Like a Dragon Gaiden's trailer has Kiryu seriously acting out

gamesradar.com:

Yakuza fans can't believe how Kiryu's acting in the new Like a Dragon Gaiden trailer.

Yesterday on June 8 saw a brand new trailer for Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (yes, that is its name). The titular Man Who Erased His Name is Kazuma Kiryu, and despite the fact that he's meant to be laying low after faking his death in Yakuza 6, he's back in action once again.

This has lead to, understandably, Yakuza fans being very surprised at Kiryu's mayhem in the new Like a Dragon Gaiden trailer. For one, the shades seriously aren't doing Kiryu many favors, although we suppose it's a better disguise than the time he just wore a trench coat and changed his name slightly in Yakuza 5.

Considering there's a whole subplot in Yakuza Kiwami 2 about someone who looks like Kiryu doing an impression of him to scare others out of money, it's safe to say he's widely known. He should probably chill with strolling through his old haunts like he won't be immediately recognized.

Oh, and Kiryu's still up to his old tricks of beating up 20-odd men in one go, whether he's in hiding or not. This is surely going to draw him a hell of a lot of attention, whether he's got those slick shades on or not. Then again, subtlety has never really been Kiryu's strong suit.

If Yakuza fans are perplexed at something ridiculous, you know it's really ridiculous. We just really hope he doesn't have to go around
