I thought “Ryu ga Gotoku 8” would be full of tsukkomi, but I was moved to tears by Kasuga’s passionate words and actions and Kiryu’s life. Why it’s a loss if you don’t fully experience all the sub-elements

I still think about it even after clearing the main story. There aren’t many games that offer so many temptations.

“Ryu ga Gotoku 8” boasts one of the largest volumes in the series, including a story unfolding with dual protagonists, numerous play spots and substories, and a vast new map “Honolulu City, Hawaii.”

　To be honest, when I first started playing, I was just like, “I’m interested in the main story, so I guess I’ll just pick up some of the sub-elements~”, but this time there were too many temptations outside of the main story. It was too much. It took me about 65 hours to clear the main story, and I think about 25 of those hours were spent taking detours.Just when you thought you were enjoying Kasuga Ichiban’s ridiculous tension, Kazuma Kiryu’s heartbreaking story brings tears to your eyes, and at the climax of the story, you’re excited by the exciting development. . This is a work that I think people who prioritize the story should definitely take their time playing through.

A town in Hawaii where Sujimon is rampant. Maybe I’ve come to the wrong place

Shortly after arriving in Hawaii, I met Sujimon, who was just an enemy character in “ Ryu ga Gotoku 7: Whereabouts of Light and Darkness ”.

　A dangerous person who spreads throughout the city, someone with that streak. Common name: Sujimon. He had heard from Dr. Sujimon in advance that “Hawaii is said to be a mecca for Sujimon,” but are they commonly found there?

　Furthermore, in this work, you can battle Sujimon with each other. Is there such a stupid competition? I shouted in my heart, but it seems that Hawaii is very crowded. It’s a world that’s not easy to navigate (only for Sujimon). I want to be careful when going to Hawaii in real life.

In order to restore Sujimon Battle to its original form, the main story is to confront the mastermind lurking behind the tournament, but Kasuga does his best to cooperate even with such a messed up situation.

　You can’t leave people in trouble alone. At first glance, it seems like a joke, but I think it’s an introduction that really reflects his straightforward and kind personality.

Sujimon is not a monster that appears in fantasy games, but a human being. What you need above all to make someone your friend is sincerity. Once we understand each other with fists, the next step is to express our feelings through year-end gifts. Humans can always understand each other. I thought it would be nice if it was a homage to world peace, and before I knew it, I was strolling around the city trying to catch all kinds of Sujimon.

　There are many Sujimon with shocking visuals, so before you know it, the starting lineup is full of suspicious people. I was taken aback at first, but when I was pushed through with such a powerful performance, I found myself laughing. This kind of nonsense is also one of the great things about the “ Ryu ga Gotoku ” series.

While enjoying collecting Sujimon, Kasuga heads to a small island called “Dondoko Island” due to a certain incident.

　On Dondoko Island, Kasuga and the island’s owners struggle to restore the island, which has become full of garbage due to the harassment of an unscrupulous garbage disposal company, but Kasuga was supposed to have come to Hawaii to look for his mother in the first place… . Is it okay to leave it this way? No, I’m sure it’s fine. Kasuga is a man who cannot abandon people who are in trouble. That’s why I fell in love with him.

If you’re interested in the main story, you can return to Hawaii as soon as you finish the tutorial on Dondoko Island (I returned normally when I played for the first time). However, as I progress through the main story, I can’t help but notice other elements. There are plenty of Sujimon battles, Dondoko Island, play spots, interactions with friends, and temptations.

　I became so curious that my Kasuga started going back and forth between Hawaii and Dondoko Island. He has too much to do this time.Kasuga is also a man who once experienced the “bottom”. He may be seen as clumsy or hot-tempered, but I love straight men. If he were Kasuga, he wouldn’t refuse, that’s the kind of guy he is. Even if he’s kind of a side character, I like how his charm is portrayed well.

Life on the island progresses peacefully with no particular complaints. What happened to Kasuga’s search for her mother? To her friends, Kasuga’s sudden disappearance may seem like she just came back one day.

　Although there are various points to be concerned about, time will not affect me even if I return to Hawaii. Maybe space-time is distorted. Let’s accept the distortion of space and time. Because Kasuga is the best.

ust when I thought it was going to be completely ridiculous, I burst into tears at an unexpected scene.

　While I was enjoying the gag-like development, I encountered an unexpected curveball midway through.

　It is a reunion with the yakuza “Gondahara boss” who has mastered baby play.

An unexpected appearance in a sub-story that I was casually progressing with. She couldn’t help but quipped, “Are you going to show up?”

　I won’t go into details, but from the middle of the story onwards, we are shown a powerful picture of an old man wearing a diaper . What kind of sin did I commit in my previous life? It’s a time that tests a lot of things, whether it’s humanity or patience.
