Line 262:
** Majima has a [[Shotguns Are Just Better|pump-action shotgun.]]
** Ryuji's main firearm is actually one of his arms, [[Gatling Good|which transforms into a gatling gun.]]
** [[What an Idiot!]]:
** Almost [[Once an Episode]], Kiryu or another playable character will leave a defeated enemy lying on the ground but not dead or even unconscious to go talk to someone.<br />'''You'd Expect:''' They would thoroughly frisk the defeated enemy for weapons and confiscate any that are lying around. As experienced criminals, they should know that they're dealing with spiteful scumbags who will do anything to ruin the lives of their enemies.<br />'''Instead:''' They don't bother doing so. The enemy manages to recover, get his or her hands on a weapon, and fatally wound someone before finally getting put down or at least knocked out properly.<br />'''Even Worse:''' The fact that this happens across multiple games shows that Kiryu and co. are incapable of learning, despite the fact that even one friend lost to this idiocy should have been one too many.
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Averted HARD with {{spoiler|Hamazaki}} in the third game.
** Yet played straight in the same game with {{spoiler|Rikiya's childhood's friend}}. The side mission where he finds her working in a pole dancing club is treated like a main mission, with cutscene and all. {{spoiler|Rikiya promises to take her out of this life style for good}}, but he ends up {{spoiler|dead in the end}}, but the {{spoiler|girl}} is never brought up in the main storyline, and how {{spoiler|she feels about her White Knight being dead}} is left unknown.
Line 269 ⟶ 271:
** The lack of female opponents is somewhat averted in 4. While helping her out with her investigation, Tanimura takes up a female Korean cop who's in Japan chasing a Korean criminal as a sparring partner. She's the only female opponent in the game, though, and neither one of them have any intention on holding back on each other.
** Finally averted in Dead Souls, which has female zombies, including special mutants that are exclusively female.
** This becomes [[Gameplay and Story Integration]] in ''7/Like a Dragon''. {{spoiler|When you fight Kiryu as a boss, he will never deliberately target female party members.}}
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Pretty much everyone in all the games, actually, but special mention goes to {{spoiler|Yoshitaka Mine in the third game, who gives the [[Big Bad]] a Dragon Suplex ''off a thirty story building''.}}
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: ''Of The End/Dead Souls''. Yes, a Yakuza game [[Out-of-Genre Experience|features zombies]]. Somewhat subverted in that the outbreak is contained to Kamurocho and is thus not a truly global [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
