According to Famitsu this next Ryu Ga Gotoku game will not be a direct sequel to Kenzan, but, much like the fantastic spinoff it will have Kazuma Kiryu playing a new role this time of visionary of Sakamoto Ryōma.
Sakamoto Ryōma (January 3, 1836 – December 10, 1867) was a leader of the movement to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate during the Bakumatsu period in Japan…
Ryōma was a visionary who envisioned a Japan without any feudal trappings. He read about and was inspired by the example of the United States where “all men are created equal”. He realized that in order to compete with an industrially and technologically advanced outside world, the Japanese people needed to modernize. He has also been seen as an intriguing mix of the traditional and modern, symbolized by his preference for samurai dress while favoring western footwear.
