Kuze gets to be the end of his own section here. He's earned it. Throughout the course of my playthrough, Kuze has become the one villain of sorts that I actually grew to respect and care about at the end of everything. He's going through a whole story of his own on the other side of Kiryu's journey, and when it's all said and done, he becomes better man than he was starting out. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the better parts of the man he was began to surface as he was pushed further from the prize he'd worked for. Aside from one heat boosting drink, I chose to fight him without healing or using my arsenal of broken weaponry, relying on my fists, feet, and a few environmental weapons. He's the only one in the final chapter who truly deserved a fair fight.

Yakuza 0 is the 11th game in the "Like A Dragon" series, and the 6th mainline release. A prequel RPG set in 1988, the open-world game puts players in the shoes of two of the franchise's most famous figures: Kazama Kiryu and Goro Majima. Published by Sega in 2015, Yakuza 0 is credited for bringing the series out of obscurity in the US and Europe, pushing "Like a Dragon" into a new era of international popularity.
