Okay so in Yakuza 1, Kiryu becomes the chairman of the Tojo Clan but immediately quits. In Yakuza 5, Haruka wins the princess league and becomes a famous idol only to immediately quit. Like father like daughter!

Wanted to share my take on what post-explosion Nishiki would be like. Putting some thoughts under the cut.

Despite everything, there’s not enough evidence linking him directly to any of his crimes. A lot of it gets pinned onto his men who did most of the dirty work and/or clean-up. So much to his dismay, his prison sentence is relatively short. After his release, he doesn’t actually disband his family, but instead basically abandons them, leaving them to run themselves.

I think Nishiki would be deeply self conscious about his scarring and do his best to obscure it so he looks as close to ‘normal’ as possible. He grows his hair back out after leaving prison, and uses it to keep that side of his face covered, and maybe go as far as using makeup to bring his skin closer to its normal colour. With his clothes, he’d opt for items he can ‘hide’ in, with layers and scarves and anything with a high neckline. His usual black and white would be too flashy for him to be comfortable wearing, and so he’d introduce some colour back into his wardrobe - rusty dark reds, browns and oranges somewhat reminiscent of that maroon suit from 0, but far less showy.

His self-consciousness would also extend to his behaviour. At first, he can barely bring himself to leave the house, or to look at himself in the mirror. When he does go outside, he’s be hyperaware of how he’s positioning himself so that people don’t see his ‘bad’ side.

Perhaps he eventually reconnects with Kiryu and that’s what finally gets him out of his shell.. Or not. I'm not sure he would accept any attempt Kiryu made to re-establish a close friendship, but would be happy to offer him cynical pieces of advice whenever he runs into trouble. Somehow it seems more fitting to have him exist as a cautionary tale for the remainder of the Kiryu saga - he survives, but nothing he can do will erase any of the damage he caused, and he has to live with that.

I dunno. But man, he could have been such an interesting character to keep around.

Do you have any idea the detrimental drama that would happen between these four parties would be after Kiryu goes to jail? Besides what we saw in canon

Shimano knows everything about Majima which is the worst fate for someone like him and there’s no way he wouldn’t have known his favorite is wildly obsessed with Kazama’s favorite. This could so easily be abused. I can just imagine the snide remarks about it coming up in the most timely situations. Like noticing how Majima is looking really down, bored, and fed up

Majima and Nishiki knew each other even if briefly in ‘88. What’s Majima thinking about what really went down while everyone is assuming Nishiki is useless? He would definitely see the shift in him. Would he ever confront him outside of any necessary job interactions before or after the switch? Or does he just watch from afar?

Kazama continues to not do anything for Nishiki while Kashiwagi does it all. Everything continues on as normal

The rest of the Tojo Clan: Aw shit this kinda sucks :/

These four bricks for the next ten years literally any time Kiryu comes up:
