(5/1) Kaz has a vague sense that this isn't his first time going on a date with a hot girl he met over the phone Retrospec. I mean, it worked out fine before, right?
(5/2) Kaz remembers something about a guy ripping off his jacket (he wasn't wearing a shirt?) and showing off his super rad tattoos. Also they were going to fight. Whoever this dude was, he's cool.
(5/2) Thanks to a conversation about tattoos, Kaz remembers a lot about irezumi, traditional Japanese tattoos, and has gained a huge amount of respect for them. Each tattoo is a bond between the tattoo artist and the person receiving a tattoo. The tattoo artist's job is to capture the soul of the person in their art and it's the person's responsibility to take this for the rest of their life, maintaining this work of art that is their soul by never allowing it to fade.He doesn't realize they're Yakuza tattoos yet though...
(5/5) While watching Majima fight off a giant squirrel (and here I thought this game couldn't be weirder than Yakuza,) Kaz remembers... fighting... two tigers... with his bare hands... jesus christ.
(5/6) Kaz remembers Pocket Circuit Racing. Sure would be useful when you're super tiny, huh?
(5/8) Kiryu remembers being called "ojisan" by... kids. He can't remember the kids exactly, but the word makes him feel nostalgic and fond. Thanks, Majima.
(5/23) After hearing about Tatsuo's apartment burning down, Kiryu recalls a similar thing happening to him, once. Holy shit.
(6/1) Majima received Kiryu's business card from Retrospec... well, except it was in Japanese and has an address listed in "Kamurocho". Kaz remembers giving the same card to someone... has he been a real estate agent this long?
(6/2) Kaz remembers being arrested and being sent to prison. Yikes. Thanks for reminding him, Majima.
(6/2) So apparently Kiryu once played golf against some council member? What. Why.
(6/6) Kaz now remembers Tetsu Tachibana, his old boss at Tachibana Real Estate. He remembers his face, anyway...

(6/15) After fighting Majima for real now that he's buff, Kaz starts getting flashbacks to another fight he had with the eyepatch-wearing tattooed guy. It seems like despite the fact that they often fight each other (and rip their shirts off,) they were friends. Though they went two years without fighting each other?
(6/25) Well, Majima lost his eye, so Kiryu's finally remembered that Majima is in fact the eyepatch guy in his memories.
(6/26) Kiryu now remembers he used to drive a taxi under a fake name ("Suzuki")

(7/8) After talking about death and whether it's better to forget people, Kiryu remembers trying to reunite Tachibana with his sister, though his old boss died from his wounds before Kiryu could bring them together. Even still, she cried over him and began to regain her sight so that she could see her brother one last time and keep the image of him burned in her mind forever. Damn.
(7/10) After talking about a man losing a finger, Kiryu remembers Kuze cutting off his pinkie in front of him and the higher-ups in the Dojima family. Quite the powerful image...
(7/18) After being fake-arrested by Nisha, Kiryu now remembers he took the fall for a friend over Dojima's murder. What a guy.
(7/23) Talking about dancing and Kiryu now remembers that he... used to dance disco. And that the Maharaja is a thing.

(9/20) Thanks to Tatsuo's motorcycle video, Kiryu now remembers getting run over by Kuze in the sewer. What the hell.

(10/8) Kiryu now remembers shooting a movie with Miracle Johnson and Steven Spining
(10/19) Kiryu now remembers being friends with and dancing against Miracle Johnson in the Maharaja.
(10/24) Kiryu now remembers... throwing money at people to get out of fights. '88 was a wild time.
(10/30) Kiryu now remembers Goromi the Hostess. I love Yakuza Kiwami.
(10/31) Kiryu now remembers wearing a grey suit and telling his friend why he chose his Look.
(11/1) Kiryu now remembers wearing a floral-print shirt and sandals, like a true dad.
(11/2) Kiryu now remembers that he was not well-liked during his stint in prison. Also the food sucked.
(11/12) Kiryu now remembers his conversation with Awano, where he out-bluffed him and refused to help him betray the clan.
(11/13) Kiryu now remembers that time Majima showed off his huge family. It was badass and needlessly showboaty. That's our Majima.
(11/13) Kiryu now remembers he fought Shimano (Majima's old boss) at somebody's funeral. Dude was a brickhouse.

(3/1) Kiryu remembers some of his time at the orphanage; making dinner with Haruka and taking care of a whole bunch of kids.
(3/3) Kiryu now remembers that time Mine walked in with a dude's head in a briefcase. Nice.
(3/23) Kiryu now remembers his first day on the job at Tachibana Real Estate and the fact that there was an asshole who walked him through it all: Oda.
THING

(10/10) Kaz is now effectively immune to knives and bullets, unless it would be dramatic for him not to be. Thanks, plot armor.
(10/31) Kaz has regained Heat as well as his Brawler style. Time to get dangerous and generate blue fire when you get pumped, Kaz.
(1/6) Kiryu can now sense when Majima is near or if he is looking for him. If Majima were to disappear or stop searching for him, he would sense that their "bond" is broken. But that probably won't happen!

(10/1) Kaz has received a steel briefcase with 160,000,000 yen inside. He's rolling in those sweet 80s yens.
(10/8) Kaz has regained Nugget the chicken. The actual chicken.
THING
