Judgment North American box art Release Date: September 2021 PC September 2022 (WW) Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio Publisher: SEGA Series: Yakuza Platforms: PS4, PS5, XBOX Series S/X, PC, Amazon Luna Genre: Action-adventure, Brawler, Investigation

Lost Judgment is an action-adventure game developed by Ryu ga Gotoku Studio and published by SEGA in September 2021 for XBOX and PlayStation consoles. The PC version was delayed due to a dispute between SEGA and the voice talent agency Johnny's over actor Takuya Kimura's likeness appearing in a PC game. This was apparently resolved however, as both Lost Judgment and its predecessor Judgment were released on PC simultaneously via Steam in September 2022. Lost Judgment follows protagonist Takayuki Yagami (played by Kimura) as he investigates a high school in the fictional Isezaki Ijincho district of Yokohama, where a student teacher was murdered four years after bullying a classmate to the point of taking his own life.

The following weapons appear in the video game Lost Judgment:

Handguns

Makarov PM

The archetypal Makarov PM pistol, which has appeared in every mainline Yakuza game to date (as well as Judgment), once again makes a return. As always, it features an extended barrel and ring hammer. An RK thug is seen with one in a scene where Yagami is tied up (although he doesn't use it in the subsequent boss fight). It also appears in the picture for the "EX Gun Riposte" ability unlock.

Baikal-442 - 9x17mm Browning/9x18mm Makarov/9x19mm. It is a Canadian market import model of the Makarov. It features an long barrel, not seen on the military Makarov pistol.

Smith & Wesson 3913

A Smith & Wesson 3913 is seen with RK, especially with its leaders (and Tokyo Metropolitan Police Public Security Bureau) Higashi Soma.

Smith & Wesson 3913 - 9x19mm.

Fumiya Sugiura grabs the 3913 from the hooded RK gangster during a fight.

Good view of the 3913.

In this scene, Soma fires the 3913 at Akane's direction. However, Kaito finds out that Soma used a paintball-based pistol.

Soma fires his sidearm at an intruder who's supposedly Kuwana.

You can see the serial number markings on the pistol above the trigger guard.

Revolvers

Nambu Model 60

As always, the police officer character models feature holstered Nambu Model 60s. Of note is the lanyard ring and distinctive handgrip cutout.

Nambu Model 60/Smith & Wesson Model 36 hybrid

This hybrid is seen with two RK gangsters posing as uniformed TMPD officers sent to assassinate Akutsu after Yagami and company beat him and his posse in a fight. The differences between this gun and an actual Nambu have been thoroughly explained on IMFDb pages for other Yakuza-universe games.

Shotguns

Remington M870

This Remington 870 model is used by virtual thugs in the Dice & Cube VR minigame. As usual, this model features a front piece linking the magazine tube and barrel, like the Remington Model 31. For some reason, the thugs aren't holding the front by the pump handle.
