IchiZhao Week Day 4: (Angst) Betrayal

IchiZhao Week Day 4: (Angst) Betrayal

Warning: Mild blood... though not in the way you would normally think. I thought I would put that warning out there anyway. Plus, this contains spoilers for Zhao's Drink Link in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. So, all of this is kept under the "Keep reading" cut.

Akira Mabuchi (a former friend turned into an enemy of Zhao's) gets caught on the act of vandalization using a glow-in-the-dark version of his Crescent Blade. Now, there's a good reason why Zhao isn't in this shot...

...And that's because this is taking place inside his heart (literally), similar to the movie Fantastic Voyage. Basically, Zhao's chest was feeling a consistant sharp pain, so Ichiban has shrunken himself down to find the source of that pain.

This is one of those picture sequences where I wish I could use Blender, SFM, or the like for both pictures. But, I don't have the skills or the patience to do so (interior design and Photoshopping are pretty much the best I can do for 3D art right now).

IchiZhao Week Day 6: Karaoke Night / Date Night

First stop Ichiban and Zhao make on a night with just them together: an arcade. Ichiban is trying his hand at a giant crane game that picks up actual furniture as prizes. Ichiban manages to grab a couch with the machine.

Now, a little arcade late night talk...

Next stop: not just karaoke night, but an entire concert night. Ichiban and Zhao become one of the acts performing at the concert.

Finally, the two have dessert at a soda fountain.
