Taiga Saejima, the legendary hitman, is our second protagonist. His story begins in a maximum-security prison, where he's serving a life sentence for a crime he may not have fully committed. Saejima's fighting style is raw and powerful, focusing on slow but devastating punches and throws. He can pick up and wield heavy objects with ease, making him a formidable force.

Saejima's combat is about brute force. Charge his heavy attacks (Triangle) for maximum damage, and don't be afraid to grab enemies and use them as weapons against others. His 'Essence of Crushing' Heat Action is incredibly satisfying and effective. Due to his slower movement, mastering his guard and counter-attacks is crucial. Upgrade his strength and health early to maximize his tank-like potential.
