Kuze '99 Event "The Man Who Keeps Trying" Yakuza Online - English Translation

I should probably have looked before I put this one up on the poll, since 1. it’s very short, and 2. it’s linked to a later chapter of Ryuji’s story. To make up for it, I’ll be translating Kuze’s 1988 story too, before the runner-up, Kazama’s 1993 story.

There’s a pretty serious typo I think, the beginning says that he went to prison in _1998_ and not 1988. Maybe it’s a part of the story of online, but I highly doubt Kuze got parole a year into a decade sentence, so that’s pretty important.

Ah crap, you're right. Thank you.

Finally Yakuze

Im confused, in this story Nihara is still the acting chairman in 1999, but Sera would've already taken over as chairman at that time, no?

[@Hisanas]

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on there. I'd put it down to the fact that this event is linked to Ryuji's story which is considered to be its own separate canon.

[@ignaciojohnjoy]

There were moments where acting Chairmen were needed when the Chairman wasn't around.
Given an example when Daigo was out of commission in Yakuza 4

[@Hisanas]

@@ignaciojohnjoy Good point. Your explanation makes more sense

[@k3nny]

Thank you so much for making these

[@matthewmartinez9628]

Bro. You should change it to the 80’s! That’s where most of Kiryus fights were taking place!!!!!!
