Will Judgment 3 exist?

Small correction in regards to why Kimura stayed with Johnny's: there has never been an official statement as to why. I would take any articles that uses his wife as the reason why he stayed with a grain of salt as she has been used as a scapegoat for any negative Kimura press for years now (their marriage was not well recieved by the public and Johnny's did little to quell the flames of the backlash, hence why her being thankful to the agency leaves me skeptical). We simply don't know why he stayed (and I'm willing to bet it's something as mundane as a contract being in place). Regardless, with all the Judgment cameos in the mainseries games I truly am hoping that it is RGG's way of hinting for another installment! Guess time will tell though.

Kimura stays in Smile-up because of the staff and the environment makes him feel comfortable not because he afraid his career will not going well. When SMAP was disband, many Japanese hates Kimura and he lost all his jobs in 2017. He got the new jobs when Nagoshi joined the private party and met Kimura. He asked Kimura joined the acting jobs in his new game. Kimura felt shocked that someone wanted to meet him and gave him a new job. Yagami is important for Kimura and I saw Kimura felt very thankful that RGG Studio chose him to act the main protagonist and give the whole series to him.

judgement is too good to NOT make a 3rd or more

Also they added Kaito and Higashi in Gaiden, which was developed after 8, and in 8 they added cameo of Sugiura and Tsukumo aaand also mentioned Yagami infiltrating bike gang club in one of table talks. I mean, it would be stupid to add these things and not make another Judgment game, right?

Judgement 3 will be called "Found judgement"

I want to see a Yakuza 4 and 5 approach with multiple playable characters. Yagami, Kaito, Sugiura and Higashi

Hopefully the story would be about yagami figuring out who killed his father.

I need a game centered around yagami infiltrating a fighting tournament and ichiban gets caught up in it

Shenmue fan here, this series is very much what i wanted shenmue to be from a technical standpoint. Im routing for you guys to get ur 3rd game. I love the mystery/detective theme in these games. And the immersive detail of japan in this game looks jawdropping from what ive seen. Again, go back and look at Shenmue, its so much related in spirit with this series and im not wrong, i heard some of the orginal devs that worked on shenmue, worked on Yakuza and this series. Apart from that Sega never marketed Shenmue as a detective mystery, but the whole thing u do in shenmue is basically look for leads to help you find the main characters fathers murderer. Its totally a detective mystery, except the main character Ryo is just normal guy , aged 17 and is just motivated by revenge and getting justice for his dad. Honestly i hope they call the third game JUSTICE. 😂

They should make it a trilogy calling the last one FINAL JUDGMENT or JUDGMENT DAY

I know the thumbnail is meant to be Kaito, Higashi, and Sugiura's portraits among the glass, but from a distance it just looks like PS2 Yuya.

I hope Judgment 3 we can play 4 of them Yagami, Kaito, Sugiura, Higashi.

It would spice up the detective noire thriller theme on a whole new level if Yagami started tracking down a serial killer/sexual predator like Ted Bundy and/or Pedro Alonso Lopez while battling against the criminal elements the Daidoji faction used to cover up.

Man, it’ll be totally awesome to play as Yagami, Kaito, Higashi and Sugiura. And Judgment 3 would be like a new world of Yakuza 4 and 5.

the games have been successful, so the series should continue with popular characters like Sugiura and Kaito even if Tak can't return...but of course we all hope he can!

That explains a lot about Yagami dancing skills

IMO the best possible outcome in Johnny get bankrupted and completely wiped out of existence. Then Kimura would be a freeman and free to join any project. Maybe he can singing Karaoke too. I think even without this allegation the possibility is already low. Johnny hate the idea of being on PC but SEGA did it anyway. Maybe that the reason SEGA did that is they don’t care about working with Johnny anymore.

I hope we get a Kurohyou 3 aswell, though it will be unlikely

Would like to see him reprise the role but my actual dream is to get Jin Kuwana as a main character.

i hope it happens idk why but i love judgment more than the mainlinegames yagami might be boring for some people but i just love him probably cause of how his actor played him good video btw <3
