Paradise VR Upgraded!

Paradise VR Upgraded! (, Zoku - VR Saron: Paradaisu!, Lit. "Continued - VR Salon: Paradise!") is the 13th side case in Lost Judgment.
==Plot==
Tashiro invites Yagami to see the upgraded version of Dice & Cube. He states that popularity has been booming due to the new rivals added, and tells Yagami the rivals are based on people he knows due to not wanting to spend money on concept art. Tashiro adds that he did not ask for permission to avoid them asking to pay royalties. He then tasks Yagami with defeating each rival at least once. After beating a rival, Tashiro and Yagami have a chat.
* Virtua Kaito: Tashiro is still bitter of how Kaito and Yagami stole his clothes for a disguise, and sees putting Kaito in the game as payback.
* Virtua Higashi: Higashi and Tashiro never connected when they were in the Matsugane Family. Tashiro starts to become curious of Higashi after Yagami points out they are both committed to waring sunglasses at all times.
* Virtua Sugiura: Tashiro wanted a pretty-looking character to round out the cast, and took pictures of Sugiura after seeing him at Yokohama 99. He states he will take off the clothes on "Prettyboy"'s model if he complains of his inclusion.
* Virtua Tashiro: His outfit is custom Italian fabric that cost ¥3,000,000, and he is making monthly payments to pay off the cost. His salary as an event producer is average at best.
* Virtua Ryan: Ryan has not been arrested despite his behavior potentially endangeting people. He has apparently become a live streamer now.
* Virtua Tanago: The two of them cannot remember anything about him aside from his "Mr. Try and Hit Me" gig. Even the character modeler stated he was generic.
* Virtua Suzaki: Ryo is still a drunk, but Masashi became a real estate agent. The two are actually split personalities of the same person.
After all the rivals are defeated, Ryan, Tanago, and Suzaki arrive after hearing of characters in a VR game whose description matches their own. Tanago states he is happy to be part of something despite not being special. Suzaki accuses Tashiro of spreading lies, but Tashiro states his evidence for Masashi and Ryo being the same were the fact that a ramen stain on Masashi appears on Ryo in the exact spot. Suzaki does not confirm or deny having split personalities. Ryan states he is owed compensation for the voice assets he stole from a phone call.
With Tashiro refusing to admit fault, Suzaki recalls a post Tashiro made of the price of his clothing, and Tanago thinks wearing Tashiro's clothes will help him stand out. With Tashiro beaten and his suit confiscated, Ryan directs them to Ebisu Pawn and Suzaki suggests using the money to buy drinks, while Tanago wants to exchange "try and hit me" puns to flesh out his character.

 	Kenji Tanago 	Defeat the Rivals in VR Sugoroku
Kamurocho's very own Mr. Try and Hit Me. Any contestant who wants to challenge him must pay an entrance fee and hit Tanago within a certain time limit. If the challenger lands a hit, they receive a large sum of prize money. This street gig is how Tanago has made his living. Recently, his likeness was appropriated into a VR game, and he seems to be concerned over his lack of individuality when compared to his fellow characters.	Kamurocho's very own Mr. Try and Hit Me.

===Details===
It seems Tashiro-kun used the likenesses of his acquaintances without their permission to make his game stand out. Does he now know the concept of publicity rights? I'm sure he's gonna get sued into the ground eventually... but that's on him, not me.
Ryan, Suzaki, and Tanago found out that Tashiro-kun was appropriating their likenesses, so they took his favorite outfit as revenge. Mind you, this outfit cost him three million yen, which he was paying off in monthly installments. I don't know how many payments he has left, but I imagine it doesn't feel good to keep paying for what you no longer own. In all honesty, he should've seen this coming.
