Passing the Torch (, Denshō, Lit. "Tradition") is the 14th chapter of Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
== Plot ==
In Survive Bar, Kasuga contemplates him being Arakawa's biological son, reminiscing his last meeting with him at the seaside. He decides that he needs to settle things with Aoki, but Nanba states they do not know where he is. Kume may know Aoki's whereabouts, prompting Kasuga to go to Bleach Japan's office in Hakuryo Building. As Kasuga steps outside, he sees Adachi, Han, Saeko, and Zhao stand off against a horde of Tokyo Omi Alliance members. They fight their way past them.
Upon arrival at the Hakuryo Building, the party find the place to be empty and its doors open. Saeko notices Tokyo Omi Alliance converging outside, leading to a fight in front of the building. After defeating the thugs, Kasuga roughs one of the thugs to get to know Kume's whereabouts to the point Kasuga starts beating him to death, after the thug tells him that Kume fled to Kamurocho. Before Kasuga harms him too much, Kazuma Kiryu arrives to stop him. Kiryu tells Kasuga that Aoki's next move will take place in Ijincho but refuses to tell Kasuga after what he witnessed and to meet him at Geomijul after dusk. Han tells Kasuga that Seong-hui is attempting to get Geomijul is back online. Following Han's response, Kiryu reminisces about meeting a similar-looking person a few years ago, confirming that he employed a body double.
At the Governor's office, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Horinouchi is told that Aoki was not involved in Hoshino's death, putting the blame on the now-imprisoned Sawashiro. Horinouchi also gives the heads-up about Omi Alliance's recent dissolution, questioning is Aoki's really was in control of Arakawa, to which Aoki responds by saying that Arakawa has been dealt with, as well as telling him that he need to distance himself from the law enforcement for the time being. Afterwards, Ishioda comes in, telling Aoki that Kume needs extra security personnel for his campaign trail, and that he has made preparations for Ijincho. Aoki is relishing the prospect of Horinouchi living under his beck and call, and tells Ishioda he may appoint him to be the next chairman of the Tokyo Omi Alliance.
Back in Ijincho, the party makes their way to Geomijul at night, where Kiryu expects them. There, Kasuga points out how Kiryu knows all about him but he knows nothing of Kiryu. He gives them an option: learn about him or learn about Aoki's next move, which, after some consideration, Kasuga choses the latter, under the condition Kiryu fights them to see if they are worthy, leading to a battle. In spite of their best efforts, the party only manages to make Kiryu breathe slightly more heavily, and Kasuga is knocked out afterwards, where he has a dream of killing a large silver dragon reminiscent of the one on the mysterious man's back. After Saeko wakes him up, Kiryu tells Kasuga to be calmer, as he saw Kasuga blinded with rage earlier that day before letting them enter the now-revived Geomijul's base of operation.
Inside, they're welcomed by Seong-hui, who tells them that Kiryu wants to prevent Aoki's next move by spying on his acquaintances, with special attention being put on an assassin figure. He states that according to his sources, Aoki may kill Sawashiro at any moment, given that Aoki considers him a liability. Then, the party set their sights on five-hour-old CCTV footage from the Bar District, showing a certain figure that Zhao knows: Mirror Face, a legendary assassin known for being the master of disguise and ability to cover his tracks, confirming that Aoki is going to off Sawashiro. Mirror Face will disguise himself as a policeman to get close to Sawashiro.
Kasuga asks Kiryu for help, however, he declines, stating that he cannot involve himself more than he already has or he risks breaking the contract that allowed him to disappear, telling Kasuga he needed to disappear in order to protect those he cherishes. After Kiryu’s departure, Geomijul members pick up footage, showing Ishioda arriving by taxi and entering the same building as Mirror Face, confirming Aoki is using Ishioda to make his next hit. With Seong-hui's intel, the party heads for a building at the corner of Bar District to launch an attack.
Outside the building, Kasuga is called by Seong-hui and told Ishioda and Mirror Face are on the 4th floor with reinforcements. The party is attacked by the Ishioda Family. They make their way through the building, fighting Ishioda Family members, and arrive at the 4th floor, where they see Ishioda. Adachi is restrained by Mirror Face who disguised himself as Adachi. Kasuga manages to recognize the real Adachi through a simple quiz about traffic laws, knowing that the real Adachi does not know them well, which baffles Mirror Face. 
The party then proceeds to fight Ishioda and Mirror Face, and upon defeat, Kasuga tells him that if Sawashiro knows that Ishioda and Aoki are going to off him, he may have revealed secrets when he would not have otherwise. Afterwards, Ishioda confirms he did go to murder Arakawa under Aoki's orders, but someone intervened and stopped him. 
While Ishioda had a sniper aimed at Arakawa, Tendo met with Arakawa to congratulate him and pointed out Ishioda to him as Ishioda was planning to kill both, and they were surrounded by Tendo's men. Arakawa told him that the age where yakuza can be yakuza freely is over, and to find a new path. Tendo stated he now had a change to get to the top, and shot Arakawa.
The party tries to ask Ishioda for Tendo's whereabouts, but a man outside reports Ishioda's failure to Tendo. With Aoki's confirmation, Tendo orders his minion to detonate a bomb in Ishioda's room.
