The reason why it was broken into 6 parts is because of the architecture of the game engine first created for the PS2. It wasn't sophisticated enough to have recurring enemies 24/7, so there was an experience cap implemented. This substory was created to make up for that and give the player more EXP so they don't lose out on maxing Kiryu's stats. However, since upgrading to the PS3, there has been no need for the experience cap due to the advancements made during development of Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan! and 3, so it was dropped.
tl;dr, the PS2 was literally not good enough to have 24/7 recurring enemy encounters like in Yakuza 3 onward, so the dev team had to get creative and not only introduce a cap on the encounters, but also break several substories into pieces to allow the player to earn more EXP. There was still the tournament, but uh...well, just be glad we've had some necessary technological upgrades over the years. >_>;;;
The first instances of the Ultimate Essence required you to dizzy the opponent first, IIRC. Then you just needed to press Triangle as a fuck-you button in 0 and 5 (though the latter needed you at red health), and now we're full circle.
In 0, you didn’t necessarily need to stun the opponent to do Ultimate Essence. You just have to hit triangle in front of an enemy when you have at least your 3rd heat bar, and that’s it. Just be sure you aren’t in an R1 stance and too far from the opponent, or it’ll make you do a different heat action.

> Gangbusters
> Keep harassing a single 'punk' that happens to be the Dragon of Dojima
Did they confuse 'lone guy' with 'gang'?
It's been said that Kiryu's worth about a hundred men. So if anything, they're taking on a one-man army.
When there's something strange
In the neighborhood
Who you gotta call? Gangbusters!
"Gumboogers" Kiryu pls
What about gagbatters
Gargleblotters
Am I the only one whom is reminded of DBZ Abridged when I think of that? XD
“It’s Gangbusters. Justice is served when I destroy you and interrogate you after that!”
7:03 Nobody breaks the law on my watch! I'm confiscating your stolen goods. Now pay your fine or it's off to jail.
Pay gold
>[resist arrest]
@@Nuelthebro Then pay with your blood!
This substory was split into 6 parts in the original Yakuza, nice seeing it in one big piece

ranchdressing
Damn, thats really good to know
ranchdressing Wow, that sure is alot of info for a substory..
Kiryu did these guys a favor. If they actually kept at it until they became a pain for the Yakuza, they'd find themselves hunted down quite brutally
This is the REAL reason why Kiryu fails to save Shinji and Reina. He spend the entire time beating up these punks
7:03 Oh boy....
PAY THE COURT A FINE OR SERVE YOUR SENTENCE! YOUR STOLEN GOODS ARE NOW FORFIET.
No
NOBODY BREAKS THE LAW ON MY WATCH! NOW PAY THE FINE, OR IT'S OFF TO JAIL.
they knew damn well what they were doing
Kiryu’s a man of many talents, but apparently he can’t pronounce Gangbusters correctly. XD
Gagbatters... Never change Kiryu. xD
7:01 Oblivion refference.
10:36
How it feels to complete the rush skill tree
4:17 I didn't know you can do it on a normal grunt

I only heard about Ghostbusters, didn't heard about gangbusters
Gagbatters
Gargleblotters
Gumboogers
What did he have that just allowed him to gain heat when looking at someone
doesnt look like they become stronger each encounter
7:50 Did I just hear "ORA" or I misheard it?
yeah cause it's a normal japanese battle cry
Not like "MUDA" or "ARI" and "DORA"
a kiryu chan free substory
Ha ha Gumboogers... lol.
Why they don't have legs
is asano really tojo clan
One of the more boring substories
