Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth - 53 - Life Links and The Dragon's Resurgence
1After a good rest, a new day begins and Date immediately calls Kiryu to meet up at the nearby cabaret club Rose Blossom, and for good reason as none other than Taichi is present there!
Things escalate, but Kiryu's example still lives strong and Taichi steps up when he has to, and Kiryu takes over soon after leading to a fight against five level 30 Drunken Nuisances, nothing too tough.
Afterwards, Date takes Kiryu to a bar and expresses his desire to help the Dragon make his peace with everything, introducing Life Links, unlocked by raising Kiryu's Awakening level and progressing the story.
As he leaves the bar, Kiryu receives a mysterious message summoning him to Restaurant Row, and after a detour to Plage to have a nice chat with Saeko, we head there to meet the man behind the message, another figure of Kiryu's past, Jo Amon...
Naturally, a fight will ensue, and you most likely don't stand much of a chance against the level 54 Ultimate Assassin! But if you survive long enough to have a Host act, you can steal some good money from him before he defeats you.
But this defeat is not the end, as Amon's threat to Kiryu's friends leads the Dragon to resurge once more, unlocking a new ability to break the turn-based system! Use it and unleash all you have on your opponent to defeat him, which will greatly amuse Amon, leading him to leave with the promise of a rematch once Kiryu grows strong enough.
Note that in the base game, Jo Amon reuses Shin Amon's model for some weird reason, thus I am using a mod to give him his original face from 6 and Kiwami 2 back.
