Yakuza: Like a Dragon/Chapter 13

Coin Locker Baby (, Koin Rokkā Beibī) is the 13th chapter of Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
== Plot ==
A distraught Kasuga rushes to the spot where Arakawa's body was found, before police restrain him. Later, Takabe informs Adachi that Arakawa left Heian Tower alone after having dinner with Hoshino. He thinks an Omi loyalist may have shot him on the way home, as assassination attempts were also made on Watase and Dojima, though those two are unharmed. Takabe adds that Kasuga's party may also be targeted, as they were defending Dojima and Watase during the Tojo/Omi dissolution. Kasuga is sitting disheartened next to Saeko and Nanba.
In the Kamurocho Heian Tower, Sawashiro is kneeling down before a host of ex-Tojo yakuza, who state they only defected to the Omi for the family's survival and were promised a promotion to the main family by Arakawa. Then, Ishioda arrives, asking for forgiveness to the guests by offering them a large sum of cash, which they accept and allow the Arakawa Family to keep its ties. The ease of terms being settled angers Sawashiro, and he kills an attendant by squeezing an eye in. He states he will unite the Omi remnants in Tokyo under the Tokyo Omi Alliance. He states he will make Arakawa's killer pay, and he and Ishioda accuse the other of having done the deed.
Kasuga recalls the day he was saved by Arakawa. At Survive Bar, Kasuga received a phone call, and Zhao speaking up gets him to answer it. Hoshino checks up on him, and he admits he has not been eating. Hoshino invites him to Heian Tower. There, Hoshino tells him Arakawa looked at peace after finally dissolving the Omi and reuniting with Kasuga, and that their dinner the other night was Arakawa's first time eating Peking duck. Hoshino offered to accompany Arakawa as he walked home, but he declined. 
Hoshino is certain that Arakawa was killed by Omi loyalists who acted on revenge. He adds that the loyalists in Kanto are rounding up, and suspects Aoki ordered it. He asks Kasuga to avenge Arakawa, and offers to have the Seiryu Clan assist him. Kasuga declines it on the grounds that he wants to continue Arakawa's dream of restoring the yakuza to its former glory while giving a wake up call to Aoki that he should not use yakuza to his advantages, which Hoshino understands. Kasuga states he has a plan for meeting Aoki, and he does not need the Seiryu Clan's help as he already has strong allies, then leaves.
Outside Heian Tower, Kasuga is now feeling better and decides to visit Kume in order to be able to meet Aoki. Han notes that today is the due date for the paperwork of all election candidates, adding that the fate of the Great Wall of Muscle depends on the election. Each candidate gives a speech on a stage in their district, leading the party to Isezaki Road. When trying to get through the crowd to meet Kume, Kasuga recognizes one of the guards from his previous attempt to get close to Aoki. After roughing up a bunch of Tokyo Omi Alliance thugs, Kasuga learns that Kume will not speak to civilians and that the party has been blacklisted as threats, with many Omi yakuza watching over them.
Meanwhile, over at a news studio, Aoki is interviewed on live television about public opinion on him assuming the role of CLP party chair. A survey shows that 80.4% support it, citing the success of Kamurocho 3K Plan, which Aoki states was with the cooperation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. He is asked if the yakuza are truly gone from Kamurocho, as there are rumors the Omi Alliance have filled the void, but Aoki states it had disbanded and his plan was more successful than the Omi's dissolution, as Arakawa's murder was proof it had opposition. He also wishes to rejuvenate the CLP through the upcoming election by endorsing the younger candidates of Bleach Japan.
Hoshino arrives and sees what Kasuga's plan to get to Aoki was. At the seaside, Hoshino returns the ¥3 million that Kasuga had raised previously, stating he was unable to find a candidate. He states Kasuga should run for Kanagawa 2nd District to get close to Kume, as it is custom for election candidates to greet if they pass by each other. Kume cannot refuse a handshake, as doing so causes public opinion to turn against the candidate. Though Kasuga has a criminal record, he has served his term and he is allowed to run for office. He accepts, and realizing that their deadline is tight, the party rushes their way to Nishihama Building so Kasuga can register his candidacy. One of Kume's bodyguards learns of Kasuga's campaign.
