168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Kart makes a return in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. It was last featured in 2020’s Ya😼kuza: Like a Dragon, where it was run by the Pocket Circuit Fighter, Fujisawa, who was first introduced in Yakuza 0.

In Pirate Yakuza, Ran has now taken over the duties for Hawaii’s version of Dragon Kart. She was first introduced in 2023’s Like a Dragon Gaiden, where she worked at a Pock🍃et Circuit cafe in Sotenbori. This little bit of off-screen storytelling is a nice touch and creates some more parallels between Pocket Circuit Racing and Dragon Kart.

8 🔯 🧸 Golden Balls

Shenron's Wishes

Another similarity that Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has with Like a Dra♏gon Gaiden is the task to collect seven golden balls. One of your early recruits, Mr. Beef, tasks you to collect them all as part of a substory.

This, of course, is a reference to Dragon Ball Z's dragon balls. If it wasn’t obvious enough, Mr. Beef also mentions someone by the name of Mr. Shen, this being a reference to Shenron from Dragon Ball. Afte🐼r you acquire all seven golden balls, you can meet Shen, who grants you one wish from a choice of many dialogue opti🍎ons.

Slick Leather Jacket

Speaking of Judgment, 𒁏while Yagami is still nowhere to be seen, we do have his jacket as a wearable accessory for Majima. No super skinny jeans, though.

There’s also an outfit and makeup titled Scourge of the Nig🔯ht that can be acquired by the Sicko Snap minigame vendor. This is, of course, an ou🤪tfit that was worn by Yagami in Lost Judgment as part of a side case.

5 ✃ 🦩 The Ganzhe

The Chinese Mafia Remnants

In the area south of the Nirvana Coast Hotel, any enemy combatants you come ac🌜ross will be affiliated with the Ganzhe and have Chinese names. The Ganzhe were the Chinese Mafia featured in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and thei💞r henchmen could be found in that same area.

While the Ganzhe aren’t mentioned in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza i♒n✱ Hawaii at all, and their fate is unknown after the assassination of their previous leader, this is still a nice little detail that shows that their remnants are still around.

Pirate Actor In Hawaii

You can find an NPC named Nickelle just north of Aloha Beach, and are able to recruit her after hearing her out as long as you are at Pirate Rank 2 or above. While tౠalking to her, she mentions that she’s actually a pretty big actor.

She talks about being cast for a role as a Pirate but doesn’t know how to prepare for it. Majima c🦋an ๊then offer to recruit her for his ship. This is obviously a not-so-subtle reference to the actor Nicole Kidman.

When you do pick up and use the minigun, though, the English dub of the game has 💃Majima randomly exclaim, “Say hello to my little friend”, a reference to Al Pacino’s character from Scarface.

During the fourth chapter of the main story of Like a Dragon: Pirate Ya𓄧kuza in Hawaii, J✅ason takes you to Hawaii to meet his wife, Jane Rich, and his daughter Naomi. Jane runs a jewelry store in Downtown Hawaii.

Although Jane doesn’t appear again in the story, being a very minor character, you can actually visit the store and find her at the counter. However, you can’t buy anything from this store, but it’s interesting to see her there and 🍌not have the store closed off.
