Yakuza: Dead Souls: Kiryu's 15 substories Kiryu has the last 15 regular substories in Dead Souls, and this is where Date and Arase become recruitable partners. You'll also be rescuing the Crimson Shield members and doing one more zombie-film job. Full side-story spoilers below. Most start in Kiryu's Chapter 2. The Majima Man becomes available later. You can return through the finale or Premium Adventure, so the chapter change doesn't permanently erase the list. 1. Zombie Rights Find the man with the donation box at the Nakamichi Street entrance. Agree to donate. Give ¥10,000 if you want the Eye of the Dragon reward rather than the smaller-donation outcome. Enter the quarantine, clear the first encounter, and head toward the tank near Millennium Tower. Enter the Oriental Building opposite it and finish the fight inside. 2. The Lost Shield Members Part 1 Speak to Akaishi at the barrier near Smile Burger and agree to help. Once he calls, go toward the front of Kamurocho Hills and find the group toward the western side. Clear the attack and escort all three men out alive. If the phone call isn't arriving, cross back into the safe area and move around. 3. The Lost Shield Members Part 2 Answer the next call after finishing Part 1. Enter the quarantine and find the next three men around Gelateria. Agree to rescue them and lead the entire group out. Don't run so far ahead that a straggler stays trapped in a fight. 4. The Lost Shield Members Part 3 Meet the Shield member outside Don Quixote. Go into the Theater District and speak to the group there. Start the escort. When the rescue is interrupted by a scene, survive the one-minute defense sequence. 5. The Lost Shield Members Part 4 After the next call, head toward Millennium Tower. Look west along the buildings near the tank rather than just running across the plaza. The injured man is tucked near a doorway and is easy to miss. Interact, clear the attackers, and escort him out. 6. A Day in the Life of Date Part 1 Enter the Sky Finance/New Serena alley and take the exterior stairs to the event. Bring a convenience-store food item with you beforehand to save an extra trip. Give Date the food. That completes the first entry and recruits him. 7. A Day in the Life of Date Part 2 Take Date into the quarantine and spend some time fighting alongside him. Head back toward the exit to trigger his phone call. Leave and meet him outside Le Marche. Agree to continue if you're ready for Part 3, or return to him later. 8. A Day in the Life of Date Part 3 Speak to Date outside Le Marche if you didn't continue immediately. In the quarantine, head to the Nakamichi Alley intersection and follow the sequence of scenes, approaching the people involved and then moving toward Date. This is a continuation of his investigation, not a separate random encounter. 9. A Day in the Life of Date Part 4 Continue toward the Hotel District intersection near Ryugujo. Defeat the zombies, win the chase against Karasu, and clear the last fight. The completed chain awards a Seal of the Dragon.

No Man's Wonderland Find the man in the pink raincoat outside Asia in the quarantine. Agree to take a break and follow him. Finish the event to receive the Ruby and unlock the prerequisite for Kiryu's film job. 11. Arase Returns Part 1 Go to the event near Volcano without a partner. Follow Arase into the nearby building, beside the tanker area, and clear the zombies. Arase joins your partner roster. 12. Arase Returns Part 2 Meet Arase at Gary's Boot Camp and enter the quarantine together. Go to Millennium Tower's front entrance and fight, then continue to the Theater District and fight again. Head toward the exit for the sniper scene. Leave the crowd to Arase and move toward the sniper's position at the end of the street. 13. Arase Returns Part 3 Take Arase out from Gary's again. Go into the Theater District and fight until he speaks to you during gameplay. Leave the quarantine, then reenter using the option to act as his decoy. Head to Millennium Tower for his call. Choose the dodge responses quickly in this order: roll backward, roll right, roll forward. Follow the lead to the Oriental Building, continue the scene, and defeat the Diptera and other zombies. The story can continue after a mistaken dodge, but those are the clean responses. 14. The Zombening, Starring Kiryu Finish No Man's Wonderland first. Find the cameraman, Kudo, near the soldiers and white van outside Smile Burger at the northern end of Nakamichi Street. Enter the quarantine alone and head toward the batting center. Agree to help him, then fight through the successive groups. The reward includes Blood of the Dragon. 15. The Majima Man Finish Zombie Rights first. In Chapter 3 or later, find the man east of Sushi Gin and agree to get him inside. Clear the first fight and head toward the Kamuro Theater for the next scene. Inspect the stuffed animal in the room. Continue through the Kamurocho Hills entrance, descend the manhole, and follow the tunnel to Purgatory to finish it. One timing detail here: before committing to the end of Kiryu's Chapter 3, you can leave Purgatory through the earlier entrance and do side content. You don't have to tell Akiyama you're ready just because he's waiting. If you've already advanced, use the finale or Premium Last Adventure instead of treating this as a permanently missed substory. Finishing Kiryu's 15 gives Airstrike: A Pilot's Tale, the design source for the Dragon Rifle. All four characters' 15-entry lists together make 60. The hostess events and Kine's Subterranea assignments are separate systems, so don't count those as substitutes for a missing regular substory. For Amon, finish these 60, finish each character's underground assignments, complete the follow-up conversations, and respond to the message involving Kamiyama. Just getting the 40-substory trophy is nowhere near the end of that requirement.
