Character Story - Nishikiyama [RGGO]

The way the RGGO cards work is that cards with the exact same character name, despite different rarities, will all connect to the same character story. That’s why we have “Kiryu” vs “Kiryu (JHS)”, which have totally separate stories. So the fact that I have 4 different Nishiki cards, 3 of them featuring Mean Nishiki, and yet they ALL connect to this one story taking place in the year 1990 is kinda upsetting (especially cuz wanting to see more of Nishiki was legit my reason for picking up RGGO :/ ).

Not to say there’s anything bad about 1990 Nishiki, it’s just that this card / story might be one of the very first ones on RGGO given how brief it is and the sprite’s anime-ish style (as opposed to the more detailed Mine or Tanimura cards, or the latest Dragon Engine-styled ones). So compared to those, the story here is pretty simple. BUT on the bright side, I recently acquired and finished the Nishiki JHS card, so i’ll do that next before the Daigo one :D

(And because the original card is Rare and looks kinda plain, i took the liberty of choosing the coolest-looking Mean Nishiki card there is:)

(Ya’ll remember that time when Nishiki was sexily crying and sexily contemplating seppuku before he sexily gutted Matsushige, right? Right?? ¬‿¬ )

Story: The Dojima family does not take Nishiki’s insubordination and Kiryu’s return well.

CHAPTER 1

.

|One day in 1990 . . . |

Nishikiyama: “Phew~. I ate too much of the Extra Large Ramen Special . . .”

Nishikiyama: (Until recently, I was fighting for my life in this city . . . walking around like this feels weird.)

Nishikiyama: *looking at his pager* “Oh~ come on and answer . . .”

Nishikiyama: (Well now, I don’t even have Kiryu with me today. I should just go home and sleep . . .)

Thug A: “Oi, are you Nishikiyama?”

Nishikiyama: “Huh? And you are?”

Thug A: “Don’t make any wrong moves.”

Thug B: “Look at him. Let’s just do this quickly.”

Nishikiyama: “Huhhh? What are you talking about . . .”

Thug A: “No need for you to talk! You’re dying here right now!!”

{Nishiki defeats the thugs.}

Thug A: “Damn it . . .the stories were wrong . . . such strength . . .”

Nishikiyama: “Oi. Who told you about me?”

Thug A: “Ah? I-I don’t know . . .”

Nishikiyama: “I don’t know how much you’ve been told, but I’m a yakuza. I’ll do anything just to hear the truth . . . are you ready to spit it out after having a taste of my Yakuza-style listening technique?”

Thug A: “Yes, I-I get it! We were ordered to kill you . . . by the Dojima family. The family you’re with.”

CHAPTER 2

|To continue, on that day in 1990 . . .|

[Shichifuku Street]

Nishikiyama: (The ones trying to kill me are from the Dojima family . . . what could it mean . . .?!)

Nishikiyama: “No way, is Kiryu also a target . . . ?!”

Mysterious Man: “. . . It’s Nishikiyama.”

Nishikiyama: “! Another one, you too . . . ?!”

Mysterious Man: “I have no grudge against you, but you’re going to die . . . !”

Nishikiyama: “Tch. It seems you have a different motive from the thug earlier . . . !”

{Nishiki defeats the hitman.}

Nishikiyama: “Haa . . . haa . . . Oi, were you hired by the Dojima family too?”

Mysterious Man: “. . . no professional would spit out his employer’s name. Stupid.”

Nishikiyama: “Hm. Your answer’s enough. After all, I don’t think there’s any mistake. First a thug, then a killer. This isn’t going to stop until I die . . . !”

???: “It’s useless, Nishikiyama. You’re like a cockroach.”

Dojima family executive: “It can’t be helped, we’ll have to kill you ourselves.”

Nishikiyama: “Haaa. I guess this really is a hit . . . !”

CHAPTER 3

.

|To continue, on that day in 1990 . . .|

Dojima family executive: “Jeez . . . as much as possible I wanted you to die at the hands of an outsider that can’t be connected to me.”

