◆ Upgrading Abilities
Miyazato Dojo
At Miyazato Dojo, Kiryu can train under Miya-san, starting with the basics of the Ryukyu Style.
As he improves, he can take on promotion exams, with Miya-san promising to pass down the secret techniques of the Miyazato style should he succeed.
Train hard, overcome tests, and become a full-fledged master of Ryukyu kobujutsu!

Nobody on this island holds a candle to me when it comes to teaching kobujutsu.
The owner of Chura Bar, a folk song izakaya in Downtown Ryukyu.
As a skilled practitioner of Ryukyu kobujutsu, a traditional Okinawan martial art, Miya-san also serves as an instructor at Miyazato Dojo. Despite his aloof personality, his combat skills are the real deal, and Kiryu can learn a lot from him.
Even so, with hardly a single student visiting his dojo, Chura Bar has become his main source of income.
◆ Bad Boy Dragon
Assemble a Motley Crew of Delinquents and Rule the Streets!
Join the small-time Haisai Girls gang and protect Okinawa.
With the Tokyo Night Terrors wreaking havoc in the streets, Kiryu must step forth as the gang’s new leader, gather allies, and train the Haisai Girls into the leading girl gang in Japan.
Fight alongside 5 allies in Baddies Battles, gear up 20 of your gang members for massive Rumbles, and take on various other challenges.
Hop on your motorcycle and charge the enemy base in strategic skirmishes featuring unparalleled spectacles.
As you build your team, you can make them stronger by buying new weapons and upgrading their uniforms and bikes. Put together the ultimate squad and protect the peace of Okinawa!
Dawg Boi (portrayed by Dogma Kazami) Delinquent Stuck in the 80s
I’m the baddest of the bad, Dawg Boiii!
The leader of the Bullet Boyz, one of the Big Three gangs in Okinawa. He adores 80s bad boy culture, refusing to give up the lifestyle even though he’s in his forties.
Believing that strength determines status, he’s quick to throw punches without sweating the details. Kiryu’s Haisai Girls approach him about joining forces, but it might take some convincing…
Tsubasa (portrayed by Anna Yamaki) Boss of the Haisai Girls
They can come after us if they want. We’ll send ’em packin’.
The Haisai Girls aren’t runnin’ or hidin’ from anyone.
The young boss of the Haisai Girls. While she’s a true biker at heart, she always follows the speed limit. Feisty and a bit reckless, she commands the respect of her subordinates and is devoted to protecting Okinawa from delinquents.
After a chance turn of events, she decides to recruit Kiryu to the Haisai Girls.
Rumbles
—Turf War
—Total Annihilation
In Rumbles, fight alongside up to 20 allies in a massive brawl against over 100 foes. Rumbles unfold either as a Total Annihilation, an all-out slugfest between both gangs, or as a Turf War, where each squadron takes different routes to attack the enemy’s bases.
Recruiting Allies
You can find new members for the Haisai Girls by scouting them around town, clearing substories, and playing minigames.
Familiar faces from past games, including Gondawara, the man-baby patriarch, can be recruited.
Each ally possesses special abilities, allowing you to build teams and gain the upper hand in battle.
In Bad Boy Dragon, ride into battle with up to four squads, with the main squadron protecting Tsubasa, the Haisai Girls’ boss. Each squad consists of a leader and four members, and they’ll retreat as soon as their leader is defeated.
Factor in each member’s unique traits as you put together your ultimate team!
Baddies Battle
In Baddies Battles, the Tokyo Night Terrors are causing mayhem throughout Downtown Ryukyu, and you’ll need to fight with the Haisai Girls, rescue the townsfolk and restore peace to the streets!
Women you save from the Tokyo Night Terrors may even choose to join your cause. If you’re looking to grow your ranks, be sure to take on plenty of Baddies Battles.
Baddies Shop
At the Baddies Shop, you can purchase items that’ll give you the edge in combat.
Upgrading your bikes and uniforms will give your gang a fresh new look and unlock a host of skills.
You can also spend your funds on a variety of Baddie Weapons, from rocket launchers to supercars that can plough through enemy lines.
Customization
Each of your four squads can be customized to your liking, from their gang uniforms to their bikes. In addition to choosing uniform colors and patterns, you can have a motto stitched to the back of each squad’s uniforms.
◆ Substories
Experience Wild Substories Starring the Colorful Characters Around Town!
Outside of the main story, you can interact with people around town and engage in mini-adventures.
Lending a helping hand to folks in need will also help you grow stronger.
From becoming the life of the party as a host in Kamurocho to delivering Okinawa soba around Downtown Ryukyu, a plethora of events await. You might even cross paths with a legendary singer!
Leave It to Akko!
Superstar Akko-san and her co-star Demata have come to Okinawa for an on-location shoot for her TV show “Akko-san Please! Leisure Travel.”
Hoping to learn more about delicacies and famous sights, she visits Downtown Ryukyu to speak to locals about their recommendations. There, she spots Kiryu—who seems free for a chat.
Akko-san (portrayed by Akiko Wada) One of the Biggest Names in Japanese Show Biz!
Listen to me, I know what I’m talkin’ about! We can get some good footage with him.
A superstar who everyone and their mother knows. While doing an on-location shoot in Downtown Ryukyu, she runs into Kiryu and takes a liking to him.
She then begins to invite him out for drinks and on other excursions. Oddly enough, she’s also an incredibly skilled fighter. Perhaps she harbors a mysterious past.

◆ Underground Fight Club
Survive a Brutal Game Using Brains and Brawn!
Hell’s Arena is an underground fight club in Kamurocho where VIP investors place extravagant bets on brutal competitions.
Each day, Hell’s Arena hosts Hellish Brawls that push participants to the brink and Survival Hells, dangerous races where competitors are relentlessly chased by hunters.
As the organizers of Hell’s Arena pose a major threat to the Nishikiyama Family’s business operations, Mine has decided to bring them down by entering the arena himself.
In order to succeed, he’ll need to come out on top in a series of death-defying battles against formidable foes.
Hellish Brawl
Hellish Brawls are traditional one-on-one fights held in the arena.
To claim victory, you must knock out your opponent within the time limit.
Some matches will pit you against multiple opponents in a row, so managing your health and time is vital to your success. Do your best to overcome the odds and take home a boatload of cash!
Survival Hell
In Survival Hell, you’ll need to race through a dungeon, survive the relentless pursuit of hunters, and defeat a powerful boss to reach the goal.
Various treasures are hidden throughout the dungeon, and escaping with them will provide Mine with helpful upgrades. These treasures include Gospels, which boost his abilities; Survival Weapons, which can be used as offensive skills; and Mercenaries—allies you can hire to fight alongside you.
If you use your items and push forward, you might just achieve the impossible feat of conquering Survival Hell!
Mercenaries
Survival Weapons
Gospels
Boss Battles
At the end of every Survival Hell dungeon lies a master keeper.
These seven hunters are the strongest warriors in Hell’s Arena, each sporting the mask of a different animal and possessing deadly techniques inspired by their beastly counterparts. For instance, the bearer of the monkey mask summons doppelgangers to send contestants to their graves.
Unleash everything at your disposal to best these behemoths!
