"**Rest in Peace**" is the ninth mission of the Ronin story arc in *Saints Row 2*.

*Texas funeral here in Stilwater*— Stilwater Gazette newspaper headline

## Overview

Johnny Gat and Playa are at Aisha's funeral at the Mourning Woods Cemetery when Shogo Akuji arrives with members of The Ronin to ambush Gat and Playa. Although Gat asks Shogo to leave, promising him a fight at any other time, Shogo ignores him and challenges Gat in a fight to the death.

Playa and Gat fight off waves of Ronin attackers and chase Shogo down on his Kaneda prototype motorcycle. After being caught, Shogo is dragged back to the cemetery by Playa, where he is brutally beaten by Gat. Gat dumps out a random Civilian from another funeral, seals Shogo in it, and proceeds to bury him alive with Playa's help. Shogo screams and begs from inside the coffin for Gat to just kill him instead.

### Story

Upon completion of the Mission, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

 The son of Kazuo Akuji is missing and presumed dead after yet another fight broke out between members of the Third Street Saints and the Ronin. Witnesses say the younger Akuji had expressed interest in assaulting the Saints leaders while they were attending a funeral, but the Stilwater Gazette has yet to confirm this.
## Gameplay

Kill **Shogo**
After the introductory cutscene, Shogo Akuji runs away while armed with either a K6 Krukov or an AR-50 XMAC. The mission is straightforward to begin with because all the only objective is to kill Akuji and the members of The Ronin accompanying him. Once Shogo's health is depleted to half, he retreats to the garage of a nearby house.

Kill the **Ronin Lieutenants**
Shogo leaves behind 17 Ronin lieutenants to attack Playa. Enemies can easily surround Playa, and reinforcements can come from any direction; there is also not much cover as the tombstones are breakable.

In Co-op there are 4 additional lieutenants.

Find **Shogo** in the **house**
After all the lieutenants are dead, go to the garage where Shogo is hiding.

Kill **Shogo**
Shogo attempts to escape on his Kaneda and Playa is provided with a Kenshin. It is possible to hijack a Ronin Hayate Z70 instead, but the chase doesn't take long so it may not be worth it. There are other enemies during this chase, who distract from attacking Shogo. After Shogo's health empties, a cutscene plays and the mission ends.

The mission can be failed by getting Smoked, Busted, abandoning/killing Johnny, or letting Shogo escape during the motorcycle chase.

## Trivia

* After The Ronin lieutenants are killed, Shogo escapes on his unique Kaneda, which is not unlocked until the final Ronin mission is completed.
* The newspaper article that is displayed at the end of the mission says "*Texas funeral here in Stilwater*". A Texas funeral is the act of burying someone alive.
* Playa does not have any spoken lines during this mission.
* If Johnny is killed before killing all lieutenants and if they are killed before reviving Johnny, he bleeds out as if he is dead, although it doesn't affect the mission or the storyline.
* All lieutenants use different low-resolution textures.
* After the events of *Saints Row: Gat out of Hell*, Shogo's death is reenacted in by Shakespeare as part of his new passion play after being defeated by Johnny and his crew off-screen.
* Gat wears the same suit from Appointed Defender.
* The marked enemies in the "Kill the Ronin Lieutenants" objective are low detail models not used anywhere else in the game. There is a second low detail Ronin model which is not used at all.
* Aisha's sister does not attend the funeral, the only other attendees are 3 random Saints.

## Transcript

### "Eulogy" cutscene

Playa and Johnny Gat, along with three Third Street Saints members, attend Aisha's funeral. A priest is reciting an eulogy.**Priest**: "*Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.*"
Suddenly, Shogo arrives at the funeral in his motorcycle and points accusatorily at Gat.**Shogo Akuji**: "*You two have humiliated my family for the last time!*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Leave little boy.*"
**Shogo Akuji**: "*Look at me when I'm talking to you!*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Fuck off Akuji, I'm not killing anyone at Eesh's funeral. Tonight, tomorrow...you name a time and I will gladly fuck you up...but not now.*"
Shogo brandishes a GAL 43 as several Ronin members appear to back him up.**Shogo Akuji**: "*How noble...nobility is sorely over rated.*"

### "Requiem" cutscene

Shogo is being dragged along by Playa.**Shogo Akuji**: "*Where are you taking me, let me go!*"
Playa throws Shogo towards Gat, who knocks him to the ground with a punch to the face.**Johnny Gat**: "*Get up.*"
Shogo gets up, and feebly tries to kick Gat. Gat grabs his leg and slams his elbow into it, seemingly breaking Shogo's leg and causing Shogo to whimper on agony. Gat then grabs Shogo's head headbutts him, sending Shogo to the ground.**Johnny Gat**: "*Get up.*"
Shogo gets back up, hobbling on his broken leg, and punches Gat in the face. An unfazed Gat promptly hits Shogo back in the face, and follows up with slamming his knee into Shogo's face, knocking him to the ground next to a gravestone. Shogo weakly grabs against the gravestone, exhausted.**Johnny Gat**: "*Get up.*"
**Shogo Akuji**: "*Please stop.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Not so fun when you're fighting someone who isn't tied to a chair is it?*"
**Shogo Akuji**: "*I didn't kill her!*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*You ordered it.*"
Gat punches Shogo in the face, smashing him through the gravestone.**Shogo Akuji**: "*I'm sorry.*"
**Johnny Gat**: "*Well that brings her back doesn't it...*"
Gat picks Shogo up and drags him towards a coffin from another funeral.**Johnny Gat**: "*You couldn't even let her have a burial you fucking piece of shit...*"
Gat opens the coffin and empties the body, which falls next to Shogo. Shogo looks up at Gat and realizes what he is about to do.**Shogo Akuji**: "*No...*"
**Shogo Akuji**: "*No, please no...*"
Gat picks up Shogo and tosses him into the coffin. He then closes it and sets the coffin down in the hole as Playa throws him a shovel.**Shogo Akuji**: "*Kill me, but don't do this!*"
**Shogo Akuji**: "*Just kill me damn it, don't do this!*"
Gat and Playa silently begin burying the coffin with the screaming Shogo inside. — "Requiem" cutscene
