Summary

  • Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will take place one year after the events of Infinite Wealth, which fans of the series stressed about Kiryu.
  • Kiryu tells Ichiban and friends in Infinite Wealth that he has six months left to live, so it's possible that the Dragon of Dojima may have died.
  • In fact, fans are theorizing that Majima's memory loss and pirate excursion could be linked to him dealing with grief and doing something wild to cope with the loss of his best friend.

Earlier today, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Like a Dragon developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios delighted almost all of its fans by announcing the next game in the series, one which will see fan-favorite character Goro Majim🤪a sail the high seas as a pirate. Sega later revealed that Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will take place one year after the events of Infinite Wealth, and tells the story of Majima trying to regain his memory after washing uꦛp on Rich Island.

That sounds like a fun premise for a Like A Dragon story, and while there will be plenty of ridiculous hijinks for Majima to involve himself in, a number of fans have realized something rather concerning about when the game takes place. If you're yet to play Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth and don't want spoilers, this is your chance to duck out.

We need bett𝄹er pirate games, and what better series than Yakuza to try its hand at th🌠e genre?

Part way through Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, it's dramatically revealed that longtime series prota🌠gonist Kazuma Kiryu was diagnosed with cancer. In a tender m🐽oment with Kasuga Ichiban in his temporary hotel room, Kiryu explains that the doctor gave him six mo☂nths to live following his diagnosis, and the game ends with him receiving treatment. It's not clear as whether Kiryu ends up recovering.

Like A Dragon Fans Are Worried About Kiryu In Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii

We know that Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii takes place a year after the events of Infinite Wealth, well past the amount of time that Kiryu's doctor said he had left on this mortal coil. If ꧅Kiryu received treatment too late at the end of Infinite Wealth, or it simply didn't work, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii would be the first game in the series set after the Dragon of Dojima's passing.

Given that we don't know how Majima ends up losing his memory and becomes washed up on Rich Island, the fan t൩heories have started flying. Majima is obviously extremely close to Kiryu, and one fan has already theorized that Majima's amnesia could have been brought about by grief over the death of his best friend. Others speculate that his meꦗmory is fine, and that this entire pirate gimmick is him coping while in denial.

T▨here are even those that reckon the ending could be even more emotional than that༒, with Majima regaining his memory to find that his best bud Kiryu has already passed away or is in the middle of dying, . Personally, I choose to believe that the ending will have Majima sailing past Kiryu and Haruka, who are soaking in the sun on a nearby island. I'm not coping, you're coping.
