This included details on the Dark Instruments he can deploy and the sharks, apes, and jellyfish they summon to fight baddies. Alongside the more traditional Mad Dog style Majima has used throughout the entire Yakuza / Like a Dragon series, players can also choose to use his Sea Dog style that's more fitting for Majima's new life as a pirate. Primarily using cutlasses to take down enemies, the Sea Dog style also lets Majima use sidearms to activate triple finishers. Three sidearms are available throughout the game, including the Cutlass Boomerang, Pistol, and Chain Hook. Things get particularly wild with the Dark Instruments, however. Majima will build up a Madness Gauge while fighting (separate to Heat Actions) that can be used to activate this new ability, with players able to choose between playing a violin, saxaphone, guitar, and the aforementioned ocarina.

"This creature will heal Majima and his allies, as well as shock and immobilize nearby enemies."
