[Playthrough]Yakuza 2

Chapter 1



Episode 01: It Begins Again

Welcome, welcome. After completing Yakuza, I felt it would only be right to do its sequels, so, first up, Yakuza 2.

In this episode, we start off in the early 1980's, following a cop as we witness Kazama (Fuma in the American release) kill a Korean man. After that little bit of back story we cut to several different places throughout Kamurocho before we finally get to see Kazuma Kiryu as he now lives together with Haruka.



Episode 02: Recalling The Past

In this episode, Kazuma and Haruka visit the graves of Nishiki, Yumi, and Kazama/Fuma as Kazuma begins to recall the events of the previous year. This is optional to do, but I prefer to choose the reminisce options.



Episode 03: Trouble On The Rise

In this episode, after reminiscing about the past, Terada, the Chairman of the Tojo Clan comes to the graveyard to talk to Kazuma about something important, however, its cut short as a group of assassins appear.



Episode 04: Meeting With The Tojo Clan

In this episode, Kazuma meets with the remaining heads of the Tojo clan and the interim Chairman, Yayaoi Dojima, to decide what to do about Terada's plan. After deciding, Kazuma heads off to find Daigo Dojima.



Episode 05: Convincing Daigo

In this episode, Kazuma continues his search for Daigo and once he finds him, tries to convince him to come back to the Tojo Clan, as they need him.

Chapter 2



Episode 06: Arrival In Kansai

In this episode, Kazuma and Daigo arrive in Kansai. After arriving, Daigo heads off to the hotel to leave Kazuma to explore the town, or what's open to us at the moment. Along the way, he befriends a takoyaki salesman who will help him in fights that happen near his location, helps a young man at the arcade and beats down a corrupt watch salesman. Such is the life of Kazuma.

To befriend the Magutako Employee, you have to order/buy 7 takoyaki, any size will do. However, as far as I know, you can't group buy the 7, you have to buy them individually. I guess it counts as a "visit" each time.

Please note that I am listing them completed in the order I do so in the video, not the order they appear in the mission list. Also, some side missions can only be done after another one has been completed. Kazuma also has a comment for each one, so I'll add those in as well.

Side Missions Completed

The Magutako Employee - I got to know an employee at Magutako.

The Watch Dealer - He looks like he's sorry. I'll let him go this time.

A Present For A Girl 1 - I gave the guy a Robot Manager stuffed toy.



Episode 07: The Claw

Lame episode name. I couldn't think of anything so referenced a movie, or rather a line from a movie.

In this episode, Kazuma continues his exploration of Kansai and gets into all sorts of adventures in the process. Capturing a dine and dasher, helping the guy at the arcade once again and foiling a couple of con artists.

Side Missions Completed

Dine-and-Dash - I taught the dine-and-dash guy a lesson, and everything's settled.

A Present For A Girl 2 - I gave the guy a Robot Chief stuffed toy.

Pregnancy - They were trying to con me, but they were too clumsy.

A Present For A Girl 3 - I gave the guy his Swiss Watch back.



Episode 08: Fight Club

Lame pun for the episode title, I know.

In this episode, Kazuma heads off to find a place to unwind, ultimately heading to the Cabaret Club known as Grand, however, it seems to be full so he heads elsewhere. After speaking to Kurokawa, he gets Kazuma a VIP seat at the club. There he has a run in with some Yakuza from the Go-Ryu Clan.



Episode 09: Fireworks

In this episode, after beating the men, Ryuji apologizes for their behavior and offers Kazuma to drink with him. During their set down, a bit of tension builds and Ryuji tells Kazuma of a certain plan of his and to enjoy the fireworks at midnight.

Chapter 3



Episode 10: New Faces

In this episode, Kazuma and Daigo head off to the Omi Alliance Headquarters to have the meeting with their chairman. We also see a couple of new characters, one a female cop, by the name of Kaoru and her chief, Bessho. Sudo placed a call to Bessho, making a request involving Kazuma.

Just a small note, I'll try and show as many Coin Locker Key locations that I can on camera, however, the Coin Locker Key's aren't as hard to come by as they were in the first game so I may wind up collecting them off camera when grinding.

I'm not sure but I think I picked up all the items in the Omi Alliance HQ as well. If not, I picked up the important ones. Well, important ones to me at least. It pays to search every nook and cranny. Hah.

Side Missions Completed

A Present For a Girl, Epilogue - "I got a 'Gold Robot President' stuffed toy.



Episode 11: Meeting Of The Clans

In this episode, Kazuma and Daigo hold their meeting with the Omi Alliance Chairman. However, just as the peace talks were reaching a conclusion, Ryuji decides its time to put a stop to it, as a peace treaty would ruin his ultimate plans.



Episode 12: Breaking & Exiting

In this episode, Kazuma continues to fight his way through the Go-Ryu clan in an attempt to save Jin Goda from his captors, even breaking something on his way out of the building. However, as he reaches him, Ryuji steps out of the building to go one-on-one with Kazuma.

Small note: I hate those "human walls" that take up small corridors and block your path and try to keep you from moving forward with furniture. They can get anally violated with a cactus.
