I needed a cigarette after the entrance in the Finale. That's how you make an entrance.
Having split protagonists was a nice change of pace, and the way the story weaved its way through them was great, one of my favorite Yakuza stories yet. Knowing the backstory from Zero and managing to avoid spoilers, it was an actual shock when Saejima showed up. Only downside of the fantastic ending is the last boss fight being Tanimura, especially after the hype Kiryu vs. Daigo fight right before it. Also Kido getting hyped up as a badass fighter all game but went down with ease. Balls out next time, kid.
Tanimura > Kiryu > Saejima > Akiyama. I just loved cuffing dudes, what can I say.
