What was with the prison scene? *spoilers*

[amills1]

Did the developers forget that the Yakuza boss had several of his henchmen in the jail with him when the prison guard decided to turn traitor? Why didn't they pour out the cell and help him?

They were knocked out by majima

No they werent. Did you play the game many years ago and cant remember?
Majima only fights Nishitani. It was a fair 1 vs 1 match. They become kind of friends after the fight lighting a cigarette together. Majima had no reason to fight all of them.
And Nishitani's henchmen are all non existent when Nishitani is shot.
The writers forgot about the henchmen there with him. There's nobody else in the cell.
I just got through this part too and game has some holes.
I'm especially bothered by how easily everyone recovers from gun shots.

one thing i found really weird about this scene is that nishitani's men just disappear like that. when majima kicks nishitani while he was sleeping, they just surrounded majima to protect nishitani, and when he's about to smoke, one of them offers him a lighter, just like how a family man to his patriarch/captain. safe to assume that they're his men / kijin's family or at least tojo's guys.
but when nishitani gets gunned down like that, they're nowhere to be found. the most loyal men would take a bullet or at least retaliate when they see their boss getting attacked, or at least some reaction like calling out to their boss or maybe even running away or cowering. but the problem is that they're just disappear. that just a very weird oversight to me

Yes i played yakuza 0 many years ago
Also if you rewatch the main cutscene, the men are nowhere to be seen, as if they were never there....

I'm not at that part in my game but I had bigger questions after Lee's van explodes. Sagawa is clearly shot in the back and the hand by the mysterious guy who takes Makoto.

You go to Kiryu's story and when you get back Sagawa's just trotting around and swinging a bat at Majima like he was never shot. The hand injury is one thing but you're not waltzing around like that after being shot in the back...I had to rewatch the explosion scene just to make sure I was remembering it right. Found that to be a bit of a baffling omission...almost like they added him getting shot to the plot after they animated the scenes after it.
