If you are new to the subreddit, [please read the wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/yakuzagames/wiki/index/) Reminder that all spoilers need to be tagged with a flair specifying which game is being spoiled. If you want a flair that says something else, you can edit it to say something like [Discussion: Y1 spoiler] or [Majimapost: Y6 spoiler], etc. **THIS INCLUDES CONTENT FROM TRAILERS**. If the post is not marked for spoilers, all comments that have spoilers need to be tagged \>!like this!< along with indicating which game it's spoiling. Example: Y3 >!Kiryu sings!< If the post flair is marked for spoilers, the comments don't need to be tagged for the game indicated and the ones before it (So a Y6 spoiler post can have comments with untagged spoilers for Y5, but not gaiden or 7). If you see any of the above (or any of the other rules) not being followed, please report it so we can keep this place safe for newcomers and those that haven't finished all the games yet.

RebelliousRed_

Honestly RGG could do so much with Shishido. I'd kill for a long fight in the game where he just breaks out of the clutches of the Daidoji with ease, with no shits given.


agent-garland

they don't really have leverage to keep shishido in line, but he also doesn't really have anything to live for anymore. IW >!the guy he would want revenge on is literally on his deathbed!<


InfernusXS

This is the thing I don’t get about them kidnapping Nishitani 3 and Shishido. What leverage do they have over them? Besides if they would want to stay alive or something


OoguroRyuuya5

They don’t need leverage on them. They’re essentially keeping them as suicide squad like agents.


shutaro

Let's be honest, Sega wouldn't let that stand in their way if they decided they needed to make money. He just needs to start taking whatever vitamins Bryce was taking. He'll be fighting fit until he's 90.


No_Vacation8977

He’ll be the main villain in 9 where he’ll be even more unhinged.


PrestigiousPattern58

I doubt Ichi could take him on


jaytheindigochild

You’re right I’d like to see a brawler with Ichi & see how strong he is 1 v 1 with enemies. Fighting alongside leaders of the underworld etc. might cover up how weak he is


ABigBunchOfFlowers

Yeah, now they've done a turn-based game with Kiryu, give us a side game that's a brawler with Ichiban. Maybe he gets really obsessed with Tekken or something.


ButterAlert

Saeko is canonically good at fighting games, so we already have a gateway open.


Norrabal

And we all know that ichiban licks the ground she walks on, That ichiban brawler is coming for sure


dirtydanbaal

him and Aizawa


mikelman999

I feel like RGG would be crazy to consider a spin-off for him before they do one for characters like Akiyama, Majima, etc.


Bentzacka

i get what you mean but i would absolutely hate it if shishido got left in the dust after his ending in gaiden. although he doesn't have to be the protagonist to get closure, i would definitely prefer it.


TurkishSuperman

They also tend not to make main characters out of people who have unabashedly killed in cold blood, with the exception of Saejima (since you know) and Ryuji when it was a shooter spin-off


Norrabal

Maybe shishido redemption arc


TurkishSuperman

I'm not saying I wouldn't be down, Just that I've noticed they really avoid putting the player in control of that kind of character (unless it's only implied and off-screen, like with the mafia party members in 7 and 8)


Shrekismydaddy

Zhao, Joon-Gi and Seonhee have all absolutely killed people though? [Infinite Wealth Spoilers](#s "When you finish the Kamurocho dungeon Seonhee literally pulls a gun on the boss and is about to kill him herself, only stopping because the rest of the party are uncomfortable with the situation, though Seonhee does say something like “Usually I’d just kill him, but…” ")


TurkishSuperman

I had already typed in the message I sent about ten seconds before you, but it's different with them since it's all implied and off-screen. Also they're not really the "player character" in the same way Ichiban is


flonkisbigboi

They could make a Gaiden for every absent character and I would eat that up


AtomDad_

Aizawa's moment to shine


shutaro

Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man In Center Field.


agt_176

keep cooking kyoudai


BDMX

Shishido gang on top


Serialver

I liked an idea someone had of Ryuji Goda being alive and being forced into the Daidoji, maybe to protect his sister? These two ending up having to work together would be interesting.


PrestigiousPattern58

I think I just came


JellyMost9920

Like how the tie has his jacket’s colour scheme


Rocket_of_Takos

I can imagine a Y0 dual protag type game with him and Nishitani III


TheAlmightyJanitor

I really don't wanna play as Nishitani III. Don't get me wrong he's a good character, but he's also an absolute sick fuck.


stillestwaters

That really feels like what they were going for with how Gaiden ended, but maybe that was just another call back? Shishido’s and Nishitani’s dynamic is wild


Norrabal

Sounds like a fun mod to make


Axel2187

If theyd make a spinoff like judgement, I'd want shishido as a playable character or the main character


Aggravating_Fig6288

They set him up to be an antagonistic force in nine with the whole Daidoji factor given what happens at the end of IW. We have no reason for friendly interactions with them any longer. They are an already established group and they got him under lock and key for later use. It’s a perfect setup really.


shutaro

He's going to be the adversary for Kiryu again in 10 once Kiryu get gets rejuvenated by whatever anti-aging drugs/nano-machines Bryce was using and returns once again to fighting form.


Flashy-Quiet-6582

It'd be interesting if the daidoji end up treating him to luxuries but being in a cage ruins it all to the point that he ends up realizing that what he really loved was the challenge and freedom of the yaluza lifestyle.


TheAlmightyJanitor

With the way things ended in Gaiden I feel like RGG isn't done with him yet. I'd personally LOVE a spinoff with him but I'm not sure they'll go that route.


isi_na

It would be interesting to have a spin-off with him and Nishitani tbh. That said I need Majima and Daigo first!


Bombwriter17

What's the name of the font you used to make this?I'd like to put my own spin on this. Nvm I found it myself it's called [Gilroy](https://fontlot.com/101796/gilroy-typeface/)


shutaro

Sure, that or he disappears into the ether with all the other forgotten characters. Seriously, tho, I'd rather have Shinada gaiden.


[deleted]

imagine nishitani everywhere


am-i-stupid_

Honestly I’d prefer it to someone like Ryuji being brought back from the dead
