper level of the inn seemingly empty, narrowly avoiding an ambush from a gunman before cutting the attacker down. As three of their number fight off the guards, the viewpoint character charges upstairs, his compatriots telling him to find Sakamoto Ryoma before he can escape.

Unlike the other franchise entries, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will follow its predecessor, and will be a turn-based party combat game, instead of the real time combat the other mainline games favour. Last seen teaming up with Kazuma Kiryu in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will follow the two protagonists in a ‘larger-than-life RPG adventure’ set in motion ‘by an unexpected chain of events’ according to the studio. No doubt both this game and the upcoming Like a Dragon: The Man Who Erased His Name will be shown off in far more depth, and maybe we’ll find out more about the mysterious globe-trotting exploits of Ichiban. We won’t have very long to wait before we get answers to the many questions the trailer has brought us, with Ryu ga Gotoku having their own showcase on June 15th. ![]()
