Uh-oh! Despite his initial suave and cool appearance, Akiyama spends this whole chapter getting cancelled for being a creep! Oh well, I'm sure nothing like this will happen again in this game, now time to take a big sip of coffee...

Not only do we have a new game, we have a new protagonist! Handsome and suave and kind of a fucking mess, it's fan favorite Akiyama in a banger intro chapter to what is, within the show at least, one of the more disliked games in the series. Will that opinion hold up? Let's find out!

Oh no! Oh man, oh god, oh man! This is Chapter 11 of Yakuza 3: Crisis and it's a BAD time. This week, Kiryu has a bad time! Plus, we've got a very special (and extra infuriating) Essence of Education from Argyle. Rest in peace, my sweet angel :'(

We get our one last respite of blessed orphan content... or do we? Not to name names, but there's certainly at least one of these little urchins we could do without. Unfortunately we do eventually have to get back to the actual story of the game, but it's a decent enough boss fight at least. Remember to vote!

Oh no, our boy died (just kidding he just has asthma). Kiryu is back in Okinawa with his children, and you love to see it! This week, Kiryu lights up the room with his phone and does a little bit of wrasslin'! On the side, he becomes fluent in English and then immediately forgets all of it.

This week, Argyle and Jordan joined friends of the show and hosts of Video Games: the Movie: the Podcast Dan and Maxie to discuss Takashi Miike's...very unique 2007 movie that is...based on(?) the video game Yakuza (2005). Essential viewing for any Yakuza fan.
