#the continuous retconning of characters to be alive is equal parts annoying and funny

I can not believe that Yakuza 3 ended with Mine realizing the error in how he'd lived, being told that he could get another chance to do better, and heroically sacrificing himself to take out Andre Richardson saying "maybe in a next life" and then Andre Richardson is the one who turns out be alive in Infinite Wealth. like lmao?

#the continuous retconning of characters to be alive is equal parts annoying and funny #and also characters sacrificing themselves and dying right after they're given redemption :| also annoying #my thought with Nishiki and Mine was that they already had been shot #so the narrative would not have let them survive anyway. so they made the most of their deaths #but yeah. retconned character deaths is egregious in like a dragon #and they've kinda been hinting Ryuji's alive #which i could be fine with. he's somehow alive in alternate reality Dead Souls. he could be alive in main canon #but they should keep his gun hand #and maybe Mine being alive would be nice because there was literally so much emphasis on a new life for him? #if Andre Richardson survived then Mine should too lol. if we're making Mine's sacrifice pointless let's just go all the way #they should actually bring back all the fridged women. they did not deserve that #Yumi Reina and Yasuko are just chilling somewhere #but other than that no bringing people back. I love Nishiki sm but I do not want to see his ass #for some reason i really do not want them to bring back Nishiki compared to like Mine and Ryuji #but I guess like Nishiki's death was so influential on Kiryu. having him actually be alive the whole time would be infuriating #same if they like. brought Rikiya back. or the Arakawas back for Ichiban #my txtstuff #yakuza spoilers #yakuza 3 spoilers