The next day, they see that Survive Bar is teeming with protest stickers from Kume's campaigners. Takabe pays a visit to Survive Bar with a message from Hoshino, who lets them use an old van the used to sell things out of for campaign purposes. The party heads for Hamakita Park for their first campaign, as that is where Kume will give a speech. At the park, Han figured that Kume won't show Kasuga any respect due to him negatively campaigning Kasuga, which Kasuga thinks can be used a chance to gain publicity and clear his name, leading to an impromptu debate between the two candidates. 
Kasuga states the laws are not perfect, and forcing people to accept imperfect laws is a paradox and a gray zone. He states he himself was rescued by people in gray zones rather than the law; those in gray zones did not make the choice to be there. Kume cannot come up with responses to Kasuga's argument, and the Chief and Hamako, alongside residents of the Homeless Quarter, voice their support for Kasuga. After Kasuga offers to shake hands, Kume abruptly retreats from the campaign and Kasuga gains buzz on social media, which angers Aoki. Aoki gives Sawashiro 24 hours to kill a certain target to prove his claim as the chairman of the provisional Tokyo Omi Alliance. 
Back at Survive Bar, the party prepares for Kume's next campaign at Jinnai Station, figuring that going on foot would prevent Kume from seeing them and running off. There, Kasuga fights Tokyo Omi members - who state they cannot be traces back to Kume if they kill him - and manages to shake Kume's hand, gaining more publicity. Before he and Kume can chat in private, Han receives a tip-off that Hoshino's life is in danger, prompting them to rush to the Seiryu Clan's office. 
They arrive to see that the Tokyo Omi Alliance had invaded the Seiryu HQ, leaving Takabe and his soldiers injured. Upon fighting the Tokyo Omi goons and reaching Hoshino's office, they find Hoshino dead to Sawashiro on Aoki's orders as retaliation for Kasuga running in the election, as he is receiving the support of the Ijin Three, of which Hoshino is a core part of. Additionally, killing Kasuga directly would cause an inconvenice due to his current popularity.
A fight then ensues between Kasuga and Sawashiro, which ends in Sawashiro's defeat. Upon defeat, Sawashiro tells Kasuga that Aoki ordered him to kill Arakawa, but he refused. Not because Arakawa is his patriarch, but because of a reason he never told anyone else. He first encountered Arakawa years ago. At age 15, Sawashiro was wandering the streets with no future an alcoholic father waiting at home. He entered a relationship with a girl whose name he cannot remember, and the two eventually conceived a child. By the time he learned, it was too late for an abortion.
They were hoping for a miscarriage, but the baby was born in a department store bathroom while Sawashiro was working a construction job. With no adult guidance, they decided to ignore their baby and lock him in a coin locker. After an arguemnt in Public Park 3, Sawashiro's partner went to retrieve the baby, but they arrived to see Arakawa take their baby, who would later be named Masato Arakawa, and felt it was for the better. Five years later, Sawashiro and his partner split, and he saw Arakawa and his son on the streets. Masato was never able to walk due to the hypothermia he suffered from at birth. Feeling that he was bound to become a yakuza and feeling guilt over Masato's condition, he decided to join Arakawa's yakuza family.
Sawashiro states he and his partner stood there, wondering why a yakuza saved their baby, then they saw Jiro Kasuga take a baby from an adjacent coin locker, meaning Kasuga is most likely the baby Akane Kishida gave birth to, and suspects she told Jiro where to find him in case things did not go as planned. Sawashiro states he had no future after refusing an order from Aoki, and suspects he was ordered to something as risky as killing Hoshino because he saw Sawashiro as disposable. He also suspects that Ishioda may be behind Arakawa's death before he is arrested. Han receives an update from the Geomijul that Sawashiro himself leaked his kill order, guessing that he wanted Kasuga to stop him but was unable to say it straight, as it would mean a betrayal, leaving Kasuga upset about Sawashiro constantly making impossible demands for him.
