Alongside returning characters like Masaharu Kaito, the Genda Law attorneys, Fumiya Sugiura and Makoto Tsukumo, who have opened their own detective agency in Yokohoma, Lost Judgement features a wealth of new characters that just as loveable, like the troubled teacher Yoko Sawa, the Ichijo handyman Jin Kuwana and some of the students of Seiryo High School. Takayuki Yagami is obviously the star of the show, with his internal monologues adding more depth to the character, providing great insight on the character's amazing investigative skills, but every other character that is central to the plot is just as well developed. The side cases, on the other hand, are considerably more light-hearted and work great to balance out the story, which does get pretty dark at times.Ĭharacters are just as great as the story is. The story moves at a great pace, dealing with themes like the flaws of the Japanese judiciary system and bullying in a pretty mature way, constantly adding more layers to the starting mystery in such a way that it keeps players glued to the screen for the entire duration of the story (around 30 hours long). The tonal shift from the Yakuza series works just as well in the new game as it did in the original, making it almost feel like a TV show, which is further highlighted by the short summaries shown between chapters. Like in the original game, the story is truly the star of the show in Lost Judgment. Together with Kaito, the attorney turned private investigator starts investigating the matter, leading him to discover how matters are possibly even more complicated than what they look like. With an alibi that is as solid as it can get, Saori Shirosaki, Akihiro Ehara's lawyer for the sexual harassment case, has no other choice than seek Yagami's help. The victim apparently bullied his son Toshiro, bringing him to commit suicide four years before the game's events. Akihiro Ehara, a working policeman who was arrested for a sexual harassment incident, suddenly revealed during his trial that 22-year-old Hiro Mikoshiba, a student-teacher at Seiryo High School in the Ijincho district in Yokohama, has been killed, and his body has been left in an abandoned building. Continuing to work in Tokyo's Kamurocho district with his partner, former yakuza Masaharu Kaito, Yagami finds himself assisting his former colleague Saori Shirosaki and the Genda Law Office on a very complicated case. Lost Judgment stars Takayuki Yagami once again.
