Every Major LaD Character’s Status Before Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

As a seasoned connoisseur of all things Yakuza, I must say that I am absolutely thrilled with the intricate web of plotlines and character arcs that the latest installment, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, has woven. The richness of detail and the attention to continuity is truly commendable.

The characters’ post-Infinite Wealth status is particularly fascinating, as it leaves ample room for speculation about their roles in the upcoming Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. I must admit, the prospect of Daigo Dojima, Taiga Saejima, and Goro Majima appearing as fishermen in Hokkaido one moment, and then mysteriously ending up stranded in Hawaii the next, has me utterly intrigued.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go rewatch all the previous games just to make sure I haven’t missed any crucial details that might shed light on this enigma. And remember folks, always keep an eye out for those hidden Easter eggs – you never know when a certain bald-headed, chain-wielding madman might pop up!

In the sequel Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, the storyline is expected to continue from where it was left off in the 2024 release, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The conclusion of Infinite Wealth is likely to set the stage for the events that will unfold in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Although many plotlines are resolved by the end of Infinite Wealth, some are left unresolved, which will be picked up again in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Analyzing the positions of the main characters at the end of the latest installment in the series could provide a hint about the why and how the upcoming game’s events will develop.

In the game “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii,” Goro Majima returns as the main character after a significant absence, but it’s worth noting the paths of other key characters leading up to this game. These characters may make appearances in this title or influence the plot in future games like “Like a Dragon 9.” While some characters have clear roles following the ending of “Infinite Wealth,” those with uncertain fates could significantly impact “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

Major Spoilers for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Ahead

Kiryu’s Story Seems Largely Wrapped Up

It’s Unlikely Kiryu Will Play a Major Role in Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

A crucial event in the story of “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth” was Kiryu’s battle against cancer, which left the long-time series hero significantly weakened by the game’s conclusion. Following their confrontation with the final boss, Masataka Ebina, Kiryu is depicted collapsing. The post-credits scene reveals him being taken to a hospital for his cancer treatment. Despite his survival and ongoing cancer care, it seems unlikely that we will see Kiryu in “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii,” as it appears his days of fighting have come to an end.

Kasuga and Co. Remain in Japan

There is Potential for Some Cameos in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Ichiban Kasuga and his companions wrap up “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth” in Yokohama, thwarting the plans of Ebina and Bryce Fairchild. For now, it appears that these characters will stay in Japan, making it unlikely they’ll show up in “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.” Given that the new game takes place six months after the events of “Infinite Wealth,” it seems doubtful that most of them would return to Hawaii so swiftly.

As a seasoned gamer with years of gaming under my belt, I find it quite intriguing to speculate about potential cameos in upcoming games like “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.” Being well-versed in the stories and characters from previous installments, I can’t help but notice that Eric Tomizawa, the newcomer introduced in Infinite Wealth, seems like an excellent candidate for a cameo.

Having followed his journey from dismantling Bryce Fairchild’s Palekana leadership to his desire to help rebuild the organization under its original, charitable aims, I can easily envision him being back in Hawaii by the time “Pirate Yakuza” takes place. With his connections and background, he could potentially play a role in the game’s narrative, adding depth and richness to the storyline.

I eagerly await more details about this exciting new title, and I can’t wait to see if Eric Tomizawa makes an appearance!

Dojima, Saejima, and Majima Are the Biggest Question Marks

The Trio’s Post-Infinite Wealth Status Could Play a Key Role in How Majima Ends Up Stranded in Hawaii

In the aftermath of the “Infinite Wealth” storyline, those characters with unresolved plot threads may have the greatest influence on the “Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii”. At first, Daigo Dojima, Taiga Saejima, and Goro Majima appear as fishermen in a secluded region of Hokkaido post-Great Dissolution of the Tojo Clan. Yet, they unexpectedly reappear just in time to aid Kiryu in assaulting the Millenium Tower and defeating Ebina during the climax of the game. In the end, they are shown watching a helicopter transport Kiryu to the hospital following the final confrontation.

As a dedicated fan, I’m left pondering the intriguing mystery of how Majima will transition from his final standoff in Infinite Wealth to his tropical beach debut in Pirate Yakuza, set in Hawaii. The enigmatic conclusion of these characters in Infinite Wealth leaves ample room for speculation, and that includes potential cameos in the upcoming game.

Saejima has already been teased in trailers for Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, so it’s not far-fetched to imagine Dojima might join him. After all, when it comes to these characters, anything is possible!
