Everything makes sense at the end and the motives are believable but you are a bit puzzled until you get the connections and reveals. While the story itself is really good the separate episodes weaken the performance a bit.
Each of them has an own story line that lead to the climax as those are connected to each other. All these characters are drawn into ramifications from things that happened 25 years ago that play into the events of the current year. Lastly we have Masayoshi Tanimura a police officer, Mahjong genius and protector of Little Asia where the immigrants work together agains discrimination and prejudice by Japanese society. Then we have Taiga Saejima who is a legendary Yakuza and in prison since 25 years awaiting his excecution. He is nicknamed “The lifeline of Kamurocho” as he lends money without interest if you can pass the test he creates for you (Do not think about the Saw movies, criminal things or abuse here). In addition to Kiryu you have Shun Akiyama an entrepreneur and unorthodox money lender with his lovely secretary Hana. It has the innovation that you do not play as Kazuma Kiryu alone. Definitely an improvement over the prequel.
