It started the challenge on 17th March, and completed it a little over a week later, clocking a total of 170 hours.

Still, that’s a lot of Kamurocho – and a lot of battles to reach the roof of Millennium Tower.
With the livestream running for so long, there were a few memorable moments: Takaya Kuroda, the voice of Kazuma Kiryu, rocked up at one point – as did Goro Majima star, Hidenari Ugaki. Next week, it’ll be back to business for the Ryu ga Gotoku team – after all, Like a Dragon 8’s not going to make itself, is it?
