Today SEGA dropped the Blade of Vengeance Trailer for Like a Dragon Ishin! showing you the setup for Sakamoto Ryoma joining the Shinsengumi to track down a killer. The setup may look familiar to anyone that’s played Yakuza 1 As a history buff the retelling of Ryoma’s story is a fantastic entry point in to this period of Japan and even though it deviates Sakamoto Ryoma was one of the coolest guys during the time period!
