I love my man Kiryu but 6 was such a perfect wrap up for Kiryu to retire. I'm gonna love seeing his as a protag again, but honestly I wish my man got to rest for even just a bit and enjoy the rest of his life.

It'll be hard to see Kiryu finally at peace, even though he deserves it. But I'm hopeful for Infinite Wealth. 7 was a great setup for Ichiban, but I don't feel like the torch has been passed. The videos of the two of them just chatting in the trailer though makes me feel Infinite wealth will be the perfect end for Kiryu as he can actually pass the torch and believe Ichiban can do what he can't.

That being said though. I kind of hate 6. It doesn't feel like a "Kiryu" story, and in fact 7's story SHOULD have been 6's and 6's could have been 7.

I'm mostly talking about the Tojo Arc, which could have been fleshed out and been the real game of 6. The thing is after 0-5, 6 just seems to start a whole new story for a single game, and nothing in it really meshes properly with the rest of the series.

(I am being deliberately vague to avoid spoilers)
