Line 169:
* [[Hide Your Children]]: Averted in the third game, not only with the Sunshine Orphanage kids, but other kids as well can be seen walking around Downtown Ryukubu.
* [[Hijacked by Ganon]]: '' 5'' has {{spoiler|Aizawa}} suddenly return as Kiryu's final boss. It comes with a [[Lampshade Hanging]] as his reply to Kiryu asking what he's doing here is "I'm not really sure myself."
* [[Hollywood Healing]]: Most main characters, and even mooks to an extent, regularly survive beatings that would kill most men ten times over. It's especially obvious when you use a triple katana slice or pistol on a lowly purse snatcher... and they live. Even moreso in ''Kenzan!'' and ''IsshinIshin!'', where the sword combos can be ''way'' longer...
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: SO MUCH.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Early on in ''Kiwami 1'', Majima shows up ahead of the schedule set by the original game to prove to Kiryu that the latter has become rusty after 10 years in prison. He does so with a boss fight that, while not technically unwinnable, is massively stacked against you and that you are supposed to lose.
Line 213:
** Averted in Dead Souls, it's impossible to kill a zombie with melee attacks, and Kiryu has a rough time when he {{spoiler|goes into the quarantine zone without any weapons.}}
* [[Nice Guy]]: Kazuma missed his calling in life as the Patron Saint of Niceness. He helps any innocent bystander no matter how big or small the problem, rescues young girls, pets, old women crossing the street, and forgives men who try to kill him on several occasions at the slightest hint of their redemption. This makes his status as the entire underworld's [[Butt Monkey]] so far as picking fights go all the more hilarious. In 3, he goes so far as to track down the most dangerous hitmen in Japan... JUST to beat the crap out of them and drag them to a reform center so they can get out of the criminal life.
* [[No Export for You]]: The four main games have all seen Western releases. The same cannot be said about, ''Kenzan!Judgment'' and ''Black Panther'', two spin-offoffs, titles. However,and [[Zombie Apocalypse]] spin-off ''Of The End/Dead Souls'' hashave beenall confirmedseen forWestern areleases. WesternThe releasesame atcannot least.be said about It's'Kenzan!, comingIshin!'' overand asthe ''Yakuza:Black Dead SoulsPanther'', averting this tropeduology.
* [[Noble Demon]]: Ryuji Goda. See [[Even Evil Has Standards]] above.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: ''Like a Dragon'' reveals that {{spoiler|Kashiwagi survived his apparent murder in ''3'' and opened a bar in Yokohama.}}
