Follow the blood trail and confront Kazuto Arase in Yakuza Kiwami's Chapter 10: Shape of Love. Includes walkthrough, tips, and strategy for this intense chapter.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After recovering Haruka, you'll automatically return to Serena. Reina is gone, and the bar is in disarray. Check the letter on the counter.
  2. 2
    As you leave Serena, you'll notice a blood trail. Follow it past Millennium Tower towards the Champion District.
  3. 3
    In the Champion District, you'll find some thugs near the west entrance who mention Shinji went to the Hotel District.
  4. 4
    Head back to the Hotel District. You'll receive a phone call near the intersection west of Jewel. Shinji is in a building just north of your location, which will be marked on the map.
  5. 5
    Enter the building and proceed to the far side of the first floor, then go up the stairs.
  6. 6
    On the second floor, you'll encounter enemies. Fight your way through the building, clearing out all enemies. Explore side rooms for potential items.
  7. 7
    On the third floor, a man with a large chair will block your path. You can perform the "Essence of Self-Destruct" Heat Action on him.
  8. 8
    Continue through the floors, dealing with enemies, many of whom will have guns. Prioritize taking out enemies with firearms.
  9. 9
    Reach the roof and press the confirm button at the far end to jump across.
  10. 10
    Navigate across several more rooftops, fighting more gun-wielding enemies.
  11. 11
    At the end of the rooftops, you will face Kazuto Arase.

Boss Fight: Kazuto Arase

  • Stats / Weaknesses: Arase has a small health bar (two segments). He is fast and dodges slow attacks. Rush Style is recommended.
  • Phases:
    1. Arase will quickly move around the battlefield, firing his guns. Use Rush Style to close the distance and attack.
    2. Be prepared to dodge when Arase begins to flip; he will follow up with a side-dive attack.
    3. When Arase is cornered, he has fewer options. Try to trap him.
    4. As his health gets low, Arase will use a multi-shot "super" attack with armor. Dodge this attack.
  • Strategy: Use Rush Style to quickly attack Arase. Focus on dodging his rapid attacks and his special dive. Try to corner him. When he uses his armored multi-shot attack, evasion is key.
Tips
  • There are three Substories available in this chapter, allowing you to reach a maximum of 74 Substories.
  • Majima Everywhere encounters can also be pursued during this chapter. You can complete these any time up to the end of the game.
  • Collect any items you find within the building as you progress; you may need them for the boss fight.
  • If you struggle with Arase, utilize the guns found scattered throughout the building floors.
