![]() ![]() Ryo boards the boat and travels to Hong Kong in pursuit of Lan Di, concluding the first chapter of Shenmue. Before the close of the first chapter (and subsequent end of the game itself), he is instructed by Master Chen to seek out the help of a master of the Chinese martial arts located in Wan Chai named Tao Lishao. With the aid of the Chen family as well as his family and friends, Ryo boards a boat to Hong Kong. Ryo is confronted by Chai and defeats him. Upon defeat, the gang's leader reveals to Ryo that Lan Di has left Japan for Hong Kong, China. To rescue Nozomi, Ryo must first fight Guizhang, then team up with Guizhang to defeat all seventy members of the Mad Angels gang. After a few days of work, eventually he causes them enough trouble that the gang kidnaps his friend (and principal love interest) Nozomi Harasaki. Ryo takes a forklift job on the harbor waterfront in order to learn more about the Mad Angels gang. After much investigation, he locates the second mirror underneath his father's dojo, dubbed the Phoenix Mirror and decorated with a phoenix. Ryo also learns that "the mirror" stolen by Lan Di is part of a set of two mirrors. Through Chen and his son Guizhang, Ryo learns that a local wharf gang known as the Mad Angels is connected to Lan Di's crime organization, the Chi You Men. Just as he is about to run out of leads, a letter from a man named Yuanda Zhu suggests that he seek the aid of a certain Master Chen, who works at the harbor. Ryo meets Master Chen and his son Guizhang in a harbor warehouse. Ryo uses Asia Travel Company to buy a ticket but is, unfortunately, scammed when his ticket is eaten by a strange hostile man named Chai. He eventually discovers Lan Di is heading to Hong Kong in China. Though his leads are few and far between, Ryo slowly makes progress in his investigation by interviewing people all over Yokosuka. Ryo's first clue is a car that some of his neighbors saw on the day of the murder. He begins to instigate inquiries into the incident with the local people of his Japanese hometown, Sakuragaoka. Ryo is instilled with the desire for revenge above all else. Lan Di finishes the fight with a deadly blow, and he and his men then leave. The two then fight, as he wishes Iwao to die "as a warrior". After Lan Di's henchmen recover the mirror, he mentions a man called Sunming Zhao, who was allegedly killed by Iwao in a rural Chinese village. He then lifts Ryo from the ground and threatens to kill him, prompting Iwao to reveal its location under the cherry blossom tree. Ryo intervenes in battle after his father is felled, but is injured by Lan Di. Lan Di demands Iwao hand over an item known as the " Dragon Mirror", though Iwao refuses to reveal where it is. Ryo Hazuki returns home to his family dojo to witness his father, Iwao Hazuki, battling with a man dressed in a green silk Chinese suit known as Lan Di. ![]() Shenmue and Shenmue II were adapted into Shenmue the Animation in 2022. The game was ported into a HD collection titled Shenmue I & II along with its 2001 sequel, Shenmue II for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Suzuki intended to achieve this by simulating aspects of real life through the game, such as the day/night/sleep system, real time variable weather effects (unheard of in a game of this kind at the time), fully voiced non-player characters with their own daily schedules, quick time events, and various other interactive elements such as vending machines, arcades, and convenience stores. Suzuki coined a genre title, "FREE" (Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment), for the game, based on the interactivity and freedom he wanted to give to the player. Shenmue borrows gameplay elements from several different genres, but largely consists of open-world adventure segments with real-time 3D battles interspersed throughout. The story follows a Japanese teen's search for his father's murderer. It is an open-world adventure video game developed by Sega-AM2 and published by Sega for the Dreamcast, produced and directed by Yu Suzuki.
