Fushimi Gaku Plays Kiryu’s Falling-Out With Nishiki in Yakuza Kiwami Part 4

The stream, which ran more than four and a half hours, ended with Fushimi saying a handful of new skills had made the fights feel very different.

Nijisanji streamer Fushimi Gaku played the fourth part of Yakuza Kiwami (龍が如く 極) on Monday, reaching the story’s meeting between the protagonist, Kiryu, and his old friend Nishiki. Over drinks at the club Serena, their first in ten years, Nishiki said he had not meant for Haruka’s mother, Mizuki, to be killed and that a subordinate had done it without his order. He then demanded Haruka and the pendant tied to the missing 100 billion yen. Kiryu refused, the two agreed they were no longer brothers, and an ambush followed, which Fushimi fought through.

The run of side events before it was long. The stream opened with a bar scene in which Kiryu was presented with a 5.6 million yen bill for two drinks, then moved on to a card game for children called Mesuking, a fake religious group selling a pendant, and a dice game in which Haruka picked the winning side again and again. A back-street clinic, where the doctor said a powerful patron covered his costs, brought a fight with a pair of brothers.

Later, after an explosion at the place where Haruka had been staying, gangs carried her off. Fushimi spent the last stretch fighting gang members across the districts to find her. Throughout, the streamer spent experience from repeated fights with Majima on new skills, and said the character felt noticeably stronger by the end.

Fushimi closed by saying that the death of Haruka’s mother had been hard to take. Fushimi had half expected it to turn out to be a mistake and wished Kiryu had been able to speak with her at the end. In chat, viewers wrote that Nishiki had changed, and the mention of Kazama as the clinic doctor’s patron drew a wave of cheers.

Fushimi announced that the next part of the playthrough would start at 10 p.m., with the search for the white gang next on the list.
