How to Start The "Crossed Words" Substory in Yakuza 0
To initiate "Crossed Words" (Substory 57) in Yakuza 0, players need to be controlling Majima Goro in Sotenbori during Chapter 3. Their first step is to visit Kani Douraku, a notable restaurant in Sotenbori known for its giant crab sign, which is inspired by a real restaurant in Osaka's Dotonbori area.
Outside Kani Douraku, Majima comes across a young couple who are engaged in a heated argument. The "Frantic Man" is criticizing the "Frustrated Young Woman," and her frustration grows more apparent as time goes by. Intrigued by the situation, Majima decides to intervene and understand what is happening. The Frantic Man then introduces Majima to a crossword puzzle he created and proceeds to explain it, knowing that Majima has never encountered one before.
Shizuku, the girl in the couple, admits that her boyfriend, Kosaku, has created an exceptionally difficult crossword puzzle, causing her to consider giving up. Surprised by this, Kosaku anxiously urges Shizuku to persist in attempting to solve the puzzle. At first, Majima intends to let them handle their problem on their own. However, Kosaku takes Majima aside and reveals that the puzzle holds great significance.
Kosaku seems to have a plan to propose to Shizuku with a solved crossword puzzle. However, he is worried that if she can't solve it, he might miss his opportunity. Desperately seeking help, Kosaku implores Majima to assist him. The player has the option to agree, and if they do, they all enter the restaurant together to take on the challenge of unraveling the puzzle.
