The Drunken Alien
~ Synopsis.
Ernest Satow has been collecting "memoirs" about the country's history and people in order to learn about Japan.
However, there are many people in Kyoto at the end of the Edo period who are hostile to foreigners, and he gets into trouble wherever he goes. ...... Will Ryoma be able to successfully complete Satou's collection of memoirs?

Bacchus, who appeared in "Yakuza 0: The Place of Oath" as a "thug-style" master, appears in this film as "Ernest Sato," a foreigner who has come to Japan to learn about the country.

Among the troublemakers are familiar characters from past series such as Shinji, Kanda, and Shindo! We can't wait to see how they will interact with Ryoma and Satou.

New challenging content: "Collecting Memoirs
Memoirs" are written about the history and thoughts of people living at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate.
These memoirs, written by people who have never been heard of, may have fallen into the hands of their owners or never reached their senders, but they can be found throughout Kyoto.
When you hand the collected memoirs to Sato, you can exchange opinions about each memoir, and you will hear many interesting stories from him, such as his surprise at cultural differences and his frank opinions from a foreign point of view.

■ "The Righteous Debt Collector"
~ Synopsis.
Yae, a woman clad in a gaudy haori with a dragon on her back.
She is famous for "hating those who prey on the weak the most in this world," and those who do wrong are subjected to her merciless hammering.
She is called "Miss Tatsu, the debt collector," and is hated by the villains of the town. When a couple of Yae's acquaintances were entangled with an unscrupulous moneylender, Yae asked Ryoma, who happened to be nearby, to help her, and Ryoma decided to work with Yae.
One day, an incident occurs in which people who were close to Yae are kidnapped one after another.
Ryoma decides to work with Yae to solve the case. ......

In "Yakuza 0: The Place of Oath," "Miss Tatsu" was a master who taught the young Kazuma Kiryu how to fight.

In this new work, she appears in a new sub-story as "Yae Yamamoto," who collects debts for a living, just as she did in "Yakuza0: The Place of Oaths.

＜Enjoy the slow life in the idyllic countryside! Another Life
At Ryoma's other house in the peaceful countryside, you and Haruka, a well-known character in the "Yakuza" series, can live "Another Life," a life that is different from your normal life.

For some reason, Ryoma has decided to live with Haruka at the other house.
At the other house, Ryoma can earn money by "cooking" with vegetables he grows in the fields and fish he catches, and by "peddling" the food, vegetables, and fish he cooks.
In addition, the player can enjoy various elements of the game, such as the possibility of adopting a dog or cat that he or she meets in the city.
