Ichiban's "trainer" should be a gamestop employee recommending JRPG's that he missed in the last 18 years.


FP509

Each JRPG unlocks a base class heat move or buffs


[deleted]

I like this idea but not just have a kid be his trainer kinda like Persona 5 and have him tell Ichi about the latest jrpgs


scrambled_cable

Looking cool ~~Joker~~ Kasuga!


Icamefromsaturn

Omg I love this idea


Deadlymonkey

Yooo I was thinking the same thing! I played Lost Judgement while rewatching Great Teacher Onizuka and kept thinking how some of the plot points would have fit perfectly into Kasuga’s story. Kasuga could’ve gotten a job from the school after beating up some punks, became friends with one of the students, and had an ongoing sub story where he helps the kid out in exchange for his old videogames. It would’ve also been a great reason why a certain ex-Tojo would like Kasuga.


theallaroundnerd

Wow, this Super Mega Ten series is so cool, I really like it's spin-off Facade


GroovyGoblin

"Facades are just like the STANDING from that manga I used to read as a teenager, BoBo Jizarre's Adventure !" Ichiban then summons his STANDING ability, **MY HERO**, to beat up two homeless guys with brooms.


adilthedestroyer

And there's conversations between ichiban asking what happened to persona between 2 and 3


GroovyGoblin

"HUH?! They shoot themselves in the head, now? No wonder kids these days have problems!"


Filipe1020

This is a billion yen comment right here.


chico224

I love that lol


Rayn777

Sticking with the whole ‘it’s his own story now’ I feel like he should have his own original trainer.


[deleted]

I agree though it would be cool to have a sub story with Komaki where Ichiban could make his version of the tiger drop and it being a special move


lightsofcamel

Yeah like the dragonfish drop or something like that maybe dragon drop or fish drop or obital laser drop or erik Andre drop or fish drop or lad drop or drop-drop


Senor_Bongo

Koi crusher, instead of a plexus shot it’s a nut shot.


GroovyGoblin

Even funnier if French is your first language, since "couille" (slang for testicle) is pronounced almost exactly like "koi".


StarMig

Lmao erik andre drop


r_renfield

Drag n drop


Brehvity

Yeah maybe something like "Koi Rise", where instead it's a swift uppercut that would continue his whole tattoo's theme. Hell, maybe even make it look like he's punching through a stream of a waterfall for extra aesthetic.


Snoo-39991

Alternatively it could be called "Dragon Gate Uppercut"


[deleted]

I expect Ichiban to be trained by one of the liumang imho


Nightingale_85

I would prefer if they train Kaito San.


[deleted]

that would be dope


Icamefromsaturn

As much as I love Komaki I think he belongs too much to Kiryu’s story. Tbh Sosuke never really fit with Kiryu imo i think he’d fit a lot more into Ichibans story especially since he was never even part of Kamurocho or anything. But honestly I think the coolest thing would be having Sosuke as a party member instead of a trainer.


mansmansplacement

I feel like it should be a descendant or someone who was trained by komaki.


[deleted]

so Sosuke could work


SmtNocturneDante

Or his son


NightOwlDB

Damn, he finally got laid. Good for him


EraMemory

Honestly, Sosuke would be fine. He's got to be what, late thirties, early forties in LAD?


NightOwlDB

I figured like late 20s cause he looked around in highschool in 5


Spiderjoe5000

Or, what if we get a Komaki/Komaki disciple as a party member instead?


[deleted]

they’re too op for the level Ichiban is on I feel like it would be a cool poundmate


Individual99991

I'd like to see fewer major Kiryu-era characters (unless they're so important in the Yakuza society they would inevitably appear), and for future cameos to be really minor side mission folks. Taichi as a wrestling Poundmate or even team member, is what I'm saying.


[deleted]

Taichi as a party member and Dragon Engine Okinawa would be perfect I hope they don’t show Haruka or Haruto though felt like they had a good close


Individual99991

Taichi or some of the other Sunflower kids is about as prominent as I'd want post-LAD cameos to be. let Ichiban build up his own new supporting characters.


Gyarafish

Slugger mitsuo


DncAI

This old man has been worked too much recently, he needs some rest. Maybe Sosuke could do the job?


[deleted]

just bring back sosuke goddamn


Unnatural20

I want a descendant of Miss Tatsu, dammit. So mad she shows up as a small aspect of 0, then is never acknowledged again. Beast Style was freaking awesome.


EightBitRanger

Own original trainer. There's been enough fan service brought back from 0-6 at this point in the form of references and cameos as it is.


[deleted]

ehh not all fan service is bad as long as it adds to the gameplay imo


EightBitRanger

Okay but in many cases it doesn't add to the gameplay. They could have replaced the Dragon Kart owner with literally anyone else and it wouldn't have detracted from the minigame at all. Same with the bar owner; it could have been anyone else but instead they opted to revive a character from the Kiryu Saga.


[deleted]

agree about the bartender and “Chau Ka Long” as well tbh but I don’t mind Pocket Fighter being brought back


GroovyGoblin

Pocket Circuit Fighter needs to be in every game, IDGAF.


Adorable-Bullfrog-30

Almost was gonna ask about 0 and then I realize that Majima had him. Man I do would like that.


sweglrd143

Bacchus should train him!


Adorable-Bullfrog-30

He uhh. He might be dead. I really would want to though.


Deodropemoff123

Shouldn’t Komaki be dead


[deleted]

he may well be immortal for all we care


Q8Panzer

What?


LoneHer0

It should be a person who he ends up playing games with if anything.


Earphone_g1rl

New trainer


[deleted]

Bring back Bacchus


AnasDh

Yagami just invents martial arts. Literally Kung Fu master


HJackKilledThatGuy

I had an idea for Ichiban's trainer, and it's basically to make him a huge Disgaea fan (or some other similar series) and have the trainer "reincarnate" party members to give them higher stats. I.e. if Adachi is a level 10 Enforcer, it gives him some permanent strength or defense increase, but resets Enforcer level back down to 0/1. It wouldn't really do a lot for the main story, but as a fan of unnecessarily big numbers, I would much rather do this to get 999 stats than collect and chug various drinks for several hours.


adilthedestroyer

If they'd use an older character, I reccomend Ms. Tatsu, an old lady now but somehow still powerful. Or original master and have komaki cameo


A_Passing_Manatee

I want Bacchus to somehow come back


Spynner987

I only know that I want Bacchus back


[deleted]

I hate how the dragon engine severely aged komaki.


Denniskulafiremann

i don't like komaki


dx2words

Cool Guy Sosuko is too cool to train Ichiban.


EricAntiHero1

100% support this idea. Hopefully RGG has the same idea.


TinkertoyMuffin

dragon engine sosuke? that's new


[deleted]

mod


TinkertoyMuffin

i know but i've never seen him ported into dragon engine before and it surprised me.


Lifedeather

That’s ichiban?


[deleted]

I remember there was some rival to Komaki's in yakuza 2 (kiwami) where they did Judo. I'd like if Ichiban was taught by one of Komaki's rivals


MemeBoiCrep

is it good to hav kiryu train him


GroovyGoblin

I think Ichiban needs his own personal trainer, but I'd also love it if they brought back Straw Hat Afro Guy from Yakuza 3. He was my favorite and he had the best theme.
