Chapter 9 - The Omi Invasion

Guide your way through Chapter 9 of Yakuza Kiwami 2, 'The Omi Invasion.' Learn how to handle the funeral crashers and defeat Shindo.

Alright, so after all that excitement, you'll find yourself back at Serena with Daigo and Sayama. Daigo's gonna fill you in on who originally nabbed him, and then Kashiwagi pops in to drop some Tojo Clan history on you. After that little chat, Kashiwagi mentions Terada's funeral is coming up soon. He'll head out, and if you're ready to move the story along, you can talk to Sayama and tell her you're ready to call it a night. Honestly, there's nothing new popping up in the city right now, so you might as well just push forward.

The next morning, you've still got some free time, but since there's nothing really new to do, just hop in a cab and head over to the Tojo HQ. Kiryu will automatically change into his formal wear – gotta look sharp for this one, since Kiryu's actually invited this time! Head inside and make your way to the main hall. You'll see a pretty fancy memorial setup for Terada. Yayoi and Daigo will be chatting about the Jingweon and Go-Ryu working together when suddenly, someone in the front yells about an intruder! Kiryu bolts outside, and you'll see Shindo smirking in the background. Turns out, some Go-Ryu members have decided to crash the funeral.

Your first task is to beat down the five guys who are ready to throw down. The one with the katana can be a bit tricky to pin down, so don't hesitate to use the other goons as human shields or to throw them into him. Once that scuffle is over, Kiryu heads back into town.

You'll end up back at Park Boulevard, where Sayama will meet up with you. Your next destination is the front of Millennium Tower. After a scene with Majima, it looks like you're heading back to HQ again. Quick heads-up: you won't be able to access Majima Construction until you get past this next story beat.

Once you arrive at HQ, rush inside. You'll start the next fight pretty quickly. You can't get to the meeting room from the front stairs, so you'll need to loop around counter-clockwise to the back stairs and then head up to the meeting room. Inside, you'll find Daigo and Kashiwagi being held captive, with Yayoi in Shindo's lap – yikes. Things get pretty intense, like something out of The Godfather, as several Tojo officers are gunned down across the city. Then, Shindo gets particularly nasty, and you'll have to fight him. His sword attacks are a little unpredictable, but they usually leave him open for a counter-attack. As you chip away at his health, he'll try to retreat. Keep the pressure on him as he backs away, and follow him all the way to the garden. Once you're in the garden, Shindo will activate Heat mode and become tougher, but he shouldn't give you too much trouble, especially after the little scrap you just had. The final sequence is pretty cool if you can nail the button prompts. After you finally take him down, head back to the meeting room, and Shindo will make one last appearance for a final confrontation. Finish him off, and you'll clear this chapter.