Nishikiyama: “So is that why you started off with a thug and a hitman? Aniki. If you have any complaints against me, shouldn’t you have approached me directly instead of going in such a roundabout way?”

Dojima family executive: “Shut up. You and Kiryu turned against our patriarch during the ‘Empty Lot’ incident . . . but since Patriarch Dojima accepted Kiryu’s return, Nishikiyama, your rebellion was forgiven. Why the boss would forgive Kazama’s favorite, I don’t know. If any other yakuza walks out on his patriarch even once, he wouldn’t be free . . . !!”

Nishikiyama: “So because you didn’t like that, you plotted to kill me.  . . . I understand.”

Dojima family executive: “Huh?”

Nishikiyama: “No, it’s like what Kiryu said before. ‘Don’t run away, if you keep working hard then what remains is the way to go’. When I first heard that, I honestly couldn’t understand what he meant. But now I think I get it. That’s why I can’t run away either.  . . . you’re right, aniki.”

Dojima family executive: “. . . !”

Nishikiyama: “It doesn’t make sense to be allowed back in the Dojima family. But you have no choice but to accept it. However . . . Will you overlook Kiryu if I accept your punishment? Isn’t one person enough?”

Dojima family executive: “Heh, heheheh. It’s a special victory. Alright. Oi! Take this guy out!”

{Nishiki is dragged to a back alley and beaten.}

Nishikiyama: “Fuck . . . haa, haa . . . “

Dojima family executive: “Can’t believe you’re still alive like cancer. You really are a cockroach. Kiryu should be dead right about now, another executive is dealing with him. Now die already!”

Nishikiyama: “. . . ! You said Kiryu wouldn’t be . . . !”

Dojima family executive: “Idiot! I made that up! You and Kiryu, you’re both going to die!”

Nishikiyama: “. . . is that right. In that case, that’s a completely different story.”

Dojima family executive: “Wh-What the hell?”

Nishikiyama: “I’m sorry but I can’t let you get to him. I’m defeating you here and going over to help Kiryu!”

Dojima family executive: “Ha . . . ? Hahaha! What a joke! You think you can deal with these many people? You talk too much, die quickly!!”

{Nishiki defeats all the Dojima family members around him.}

Nishikiyama: “Oi . . . where is Kiryu . . .”

Dojima family executive: “Fuck . . .”

Nishikiyama: “Spit it out quickly . . . or I’ll make you . . . !”

Dojima family executive: “Hii! He-He’s at Children’s Park. But . . .”

Nishikiyama: “Damn that’s far . . .”

----

[Children’s Park]

Nishikiyama: “Haa . . . ! Haa . . . ! Kiryu!!”

Nishikiyama: “. . . that’s . . .!”

Dojima family members: “Guh . . . “

Nishikiyama: “This many people . . . he dealt with them all alone . . . ! Oi! get up! Is Kiryu safe?!”

Dojima family member A: “Ugh, N-Nishikiyama . . . ? They messed up over there too .  . . ?!”

Nishikiyama: “! So he’s safe!”

Dojima family member A: “Far from being safe . . . that bastard, at first he was taking the beating silently. ‘This is my burden’, he said . . . “

Nishikiyama: “!”

Dojima family member A: “However, Nishikiyama . . . he wanted you to be overlooked.”

Nishikiyama: “What . . . ?!”

Dojima family member A: “As soon as we told him we weren’t going to do that, he became . . . like a monster . . .”

Nishikiyama: “Man, that guy . . . he’s just like me . . . Oi.”

Dojima family member A: “Wh-What is it . . . ?!”

Nishikiyama: “Me and Kiryu, I think we’ve taken enough of your punishment. But if you still have any complaints against us . . . Come at me anytime. I’ll deal with you as I see fit.”

Dojima family member A: “. . . !!”

Nishikiyama: “Tell that to everyone. Now scram.”

----

Nishikiyama: *looking at his pager* “Come on, if my intuition is correct, it should come any moment now . . . Here it is. What did he say. . .? ‘1052167’ . . . ‘Where are you?’.”

Nishikiyama: “Heh, that Kiryu, he’s finally mastered the pager, hasn’t he?”
