To complete his friendship quest, frequently go back to Senryo Avenue North and keep showing him the pocket tissue when prompted to continue increasing his friendship bar.

To complete the friendship quest, keep buying mushrooms from him until he leaves. Enter a location or come back later to find him harassed by punks looking to trip on some shrooms. Beat them and talk to the merchant and choose whichever option you prefer. Buy mushrooms from him until he leaves again. Enter a location or come back later to find him being harassed yet again by more thugs. Beat them, talk to him, and choose another option for him to look less shady. Buy from him again until he leaves, then enter a location or come back later one last time to find him being harassed by some men in black. Beat them and finish the conversation to reach 100% friendship with the Mushroom Merchant.

Substory 50 - Pocket Circuit Fighter!:

• Prerequisites - Complete Chapter 1

The first time you enter the Pocket Circuit arena, you will talk to PC fighter, who will give you a car of your own and take your through tutorial races for Pocket Circuit. Completing the races activates the friendship quest and completes the substory.

To complete the friendship quest, finish three races (you don't have to win them, just finish them) and PC fighter will be teased by kids. Defend him to finish this section. Finish three or four more races, and PC fighter will leave the arena. Go outside of SEGA on Nakamichi Street to find him. Talk to him to get him to return and increase his friendship bar. Keep finishing races until PC fighter looks sad. Finish another race to trigger the next conversation. After, go to Public Park 3 between Tenkaichi and Nakamichi Street to find him. Talk to him to complete his friendship quest and get the best Pocket Circuit car base, the Devil Killer.

Substory 51 - Miho, Convenience Store Clerk:

Enter Poppo Tenkaichi Street and buy something. This will activate the friendship quest and complete the substory.

Talk to the receptionist at Mach Bowl to activate the friendship quest and complete the substory.

To complete the friendship quest, choose 'Challenge the staff' and bowl with Emiri four times. After the fourth time, she will tell you about a competition to roll a turkey (three strikes in a row). Either play solo or challenge Emiri and roll a turkey to receive the chicken, Nugget, and get 100% friendship with Emiri, completing the friendship quest.

The easiest way I've found to consistently get a strike is to pick the six pound ball, go all the way to the left of the alley and press twice as quick as you can. This will set the angle of your shot. Make sure your power is at least 85+ and roll with NO spin. It takes a small amount of luck, but this way should ensure you get a turkey in a timely manner.

Substory 53 - Sushi Gin Chef:

• Prerequisites - Complete Chapter 1

Talk to the man at Sushi Gin (very bottom of the map, between Tenkaichi and Nakamichi Street) to activate the friendship quest and complete this substory.

Either buy three to five fish from the merchant from Substory 8 or take a taxi to the pier and catch three to five fish. Return to Sushi Gin and choose the option to give him fish. Once you do this three to five times, you will reach 100% friendship with the chef, completing the friendship quest.

Substory 54 - Luka at SEGA HI-TECH LAND:

• Prerequisites - Complete Chapter 1

Enter the SEGA arcade on Nakamichi Street and play a game of OutRun. This will enter a conversation with Luka, activating the friendship quest and completing the substory.

To complete the friendship quest, continue playing Outrun (I'd suggest actually playing and practicing at getting better at it) until her friendship meter is about halfway. Return and she will challenge you to beat her Outrun high score of 1,500,000 points. This shouldn't be too challenging if you've been practicing. Continue playing until her bar is almost full, and she'll challenge you to beat her score again. This time, it is 3,000,000 points. You will need to be able to get to the second checkpoint to beat this. Keep trying until you do, then re enter the store to unlock Super Hang-On, reach 100% on her friendship meter, and complete the friendship quest.

Finale/Premium Adventure

Substory 94 - The Head of the Clan:

• Prerequisites - Complete all other substories as Kiryu

After completing 59 substories as Kiryu and either being on the final chapter or in Premium Adventure Mode, you will get notifications on your pager, leading you to take a taxi to the Bullfighter Arena. This leads you to the superboss for Kiryu, So Amon. This is the hardest fight in the game for Kiryu, so bring plenty of healing items and weapons with you into this fight.

Having a few super spicy knives will help out a lot, as the heat action with it is very good against So Amon. He has eight health bars and carries a cannon in the first half of the fight that can kill you in one shot, if you aren't careful. Make sure you have dragon mail or another piece of armor that has a high resistance to guns and physical damage, as well as a sacrifice stone, just in case you die midway through the fight. Starting off, use the heat action on the super spicy knife or what ever weapon you bring, then swap to a stance to heat action him while he's on the ground. Keep your health and heat up at all times.

During the second phase, he will lose the cannon and fight like Mr. Shakedown. A helicopter will appear and begin dropping furniture down into the arena. Try not to get hit by the falling debris, as you can very easily die by getting stun locked by it. Occasionally, a golden bottle will drop. This will make you invincible for 10 seconds, so either keep up the pressure with heat actions, or dodge him and the furniture until the bottle drops, then go hard on the offensive.

Play it safe, and you should be able to take him down eventually, completing the last substory with Kiryu.

If this was your last substory, you will unlock:

• Story of My Life

  Complete all substories.
