Imagine yagami had to investigate a huge case and it involved tekken to where he attends the tournament with his friends and suddenly they were surrounded by the force soilders and they all fight there way pass them.

force soilders stand infront of yagami, kaito, fumiya and higashi

Yagami: what the...

Kaito: guess they're not letting us through.

Fumiya: ya gotta be kidding me, it's like when we chased after kuroiwa and the cops were in the way?

Higashi: aniki i got ya back, just don't go doin crazy shit

Kaito: hehe yeah

Fumiya: we're really doin this yagami?

????: you might aswell, you came this far afterall.

kuwana shows up

Yagami: kuwana? Why are you here?

Kuwana: i figured you boys were about to face these guys and get on the plane, might aswell join since others are still out to get me.

everyone gets into a fighting stance

Yagami: alright let's do this!

new adventure with yagami and the gang, kuwana joins to get out of Japan for a while

I'm so glad to see Tsukumo in the picture, so many fans just ignore him. Sure, he didn't fight but he was just as important to the boys and should not be ignored!

As much as Higashi acts like they aren't, the CD cover to this game's soundtrack just cements that him and Yagami are bros to the very end.

I love how all 5 basically personify an average man's circle of friends. There's the one who's a total geek (Tsukumo), the one who's super manly and buff (Kaito), the one who's very smart and well-read (Yagami), the one who's very athletic (Sugiura) and the one who always looks cool and dresses nicely (Higashi).
Like, literally everyone of us is one of those types, and we all know other dudes who fit these descriptions.

The thumbnail looks like Higashi saying "See you all in the next game"

Judgement really has the "me and the boys" theme on point.

The best part about the boys in Judgment is that, Yagami isn't the sole alpha of the group.

There are times when other point out things Yagami didn't aware of, they put up good fight most of times, have their own motivation instead of just following protagonist out of respect.

Best dynamic in RGG games imo

Higashi is such a bro. I mean look at him. He is the only one looking back and waving.

Ichi and party are an enjoyable bunch no doubt, but when you experience Yagami and his band of brothers, it's nothing short of amazing and special, and the songs Destination and then Final Destination do nothing but cement the absolute unit these guys are, this song captures having guys at your back better than any other song in the franchise to date, when this kicked in for the finale of the 100 man throwdown at the warehouse, this song was beyond perfect and captured the journey from 2018 to 2021 with Yagami, Kaito, Sugiura and Higashi. Wouldn't have it any other way.

All they needed was Tesso...like seriously. I REALLY liked that guy.

Tesso deserved to be with the boys against the RK, change my mind

This is yagami's "receive you. change my mind.

God I love The Judge Men

I spent the entirety of Lost Judgment terrified by the mere thought Higashi wouldn't make it out alive until the end. Best male tsundere bro ever.

- Yagami and the Boys:
• Takayuki Yagami.
• Masaharu Kaito.
• Fumiya Sugiura.
• Toru Higashi.
• Makoto Tsukumo.
• Issei Hoshino.
• Tesso.

Interesting Thing I Noticed: Much like Yakuza 4, I think Yagami's allies are meant to represent the Four Guardians. Kaito (Byakko The White Tiger) Higashi (Seiryu The Blue Dragon) Sugiura (Suzaku The Red Phoenix) and Tsukumo (Genbu The Black Tortoise) 🧐

I have no idea how they’re gonna top the final fight in LJ with a possible sequel. All I can hope is that RGG delivers.

Imagine seeing Yagami, Ichiban, and others team up in a game. It would be so hype to see them working together.
