Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin is the latest game in the Ryu Ga Gotoku/Yakuza series and some details are finally beginning to show themselves.

– Ishin is not a true sequel to Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzan! but more of a spiritual sequel
– Ishin is set just before the Meiji restoration period and not the Edo period of Kenzan!
– Kazama Kiryu is playing the role of Sakamoto Ryōma. Japanese histroy tells us Ryōma sought to overthrow the government and restore rule to the Emperor and held strong beliefs that all men were equal
– A considerable amount of backstory was translated from this magazine scan: click here
