Shinada's story begins with him struggling with debt collectors. You'll immediately be thrown into a fight, showcasing Shinada's unique combat style which heavily relies on picking up and using weapons from the environment. Look for objects like chairs, signs, or even bicycles to use as improvised weapons. His bare-handed combat is less refined than other protagonists, so weapon usage is key.
After dealing with the debt collectors, you'll be introduced to his 'Another Drama' at the local batting center. Your first task is to complete a batting challenge, which serves as a tutorial for the batting mini-game. Focus on timing your swing to hit the ball accurately. Successfully completing these challenges will improve Shinada's stats and unlock new abilities. You'll also be approached by a mysterious man who offers to help Shinada uncover the truth about his past, setting the stage for his main storyline. Expect more street fights as you navigate Kineicho's underworld.
