One Like a Dragon Faction Could Set the World On Fire in a Spin-Off

Highlights

  • The Geomijul in Like a Dragon could be a prime choice for a spin-off.
  • Seonhee and Han are strong candidates for spin-off protagonists given their unique set of skills.
  • Geomijul could offer unique gameplay through information gathering and stealth, similar to the Judgment games.

As a longtime fan of the Yakuza series who has spent countless hours navigating the seedy underbelly of Kamurocho and its surrounding areas, I can confidently say that it’s high time for the Geomijul to take center stage in their very own spin-off game. With their unique blend of information gathering, stealth, and an extensive network of allies, they have all the makings of a dynamic and engaging protagonist duo – Seonhee and Han, if you haven’t already guessed!

There is one faction in the Like a Dragon universe that could be the center of an interesting new spin-off. Ever since the beginning of the Like a Dragon series, Kiryu, and later Ichiban, have been fighting against various criminal organizations, all with their own goals. The ever-growing underworld of the franchise has led to both enemies and allies for the protagonists. In particular, one organization could be ready to take a step up and have a spin-off game entirely focused on them.

In the latest era of “Like a Dragon”, the playable characters aren’t the first to have allies alongside the main character, but they do mark a notable shift. Unlike previous protagonists like Kiryu, who often find themselves as the sole combatant in most battles, these new characters are part of a larger group. While Kiryu has had numerous friends and acquaintances, he typically fights his major battles solo. A spin-off that focuses on a protagonist within a large organization would, therefore, offer a different, more team-oriented experience compared to the usual solo adventures of Kiryu.

Like a Dragon’s Geomijul Are Prime Candidates For a Spin-Off

Geomijul is a Major Player in Like a Dragon’s Yokohama

Among the intriguing groups emerging after Ichiban took on the lead role in ‘Dragon’s Protagonist’, we have the Geomijul, a unique Korean gang situated in Yokohama. Unlike other gangs portrayed in the series, the Geomijul specialize in information gathering, functioning as the city’s unofficial spies. They possess near-comprehensive knowledge of Yokohama’s happenings and are often willing to disclose this information for a fee. Their influence significantly increased post ‘Yakuza: Like a Dragon’, with their leader Seonhee also taking control of the Yokohama Liumang remnants. Speculation about the Geomijul’s future in ‘Like a Dragon’ is a topic that invites much discussion and theory.

Seonhee and Han Could Both Be Fantastic Spin-Off Protagonists

As a gamer, I’m excited about the prospect of a new game focusing on the Geomijul, where I could choose between two compelling characters: Seonhee and Joongi Han from Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Seonhee, the head of the Geomijul, is not only a strategic mastermind but also a formidable fighter, as demonstrated in Infinite Wealth. On the other hand, Han is one of Seonhee’s trusted allies and a formidable combatant in his own right, showcasing his skills in stealth to save Ichiban’s party from Mabuchi’s underlings. Both characters have strong claims for leading a spin-off game centered around the Geomijul, making it hard to choose just one!

The Geomijul’s Information Gathering Could Lead To Intriguing Gameplay

In the realm of Geomijul, there’s a rich pool of potential main characters that could excel. It might draw inspiration from the offshoot series of Like a Dragon, namely Judgment, focusing on its detective elements. Given that Geomijul is centered around information, gameplay could involve collecting data, reminiscent of Takayuki Yagami from Judgment. This mechanism would serve dual purposes: enhancing the main storyline as players unravel the broader narrative, and enriching side-stories, especially puzzles. The abilities necessary for Geomijul members could be pivotal in crafting a distinctive Like a Dragon spin-off.

In a potential spin-off game focusing on the Geomijul, both Seonhee and Han make compelling cases for taking the lead role.

In an innovative twist, the Geomijul characters might shine brighter in a standalone spin-off of the “Like a Dragon” series, following the conclusion of “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth”. With numerous possibilities for the narrative’s progression, a subsequent spin-off presents an intriguing prospect. If developed, the Geomijul could claim the limelight, leveraging their appeal from the successful “Judgment” games, where they blend combat and investigative elements effectively. The next “Like a Dragon” spin-off could serve as an exciting platform to delve deeper into the Geomijul’s backstory.
