Using his new abilities, David returns to school and beats up Katsuo. He does so in full view of the security cameras, resulting in his expulsion from the Academy. Katsuo's father, Tanaka, an Arasaka executive, notices
that David is able to utilize the Sandevistan with no apparent
side effects, making him a valuable test subject for Arasaka's latest product. Meanwhile, as David aimlessly wanders the city, he encounters a young woman, Lucy, who agrees to take him on as a partner. After a night of pickpocketing marks on the subway, David collapses due to overuse of the Sandevistan. Lucy takes David back to Doc, who prescribes him immunosuppressants and warns him not to use his Sandevistan more
than two or three times a day, regardless of David's unusually high tolerance. Lucy invites David to her apartment, where she confides that her dream is to migrate off-world to the Moon. She shows David a virtual reconstruction of the Moon's surface, but this turns out to be a distraction to sell David out to a gang of edgerunners. 3"Smooth Criminal"

Baki's father stops it by hitting the ground, and then everyone is extremely astonished. Baki does his best in the battle, but it turns out that he has no chance at all. His attacks do not make any effect against Yuujirou, even when he uses his Roll Kick trick. Nevertheless, the Ogre is very satisfied with his son's combat level. At some point, Baki's body is crushed into the ground and Yuujirou begins to bombard him with a series of blows to his face when the young fighter is lying unconscious. When he's almost killed by his own father, Emi enters the duel. For the first time, she defends her son and attacks Yuujirou with her fist, stopping him from further attacks towards their son. Her act of courage saves Baki's life, but unfortunately, Emi is murdered by her beloved, who embraces her and breaks her spine. Baki and Emi. After the whole situation, dying Emi keeps her unconscious son on her knees and sings him the last lullaby. Later, a scene is
shown in
which Baki keeps his mother on her back and walks with her through the city.
The next game, Bad-Mouth Sugoroku is a game where people bad mouth
each other and submit the cards privately. The revelations, such as someone participating in compensated dating, and someone doing plastic surgery, are made to pit them against each other. This game was drawn out pretty long, and felt pretty shallow. It made the group of friends seem like they weren’t very close in the first place, since something pretty trivial, like doing plastic surgery, could cause a rift between the characters. A lot of these revelations create shock value,
which in my opinion, is not a very good way to advance the plot.
The third game was a simple hide and seek game, except the hider can’t move, so they can’t get any food. It felt like a battle of wits between the two teams, but in the end, it was a pretty anticlimactic conclusion, with violence just being the answer to everything. Expected a bit more from this.
There are other backstories that I won’t go into here, but even though I have said a few negative things about each game, there are still positives, in that the suspense factor is handled pretty well, even if it relies heavily on shock value. Yuuichi’s struggles are always fun to see, and his ways to get through each game are enjoyable as well.
