Novel & Cerita Yakuza 0 Fortune-teller

Saejima's absence in 'Yakuza 0' is actually one of the most interesting talking points for fans of the series. While he doesn't physically appear, his legacy looms large over the Tojo Clan's power struggles. The game sets in 1988, years before his infamous hit on the Ueno Family, but you can feel the tension building toward that event. Characters like Dojima and Shimano reference the 'empty lot' dispute, which later ties into Saejima's arc in 'Yakuza 4'. It's wild how RGG Studio plants these seeds early.

What fascinates me is how 'Yakuza 0' retroactively enriches Saejima's later appearances. Playing this prequel after the main series makes you notice subtle nods—like how Shimano's ruthlessness hints at why he'd later betray Saejima. The game's focus on Kiryu and Majima's origins makes Saejima's off-screen presence feel like a ghost haunting the narrative. Makes me wish for a DLC or spin-off covering his early days, maybe as a young enforcer climbing the ranks.
